Top Secret A-14 Plane! (http://www.starblaydestudios.co.uk/Images/X14-LeakedPic!.gif)

One of our highest-placed operatives working within the Starblaydi Intelligence Forces has managed to transmit a top secret photo from one of Starblaydia’s own imaging satellites. This image depicts their next-generation attack plane, still under-going development tests in central Starblaydia. It appears to be an Attack craft, designated A-14 (attack plane, type 14) perhaps intended to replace their current crop of carrier-based attack planes, which are believed to consist of FA-18E Super Hornets, Harrier FA-2s and EA-6B Prowlers.

This craft appears to have no tail fins, being basically all-wing, in a new radical design. Starblaydia-based Müber Aerospace Industries are known to be producing this craft, after their highly successful involvement on the F-23S Nightwing, perhaps the forerunner for this technology.

We hope that by exposing this aircraft to the world, the Starblaydi government will be forced into halting their obviously imperialistic drives for conquest and superiority

Official Statement from the Starblaydi Government

Reports have been surfacing in the press today that Starblaydia is undertaking the design of a top-secret attack craft. We can now reveal that the A-14 Gryphon, produced by Müber Aerospace Industries, a Starblaydi company, will be entering full production within months, as the Starblaydi Air Force has initially ordered a full wing of 96 A14s, with the Starblaydi Navy also keen to purchase some for its Nimitz-class carrier, the SNS Repulse.

The designation Gryphon was chosen as in ancient mythology, this creature was a protective symbol, representing strength and viligance.

The Lord-Protector of Starblaydia believes this new craft will be a swift deterrent to any possible enemies and, as such, will not be allowing this technology to be sold to other nations.
