The Boeing MH-47E Chinook is a very powerful helicopter for special operations, developed from the previous models. It was used for the first time in 1994 by US Army 160 ten Special Air Operations Regiment at Fort Campbell. Thanks to its larger fuel tanks and in-flight refuelling capability, in practice this helicopter has an almost unlimited range for night and day missions deep in enemy territory. In addition Miniguns, sensors, advanced avionics and terrain following radar are ideal equipment for this outstanding combat helicopter, which can also serve as a search and rescue helicopter. The RAF has 8 similar helicopters designated HC.3 which are also used by special operations forces.
