Sibling russian fighter aircraft!
Author's Note: Both planes (Elixir and Flask) were supposed to be uploaded yesterday, but i had some internet issues and they couldnt be uploaded.
Introduction: The SiG-98A "Elixir" and SiG-100A "Flask" are russian 4.5 gen fighters developed as replacement for MiG-29s and to work in tandem with the SiG-56AS "Strikezone". The Elixir is the smallest of the two, with high top speeds and manouverability, but with a bit of unstability, while the Flask is bigger, more stable and features 2D Thrust Vectoring (Pitch and Roll).
Armament: 1 20mm machinegun.
2 LRAAMs.
2 ATGMs.
1 Cruise Missle.
64x Countermeasures
Development: During the mid 2010s, SiG developed the SiG-56AS and the conceptual variant SiG-57AX. The Russian governament was happy with the 56AS, but saw the need to replace other jets, so SiG was once again contacted to create a new aircraft. The development result were the two concepts that would generate the Elixir and the Flask. In 2023, the finalized version of both planes. They entered service in 2024.

@KnightOfRen thanks, but how does it remind you of a Starfighter?
