Count Grishnackh, Sovereign Emperor of The People's Republic of Greater Burzum, issued a statement to the international community expressing Greater Burzum's recent plans to begin development on an exclusive Fighter plane modeled after the F-3 style Fighter Plane. Count Grishnackh was quoted as saying:
"Today is a proud day for the people of Greater Burzum, we have grown by leaps and bounds as a people and it is time to start building defences for our Nation. After seeing the plans for this aircraft I must say I am quite impressed and have decided to not have the designers hanged publicly."
The aircraft in question has been named the F-3 DeathDealer, and is going to be used exclusively for national air defence within the country and not for militaristic strikes, due to the fact that the military budget is limited to 1.842 Billion at this present time, which will barely cover the preliminary building project. On this issue Count Grishnackh has been quoted as saying:
"Well, again there is the problem of funding...It is still an idea, not a reality. We have the plans and the blueprints but we still need funding which I plan to draw from private military contracting agencies...they will be most pursuaded to help in this matter, I assure you."
Here are a few images of the proposed F-3 DeathDealer Fighter Plane released from The People's Republic of Greater Burzum.

Along with these images there was also included a specs list which was as follows:
The People's Republic of Greater Burzum F-3 DeathDealer
Powerplant: Two afterburning Turbo Union RB199-34R Mk 104 turbofans of 16,410lb st
Span: 45ft 7in (13.91m) - wings fully spread; 28ft 2in (8.60m) - 68° sweep
Length: 61ft 3in (18.68m)
Max Speed: 1,480mph (2,333km/h) at 40,000ft
Accommodation: Pilot and navigator in tandem cockpit
Armament: One 27mm cannon plus four Sky Flash or AIM-120 AMRAAM medium range and four AIM-9L Sidewinder or ASRAAM short-range AAMs
Recognition: Oval fuselage with a very large swept fin and rudder. Shoulder-mounted variable geometry wings of delta shape when fully swept. Bubble two-seat tandem cockpit and a long nose cone (4ft 6in (1.37m) longer than the GR4). All-moving tailplane on the sides of the twin tailpipes.
Colours: All-over air defence black. Squadron markings worn on the tail with 'fighter bars' on the forward fuselage abreast of the roundel where applicable. Two letter code on top of tail was squadron-specific, but is now permanent identifier for individual aircraft. New codes start with 'ZZ' and work forwards.
The future of this proposed plane is still in question but will be documented thouroughly as updates occur.
