HK-Aerial
From Terminator Wiki
HK-Aerials can be brought down by shoulder fired surface to air missiles. [2]

Variants
The HK-Aerial has been deployed in many configurations by both Skynet and the Soviet Artificial Intelligence MIR. There are light raiders seen patrolling the watelands of the Future War[3][4], massive and heavily armed ground support craft[5], as well as troop transport variants [6] which on occasion have been captured and subverted for use by the Resistance [7][8]. Continually engineering upgrades to the original design, a smaller, more agile air unit is available in a sleeker, more organic design with the HK-VTOL, [9] a unit powerful enough to carry a Boeing 747 jet engine in a cargo sling.
Notes
- The HK was the very first Skynet unit seen, appearing in the opening moments of the first film of the series.
- The HK was redesigned for both Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator Salvation, which may indicate that over the course of the future war, the HK aerial went through various phases of upgradement.
- In Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles the HK-Aerial appears to have been developed from a type of drone aircraft built using reverse-engineered future technology.
