Su-36 Imperator

The Su-36 Imperator is the latest Halladi interceptor aircraft. It is essentially a modernized Su-27 Flanker, however it encorporates larger guidance and weapons systems. The Su-36 is able to target up to 12 aircraft at once, and fire at all of them with enhanced accuracy.

The engines have been fully upgrade, to replace the out-of-date Lyulka AL-31F. The MiG-35s engines are used here, with over 20,000 lbs more thrust that the Su-27s engines.

All weapon systems are upgraded to high Halladi standards and the plane uses the new AA-13 Apostle. The missile is capable to targeting stealth aircraft with a notable margin of sucess.

The first prototype was flown in Febuary 2002, however, it was later halted due to lack of funds. Later in April of 2004 the project was brought back. It now incorporates the latest Halladi weaponry and technology. A trainer version is expected to be avaible soon, which should be a two-seater.

Thank you very much. As always, it is a pleasure purchasing from this spectacular nation.

Very impressive.

Stevid would like to order 100 of these aircraft for the Stevid Airarm.

The money will be automatically wired upon the confirmation of the order.

The peoples republic of neuvo rica would like to buy 2500 of these aircraft to aid the defense of my nation.

Very impressive.

Confirmed. Your aircraft will finish arriving in 14 months.

We would be most honoured to aid your nation, unfortunatly with the ammount being produced at the moment, they would only be arriving in miniscule ammounts. We would be able to have 12 in your nation with a group of advisors on the use of the planes in 16 months.

The Witzgallian Empire would like to purchase 800 of these very nice aircraft, mainly for the use in aerial patrols over our land.

We await confirmation in order to wire the monetary amount necessary.

Confirmed. Your planes will finish arriving in 10 years.

Thank you, and your money has been wired by overseas routing.

*money wired*

It's ugly - we'll stick to our current customers, whom we dont these things could match tactically and strategically anyway - goodluck.

The PRWE wants to order 10 of this promising plane. The total cost will be 360 million.

Confirmed. Your order will finish arriving in 14 months.

The People's Republic of Cheeser12 is very interested in this new aircraft and would like to purchase 25 of them for testing. If we are satisfied, we will purchase more.
The total should be 900 million dollars.

Confirmed. The planes will finish arriving in 36 months.

With such large orders, until the previous orders are completed we will not be selling any Su-36s.

(This probably isn't important, and I could very well be wrong, but if it's a dedicated interceptor, shouldn't the numeric designation be odd? Uneven, I mean. MiG-15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, Su-7, 9, and so on and so forth? I know there are sort of exceptions, but usually they're multi-role or possibly mis-identified by NATO at the time of their first encounter, I think. And the name given with that western designation would probably start with an F, wouldn't it? Fitter, Fishpot, Flanker et cetera. Of course it could still be called Imperator, but that probably wouldn't be part of the designation that includes the Su-#. None of this means that a squadron of them couldn't take out the Zapadslav air force, mind :) )

OOC:

The MiG-27 is a fighter, not an interceptor. Besides, Hallad isn't really a western nation. It's a socialist nation that's 84% Arabic. And, the eastern designations were completly different from the western ones.

I do use the western designations for the most part, however, since it's much easier to remember. The MiG-28 Flounder, which I have almost finished is an example of the use of a westernish name. The MiG-28 will be the main fighter of the Halladi airforce, replacing the MiG-27.

(Well, yeah, like I say, it doesn't really matter. It's just that the style given is the NATO type designation as one would expect to be applied to a ground-attack aircraft (I think). I don't think that the NATO nomenclature differentiates between types of fighter (short/long range interceptors, air superiority and what not). I'd have gone with Su-49 Farrier (I'm not sure where they're up to, number wise) or something like that, or more likely used my own nomenclature and possibly suggested the above as a foreign designation. Anyway, that's enough of that, I've got vastly inferior interceptors to develop!)

OOC:

They're at 47. The S-37, also known as the Su-47, is Sukhoi's latest plane.
