The F/A-81A Weevil is a new, medium to long range interdictor aircraft of the Tactical Forces Military Air Force. After purchasing several units from Phoenix Industries, the TFMAF/TFAF extensively modified Project 8121 into what is now the Weevil Interdictor. It comes equipped with explosive slugs-loaded, and highly accurate 64MJ Railgun, air brakes, an M61 Vulcan gatling gun, AAFF-20 Seeker Air to Air missiles, and chaff-flare countermeasures to evade and break locks. It's powerful engine and thrust vectoring capabilities make up for it's heavy weight due to the extra weapon bays in it's wings. It's flight range had also been increased by two external fuel tanks that hold 200+ gallons of fuel, which can be punched off in case the pilot needs to get away fast. The first 50 Weevil Interdictors have been delivered and are currently flying under the 2nd Interdictor "Deepstrike" Squadron of the TFAF's 51st Combat Strike Wing.

    @ShinyGemsBro no problem! It's just that I don't often see variation on my planes as much as I would like
