The Anatoli Ant-53 (NATO reporting name: "Fletcher") is a Soviet fighter aircraft designed by the Anatoli design bureau and produced from 1974 to the very present day (export versions, domestic version production ended in 1985); this is the domestic variant. NATO spies noted similarities between the Ant-53 and the American F-15 Hawk fighter and concluded that it's similarities may have been a result of Soviet reverse engineering.

This is the first craft that I made to have thrust vectoring. I had to rip off the colors from the stock hellkeska, wasp, and other some planes to maintain consistency with the stock planes. I got the 2nd version of PlanariaLab’s hud and angled it in a realistic manner. It took me days to finish this.
.
It kind of handles a bit erratic, especially when I dropped the autopilot due to difficulties. It doesn’t even have instructions either. The most fun part is that you get to learn the Russian language (through google translate)! :)
.
Update 1: fixed the arresting hook issue and added the countermeasures (though you cannot see them externally). :)
.
Update 2: fixed the landing gear switch, added buttons on the base of the HUD (and an additional one for catapult launches), and also “reconfigured” the throttle and joystick inputs, so you can emulate HOTAS in VR. :)
.
Update 3: Fixed an issue where a label part falls off because it is not connected to the HUD base.

All comments were requested (Sorry BeastHunter, I made a mistake tagging you).
@Bellcat
lol, yes both planes are deprived of the f-15
i was joking about the spy stuff
didn't need to take it so seriously
lmao
@OwO, if that is so...
.
Well, I did not take inspiration from your CLevic 987 Julia. I did take inspiration from the F-15 eagle in service of the United States Air Force. You did take inspiration from the F-15 too, am I right? If that is so, our 2 aircraft are coincidentally similar on the basis that both are inspired by the F-15 eagle fighter aircraft.
@Bellcat bro, i posted it 4 years earlier, also that isnt the real one lmao
I changed the name recently but its my CLevic 987 Julia
I also have a new one
which is kinda close in looks
@OwO, no, I did not spy on your devices and I never will even attempt to do so. You posted your jump jet more than a year later than my post (yes, this post you are currently viewing at) and it appears to be easy to make in just minutes (on the other hand, a layperson could easily differentiate them from each other). I would assume that this is a coincidence, since it seems that you became aware of my post and commented on it 7 days after you posted it.
This looks tooooooooooooooooooooooo close to my jump jet
-w-
aer u spying on me?
@rexzion, just follow the tool tips on each button. I am sorry I did not add the instructions in the description nor in the aircraft. I don’t want to go to the curator to uncurate, and then recurate it again. Thank you.
@Bellcat oh bjuh you gotta add controls, either in the in-game controls tab or in the description
@rexzion, activate group 4 and you have a couple of interceptors and 2 machine guns to fire.
omg no gun im crying
Curated
@Bellcat ill go send it to the curators, my internet is down at the moment and I'm using mobile data
Hey @V, can you curate this again? I have updated my plane and description.
@Bellcat nice , now make life of Boris airkraft
@Faze23, correct! It’s Anatoli, the silent cousin of Boris who communicates with hand gestures! XD
@Bellcat is it life of boris?
@BeastHunter, it's fixed now. Thank you for your feedback.
Great plane! The only problem is that the carrier hook and canopy are set to the same activation group. Other than that, I am amazed by this plane.
@Bellcat How was it a mistake? This plane is amazing. And I’m sure I requested a tag sometime for this. So thank you for the tag.
@EchoVehicle, by the way, you know who Anatoli is? (Hint, he is a cousin of a famous youtuber).
