Welcome one and welcome all!

To the debut of the beginning of the S89's Modern Line.

Before even the debut of the early S89, and around the time of the S77's appearance, Suipa aviation had begun work on not merely producing aircraft, but also the missiles made to accompany them. Beginning with purchasing numerous Russian-made missiles, including Fox 3s such as the R77-1, Suipa gained an early understanding of how Fox 1, 2 and 3 missiles worked.

It wasn't until western cooperation where the code was finally cracked, leading into the Aim-120-Echo, which both early S87 variants and early S89s are equipped with. Further development would lead into the production of the E-2, which featured Insta-Lock, increased speed past that of even Mach 5, thus making it faster than even the R27ER and numerous Surface-To-Air missiles. However, this missile suffered from problems regarding what aircraft could carry it. The S89s, and the [This aircraft has not yet been revealed] being the only ones able to carry it.

And the newest development in Suipa missiles, spurred by observations made during the M and S wars, is truly great. The Aim-120-E3. Even faster, longer range with Data-link support improved, inclusion of Ramjets and even BATTERY POWERED ROCKET SUSTAINERS. This explains why it burns for so long after launch, and the high speed constantly feeds the Ramjets, allowing for it to keep a high speed throughout its entire flight.

However, there was one problem. Actually, there were a lot of them.

The missile was heavily expensive due to the inclusion of so much technology, and to add to the problem, the radars of the S89 series weren't even good enough to use it, neither were their fire control systems.

The missile is also just...really big.

As such, following the development of the S89, Suipa would begin creation of a plane meant SPECIFICALLY to carry the E3 for testing. And that lead to the creation of the S94, which is now available for export alongside the E3.

It's a decent plane, not the fastest, or the most maneuverable. But the systems are great enough to where it can carry the act of God that is the E3. Give this aircraft a chance, and, from over 300 Kilometers away, it will easily kill an entire SQUADRON.

And even then, do keep in mind...

This is merely the path layer. There's something much better coming on your way, and all we can say is...

That plane takes Maneuverability and avionics to 11.
