Crew: 2-3; Pass: 8; Cargo: 4,400 lb.; Init: –4; Man: –4; Speed: 360 (36); Def: 6; Hard: 7; hp 52; Size: G; Purchase DC: 44; Res: Res (+2)

A multirole attack/transport helicopter used by the Soviet Union, this aircraft has been manufactured in huge numbers since the 1970s and is in service with over 50 nations. Numerous variants have been adopted by state militaries and mercenaries worldwide.

Based on the Mi-8 “HIP” fuselage, though more heavily armored, model Ds incorporate a tandem cockpit with a “double-bubble” canopy. Standard armament includes the Yak-B 12.7mm gatling gun and a 55mm missile pod. It is two squares wide and ten squares long. It provides three-quarters cover for its crew, and nine-tenths cover for its passengers.

CLONE TRAITS

As clones of Big Boss, the Twin Snakes inherited physical and mental traits nearly identical to that of the original (Str 14, Dex 15, Con 17, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 12). The fact that Solid Snake inherited Big Boss’s recessive genes translated into a slightly regressed phenotype, while Liquid Snake inherited the dominant traits. Clones of Big Boss are susceptible to certain autosomal recessive conditions, such as Werner syndrome, or premature aging. (For more, see Future, p.91-2.)
