================================================================================================
Overview:
    When the Metal Ants Regiment stationed on Abagnar called for a very fast helicopter to
    rescue downed or bailed mech or aerospace pilots, Yan Manufacturing of New Samarkand (mostly
    known for civil or paramilitary VTOLs) answered with a 5 ton powerpack: The Last Hope Pilot
    Recovery Helicopter.

Capabilities:
    The Last Hope Helis main feature is speed. Equipped with an 75-rated XL fusion engine it
    delivers a top speed of more than 410 km/h while hugging the ground. For emergency use a jet
    booster propells it to more than 540 km/h.
    A half ton infantry compartment is big enough to accomodete up to 5 persons. It is commonly
    occupied by 2 crew members to aid the rescued pilots and can hold up to 3 more patients.
    A manipulatior assists with the rescue and a set of paramedic equipment can stabilize
    critically injured patients.
    The helicopter is designed with a flotation hull to be able to land on water.
    Normally painted in white with a red cross they are off limits for enemy units but are very
    vulnerable while picking up persons.
    If the enemy ignores their status the choppers carry only minimal armor so their only real
    defense is speed.

Deployment:
    The Metal Ants Regiment bought four Last Hope Helis.
    Overall sales are trickling.

Variants:
    A variant drops the manipulator for a second set of paramedical equpment.
