Oh look, another lazy variants

Spare Aeronautics proudly presents you the ADA-37M "War Kite-M"

The ADA-37M is a modernized variant of the ADA-37F of the Royal Kondorian Airforce which proved successful from 2143 until the end of Intercontinental war in 2148

But despite the fame the F variant has made, the aircraft still has some notable flaw

Kondoria as a small country struggles to fund aircraft productions during the Intercontinental War. The War Kite as an advanced aircraft, was only produced in small numbers and distributed to the best pilot they had in the airforce. Spare Aeronautics then sought to reduce the production of the War Kite and to improve the overall performance which led to the creation of War Kite-M.

War Kite-M, after some modification to the airframe structure, featured an overall 17% reduction weight compared to the War kite
Which enhances the aircraft acceleration and agility.

Major changes to the airframe included shorter intake length and a redesigned wing strakes. The radome structure in the front has also been removed after Oracle Inc., developed a radar system specifically designed to fit the War kite-M nose. This changes improved the overall aerodynamics of the War Kite-M

After hearing words from the pilot about mediocre pulse laser convergence. The 2 wing-mounted P-13A1 was removed and replaced with one P-32A1 rotary pulse laser in the nose of the aircraft. In contrast to the P-13A1 designed as an medium-to-long range weapon that focuses on accuracy and destructivity per shot, the P-32A1 focuses more on showering enemy aircraft with less destructive rounds at short-to-medium range with extremely high rate of fire

The engine was also replaced with a much cheaper, lightweight and efficient engine at the downsides of having lower thrust compared to the F variant

Just like the "F" variant. Pilots are instructed to turn off their thrust-vectoring at lower speed to avoid initiating Post Stall Manuevers and the following flatspin.

The aircraft still retains RCS nozzle to recover from the spin as long as Post Stall Manuevers are done intentionally at higher altitude

War Kite-M has made its maiden flight in 2149 and is now in production to replace the remaining obsolete aircrafts in the Royal Kondorian Airforce
