Due to a boost in Mititary Funding the Republic of Evopia can Now Mass Produce the Following Helicopter Models:
Sikorsky MH-53J
http://avia.russian.ee/air/cartoons/helicopters/stallion_cart.gif
Factfile:
The Sikorsky is Currently largest and heaviest helicopter in the western world.
The Sikorsky carries a crew of 3 and can airlift 38 troops and their equipment, 24 casualty litters and 4 medical attendants, or some 3630kg of cargo within the fuselage.
A let-down rear ramp provides access for such military loads as 2 jeeps, a Hawk missiles, or a 105mm howitzer and its carriage. A slung load of some 5900kg can be lifted on an under-fuselage hook.
Name: Sikorsky MH-53J
Max. Gross Weight:20865kg
Crew:3
Passengers: Read Above.
Weapons: can be fitted with:- Hawk Missiles/105mm Howitzer Can be modified
Cost: 52 Mil.

http://avia.russian.ee/vertigo/foto/ka-50.jpg
Factfile:
Kamov Ka-50 "Hokum" is a single-seat attack helicopter for destroying armored vehicles, slow-speed air targets and manpower on the battlefield
The helicopter has two, three-blade rotors of 14.5-m diameter each
The airframe features perfect aerodynamic outlines, mid-set stub wing, retractable three-leg landing gear and empennage of a fixed-wing aircraft type. The pilot cockpit is fully armored. The emergency pilot escape system, comprising an ejection seat, saves the pilot within the entire flight speed and altitude range. A set of improved survivability means allows Kamov Ka-50 "Hokum" to attack successfully the specified targets and to survive under intensive fire counteraction.
Numerous weapons options for the helicopter are achieved by arranging a movable high-speed firing gun starboard of the helicopter, and by six available external wing stores with different combination of anti-tank missiles, rockets, "air-to-air" missiles, gun ammunition of a container type and bombs of various caliber.
Total weight of the weapons on the wing stores is 2300kg.
From the point of view of the weapons power the "Hokum" helicopter is superior to all existing combat helicopters.
Name:Kamov Ka-50 "Hokum"
Crew:1
Passengers:None
Weapons:six available external wing stores with different combination of anti-tank missiles, rockets, "air-to-air" missiles, gun ammunition of a container type and bombs of various caliber.
Cost: 57 Mil.

McDonnell-Douglas AH-64 "Apache"
http://avia.russian.ee/vertigo/foto/hughes_apache.jpg
http://avia.russian.ee/air/cartoons/helicopters/apache_cart.gif
Factfile:
The US Army's AAH (Advanced Attack Helicopter) programme is the biggest Western programme of its kind: it calls for an aircraft capable of operating day and night in all weathers, which can be based with front line troops if necessary.
The AH-64 is an aggressive-looking helicopter seating two in tandem, with a semi-monocoque fuselage of narrow cross-section. The copilot/gunner sits in the rear seat, which is raised and has good all-round visibility. The two 1690shp General Electric T700-GE-701 turbines are mounted on either side of the fuselage, behind the rotor transmission, in two separate nacelles. The four-blade metal rotor is of the articulated type with the blades angled at 60°/120° in relation to each other to reduce noise levels.
What is really impressive is its armament and the complexity of the electronic equipment. The highly-sophisticated avionics include TADS (Target Acquisition and Designation Sight) associated with a night vision system using passive FLIR (Forward-Looking Infra-red), low light level TV, a laser rangefinder and target designator for use with Hellfire missiles, all associated with a computerized fire control system. The armament includes a 30mm XM-230E1 automatic cannon firing 750 rounds, and 16 Hellfire antitank missiles or seventy-six 2.75 inch rockets beneath the stub wings. All the most vulnerable parts are protected by armour against shots of up to 23mm caliber.
Name:McDonnell-Douglas AH-64 "Apache"
Crew:2 in Tandum
Passengers:None
Weapons:30mm XM-230E1 automatic cannon,16 Hellfire antitank missiles or seventy-six 2.75 inch rockets beneath the stub wings Can be Modified
Cost:48 Mil.
