HISTORY:
Pending

ARMAMENT:
14x short ranged unguided air-to-ground rockets
4x long ranged radar guided fire-and-forget air-to-ground cleaver missiles
2x medium ranged radar guided air-to-air guardian missiles
2x long ranged radar guided fire-and-forget air-to-air interceptor missiles
Dual 50 cal. PAG Type-3 machine guns

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE:
Do not pitch down too hard or too quickly while launching a missile or a rocket, otherwise it might collide with the craft mid-flight and destroy it.

Action group 1 illuminates the exterior lights.

Action group 2 jettisons the rocket pods.

Action group 3 jettisons the inferno missiles.

Action group 4 jettisons the guardian missiles.

Action group 5 jettisons the interceptor missiles.

Action group 6 triggers the detacher on top of the fuselage. The detacher is used as a mounting point for special weapon platforms not included with the fighter.
