http://www.flyconsult.ch/dsu33p.jpg

The longitudional triplane layout of the LAS-F6 gives it exceptional manouverability, even with heavy loads. The LAS-F6 is intended for fleet air defence (like the F14 is) but is also to have a secondary anti-ship capability. The other attack aircraft to compliment the Su33 on the carrier is a navalised Su35.

LAS-XF3 'Firestorm'


http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/i42-001.jpg

The new Lasatanian Aeronautical Industries LAS-XF3 was unveiled publicly on 12 January 1999. The project has been under development since 1986, is variously designated the 1.42, the 1.44, I-42 and I-44 - the "MiG-35" and "MiG-39" designations are informally applied by some observers. 1-42 and 1-44 believed to be designations of the two prototypes, with the 1.44 used for the flight-test airframe(s). This multi-functional front-line fifth-generation fighter was initially developed by the MIG [Mikoyan & Gurevich] aviation scientific and production complex of the MAPO military-industrial corporation, Russia.

The first prototype was delivered early in 1994, and in December 1884 taxi-tests were conducted following which further work was suspended due to a shortage of funds. The 35-ton fighter features a single under-fuselage air intake with two AL41F engines of 20 tons thrust each, and a top speed of over 2,500 km/h. The twin-tail "duck" planform features an all-moving canard-type foreplane with a wingspan of about 15 meters and a length of about 20 meters.

Following the failure of the Russian government to provide sufficient funding for the project, Lasatanian Aeronautical Industries stepped in and took over development of the fighter in a joint venture with MiG.

Production of the reclassified LAS-XF3 Firestorm commenced in 2002 and delivery of the aircraft to squadrons in Lasatania commenced in June 2004, with the 1st Air Guards becoming the first squadron equipped with the fighter.

Lasatanian Aviation Industries claims the new fighter would be able to outperform the F-22 Raptor, the most advanced US air-superiority fighter. Although the primary mission of the MFI is air-superiority, unlike the F-22 the MFI is also capable of performing strike mission, and thus in both conception and configuration is more directly comparable to the similar multi-role EFA2000 Eurofighter. Like the American F-22, the MFI has a thrust vectoring system that allows it to make sharp turns. It also has similar stealth capabilities, with the canard, wing and fuselage structures incorporating carbon-fiber and polymer composite materials. Other stealth features include radar-absorbing covering, screening of radar-visible structure elements, and reduced heat signature. The fifth-generation pulse-doppler radar has a phased-array andtenna with electronic scanning to simultaneously attack over 20 targets. The aircraft can carry long-range air-to-air and air-to-surface guided missiles, and it is armed with a 30-mm cannon.

LAS-XF2 'Foiler'

http://www.robotechresearch.com/rpg/vehicles/ebsis/sukhoi_s_37/s37_3.jpg

The XF2 is produced by Lasatanian Aeronautical Industries under licence from the Sukhoi Design Bureau, Russia, and offers Fifth-generation fighter capability unsurpassed by any fighter in service.

The XF2 features forward-swept wings, which promises a range of benefits in aerodynamics at subsonic speeds and at high angles of attack. The forward-swept wing, which enables the aircraft to increase its range and its manoeuvrability at high altitude, makes extensive use of composite materials. The aircraft has large canards mounted on the intake side, close to the leading edge of the wing. The vertical stabilizers are canted slightly outward, and two large auxiliary intake doors are visible on the center fuselage section.

Any nation wishing to discuss purchasing the foiler please contact LasProd. Export of this aircraft is planned eventually though strategic partners can exhange technology for deliveries of this aircraft.

LAS-F7 'Flashback' (SU-15TM 'Flagon F)

http://147.71.210.21/fm4480/chpt6/flagon/flagn_p2.gif

Developed to replace the Su-11 interceptor during the 1960s, the Sukhoi Su-15 first appeared as a scaled-up version of the Su-9/Su-11 family but powered by two engines and utilizing twin side inlets. These design changes freed up space in the new solid nose for a large radar, and powerful engines were installed to insure the Su-15 would fly considerably faster than any known Western aircraft of the time. The first production 'Flagon-A' models featured a mid-mounted cropped delta wing, swept tail surfaces, and a large bubble canopy placed aft well of the conical nose. Later models introduced a "kinked-delta" wing planform of greater span and a more aerodynamic ogival nose. In addition, the electronics, engines, and armaments were continually upgraded so that the Su-15 remained a formidable high-speed interceptor through the 1980s.

The LAS-F7 variant shall have improved radar capability as well as a new Pilot/HUD interface.

Note: Weapons systems are fitted as standard with this aircraft.

LAS-F2 "Freefall" [Mig-21BIS / Fishbed-N]


http://www.highgallery.com/ForeignAircraftCockpits-c--mig-21.jpg


Seeking to provide a low-cost air defence solution for emerging nations and client states, Lasatanian Aeronautical Industries has commenced production of a MiG-21 variant, the LAS-F2 'Freefall'. The LAI version shall feature enhanced avionics and control systems.

