”The Russians are here!”

-Commander Valerius Fire at the Battle of Hawaii


Development:

The Russian SU-147 Line of multi-role aircraft was developed in the years following the initial invasion of Earth and the founding of the Golden Military Alliance. Due to shortages in equipment Russia needed to supply its branch of the Golden Air Force on its own. The initial requirements from the Air Force High Command called for excellent mobility and speed combined with the ability to easily change weapon load-outs. It had to be capable of launching from any airfield in Russia and be able to fly halfway across the nation before it had to return for fuel. These initial requirements resulted in the creation of the SU-147A-1. Although lacking in range it comes equipped with six pylons for carrying AAMs, AGMs, or dumb bombs and it carries a devastating rotary cannon.

Creator Note:

This was made for my writing group called Project Heroes, which is where the Golden Military from my previous posts originates. This I would say is my first somewhat successful attempt at making a modern jet with forward-swept wings and have it still look believable and yes I took inspiration from the SU-47. This is also my first build on PC and for not having built anything in about a year and a half, I’m happy with it. Oh and be gentle when trying to pitch and roll at the same time, due to how I designed it, it doesn’t like doing both at the same time.
