HESA Sayyid "سید"

The DDF* presents the TRC-savaş tiltrotor military aircraft!
Entered the market in 1984, this aircraft has become one of the best STOLs of the DDF.
With a vertical takeoff and a short landing,
this aircraft is capable of many missions:
landing soldiers on the battlefield, carrying ammunition/ airdrops, and being good support from the sky due to machine guns along the perimeter of the plane

MIH-56 “Koala”

The Year is 1975 and the Shintokian Military needs a new attack helicopter for their army to continue being relevant against the SRPR's AF and other political rivals during the arms race.The government starts a procurement plan, Several Companies Jumped on the opportunity due to the size of the order notably:Shenjo Industries,Yamtsuri Industries,Subimara Industries and Midochi Industries the former won the procurement plan with a promise of a robust and reliable platform and delivered in 1985 with the MIH-56’s first flight.The helicopter quickly earned the nickname Koala from the soldiers due to it’s slightly clumsy look from the front and the placement of the lights.The helicopter became quickly the backbone of the Shintokian Helicopter wings and was even exported into a number of nations and organisations which include(Al-Jazzer,Rep.Hebez,I.D.U and many others*).Other than the Shintokian Military divisions,The helicopter was also adopted by the Shintokian Special forces and unsuccessfully by the Shintokian Royal Gendarmerie after a civilian push back for the police force to acquire military equipment.

MIH-56 “Super Koala”

During the late 80s and early 90s The Shintokian Navy had the issue of the engines quickly becoming rusted and having a lot more reliability issues than the other Shintokian Military divisions,so it was decided to outfit the MIH-56 with extra filters to prevent the highly mineralised air entering the turbines,promptly named by the soldiers “cheese graters” due to their similarity with the common house object.the exhaust was pointed upwards to dissipate the heat and reduce the MIH-56’s heat signature.Other less visible updates were slightly improved cockpit ergonomics,electric software updates and avionics improvements.

Not the best looking entry here or even an average one really, I know, but she's my first time trying to draw something in FD scale and I'm at least fairly happy with how she turned out. I might revisit her later when I have more experience, but for now, I present the result of an underfunded navy trying to make a ground attack X-wing out of an ASW/General purpose one, the AV-55A2 Hachidori Attack Rotorwing:
