Our Fleet
Due to the major role the National Police Air Service has within the Altis Police Service an major fleet would be expected, listed below is the entire fleet of NPAS.
| Name | Image | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| I-99 |  |
This is our Hellcat (Codename India-99). This helicopter is used for surveillance, with a 35x zoom and Thermal Imaging Camera,no one has the ability to hide; Used for missing persons, vehicular pursuits and general air support.this helicopter is a great asset to the Altis Police Force. We have three Hellcats in NPAS. |
| WA-99 |  |
A more nimble aircraft, the (Whiskey Alpha 900) is the go to choice for getting to positions quickly. E.g. Rapid response is needed at the heroin field to apprehend 2 suspects and bring them back for questioning. Also can be used for smaller surveillance operations as well. We have three M-900s. |
| AR-2 DARTER |  |
With a similar thermal imaging camera to (I-99) this quadcopter is a force to be reckoned with. While this drone is a great machine it is also very weak so it must stay out of sight at all times. |
| MH-9 |  |
(Mike Hotel-9) is only used for insertion and extraction. E.g. Troops need placed near a treasury robbery in progress. The two benches have four more seats than the M-900, and is also easier to maneuver than the M-900. We have three MH-9s in NPAS. |
| Taru Transport |  |
The Mi-290 Taru is a heavy utility helicopter with coaxial rotors and a unique modular construction. Various mission pods allow the Taru to serve many different roles. It can transport cargo, and police. We have three taru’s, One bench, one transport and one sling variant.
Taru with a transport pod offers more protection for crew, but sacrifices utility in way that only men at back at the pod can shoot out from helicopter. |
| Taru Bench |  |
The Mi-290 Taru is a heavy utility helicopter with coaxial rotors and a unique modular construction. Various mission pods allow the Taru to serve many different roles. It can transport cargo, and police. We have three taru’s, One bench, one transport and one sling variant.
Taru with a bench pod offers less protection than Transport, but gives more utility for the crew. Everyone on the bench can shoot out from the helicopter thus giving really good way to shoot tires on moving vehicles. |
| Taru Sling |  |
The Mi-290 Taru is a heavy utility helicopter with coaxial rotors and a unique modular construction. Various mission pods allow the Taru to serve many different roles. It can transport cargo, and police. We have three Taru’s, One bench, one transport and one sling variant.
Taru with a sling provides protection to the crew while being able to sling every police vehicle available. However, this sacrifices any form of infantry transport. |
| Ghosthawk |  |
This is the GhostHawk. It’s classed as a Utility response helicopter It is equipped with 2x 6.5 gatling guns mounted on each side of the helicopter. Originally the GhostHawk was designed for Air to Ground attacks but used in NPAS for Air to Air. We have one GhostHawk. |
| Blackfish |  |
This is our Blackfish. The Blackfish is only used in operations or coalition with specialized units. The main use would be the transport of units or vehicles due to its unique ability to para-drop large numbers of infantry or heavy vehicles. The Blackfish is also armed with a 35x zoom thermal camera operated by the co-pilot. |
