Twinblade

The KA-65 Twinblade is a Soviet helicopter designed for a joint role as a gunship and a heavy transport. Designed by Krasna Aerospace, this machine is sturdy and well armed with two PKX 12.7mm heavy machineguns, and four 60mm "Oduvanchik" rocket pods.

The twinblades have functionally limitless ammunition, allowing them to constantly fire their machineguns; however they must stop and reload their rocket pods after exhausting their supply.

It's three rotor design (two main rotors and a tail rotor) give it unparralled stability and lift for a helicopter, allowing it to transport almost any ground unit. It can carry a squad of infantry or vehicles, but not both at once.

The vehicle has weaknesses however. While brimming with firepower, all of it is directed to the ground, making it a favorite target of Allied Apollo Fighters. Additionally, when carrying important units, the loss of the Twinblade results in the unit's destruction as well.

The Twinblade is a symbol of Russian strength, often used to enforce the Red Army's "Zero-Tolerance" policy towards battlefield desertions. Additionally, it's copilot is always a comissar, to motivate the pilot as well as the unit being towed.
