Yuzhnoye Yu-31 “Serp”
A brutalist strike jet from the Ukrainian SSR, designed by Yuzhnoye Design Bureau in Dnipro. Soviet in doctrine, but Ukrainian in spirit—modular, stubborn, and tactically honest.

Naming & Designation
• Official Designation: Yu-31
• Ukrainian Nickname: Serp (Серп) — “Sickle”.
• NATO Reporting Name: Feral — a nod to its aggressive roll rate and somewhat wild handling.

Performance Envelope
Altitude Speed Configuration
Sea Level 495 mph (796 km/h) Fully loaded
5,000 ft 505 mph (813 km/h) Fully loaded
• Handling: Sluggish in pitch and yaw under load, but retains feral roll authority—ideal for terrain masking and snap evasion.
• Drag Profile: High, due to external stores and rugged airframe. Note that I have tested against AA tanks and chose to uparmour control surfaces and engines.
• Acceleration: Adequate for strike ingress; not built for dogfighting. Dropping the ground attack stores does reveal a fairly adequate emergency fighter, though. The 25mm cannon and aa-2 missiles are quite effective.

Strike Logic:
• Rocket pods for soft targets and suppression
• FAB-250s for hardened structures or convoy busting
• Atolls for self-defense, not air superiority
• Drop tanks extend reach into contested zones
• Cannon pod for strafing and self defence
