The Not-16!

Type: Multirole Jet Aircraft
Max Speed: 900mph
Speed of Supermaneouvreability: N/A

The JS-16A Cobra represents a very un-represented class of aircraft in Exeron: conventional fixed wing light fighters. The Cobra is a well all-rounder aircraft, with guided bombs for strike operations, fittings for heavy fuel loads to work as a "buddy tanker", a strong radar with powerful missiles, fittings for an advanced ECM pod at the cost of some missiles, and many more. The Cobra is also well suited for potential emergency landings, carrying a thrust reversal system and strong brakes.

Weapons

4× PARS-1M ARH Mid-Long R AAM
2× AAM-7IR IR Short Range AAM
4× GBU-2000 Rätte Long Range IR/Laser Guided Bombs

Activation Groups

AG-1: Canopy
AG-2: Thrust Reversal
AG-3: Airbrakes
AG-4: Arm Missiles
AG-5: Jettison All
AG-6: Tailhook
AG-7: Ejection

History

In the late 1980s, Exeron decided they needed a simple and easily maintained fighter, both for export and for the event of attacking an enemy nation. They needed an aircraft advanced enough to hold its own in the evolving skies, but inexpensive enough that losing one wouldn't be crippling to a squadron. EAC answered with the JS-16

The JS-16 represented a realm of aircraft long since forgotten within Exeron. Standard, inexpensive, single engine, fixed wing fighters. Ever since the first JS-31, Exeron had been experimenting, trying to find the ultimate aircraft design, but inevitably gave up and began working to streamline their aircraft. The JS-16 fits in the perfect middle betwern advanced and simple, tying together advanced and powerful systems to streamlined repairs and easy access to the engines. When a JS-55 or JS-47's engines go out, they have to be fully removed, their TVC Nozzle and controls removed, and shipped to Reladyne for repairs, rendering the aircraft inoperable for several days or even weeks at a time while the crew awaits a replacement. The JS-16 uses a single engine, a short but powerful thing, that can be worked on easily, a luxury most TVC-Loaded aircraft don't have.

The JS-16 was adopted almost immediately after exiting the prototype stage and remains a very prominent figure in the ESADF, with hundreds of them lining the skies each day

    @LunarEclipseSP I was thinking closer to the FA-50, the FCK-1 looks like the F-16 and F-18 had a sewer baby and raised it on steroids and kerosene

    @Supersoli8 also, my thumbnails aren't near as intricate as Silver's, I usually do the Flag of Exeron next to a screenshot of the vehicle (like this)

    @Supersoli8 if I was actually good at building, I would've just made an F-16, but I couldn't get the nose to look good
