In 2024, the Russian Army built several A-100 radar aircraft. The planes were made on the basis of the IL-76. But these planes were too heavy and expensive. Therefore, the Russian Aerospace Forces ordered a new light aircraft from the L.K. Corporation. The plane should be cheap and light. But most importantly, the new aircraft had to be for the aircraft carrier. L.K. Corp. developed an aircraft that could take off from an aircraft carrier and from a conventional airfield and, most importantly, from the ground. The AWACS installation was made folding, as were the wings. Two very powerful propeller engines and a very aerodynamic fuselage allowed the aircraft to accelerate 620+ km per hour.The practical ceiling is 10,000 meters. Max weight- 30562 kg. Engines- 2×9000 h.p.
