AeroWing FA-21M3 Krestelus

The era of dogfighting is back, after BVR missiles have became partially obsolete, as newer, more maneuverable aircraft pop up, with better stealth technology and more effective jamming systems, and such thing calls for a new dogfighter. So, our warcriminal friends, the Canadians, with the help of the British, have cooked up something interesting...

This aircraft has been in service for the past 20 years, and it has proved itself as a formidable opponent in the ''Hunger Games of Midway''. (a massive air battle that took place 3 years prior in World War 3, atleast 350 aircraft were involved, and 5 Kestrelus's came victorious, along with the ASAW-45X Stygian, and some ACF-5F Acer's. ...Which were quickly dispatched by the Stygian a minute after the battle was over.). It's a reliable, low-cost, low-maintenance, high-performance, affordable fighter aircraft (for stealth aircraft standards, it's decently cheap), with a cockpit system similar to COFFIN, it ensures the pilot has as much information about his/her enemies.

The Kestrelus carries 6 XHESM-24 ''Oppressor'' multirole missiles in weapon bays under it's engines, and the main airframe contains an SDM-50EX ''Naginata'' Air-To-Ground/Surface Heavy Missile (ATGSHM), used in emergencies for when a group of ground vehicles are a great threat to the aircraft.

The 2D TVC nozzles allow the aircraft to recover from stalls and perform PSMs (Post Stall Maneuvers, just a party trick), and bleed energy rapidly if it's needed, aside of increasing it's maneuverability without compromising stealth.

The F/A-21M3 Kestrelus is a Multirole 6th-Gen fighter aircraft, developed by AeroWing Technologies in Canada, Quebec.

Note: This specific Kestrelus is flown by the captain of the TFS-433 Squadron (433 Tactical Fighter Squadron), Chad Johnson, callsign: ''Swan''.

Note2: It's an Ace Combat type of aircraft, obviously it's gonna have impossible amounts of fuel in a frame where there's little to no space for fuel.

Note3: I don't know how to fix the wobbling after doing a barrel roll, maybe just make the canards not contribute to the roll? you can get to the small rotator through the attachment menu.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, I HEAVILY RECOMMEND IT

(Dayum, i really cooked with this one)

To all the people that upvote this, thanks!

Oh shoot i wrote ''Keltrelus'' instead of ''Kestrelus'' on the label close to the left canard- welp-

    @SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore Judging by your name, trust me, the lore is plenty.

    And also, i'm working on a fix for the cockpit and some other visuals.

    And also, thank you for even just saying ''holy moly'', appreciate it.
