OVERVIEW

This is an aircraft built for the Teranivo war challenge. I actually built the basic Lansen and posted it before this one on purpose, because there weren’t any good Lansens on the sp site.
This plane is a mix of replica and fiction.

HISTORY

In 1964 the Union started evaluating some interceptors from foreign countries. Among these there was the J32B, a Swedish subsonic fighter interceptor. They didn’t buy it, but instead they got 15 “E” electronic warfare variants in 1969.
They used it as an anti radar EW suppression system, but then they upgraded it to be able to jam Air radars, ground communications and more advanced systems. The upgrade pack was named /T and all the 15 planes received it. It comprehends the same old anti radar jammer on the belly, 2x EW pods on the wings and a more powerful, fixed one on the tail. It also receives a smaller fin on the spine for communications even during EMP attacks.
This was widely used during the Teranivo war, resulting useful especially for the ground troops. No one was shot down as it also got 70 countermeasures with the new upgrades.
It remained in service until 1991 when it was replaced by more modern systems.

CONTROLS/CHARACTERISTICS

The plane is subsonic, pulls low AoA and has poor energy retention. Even more it has no AAMs neither guns, so do not expect fighting in it. The cockpit is not detailed :-(.
It comes with the Union livery and roundels.

AGs

AG1 Drag Chute
Brake Brakes

The propellers of the EW pods actually spin when you get faster and they get more air, just like IRL
