The Bratilov-Odecca ALK-59, otherwise know as by those who flew it, the “5-Niner”, was a Cold War era supersonic interceptor made in 1959 and entering service in 1963. The plane was known as the 5-Niner during the Vietnam War, as the Alaskan Marines were sent in to support the US efforts. It was later also called the Alaskan MiG-25, noting how effective it was and how deadly it could be. Soviet pilots were specially trained to know what to do if they encountered one, due to the reputation it had. The advice was, Eject or Run. The jet comes armed with 8 Interceptors, 4 Guardians and 2 Infernos along with 4 Wing Guns and 1 Minigun. AG3 for Afterburners, AG4 for jettison weapons, AG6 for missile pods and AG2 for arresting hook. VTOL is for wing sweep.
