Auto Credit Based on LukaIsDevinFather's Chaindavant (Sorush Design No. 4)
The S-DS4 “Zhuk” was designed to be a light bomber, based on a design titled the “Chaindavant”, however, the war ended before the S-DS4 could be put into production, therefore it was converted to a light exploration/cargo aircraft, it was put into production in the late 1950’s. Only one variant was made, this being the “A” model which featured a fairly powerful 865 hp RG C1200-45 Engine. Lore aside, the main reason I made this aircraft was because the Chaindavant looked cool but felt so empty with nothing inside it, so I decided to remake it.
