(in lore) The Buffalo BF-105 It was a fighter developed by Buffalo Industries to compete for the Brazilian Air Force's (FAB) FX2 program. However, there was just one problem: the fighter had never left the drawing board. So, obviously the FAB rejected such aircraft.
Despite this, Buffalo made 2 prototypes, both of which presented some problems in their TVC system, which despite their efforts they were unable to fix.
However, after the Bravantine revolution, the Bravantine government had to return Brazil's combat aircraft, so they began the program of integrating new fighters into the newly formed air force.Only two companies offered to create the fighter, Buffalo Industries and Rust/PEIB: PEIB offered some modernized PrimisDrakon models;
Rust offered some old FAB Rust RTF-Astros-1s, which would be refurbished; and Buffalo offered its BF-105 Rufel fighter, which despite only having 2 prototypes, pleased the FAMB a lot.
So after a few contracts, the Rufel and Astros entered service in the air force, both as interceptors, and the Rufel was given the mission of being an air superiority fighter.
It remained active during the second year of the Bravantine government until 2024, when it was replaced by the TupiEng TFAS-34 Boitatá and TupiEng AF-71 Sumé.
He participated in some exercises with the FAB, and only entered combat once, this combat was BVR, against a Su-30, which despite having shot down the fighter suffered a failure in the TVC and ended up crashing.
