The Urga Postolka is an attack helicopter in Just Cause 3.
Description[]
It's a relatively small 4-door helicopter. The Postolka mostly resembles the real life HAL Dhruv, and to an extent, the Eurocopter UH-72 Lakota. Despite much of it being based on newer designs, its utilitarian abundance of metal parts and exposed wiring give the appearance of a functional piece of military hardware instead of a turn-of-the-century European helicopter, and its rough all-metal bodywork may indicate it precedes its inspirations to a certain age.
As with all of their aircraft, Medici Military versions are given randomized markings chosen between MAF07, MAF12, MAF22, MAF26, MAF43, MAF57 and MAF83.
Per its Rebel drop description, "This light assault helicopter is equally equipped to handle patrol detail, base sieges, or air-to-air firefights. It comes equipped with the Janus-45S minigun."
Performance[]
As a light patrol helicopter, the Postolka is an ideal vehicle for fast engagements and travelling through buildings, since it is smaller than most helicopters. The miniguns are excellent for taking out small groups of enemies or lightly armored vehicles such the Urga Ogar 7 V8s or Weimaraners. This can be useful when having trouble during basic tasks, such searching for collectibles or cruising around Medici. However the machine guns appear to be weaker than the Urga Vulkan, which is strange considering they are mounted and are not needed to manually be aimed.
The Postolka, however, is a bad choice for large engagements, as its light armor cannot sustain a lot of damage, as a single round from a tank or a helicopter's rocket can damage it severely. The Capstone FH155s and the SAM turrets can also be destructive against aerial targets, so the Postolka will be likely taken down before doing something to these turrets (unless the SAM turret is hacked or you successfully avoid their missiles).
If you pilot a Postolka, it's preferable to stay along with your allies and defend them from any Medici Military soldiers, or keep your distance from armored vehicles (mainly tanks). Against a Postolka, using heavy weapons, the grappling hook or GE-64 can sort them out quickly, as they can be potentially dangerous for Rico if he is not dodging it or when inside a vehicle with enough protection.
Locations[]
Medici Military[]
- At many Military bases in Medici:
- Vigilator Nord.
- Porto Vena.
- Vulture.
- Porto Coclea.
- Vis Electra.
- At various helipads in Rocca Blau. Always spawns in military colours though may be replaced by various other helicopters.
- Elsewhere.
- Appears at heat levels 3-5 except north of the wall. Due to a patch, the game made the CS Navajo more common than this helicopter at heat 3-4, however they made this helicopter spawn commonly alongside a CS Navajo at heat 5.
- One always spawns in a warehouse at N 40 44.915 E 5 42.240.
- Two of them attack the Unnamed outpost at N 40 47.840 E 5 46.790, if the player spends enough time there.
The Rebellion[]
- At the same above Military bases in Medici, after they're liberated.
- Unlocked for Rebel drop after liberating Vis Electra.
- Two will spawn from the beginning of the game at Cava de Rebelles, in the Soros province.
- One at Refugio Umbra.
- Most oil rigs, especially in Insula Dracon and southern Insula Striate.
- Various helicopter outposts. Has the chance to be replaced by any military helicopter besides the Mstitel.
- During the smugglers run Random Encounter.
Black Hand[]
This variant only exists in the Mech Land Assault and Bavarium Sea Heist expansion packs.
- Appears to attack Rico at all heat levels.
- Scripted to spawn during the liberation of the following settlements on Lacrima:
- Can be found patrolling oppressed Stingray Area "satellite stations" and dry docks. Note that CS Navajos can spawn instead.
- Appears to chase Rico at all heat levels in the Stingray Area. CS Navajos can spawn either with it or instead of it.
- At the unnamed Black Hand airport. These are not usable by the player.
- In Mech Arena challenges.
Trivia[]
- This vehicle is the successor to the UH-10 Chippewa from Just Cause 2, as they are similar in appearance and armament. Likewise, the Firebrand Scout Chopper is the successor to this vehicle in Just Cause 4 by armament, but the design is completely different from previous games.
- It's made by the Urga company.
- "Poštolka" is Czech for "Kestrel".
- There are rear doors that can be destroyed with a rocket impact.
- There is a texture glitch on the Postolka's rotor head, where its metallic textures appear to be moving.
- It has 2 usable seats in the back which are never seen used or mentioned in normal gameplay and missions. If the heat is modified to make the helicopter spawn with 3 passengers (1 co-pilot, two passengers), only 2 passengers will spawn in. Passengers in the helicopter will never fire their weapons at their enemies unlike the CS Comet. The helicopter will also not land to deploy troops on the ground unlike Just Cause 4.
- There's an unused unarmed Rebel variant in the Bavarium Sea Heist files. See the gallery below and Cut game content from Just Cause 3.
