Mi-24K

COMRADES!!

The decaying West must be stopped!  As such, I present an aircraft that will come in handy against the corrupt naval forces of NATO!

Behold!  The Mi-24K multirole naval helicopter.  This version of the successful army gunship and troop carrier has been modified for use aboard both the carriers of the Motherland's Navy, but also the larger assault ships of the Samsonov class helicopter assault ships (smaller Kiev type ships minus the long-range ASW and ASuW weapons, but with Naval Artillery guns mounted in their place).  The helicopter itself can be armed with a variety of ASW, ASuW, and AAW weapons.  The chin gun having been replaced with a surface search radar, and a dipping sonar has been added abaft the main landing gear.

This particular example is armed for true multirole versatility, with two gun pods for troop landing support, two Kh-58U anti-radar missiles, and two depth bombs for use against NATO submarines.  The cabin can also hold a squad of Spetnaz commandos.

This is a 1/72 Italeri Mi-24 Hind-D, repainted and rearmed for its proper use.
