Based off of the French-built Super Etendard, the Lycernia Corps. Lc-48 Panther is a land-based tactical strike aircraft, but can also perform in anti-shipping and CAS roles. The A variant has a crew of one, four Inferno ATG missiles, a single "Cleaver" cruise missile, two BOOM50 500 lbs. bombs, and two external drop tanks. Against ground units (like infantry and light AA), the Panther is well-armed and well-armored, and can take multiple hits. Other weapon types that it can be equipped with are: Rocket pods, 250 lbs. bombs, torpedos, radar-jamming pods, EMP bombs, and more. After its introduction in 1981, the Panther has been used in many conflicts around the globe, and is still in service as a patrol aircraft to this day.
