"Harmful"

Or at least, that's what his Russian name translates to. His NATO reporting name was "Fred."

Based on the early Russian jets,

the MV-1 aimed to improve and perfect the design of planes like the Yak-15. Did it succeed? I'd say so. Its armor is questionable, and it's probably the slowest plane in all of FSF, but it turns like a beast, only outmatched by the feared Harrower, and its guns can tear apart anyone who dare be careless around the Harmful. In truth, the pilot view isn't amazing, though... well, this plane performs so well, it's pretty much worth it!

Trivia

-The MV-1 is the third FSF plane ever built.
-It is also the first plane with a clearly intended country of origin (that would be the USSR, specifically Russia)
-Canonically speaking, the MV-1 fought in the Korean War (as did pretty much all of the "Phase 1" FSF planes). It actually did pretty decently, most pilots loved the MV-1 for its agility, but wished it could fly faster, as the transonic F-86 and MiG-15 often dusted the Harmful in a race.
