What happens when you mix Alarm für Cobra 11 with Viper? This tv series happens. A high-tech helicopter with rockets, stealth-mode and other cool stuff is used by a special task force of Berlin police to fight against criminals.
Note: This TV series uses CGI several times. Aircraft portrayed in this production may not be entirely accurate or represent an actual aircraft, however, where a reasonable depiction of an actual aircraft has been created, it has been identified as best as possible and is noted as CGI.
