       Cheyenne Dropship
       It acts as a gunship by using its own internal gun and deploying
       weapon pods and hardpoints for rockets and missiles. The
       principle airframe is constructed from superplastic-formed
       diffusion-bonded metal matrix composites (MMC) and its 103.6
       cubic meter internal payload bay can easily fit a M577 A.P.C.
       (turret stowed). The engines can produce exceptionally high
       thrust for low specific fuel consumption. The UD4L Dropship is
       also called a "Cheyenne." It has AN/ALQ-2004E defensive systems
       to keep it well protected. It has two types of power plants to
       allow vertical take-off capability (VTOL) hover to the
       hypersonic trans-atmospheric.
       Crew: Pilot and Chief/Weapons Officer
       Engines: 2 Republic Dynamics TF-900 turbines each rated at 310
       kN dry thrust and 2 TF-220/A-14 combined cycle engines.

       Anti-submarine plane
       TU-142
       Tu-142M
       The Tu-142M is a long-range anti-submarine / reconnaissance
       aircraft designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau and manufactured
       by the Kuibyshev Aviation and Taganrog Machinery plants. The
       aircraft is developed to provide improved naval combat
       capabilities. It can be deployed primarily in anti-submarine
       warfare (ASW) operations, maritime reconnaissance and low-range
       patrol runs.
       The aircraft is equipped with a set of anti-submarine weapons to
       protect territorial waters from potential enemy submarines. The
       aircraft have been in service with the Indian Navy's 312nd
       squadron (INAS 312) since 1988 and are deployed in
       anti-submarine warfare and patrol missions across the Indian
       Ocean.
       Tu-142M orders and deliveries
       Tupolev Design Bureau received an executive order to design and
       develop the Tu-142 aircraft, which is based on the long-range
       Tu-95 turboprop strategic bomber. The prototype aircraft was
       built at Kuibyshev Aviation Plant and made its first flight in
       June 1968. The first aircraft entered trail operation with the
       Soviet Naval Aviation in May 1970 and was officially
       commissioned into service in December 1972.
       "The aircraft is equipped with a set of anti-submarine weapons
       to protect territorial waters from potential enemy submarines."
       The first modernised Tu-142M aircraft equipped with advanced
       avionics performed its maiden flight in 1985. Eight Tu-142Ms
       (IN-311 to IN-318) in export version (Tu-142ME) were built
       between 1987 and 1988 at the Taganrog Aviation Plant (now TAVIA)
       for the Indian Navy. The aircraft were commissioned in 1988.
       In 2006 and 2007, two of the Tu-142M aircraft operated by the
       Indian Navy were upgraded by TAVIA, a division of Beriev
       Aircraft Company. Two more aircraft were retrofitted in July
       2010.
       The Indian Navy received seventh modernised Tu-142ME (IN 317)
       aircraft in August 2014.
       Tu-142M design and features
       The Tu-142M anti-submarine aircraft features monoplane, mid-wing
       design. It is fitted with a single-fin tail and tricycle landing
       gear with controlled front wheels. It features a monocoque
       fuselage, which has a length of 46.4m and a maximum diameter of
       2.9m.
       The fuselage incorporates a set of longitudinal stringers,
       cross-set of frames with stressed skin. Two cargo compartments
       are located at the lower part of the fuselage. The tail section
       is fitted with a rear cannon mounting. The nose cone section is
       installed with an in-flight refuelling system. A hatch is
       located in the niche of the front leg to facilitate emergency
       access.
       The aircraft is roughly 49.5m in overall length, 12.12m high and
       has wing span of approximately 50m. It has a maximum takeoff
       weight of 185,000kg and is operated by a crew of 11, including
       flight crew and navigators / observers.
       The aircraft is armed with a variety of defensive weapons such
       as Kh-35 anti-ship missile, self-guided missiles, twin AM-23
       automatic cannon, depth charges and torpedoes.
       Sensors on-board Tu-142M
       The Tu-142M anti-submarine aircraft is equipped with DRDO HOMI
       airborne electronic support measures system to identify, locate
       and detect enemy targets. It incorporates Korshun-K integrated
       automatic search and targeting system and MMS-106 Ladoga
       magnetometer to detect nuclear-powered submarines.
       The aircraft is also fitted with a Strela onboard communication
       system, a NPK-142M navigation system, a Sayany onboard defence
       system and a Nerchinsk hydrological defence system. The
       sonobuoys incorporated in the aircraft include RGB-15, RGB-25
       and RGB-55A.
       Engines and performance
       The Tu-142M anti-submarine aircraft is powered by four NK-12M
       turboprop engines designed by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. Each
       engine develops a power output of 15,000shp. The propulsion
       system also consists of four coaxial eight-bladed
       reversible-pitch propellers. The aircraft has a fuel capacity of
       87,000kg.
       The operational speed of the aircraft is 442mph, while the
       maximum speed is 574.76mph at high altitudes. The operating
       range of 3,977mi and the maximum range is 7,953.55mi. The
       service ceiling of the aircraft is 39,000ft.
       The plane also has a MAD detector under the nose, with a seven
       meter boom. The payloads of this aircraft can include sonobuoys,
       torpedoes, depth charges, anti ship missiles, and drop bombs
       with a payload of 20,000 pounds.
