Auto Credit Based on NARGII's [CLOSED] 1950-2020 war challenge

This is essentially an updated version of my Hawk fighter, which was the first plane that I posted on the website. I wanted to make this plane retain much of the original design whilst also having an updated, smoother look. This is also my entry into this challenge, hosted by NARGII.

Controls:
AG1 = Drop Fuel Tank
AG2 = Arm Missiles
AG6 = Canopy
AG7 = Tailhook
Control Stick (Trigger=Fire guns, Button 1=Fire Weapons, Button 2=Launch Countermeasures)
Trim = Trim
VTOL = Swing Wings

    I see now, I'm very interested to see what our allied comrades come up with.

    @SPairforce There are going to be a lot of airplanes coming out from the 1980s. :)

    @SPairforce The use of nuclear weapons means the war will end too soon. The end of this challenge is August 13th and the background year is 2020.

    @SPairforce When I was thinking about this challenge, I thought about allowing the use of nukes. Because one of the things I made before was a nuclear rocket. However, the use is not permitted because the war is likely to end too soon and it seems to be one-sided.

    I was thinking more along the lines of a F-14, but I can see where you get that from. I'll have to ask the host of the challenge if I can use nukes (probably not).

    yeah, whenever I build a variable-geometry wing aircraft, it ends up being pretty maneuverable without me having to do modifications, so this was easier than I thought.

    Both speed, firepower and maneuverability are perfect fighters. I think the enemy will have a hard time.
