Mk-JM11 Condor
Nydonian: X-TC11 Кондор (Kondor)
Propulsion
Two state of the art (at time of production) turbine engines power the Condor to over supersonic speeds, with afterburners and variable thrust nozzles giving it even more of an edge in combat. The turbine blades are also hidden from radar by directing the airflow to the intake hidden behind the fuselage. While the Condor isn't especially maneuverable for being a multiroll aircraft, it is quite fast for its imense weight. The downside to this speed is that the plane has a fly time of 1.75 hours at full throttle, or only around 45 minutes with the afterburner engaged.
Weapons & Armament
The main gun of the JM11 is a 25mm 5 barreled rotary cannon that fires at 3,000 rpm from a 1,500 round drum. This gun is suitable for both air and ground targets with a mix of high explosive and delpleted uranium armor piercing rounds. In addition, the craft also had 2 hard points capable of carrying 6 air to ground missiles each for a maximum load of 12, or alternatively drop tanks could be affixed for extended range. Lastly, an air to ground missile is affixed on the tip of each wing to compete with the more and more advanced missiles of the current age in air to air dogfighting.
