The P&K Mirai-2000

Brief summary:
First designed to counter the Merzhky KRaK-11 in the late eighties. This aircraft was built with mobility in mind, which is against WU doctrine. So much so that training pilot for this aircraft was quite hard; so much so that they almost had to rely on foreign exchange programs, to better train pilots for the G-forces and skill required.

So why is the P&K Mirai-2000?
So first you should understand who P&K is. They are essentially the top innovators I'm aviation technology for the WU (Western Union). So now that you know "who" they are why is the M-2000?
Well the Mirai was designed to specifically counter the Merzhky top fighter the KRaK-11 during the Sea War. The WUAF took major losses due to the mobility of the KRaK-11. Now the Mirai wouldn't be officially put in service until after the Sea War two month after infact.

What's the Sea War?
The Sea War was a conflict between independent Merzhky and the Western Union of West Aseion it took place over the Aseion Sea. The first air war since 1956, the war saw a total of 500 total air losses. It lasted from 1987- 1990.

What's is the WU air combat doctrine?
Essentially it says that all WU aircraft are used for "boom and zoom" or high speed low cost attack runs, not really any dogfighting (stupid ik) that's why they suffer major air losses in combat.

Am i even still active?
Mostly because my life started lifeing, so it's been hard to post anything on here. So sorry about that.
