The Vanagan-Berj HH1 Halászsas is a double-seat Ruvelkan helicopter gunship and low-capacity troop transport for eight passengers. Development of the Halászsas began in the mid-1960s and was intended to serve as a special operations armed transport enabling Ruvelka’s mobile infantry to deploy rapidly to anywhere within the country. After extensive testing, it achieved operational readiness and was introduced into the Ruvelkan Military in 1972. It has since become a staple of Ruvelka’s military doctrine having been adopted in some form by all branches.
