The NTA AH-20 (IRC reporting name: Enigma) is a large attack helicopter.
It is produced by NirvashTec Aviation Plant and has been operated since 1985 by the Berusian Luftwaffe and the Aurelian Air Force.

In IRC circles, the export versions, AH-20B is denoted with a letter suffix as "Enigma B" and sometimes, "Hurricane B".
Finnish pilots called the AH-20 the "Hurricane" (Pyorremyrsky).
More common unofficial nicknames were "Blue Devil" due to the helicopter's camouflage scheme and "Shinigami" (Death), because of the extreme firepower of the AH-20
