1,911 Tribaldragon1  5.7 years ago

The Ba 393 Gepard (English: Cheetah) was a supersonic interceptor craft developed in 1953. It is considered the earliest example of second generation jet fighter design. Its high speed led to widespread use in nuclear-detterent intercept missions, but it was commonly used in anti-fighter roles as well.
