Bandit Strike Cobra A-4A
Press (1) to release drop tanks. Press (2-7) to release ordnance. VTOL UP for spoilers, and VTOL DOWN for flaps. Trim for air brakes. A strike jet based off the Cobra F-8C, equipped with the M91 ground targeting radar and M41 tracking air-air radar instead of the M66 scan and track air-air radar. As well as export, it is used by the Pilotmario Marine Corps, since it was incredibly difficult to obtain fighter aircraft since the Air Force had priority over the Navy and then the Marines, but the Air Force has equal priority over the Navy and Marines for attack aircraft. Therefore, the Marines could obtain fighters more easily by labeling the attack aircraft. This was done due to concerns over the vulnerability of the Hummingbird against more modern fighters. The Cobra airframe was chosen since although slower than other options, was capable of using dirt runways, could carry more ordnance, and was durable. Although they arrived too late to see any service in Snowstone, they were used extensively in the Concordian Liberation Campaign, where they were employed to great effect, outperforming the Hummingbird in all roles. It served in reconaissance, strike, and air defense roles.

Perhaps take a look at our techs? We have great Interceptor. A cheap yet effective multirole fighter that easily adapts with its enviroment. @GALM1
@Pilotmario I guess so
Technically, there is no such thing in this universe. @SimpleTechAndResearch
@Mudkip I'll teach you a lesson to NOT COMMIT WAR CRIMES
@Mudkip Don't you dare...
We're allies.
I'll teach Sals a lesson.
@EasternHorizon Unleash it at the Teutons Face
We have a battle over Maywar. @EasternHorizon
@Pilotmario The pres changed its choice it will remain service and will have more upgrades
@GALM1 These jets were instrumental to the liberation of your country after all. The rugged plane was able to operate in airfields typically reserved for Pummelers. They accounted for 21% of all sorties during the campaign, second to the Pummeler themselves. Probably one of the best foreign-built aircraft we have ever adopted.
@Pilotmario Will never Retire bandit ones
@GALM1 You may have retired the Cobra, but we still use it.
Very effectively to liberate your country.
@Pilotmario we might buy a few to use until we make a good strike aircraft.
@Gmanndo1000 Need some?
Wow
