Ka-75

After the North Atlantic Union and the Indo-Pacific Coalition showed off their autocannon-based AAA vehicles, the Imperium knew that their gunships would now be facing shells instead of missiles most of the time. Then they took a look at the pre-crisis-era Mi-28, and deemed it very bad. Very, very bad.

Therefore, they dusted off an old gunship design: the Ka-52 Alligator, and ordered Kamov to make it autocannon-resistant. The Bear is a massive airborne tank, designed to soak up the punishment ground units can throw at it and punish the ground units for it at the same time. 1 AIRCRAFT

Main Armament[]

Ka-75s have a sophisticated E/O and IR suite to find, track and target objects. A small Radar array is mounted above the Passive Detection suite to provide coverage of airborne threats in front of the gunship.

GSh-30-1[]

The Bear has a chin-mounted turret which contains a GSh-30-1 autocannon and its targeting system. 480 30mm AP and HE rounds are stored behind the cannon.

Kornet ATGM[]

In addition, the Bear mounts two pods of four Kornet ATGMs...

S-17 120mm Rocket[]

...and two pods of S-17 120mm rockets, for a total of 60.

Kord HMG[]

The Bear mounts two fully-automated Kord HMG pods that can independently pivot and rotate to shoot at and kill infantry trying to fire RPGs at the gunship.

Upgrades[]

A) Pusher rotor To provide additional speed, some engine power is channeled to the rear of the gunship, powering a pusher propeller. This increases flight speed by 15%, but increases its Radar Cross Section as well as its noise signature. B) R-75 SRAAM Instead of mounting two Kord HMG pods, the Bear can now mount R-75 Short Range Air-to-Air Missiles to take care of enemy aircraft. Pesky Ligers with their infamous Joint Strike Missiles and ZS-110s with their Katana AAMs can now be kept at bay.

Armor[]

The Ka-75, like its ground-based cousin, the T-120, is armored in RYCRYS composite armor. This provides the Ka-75 with impressive resistance to autocannon fire, at the best to the 40mm APFSDS caliber, at the worst 20mm. The Bear also has an ECM suite to jam enemy missiles in the radar, laser and IR bands. Chaff and Flares are standard.

Powerplant[]

The Bear is built like its ancestor, the Alligator. It features a double gas turbine engine and two counter-rotating sets of helicopter blades. This combination allows the Bear to lit itself and its armament into the air, fly at a maximum of 200mph, or cruise at 100mph for the next four hours.
