Many thanks for Redstar45's Mi-24V.

Protects the land of Mother Russia!

After the Americans started their AH-56 Cheyenne project, The Mil Design Bureau decided to make a new gunship with payloads similar to the SU-25, but still the crew compartment remains. To achieve similar speed as the Cheyenne, the Sickle has two forward-mounted turbojet engines that can push the helicopter to over 400km/h

So it's still a flying BMP(maybe a BMPT?)

VTOL to start engines, Throttle to change collective
Trim to control forward engines

Group 1 and Group 3 are the main cannons and wing-mounted cannons

The concept is from the twinblade from RA3, but I intended to make it more RA2-like
