-Author's Notes-

I hope anyone who sees this enjoys this aircraft! It's fast, it's really maneuverable, and you can squint your eyes enough to imagine you're in an actual Berkut! Hopefully, when Simpleplanes 2 comes out, I can actually see what this thing can do against the Buckler if both aircraft had human pilots. It'll be a nice thought 'til then!
