The XFA-44 “ Kocatka” is a 5th-generation experimental fighter aircraft developed as Russia’s response to the USAF’s Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program. Eventually seeing mass production as the CFA-44 Nosferatu, the Kocatka served as an aerodynamic testbed thus lacking the iconic internal weapon bays while incorporating rudimentary air inlets modified from a Sukhoi Su-27.

Designed for extreme manoeuvrability, the XFA-44 features a cutting-edge fly-by-wire system and a helmet-mounted display (HMD), seamlessly integrating pilot awareness with the aircraft’s powerful avionics. A head-up display (HUD) provides real-time combat data, while 3D thrust vectoring paddles allow for aggressive post-stall maneuvers, granting an unparalleled edge in dogfights. The aircraft’s raw agility can easily render the pilot unconscious with G-forces well in excess of 15 Gs.

The XFA-44 was affectionately nicknamed “Kocatka” by locals, as to its striking white and black livery resembles the markings of the Orca. Flight tests conducted with the XFA-44 would prove extremely promising, resulting in the aircraft maintaining its general silhouette throughout development into the CFA-44.

All symbols in the cockpit are in Russian, don’t ask why.

Real talk, I forgot to make the internal bays so I just ran with it, the limit for this contest is 200 parts so I wouldn’t have been able to arm this b** anyways. Might keep working on it to finally make the Nosferatu but I got no idea how to get the inlet shapes right lol.
