DARKCORP AVIATION F-38X HELLKESKA NIGHT STRIKE FIGHTER

The F-38X Hellkeska is a multirole/night strike fighter jet designed and built by Darkcorp Aviation, a powerful private military contractor that supplies weapons and armed services to clients be it individual or national. It was developed as part of their F/A-X program that aimed to make an effective strike fighter jet for their air force and naval combat units.

This jet saw combat against the Tactical Forces, their sworn rivals and contrasting military organization, countless times and in many operations. One of which where it stood out the most was in Operation Flatland, where it became a highly feared plane for it's fast and highly accurate strike capabilities, terrorizing TFM ground forces in evening attacks against their forward bases and garrisons in Eastern Europe, and obliterating allied cavalry units whenever they launch counterattacks against Darkcorp ground units in clashes.

The Black Crow was a highly effective and efficient multirole fighter, but excels much more in strike missions against fortifications or moving ground targets such as armored vehicles and infantry. They also possessed semi-stealth capabilities, having a radar cross-section no larger than a commuter bus. It's thrust vectoring control, paired with it's unique crosstail horizontal and vertical stab configuration, the Black Crow is quite agile for a strike-type fighter plane. It even had a record of shooting down a total of 130 TFAF F-39 Pigpen, with only 10 Hellkeskas getting shot down or severely damaged.

Though an excellent air to air fighter, it would meet it's quick end against the then newly fielded F-22E Raptors. Of 15 that would be usually deployed, none survived, with zero losses on the side of the Raptors.

Not so long ago, Tactical Forces Central Command launched Operation Treasure Raid on one of Darkcorp's engineering facilities at northern Russia. Strike Force Alpha found a hangar containing one of their F-38X fighters. After they had secured the facility, Force Alpha had the jet delivered back to Wright Airbase, where it was stripped of it's tracking receivers and positioning beacons. As of 2020, the R&D department of the TFM had developed their very own F-38 fighter after thoroughly studying the captured aircraft, and is expected to be revealed to the public by mid 2021, and in full production by FlightArms in late June or early July of this year.
