LORE

The Ist-03 is a twin-engine, tandem-seat, heavy multirole fighter developed to replace the aging fleet of Ist-82B heavy multirole fighter in both Zanitsvan Air Force and Naval Wing. The aircraft boasted a massive improvement compared to its counterparts, from avionics to overall design. The Vorobei, unlike its predecessors, came with an internal weapon bay and sleeker design, allowing its RCS to be reduced into a fraction of the plane it supersedes. It is stated that the aircraft will continue to serve for at least 30 years alongside the currently developed Ist-09, the first Zanitsvan domestic fifth generation fighter jet.

In the Siren War, the Ist-03 is one of the many fighters deployed by the TFM to fight against both naval and aerial Siren unit.
