RAH‑81 Silent Striker | Modern Attack Helicopter | 1250 bricks

History

In the late 1970s, after the active use of light reconnaissance aircraft in Vietnam, the US Army command concluded that the future belonged to multi‑purpose reconnaissance and strike vehicles with stealth elements. By the early 80s, the XRH (Xperimental Reconnaissance Helicopter) program was formed, within which the XH‑81 project was born.

The initial goal is to replace the aging OH—58 Kiowa and reduce reliance on the AH‑64 Apache as "eyes and ears" on the battlefield. A vehicle was needed that could conduct covert reconnaissance, provide guidance for precision weapons, escort convoys and, if necessary, launch covert strikes where the enemy was not expecting.

The RAH‑81 was designed according to a classic single-rotor design with an impeller as a tail rotor. Features: stealth design, internal bomb racks and retractable landing gear.

Although the RAH‑81 Silent Striker was not put into service, it became an "advanced experiment" ahead of its time: stealth, internal weapons compartments, and even an ejection crew system — all this later "surfaced" in the concepts of future helicopters and vehicles of the near future.

** The helicopter is based on the SAH-46 Chicane from the Nuclear option game
