The modern, ultimate incarnation of the classic Bell Huey / Iroquois troop-ferrying helicopter of the Vietnam War, the UH-1Y Venom is a further development of the popular UH-1N Twin Huey and sees the USMC as its primary operator. Performance and over-battlefield capabilities are both enhanced as this new twin is set to take on the world stage for the next several decades. The Marine endorsement has led to a deal with Czech Armed Forces who also operate the type.
