This is the ES-41, a twin engine short range interceptor that took a little inspiration from the SU-37. Designed for high agility and high speed, this aircraft hits the nail on the head when it comes you defending air bases across the world. Only limited by its range and field of view, the ES-41 can handle a number of aircraft on one mission.

Speed, acceleration and manoeuvrability are key in the art of short range intercepting. With this in mind, field of view was sacrificed in order to make a more streamlined airframe, fit for an aircraft that would have to take off and accelerate at a moment’s notice.


Have to deal with ground targets that somehow slipped through the radar? The ES-41 has a default armament that includes two infernos and two wing guns to deal with such matters.

The next upload will likely be along the lines of another interceptor, if not maybe a bomber. But, until then, happy flying!!
