Lore

Generals in the militaries decided it was time for a new drone. A fresh one, one that was original. The nation came together to make this. A military drone with multiple variants. All four variants include the ground attack, reconnaissance, and anti-air.
The TWR of this thing soars and performs much better than the MQ and RQ series of drones. Denser, more potent SAF guarantees a longer range with less fuel. Without afterburners and thrust vectoring the fuel economy soars. Refined aerodynamics take part in this. The sheer range and firepower makes it a feared drone. In 2006 it first saw combat in Afghanistan and incurred massive damage. However it does come at a price. It uses about as much money per flight hour as the F-16. The huge air intakes allowed for a bigger amount of thrust. FIFM flares were used as well. It’s still in use today in Ukraine.
