Two new aircraft are unveiled and prepared to enter service: the Sikorsky UH-60S Silent Hawk and the Bell/Boeing V-22C Osprey.

The UH-60S is derived from the secret stealth Black Hawks used by SEAL Team 6 in the raid on Osama bin Laden's complex in 2011. The Silent Hawk was originally designed for usage by Centurion fireteams and covert ops forces, but are planned to be used by other branches of the military as well. It is expected to replace a large number of Black Hawks currently in service.

The V-22C is a modified variant of the Osprey production line, using rotating jet engines rather than tiltrotor props. The Navy also plans to use V-22Cs onboard aircraft carriers along with the A-10D Thunderbolt II. A gunship variant of the V-22C is currently under development for the Air Force, going by the name AV-22D Vulture.

OOC: I tried making these IG back in December, but they looked ugly to the point of hurling. Might try it again unless you guys (Proud, Marc, Kevin, Zumwalt, Greg, and Smith) like the ones I just posted, then we'll keep them.
