Lore

The Kalan Sänky (or Fish Bed) was an experimental Finnish interceptor designed to give the Finnish a better alternative to the Mig-21. even though most sources suggest the Finnish named it the "Fish Bed" or "Kalan Sänky" this isn't actually true however, yes they did take inspiration from the Fishbed they called it the RzF.1vr as that was its title it wasn't called the Kalan Sänky until the late 80s called that by the "Helsinki Times" a Finnish news network. This experimental aircraft only had two models made. One can still be seen at the Finnish Air Force museum located in Tikkakoski Finland.
