[USA]




The CH-53E heavylift transport helicopter has been developed by Sikorsky. It has been adopted by US  Marine Corps in 1981. Since then the Super Stallion was the largest and most powerful helicopter outside Russia. Currently the Super Stallion is the largest and heaviest helicopter used by the US military. A total of 227 machines were built for the US Marine Corps and US Navy.
   The US Marines are using these helicopters to deliver troops, vehicles and supplies from ships to shore. The US Navy use a small number of these helicopters for shipboard resupply. Also the US Navy uses a dedicated minesweeping version.
   This helicopter can carry 37 troops. With centerline seats installed the Super Stallion can carry 55 soldiers. Alternatively it can carry cargo with a maximum weight of 13.6 t internally or 14.5 t externally. It is capable of lifting LAV-25 armored vehicleor M198 155-mm field howitzer with crew and ammunition. It can recover aircraft up to its own size.
   Recently a new CH-53K King Stallion helicopter was developed to meet requirements of the US Marine Corps. It has similar airframe, but notably improved performance. The CH-53K should reach initial operating capability in 2018.

Mill Mi 26 helicopter

           The Mil Mi-26 is the world's largest production helicopter. It is known in the West as the Halo. Currently this heavy-lift machine is in service with nearly 20 countries, including Russia and India.   Its development began in the early 1970s. Designers had a goal to produce a helicopter with a load capacity twice that of any contemporary machine. It became operational in 1983.   The Mi-26 has the load-carrying capability of a C-130 transport plane. Its cargo area, with the rear ramp closed, is 12 m long, and 3.2 m wide, with a minimum ceiling height of 2.9 m.   The interior can be configured to seat 80 combat-equipped troops or 60 stretchers. However there were cases when it flew with 150 troops. Alternatively this cargo helicopter can carry two combat vehicles weighting 10 000 kg each. The Mi-26 can also carry various loads externally.   Latest model, the Mi-26M can lift even more. It has a payload capacity of 25 000 kg.

F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter

  
    The F-22 Raptor air superiority fighter is almost invisible to radars. This aircraft carries a powerful array of weaponry. It is the most advanced and most expensive production fighter aircraft to date. Many of sensors and avionics of this plane remain classified.
   Engines of the raptor allow the aircraft to supercruise over long ranges, while thrust-vectoring nozzles, combined with a triplex fly-by-wire flight control system, make it exceptionally maneuverable.
   The F-22 started life as a straightforward air superiority fighter. However since its introduction this aircraft lacks a formidable air threat from other countries fighters. Later it evolved towards the multi-role fighter, as strike capability was added.
   This advanced aircraft was never offered for export customers, even other allies and NATO countries. Currently it is the best fighter aircraft ever built.
