Time to a new high effort plane!

Export variant, without multiple Marks.

Project history:

This plane belongs to a reality where the cold war never ended, and with an absurd risk of nuclear war. already understand that? Ok, lets go:

Designs for this plane began in 2026 as just a super-versatile aircraft concept, that is, an aircraft that could operate as an air superiority fighter, a specialized interceptor and also a heavy ordinance Attacker.

The project was sent under a lot of coverage to the newly formed A.C.D.A.M (Portuguese acronym for "Military Aircraft Design and Construction Association"), with Escarti being responsible for the construction of the plane.
And after that, the project ended up being shelved, as the materials had to be very light for the construction of the plane. That changed with the discovery of a material dubbed "Utilarium", which, if mixed with glass, for example, caused it to withstand a temperature over 2500° degrees Celsius, and also made him stop shots with only 5mm thick armor. Also, it gives this greenish color to the glass.

The first Prototype flew in 2039, greatly impressing those who watched, mainly because of its stupidly high acceleration, as well as being much faster than competing planes. However, it also had a main problem, that being the fact that the plane had a very high landing speed, but that was practically the only problem.

After the landing speed issue was alleviated, production began in 2043, and was accepted for service in 2045.

Service

The combat debut of "Iratus" was in an attack in the Second Vietnam War, after a rebellion to try to restore the old government was started.
The attack was successful, but officials said it was not enough as the fighters used by North Vietnam were out of date.
Another attack, this time in Afghanistan, the plane was used against modern Soviet aircraft, and its acceleration proved decisive for victory against these fighters, as well as having successfully carried out ground attacks.

Since then, the plane has started to be massively exported, with the differences between the normal variant being:

The language of the texts was changed, the paint was removed and the engine was changed to a cheaper one.

Controls

normal airplane controls

AG1: Engines on/off (98% Throttle turns on afterburner)
AG2: Deploy refuel probe
AG3: Thrust vector
AG4: Airbrakes (On the VR, pull the trigger on the throttle to turn on it)
AG5: Activate the weapons

Red lever: Yaw
Green lever: Trim

Creator's Note

I put a lot of effort into this plane. it took me two months to make it the way I wanted it and I think this plane alone gave me a lot more construction skills.It probably also marks my transition from builds done in 1 or 2 days to high quality stuff (hopefully)

Hope you enjoy and have a nice day!
