SFRK - L-3 Propuh

L-3 propuh is the multirole, and backbone of the SFRK airforce of the 2040's.

History
The L-3 was first ordered by The SFRK Airfroce, and Army in 2036 to replace the ageing fleet of L-1’s. The design criteria specified a cheap, single engine multirole capable of supersonic flight, and super maneuverability. The criteria also specified that the plane had to be able to carry at least 5 000 lbs of bombs, both guided and unguided, as well as guided A2G missiles.

All 3 Kalban airplane manufacturers entered, with Kurčatov Design Bureao winning the competition. The first scal

e model of the L-3 took flight in 2037, with great results.

As the development went further a major issue was found with the Radar system. At that point it was obvious that KDB would not make the 2038 deadline. The issues were fixed in 3 months but with that and other minor issues piling up, the plane had its first flight mid 2039. It impressed the SFRK military command and the Airforce imidiatly ordered 12, for testing in limited service. In 2039 it had it’s first combat exceecisses against other Kalban Planes, where it decisevly beat all other planes, including the most expensive ones.

In early 2040 both the airforce and the army put in further orders, from the KDB. The first 12 aircraft have entered service in mid 2040.

Combat Record
L-3's flew patrols over Baskay during the Kalban-Owlian Skirmish, as well as engaged in multiple provications and shows of force over Owlia

While it never engaged in real combat, at the time it had a very respectable 2-1 kill ratio on any plane in Kalban Combat simulations
