Description

The Mi-320 Hitter is an advanced attack helicopter that is used by the Russian Space Federation as its primary anti-tank platform. The helicopter features composiite blades, and impressive offensive/defensive suite. Its main selling point is the use of the Artificial Intelligence Complex (referred to by its pilots as either "Boris" or "Natalya" depending on speech gender preference) and is roughly capable as the DJINN used by the ESU. It is a fairly capable AI system that handles most of the targeting functions. It features a mast mounted and underbelly sensor system (though some field modifications add remote turrets on the underside to cover dead zones. Main armament is a 2A100 30mm cannon and pylons that can mount a total of 16 Swansong dual-role missiles (anti-tank/anti-air) or rocket or gun pods, or a wide variety of client weapon systems.

The Mi-320 is also exported with main sales coming from the Independent Planets as well as the mercenary units that can afford the helicopter.

Shown above is a typical Free Land of Sulsi Hitter, mainly armed with locally developed anti-tank rockets. Since the opposition force does not have heavy armor (no anti-grav technology either) they did not buy any Swansong missiles. However, after an incident involving two ESU anti-gravity tanks, the FLS Ministry of Defense has considered equipping its helicopters for future incursions. And it was the main threat helicopter in the ebook, Rolling Thunder (Amaon Kindle: [link] | Smashwords: [link])
