The Vanagan-Berj ARH6-H is a Ruvelkan heavy transport helicopter. It is the largest and most powerful helicopter in the Ruvelkan arsenal and is operated by the Imperial Air Force. The development of the ARH6-H was started as a result of Ruvelka’s mountainous terrain; the Ruvelkan Armed Forces requested a heavy-lift vehicle capable of carrying vehicles and artillery to areas Imperial Army transports could not navigate. The ARH6-H entered service under the Imperial Air Force in 1983; although production of the ARH6-H continues, due to its size and cost, it is only constructed under special order.
