FTA-31
A Light Fixed Wing Attack Aircraft. It features a lot in common when it comes to parts with the F-16. Commonality with NATO Parts makes it perfect for Western European Buyers.
A Healthy amount of Missiles and Rockets along with a Punchy 25mm Gun makes it a great choice for Quick and Surgical Close Air Support Strikes. It's aerodynamic performance gives it a great Dogfight performance once all the AG ordinance is expended
