Historical and technical description:

The CH-53 Sea Stallion and its advanced MH-53 version are among the heaviest transport helicopters developed for the United States Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force. Entering service in the late 1960s, they were widely used during the Vietnam War, numerous peacekeeping and rescue missions, as well as in modern military operations in Europe and the Middle East up to the present day. The in-flight refueling system enabled an increased operational range for these helicopters, becoming a key element of their equipment.
