ThIs aircraft was designed around the airframe of the venerable MIG 15, and was retrofitted with an experimental semi-vector thrust system that would eventually lead to modern variable nozzle jets. Designated the "Desert Rattlesnake" it was also one of the first aircraft to have its camouflage designed on computer, though with some limitation in the overall design. This lead to its other name from the west, "Diamondback MIG." the Diamondback would be seen on and off throughout the cold war, with western nations only coming across its true specs in early 2000s.
Handling
No special control inputs for Area88challenge. it's a little slick on the rolls, and bit sluggish on pitch in some cases, while yaw is fairly weak.
