Neo-Soviet Russia

Engineers have been working countless hours for the past few years to design and construct Neo-Soviet Russia's next generation of fighters. What has come from this is the is the XF-07 Horror.

The second of Lightning Stryke Industries aircraft, the Horror is taking a step back towards the conventional. This elegant beast is incorporating a number of technologies from the Duelist as well as introducing a few of its own systems. Structurally, the Horror is a rugged, simple plane. Numerous hatches cover this aircraft's body, making repairs easy on the ground crews. The engineers of LSI have also orchastrated a dual air intake system. Working with underside air intakes, the engines have two small intakes atop. These can either direct to the main engines, or to two tiny thrust ports a few feet down. A section of the wings also have the ability to sweep foward or back, like that of the old Su-20 Fitter, to help with speed and manuverability. Inside the cockpit things have been simplified. Gauges and dials have been cut to a minimum, LCDs now dotting the dash. Another feature new to this fighter is the lack of the small HUD screen. Instead of the simple clear slab, images are applied to the foward part of the canopy via lasers built into top of the dash. Defense wise, other then the already known systems, a new system is being introduced. Labled the DDS, the Deployable Decoy System incorporates two shallow bays on the sides of the aircraft near the engine. Inside each bay there is a aerodynamic yet incredibly radar reflective decoy, as well as a cable about one hundred feet long. These decoys have the ability to jam incoming weapons or instead simply making themselves targets instead of the host aircraft. Another defensive measure, though one being incorporated by more adn more aircraft, is the stealth characteristics of ths aircraft. The simple, smooth edges and lines, mixed with composite materials lend their help to this aircraft as well. The Horror is expected to be the frontline fighter for the USSNSR Air Corps for years to come.
