Introduction
I dont normally get into political territory but the Russians have poked the RJ and made me slightly disgruntled, enough that I have had to have 2 cups of tea today. My favourite band at present is Ukrainian and thus in danger -Sershen and Zaritskaya, if you want to check them out here
So in a rush effort to reinforce the Ukrainian Airforce with additional hardware (of arguable plausible deniability), and as the Russians did in Vietnam, some unexpected pilots of suprisingly good training flying flying for the opposition, RJ assembled a cheap but effective single engine aircraft using the following off the shelf bits / designs:
Wings - General Dynamics (Boeing?) F-16XL
Engine - Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-229 F-16
Fuselage and intake arrangement - F106 Delta Dagger
Undercarriage - SAAB Draken
Fin - A-7 Corsair II
Cockpit - A-7 Corsair II (modified)
Colour Scheme - Mig 29 (Ukrainian Airforce)
Weapons:
2no. MBDA Meteor BVRAAM
2no. AIM 9B Sidewinder (well theres plenty of them lying around after all)
1no. M61 Vulcan cannon
Controls
AG1 turns engine on, full throttle engages reheat, other than that just standard controls
Pictures
Whoosh and off we go
Target aquired, Meteor on the way
Boom, Mig down.
Information
This aircraft is designed to be able to turn really tight (handy in a dogfight) its down to the pilot to manage G's, the airframe will get you in behind those pesky migs and give you a chance of out turning their AA missiles.
Oh and according to the 3 view images SP generates its surprisingly stealthy, only the lettering stands out to the radar image.

wow
lovely wing paneling
@RamboJutter oh, intreasting
we really should try get answer from the dev team ._.
@SyntheticL I discussed this bug with Jamesplanesii a long time ago, i think i pressed Z at somepoint during the build (not sure if it was in a certain menu or something) and it turns all parts invisible on the 3 view - apart from lettering it would appear, with no way to rectify that im aware of. I provide enough images so not a biggy really.
May Ukraine prevail!
ehh, the three view seems bugged
maybe you should tag andrew and let them figure what is the bug causing it :thinking:
Like all your other builds, the first thing that catches my attention is that landing gear. Good job!
I love me some plausible deniability. Great aircraft. Slava Ukraini.
@Th3rmoplylae the Ghost of Kyiv would be a lot more ghost-like
Invisibility. If only the Ukrainian Air Force had this,the Russians would be screaming in fear.
And 1st place in the SP Stealth Challenge goes to......
