MH-60S Knighthawk US Navy Helicopter

The Sikorsky MH-60S multimission helicopter Knighthawk entered service in February 2002. U.S. Navy expected to acquire a total of 237 of the MH-60S helicopters to conduct vertical replenishment missions as search and rescue combat support of the war and special measures in the mine air.

The helicopter was originally designated CH-60S, replacing Boeing U.S. Navy CH-46D Sea Knight helicopters heavy load on the vertical replenishment role. The helicopter was re-designated MH-60S, as a result of expansion in the mission requirements to include a wide range of additional capabilities of combat support. Withdrawal of the U.S. Navy Knights concluded the Sea in September 2004.

Dassault Super Etendard Strike Fighter jet

The Dassault Super Etendard is a single seat Strike Fighter jet, first introduced into service in 1978. This is an updated version of the Etendard IVM. Based on the experience gained during the Korean War (1950-53), French authorities drew up specifications for a light interceptor. This definition was quickly assimilated into a program from a tactical light bomber that could carry out a mission of air superiority. At the same time, NATO published its requirements for the LWTSF (Light Weight Tactical Strike Fighter). In response, the company presented its Mirage and Dassault Etendard.

MI-8 HIP Multi-Role Transport Helicopter

The MI-8 HIP is a multi-role transport helicopter capable of carring transport troops and supplies as well as performing attacker armed with rockets and guns. It is often used to resupply guerrillas, insert detachments or provide air support to attacking units. Designed as a transport helicopter, the Mi-8 proved a multi-purpose machine. The suspension of external cable, equipped with the device for measuring weight, can be transported large loads of up to three tons. If necessary, it became both combat, rescue helicopters and artillery observation.

The large, five-blade main rotor is mounted on the engine in the midsection, while carrying a weapons platform mounted on the lower half of the body. External stores are mounted on weapons racks on each side of the fuselage. The C has four external landmarks HIP, E HIP, HIP H, six, other variants have none. Not all available munitions used at the same time, the mission determines the configuration of weapons. Two turboshaft engines are mounted on the top of the fuselage with two round air intakes just above the cockpit and rounded exhaust ports aft. The Mi-8 is capable of single-engine flight in case of loss of power from one engine (depending on aircraft mission weight) because of a distribution system of the engine load. If an engine fails, the output of other engines is automatically increased to allow continued flight.

The fuselage consists of a long, bus-like body with a rounded nose and the cockpit glass. Interior seats are removable for transporting cargo. The rear doors open deck, a winch for easy loading inside of heavy goods. Lashing floor is everywhere. The aircraft carries a rescue crane capable of 150 kg, and a harness system can load 3,000 kg. Two fuel pods are offset and mounted low in the body, which has a built in rear section and tricycle landing gear. The tail cone to the small arrow, and tapered fin with rotor on top right or left, with small flats mounted forward of the fin.

Tornado GR4 all-Weather Attack Aircraft

The Tornado GR4 is a variable geometry, two-seat, day or night, all-weather attack aircraft capable of delivering a wide variety of weapons. Powered by two Rolls-Royce RB 199 Mk 103 turbofan engines, the GR4 is capable of low-level supersonic flight and can sustain a high subsonic cruise speed. The aircraft can fly automatically at low level terrain following radar (TFR), when bad weather prevents visual flight.

The aircraft also is equipped with Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) and night vision goggles (NVG) compatible. This gives a relatively unique ability to weather all night, and it is an impressive platform for mounting the electro-optical passive night operations. For navigation purposes, the Tornado is equipped with an integrated Global Positioning Inertial Navigation (GPINS).

The GR4 also has a ground radar map (GMR) to identify and correct any points for updating navigation systems as well as provide an air to air search tool. The GR4 also equipped with a Laser Ranger and Marked Target Seeker (LRMTS) that can be used to locate targets on the ground or designated to provide accurate information to the range of ground targets.

Small, agile and lightweight, the first delta wing, canard configured Gripen (Griffon) prototype made its maiden flight on December 8, 1988. The JAS 39 is truly a multi-role aircraft in every sense of the word. Setting the combat aircraft, attack, or types of awards mission is to simply by changing the onboard computer software and related systems. Data is transmitted to the pilot through three head forward and MFDs wide-angle HUD. For the enemy target, the MFD to the right of the pilot are the objective data acquired by radar, FLIR, sensors and weapons. The total need for the Swedish Air Force stands at 300 aircraft to equip 16 squadrons.

It had small wings attached to the side of the fuselage that could not load the rotor during high speed flight. The helicopter was powered by a General Electric T64-GE 4350shp-16 for gas turbine engine 3925shp reduced power.

The Cheyenne could accommodate a crew of two seated in tandem in a closed cabin with passenger gunner in front of the pilot in a weapons platform that could rotate 360 ​​°. A second weapon system was housed in a nose turret. Six under the wing attachment points used for missiles or rocket pods. The sophisticated weapons sighting system includes night vision equipment and a view of the helmet-gun.

Mi-28N Night Hunter Attack Helicopters
