Helicopters

Military helicopters are exceptionally versatile aircraft designed for vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, and low-altitude flight, allowing them to operate in areas where traditional airplanes cannot. They are broadly categorized based on their specific combat and support missions.

Attack helicopters, such as the AH-64 Apache, are heavily armed with missiles, rockets, and cannons to provide direct fire support for ground troops and engage enemy armor. Meanwhile, utility and transport helicopters, like the UH-60 Black Hawk or CH-47 Chinook, are built to rapidly move troops, equipment, and supplies into combat zones, alongside specialized roles like medical evacuation and maritime operations.
