The Sirocco was the LRI's main heavy bomber. A rather strange push-pull design, it's configuration not only made it a high-endurance machine capable of staying aloft for long periods of time, but also resilient to battle damage. On top of this, the triplane configuration provided it with a high payload, making it perfect both for bombing pirate bases in Mediterranean islands and the North African coast, and bombing cities to submission back when the LRI was still conquering Italy. In the CIR's campaign, it's role was much the same, being seen by CIR pilots as a large step up from Nova Evropan Burners as targets.

It's most notable actions were the bombing of CIR lands all the way in the Iberian Peninsula, with the intention of disrupting their logistics and pinning down their fighters. This would both be noted for their contrast with Nova Evropan tactics (the LRI would attempt to attack only military targets, as opposed to seeking to maximize civilian death), as well as for the modifications needed to pull it off, which entailed fitting fuel tanks in the bomb bay and only relying on external loads.
