Original Teaser

Author's Note: Spent a long time making this, and it was a blast! Really fun to fly and build, even if a bit taxing on my phone. There are some Issues i couldnt fix at all before posting, but they shouldn't affect the flying.

Description: The FK-28M "Icarus" is a 4.5Gen Air Superiority Fighter. Powered by two powerful Afterburning Turbofan Engines, it can reach Mach 2 with ease. It is very maneuverable and can turn on a dime. It carries a great number of weapons, with one 20mm Autocannon, 6 AAM-60 LRAAMs, 6 SAAM-54 SAAMs, 2 AAM-44 XLRAAMs and a single portable Railgun XM271A "Zeus", alongsidd a vast quantity of countermeasures.

Development: The FK-28M was a joint project betwen Sukhoi-Gurevich (SiG), the Korean Peninsula Air Force (KPAF) and the Korean Aeronautics Industry (KAI). Development started in the early 2000s, originally meant as a complete replacement for the air force's previous air superiority fighters. However, with the launch of the FK-90A1 "Jester", it's purpose shifted as a support fighter for the Jester. This didn't stop the Icarus from being a simple support jet, it is also a great fighter jet. During the South China Sea Conflict, a small skirmish betwen China, Taiwan and the Unified Korean Republic, a squadron of 4 Icarus jets, Snakeskin Squadron, took down 35 Chinese J-15S jets, while the Jesters assaulted a small enemy fleet. The Icarus was later adopted by Russia as the SiG-28S "Frostfang" and by Japan as the F-3A "Yamato".

The Canopy bounces when pitching up. That's due to a Detacher part. I don't know how to fix that.
