Unofficial

The Jade Mercenaries are a gang in Grand Theft Auto Online. Despite not being the most powerful PMC in Los Santos, they are still completely able to defend themselves from threats, such as the LSPD. Their services are available to the player once they purchase a P-45 Nokota.

Role in GTA Online
Towards the end of World War II, multiple squadrons from the RAF, U.S. Army Air Services, and multiple other air forces from the allied powers banded together to form the Jade Mercenaries.

Once the player has bought a P-45 Nokota, they are available to be hired. If one cannot afford the powerful services the 666th Allied Axis division offers, the Jade Mercenaries are a viable economic alternative, providing good service for half of the price, at the price of having less advanced technology, resorting to having the Half-track as their heaviest ground vehicle, and the Valkyrie as their main attack helicopter, as well as having a fleet of outdated V-65 "Molotok" and Pyro fighters as their main dogfighters

The Jade Mercenaries usual attire consists of World War II American uniforms, and their main rifle is the Gusenberg Sweeper and the Assault Rifle. Upon being fired on, the Jades will pursue the GTA Online protagonist all throughout Los Santos, until they kill the protagonist, and will not provide any of their services for 48 ingame hours.

Like the 666th, it is completely possible to defeat the Jades, granted the player has the assistance of four other players with fully upgraded weaponized vehicles and aircraft.

Divisions
There are multiple divisions within the Jade Mercenaries, mainly consisting of an air force, a miniscule naval force, and a small ground force.

The first division is the Air Force. The Air force flies P-45 Nokota fighter bombers as attackers, as well as secondary fighters. They fly V-65 Molotoks as interceptors, and fly Pyro and LF-22 "Starling" fighters as their main dogfighters. Their bomber wing consists of forty seven squadrons of twenty RM-10 Bombushka transport bombers, as well as Mogul and Tula bombers. The air force consists of over 7,000 aircraft.

The second division the Jades operate is their naval force, which only consists of Launch boats. There are about 3,000 boats in the naval force.

Last is the ground force. The heaviest armored vehicle the Jades operate is the Half Track, with four autocannons. Most of the time, they are towing anti-aircraft trailers with either four Browning MGs, or two Autocannons. They also drive Technicals, and DShK armed Bodhis, and Kalaharis for transport.
