It carried a variety of weapons, ammunition, and vehicles, including excavators, bulldozers, trucks, and boats. In addition to carrying combat equipment, the CH-54A was also used as a carrier for the M-121 super-heavy bomb. Such bombs were dropped in order to quickly clear the forest under the helipad. This allowed for a shorter landing time and a more flexible response to a tactical situation. For these tasks, the M-121 was partially upgraded; the rear hull and tail stabilizers were removed, and a special parachute was added to slow its fall. The bombs were also equipped with an elongated nose detonator to provide a blast height of about 3 feet off the ground. These upgraded bombs were used until they were out of stock, the last being used on August 8, 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48380335161575,"sku":"ICM53055IH","price":212.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7798\/9095\/files\/135-icm-sikorsky-ch-54a-tarhe-with-m-121-bomb-53055-mpm-hobbies-1.jpg?v=1750818910"},{"product_id":"1-35-trumpeter-ah-64a-apache-late-plastic-model-kit","title":"1\/35 Trumpeter AH-64A Apache Late Plastic Model Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e1\/35 Trumpeter AH-64A Apache Late Plastic Model Kit\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51409168105703,"sku":"TRP5115IH","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7798\/9095\/files\/trp5115-135-trumpeter-ah-64a-apache-late-preorder-squadron-model-models__38104.1737379883.jpg?v=1759973069"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7798\/9095\/collections\/1-35-scale-model-aircraft-collection_9ae69e2c-bdcf-4092-aac5-5ec9ea7121f8.png?v=1772915844","url":"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/collections\/1-35-scale-model-aircraft-copy.oembed","provider":"MPM Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