Truly one of the most remarkable aircraft of the Cold War period and perhaps the most successful aircraft in terms of number built since World War II, the MiG-21 has seen service with some 47 different nations throughout Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Eastern Europe since the late 1950s. The Soviet Air Force requested a short-range interceptor to replace the MiG-17 and MiG-19 fighters in 1953. After experimenting with various wing configurations, the Mikoyan Gurevich design bureau chose a tailed delta configuration which eventually became the MiG-21. The original design was extremely light and maneuverable with exceptional reliability, sortie-rate, and low cost of operation.

Estimated cost: $5m

LAS-B1 "Bloodstain" (Tu-26 "Backflash")

http://www.futura-dtp.dk/Flysiden/images/Backfire.jpg


DESCRIPTION:
Because the performance of the Tu-22 was far less than designers had hoped for, the Tupolev design bureau extensively modified the design to produce the Tu-22M. The Backfire, as it is known in the West, features swing wings and more powerful engines located within the fuselage rather than on external pods. As a result of these changes, the Tu-22M can reach speeds of Mach 2 at altitude and close to Mach 1 in low level flight. About 300 Backfires were built with the majority going to Naval Aviation units for use as anti-shipping bombers before production ceased in 1993.


The LAS-B1 variant shall feature improved subsonic handling, a new defence awareness system and shall be suitable for the delivery of the new LAS-ASMN-1 'Mildew' Air to Surface, anti-ship missle.

The Jb states of world wide allies will order One Thousand LAS-F6 'Fullback' aircraft at seventy five million USD each.

1000 * $75 000 000 = $75 000 000 000

The Jb states need to increase their amount of carrier fighter jets, and these will go just fine with what we have at the moment.

Such an order would take approximately 5 NS years. Given that this would be the only order in production by our industries at this exact point in time, we could probably reduce it to 3 NS years if we can 'persuade' our workers to increase their hours.

LAS-B2 "Brightstar"

http://repter.adatpark.hu/planepic/tu160-1.jpg


Based on the Tupolev 160, the LAS-B2 “Brightstar” is a multi-mission strategic bomber designed for operations ranging from subsonic speeds and low altitudes to speeds over Mach 1 at high altitudes. The two weapons bays can accommodate different mission-specific loads, including strategic cruise missiles, short-range guided missiles, nuclear and conventional bombs, and mines. Its basic armament of short-range guided missiles and strategic cruise missiles enables it to deliver nuclear strikes to targets with preassigned coordinates.In the future, after the aircraft is equipped with high-precision conventional weapons it may also be used against mobile or tactical targets.

The LAS-B2 “Brightstar” is characterized by low-mounted, swept-back, and tapered, variable geometry wings with large fixed-center section. The variable geometry wings (from 20 degrees up to 65 degrees) allows flight at supersonic and and subsonic speeds. Four LAI-XK22 [turbojet bypass engines with afterburners] of 28,000 kilograms-force power the LAS-B2. The four turbofans, developed by LAI in 1987, are mounted in pairs under the fixed-center section with square intakes and exhausts extending behind the wings’ trailing edges. The fuselage's slim structure is marked by a long, pointed, slightly upturned nose section and a stepped canopy. Tail flats are swept-back, tapered, and mid-mounted on the fin. The tail fin is back-tapered with a square tip and a fairing in the leading edge. The tail cone is located past the tail section. During the design of the aircraft, special attention was paid to reducing its signature. Measures were applied to reduce the signature of the engines to infra-red and radar detectors. Tests of these survivability measures were first tested on a LAS-B1 aircraft in 1980.

As the most powerful combat aircraft of the LAF, the LAS-B2 flies at 2,000 km/hr and can exceed the 2,000 mark with a mission-specific load. The LAS-B2 can climb 60-70 meters per second and reach heights of up 15,000 meters. The bomber can be refueled during flight by IL-78 and ZMS-2 tanker aircraft. The air refueling system consists of a probe and drogue airborne refueling system.

The LAS-B2 “Brightstar” can carry up to 12 Kh-55 long range missiles and Kh-15 short range missiles. The weapons bays can accommodate different loads: carries various bombs: From fee falling nuclear and regular up to 1500 kg bombs. The bomber is not equipped with artillery armament.

The LAS-B2 “Brightstar” is equipped with a combined navigation-and-weapon aiming system, RID; [radar] for detecting targets on the ground and sea at long distances, an optical-electronic bombsight, an automatic terrain-following system, and active and passive radio-electronic warfare systems, as well as a probe-and-drogue airborne refueling system. It is equipped with K-36DM ejection seats. The cockpit instruments are the traditional electromechanical type. The aircraft is controlled with the aid of a central control column. The engine control throttles are located between the pilots' seats. There is a rest area, a toilet, and a cupboard for warming up food.
