360 nitroth  11 months ago
Auto Credit Based on nitroth's AFA-4A Flechette UPD.

The third and final iteration of AFA-4 Attack Aircraft.


DESCRIPTION:
Attack aircraft, created by AERO Industries, SatTec's affiliate in mid-2024. RB variant of AFA-4 was created in the very beginning of Arkhagnia-Yoltenian war in November, 2025, and was primarily used for night aerial diversions and covert operations. The go-to armament of AFA-4RB consisted of 4 automatically guided bombs, 2 unguided bombs, 2 long-range anti-ship missiles and 2 semi-active air-to-air missiles. Although the initial purpose of such use of SAAMs was dealing with small numbers of enemy helicopters, a talented few has achieved success in winning in sudden dogfights as well, proving that, if needed and handled correctly, this aircraft can surely bite back.
