The Perfidious
Гa-27 Gunship above Uzzad-k-Zyrg Plateau, c. 1990
Produced by the firm Гacтpoв (Gastrov), the Гa-27 is a robust helicopter in use primarily with the Khakas National Garrison. Used in a myriad of roles due to its ease of manufacture and reliable chassis, it has seen use as a transport helicopter, a gunship transport, and with the Khakas Red Cross Service, to name a few. Initially developed for the Yiddeian Navy, the factory which produced it was one of the first to fall into Khakas hands after the collapse of the Yiddeian S.S.R., the weakest but largest member of the Y.S.S.R.'s Leaftern Pact. Its unusual layout and cumbersome appearance leave much to be desired; its older engines and fat body do not allow for high speeds, and it lacks a large number of hardpoints, something which is sorrowly missed in the modern conflicts of 1991. However, it is still loved by its crews, and sees widespread service within the National garrison, not the least for its dual-35mm HE/APDS autocannon.
Thanks to Awesome-o-saurus for some suggestions, and to Yodadud for suggestions, but as always, this is a 100% me build. And no, I dodn't bother trying to get a blur effect on the rotors, because I knew it would just look bad.
