(1) activates recovery parachute. The Paternian Air Force's primary strategic reconaissance drone. Unarmed, unmanned, stealthy, and able to fly at supersonic speed at low altitudes, it is capable of multi-spectrum observation as well as limited electronic warfare abilities. Although able to land conventionally, it is mostly recovered via parachute and air hook attached to a helicopter or by landing. This is done by shutting off the engine, waiting the aircraft to slow down to 400mph, and deploying the parachute. It is able to float for water recovery.
