Shez-15 is a Sheznovakian Fighter Bomber that based on the Nekoslavian KN-20 Multirole Fighter.

Compare to the KN-20, The Shez-15 more focused on carrying massive amount of weapons to deal massive damage to the enemy. For example carrying a load of bombs to do a carpet bombing, Or carrying a load of missiles to down the enemy planes.

[Design & Project History]

As the 2nd Continental War started, the Sheznovakia also dragged into the war as the United Power invade them.
Their allies, Nekoslavia has developed the KN-20 and it helped a lot in the frontline.

So the Sheznovakia Air Force contacted with Blin Industry and willing to buy the KN-20.

However, the Blin Industry were very worried about how to keep deliver the KN-20 in the future.
As the United Power were very active between Nekoslavia and Sheznovakia, the KN-20 may get destroyed or even captured by the United Power during the delivery. It may effect the progress of the war a lot if these thing happened.

So the Blin Industry refused to sell the KN-20, but instead they changed the plan:
Instead of selling the plane, the Blin Industry could sell the copy of the blueprint to the Sheznovakia for local production as this plan can reduce the risk of getting captured by the United Power.

The Sheznovakia agreed the plan, and the blueprint was delivered with serval rules:
1. If it's impossible to protect the blueprint anymore, burn it.
2. The transport group must be small as avoiding getting spot by the enemies.
3. Turn off all the lights
4. Avoid driving or deliver it by vehciles.

Luckily, the blueprint were delivered to Sheznovakia safely in the end. They immediately built a KN-20 by following the blueprint.
However, the Sheznovakian found out that the KN-20 can't carry enough weapons for the Sheznovakia Air Force. As the KN-20 focused on dogfighting and mobility.

So the Sheznovakia Air Force contacted Blin Industry again and asked for the license to change the Blueprint.
Blin Industry immediately allowed their project, and the Sheznovakia started modifies the KN-20 immediately.
They successfully modified the KN-20 and named it the "Shez-15".
