The Urga Hrom D is a helicopter in Just Cause 3.

Appearance

It takes its cockpit design from the Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion, with the rear portion and main rotor being taken from the Mil Mi-24. The engine exhaust resembles the Mil Mi-28. In the Just Cause Game Series, it's the successor to the Jackson JC - 2 Alamo.

The rebel drop description states, "The Urga Hrom D is pure mayhem with a rotor on top. With the Janus-88M-Minigun and 95 Volcanus missile pre-loaded, it can make whole bases disappear in seconds."

While the description is a bit exaggerated, this helicopter is still quite powerful.

As revealed in a thread, this helicopter for some odd reason has symbols resembling infinity symbols "∞". It's not known why they are there, especially since they seem to have no significant value, other than a possible easter egg.

Performance

This vehicle is noticeably stronger compared to other helicopters in terms of armor. It can even survive a direct hit from a tank cannon round (although barely). After taking damage equal to one "standard" explosion, it is advised to jump out of the helicopter as soon as possible, as it will spin out of control, catch on fire and eventually blow up. Continuous gunfire will also bring it down, but note that this may take a while.

The missiles are pretty powerful as they are capable of destroying a CS Odjur with a few direct hits. The miniguns are great against infantry and unarmored targets, but they're very inefficient at destroying armored targets.

It is capable of lifting the Citispeed Eco 75 and, with the right tether mods, the only helicopter that can lift the Squalo X7. It is well armed with rockets and miniguns. In terms of lifting capacity, it is the strongest helicopter. The helicopter is not as fast as a CS Navajo, Eubus Eagle, or Urga Postolka, but this is compensated by being very durable. It can rival the Urga Mstitel in terms of combat in the hands of a skilled player, but the Urga Mstitel has the Bavarium shield and better agility making it the best helicopter in the game so far.

Locations

Medici Military

• At Military bases in Medici.
  • One is at a helipad at the gated checkpoint closest to the military airbase Griphon on the large wall which divides Insula Striate. This disappears once the province is liberated.
  • One spawns protecting Guardia Feno II.
• One always spawns in a ruined industrial building at N 40 48.290 E 5 32.875.
• At some ruins on the Unnamed mountain at N 40 46.400 E 5 46.700. Like the one above, this one spawns there all the time.
• Could spawn instead of the Urga Mstitel at Platteforma Litore Torto I and Platteforma Litore Torto II.
• Several base commanders use these to attack Rico.
  • Espia Alta.
  • Le Tutor.
  • Porto Vena.
• Several of these show up as military reinforcements at Military bases in Medici.
  • Porto Cavo.
  • Puncta Sud.
  • Espia Bassa.
  • Vigilator Sud
• Several guard mines and regional central commands.
  • Corda Dracon: Centcom (called as reinforcements).
  • Falco Maxime: Centcom (only 1 spawns).
• One has to be destroyed in The Watcher on The Wall.

The Rebellion

• The Rebellion uses them to support Rico's takeovers of some bases, including
  • Vigilator Nord.
  • Porto Tridente.
• Provided by The Agency during Connect the Dots.
• Unlocked for rebel drop after liberating the Porto Coclea base in the Val de Mar province.
• Can be found patrolling quarries in the Insula Striate region and Falco Maxime: Centcom.
• There is a parked one during The Watcher on The Wall, although it does not spawn there before or after the mission.
• Usually spawns at Platteforma Litore Torto I and Platteforma Litore Torto II after liberation, though there is a chance it might not.

Trivia

• It's made by the fictional company Urga.
• "Hrom" is Czech for "Thunder", or Russian for "Chrome".
  • Alternatively, the naming of "Hrom D" might be based on the "Hind D", the NATO reporting name for the Mil Mi-24 Soviet/Russian attack helicopter (which the only one mostly based on it in the Just Cause series is the Walker AH-16 Hammerbolt).
• The promotional artwork version seems even wider and has large external fuel tanks on the sides. This one lacks color, suggesting it was in development before being changed into a simple design. Apparently, it would be Cut game content from Just Cause 3.
• The Urga Hrom D used by Zeno is actually piloted by the Medici Military and he is just a passenger (observable if you destroy it then grapple quickly to check the cockpit), even though Zeno actually knows how to fly one, as seen in Turncoat. Since this one wasn't at the site initially, it can be assumed Di Ravello sent a pilot to pick him up.
  • This is the only time a Urga Hrom D will have a passenger.
• The Urga Hrom D also has a compartment for soldiers in the back, which is never used or even mentioned for some reason. It could probably hold 12 or more soldiers in the back. This could be some kind of cut game content from Just Cause 3.
• A bavarium-shielded Urga Hrom D is used as an unobtainable placeholder for Di Ravello's Urga Mstitel, named "boss_heli_prototype" in the game files.
• Also a unarmed variant exist in game files
• This and the Urga Postolka are the only helicopters where the machine guns can stun/stagger Rico.

Another view of the beta version.

The Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion is one of the helicopters the Urga Hrom D closely resembles, especially in beta form. The variant pictured is the U.S. Navy variant.

Wingsuiting into the side of the helicopter can get the player stuck and killed pretty much instantly. Notice that there are several unused seats.

Same thing has occurred here. This time, however, with a clearer image and better angle.
