Auto Credit Based on Kaiser7's ES-229 “Super Prye”
After the original ES-229 was fully decomissioned in 1980, there was a gap in its general role of reconnaissance and ground attack aircraft. This lead the IMS to reequip the aircraft with modern tech, and the ES-229-E was developed through the early 80s and put into production in 1986. Its first successful attack run was after being deployed from an aircraft carrier, stopping enemy fighter launch, and safely returning to the carrier; all without an arresting hook.
