The Kormos HH2 Sólyom is a single-seat Ruvelkan all-weather, day-night, attack helicopter utilizing a coaxial rotor system. Designed in the 1980s, the Sólyom was adopted by the Ruvelkan Imperial Air Force in 1992 as a dedicated attack helicopter to support the larger and less-maneuverable HH1 gunships. The Sólyom served extensively during the Zemplen War with the RIAF's Special Air Service. It was the primary tool Ruvelka utilized for night-raiding Syaran armor and supply trains, earning it the nickname Phantom by Syaran forces.
