What is an Akula?
The Buckingham Akula is a weaponized helicopter introduced in The Doomsday Heist update. Rockstar documents its homing-missile and turret modifications.
This is a separate vehicle from the Avenger. Current stealth controls, cargo visibility and purchase/upgrade costs still need a complete source review in this library.
