This is now the home of the F-20's, and F-26's description. Don't mind the title. The descriptions are practically the same since the Hydra is basically a slightly slower but much stealthier version of the Ticat II.

The F-20 (Oslean Fighter 20) is manufactured by Mirage Heavy Industries of Oslea. It was created to replace the F/A-35 Talons currently in use by Oslea. The aircraft frame is composed of 25% CFRP, 14% titanium, 8% nickel, and 53% aluminum-titanium alloys. The F-20 does not consider stealth a priority, instead the frame focuses on speed. Every effort is made to increase speed, such as delta wings. However this makes the aircraft extremely visible on radar. A twin-tail configuration is used, and vertical non-slanted stabilizers. The 20A is used for combat purposes and the 20/T has no purpose but to train pilots in using them.
The F-20 uses a twin engine configuration with low-bypass turbofans. The huge Mirage F-120 engines provide lots of thrust and make the aircraft extremely fast but are heavy, and burn lots of fuel. The twin engines however significantly decrease the combat range of the fighter due to their huge fuel consumption. The engines have 4 dimensional thrust vectoring for the most mobility but increase the cost of the plane.
The fly-by-optics control system gives the pilot the most out of the aircraft. A tri-screen configuration gives the pilot the information he needs while not overwhelming him with needless stats, and the screens are touch sensitive so the pilot can access information more easily.
Each weapons pylon (total of 10) can hold 2,000 kg each. Usually only the 2 wingtip points and the 2 fuselage points are used for missions but the aircraft can use all 10 if needed, but this will reduce speed, which is the main focus of the aircraft. Pylons can hold most bombs and missiles, but are usually fitted with AIM-120 AMRAAMS and JDAMS. The aircraft holds twin MG3 20mm miniguns with 500 rounds of ammunition for each minigun. These are located on the sides of the cockpit.
The aircraft, due to the lack of stealth, can utilize flare pods that release salvos of flares to distract enemy missiles. Due to the high speed of the aircraft the OSF-20 can break off and evade the path of the missile while the missile heads for the flares. These usually occupy the fuselage pylons. To counter radar-seeking missiles chaff may be used, therefore a chaff pod and a flare pod occupy the fuselage spots of the F-20, although they may be replaced by weapons if need be. The aircraft can also function as an electronic warfare unit, when jamming pods are fitted onto the airframe. About two can be equipped. Lack of stealth materials also decrease the price of the plane.
An AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar is used as the detection system of the F-20. Due to this, the radar is extremely hard to jam and there is a low probability of intercepting the radar. The plane's radar can also focus its emissions on enemy sensors to overlaod them, making the OSF-20an electronic warfare plane as well.

The F-26 (Oslean Fighter 26) is manufactured by Mirage Heavy Industries of Oslea. It was created to address the need for a stealth fighter for Oslea. The aircraft frame is composed of 33% CFRP, 14% titanium, and 53% aluminum-titanium alloys. The composite materials used in the plane contain ferrite to optimize the dielectric properties of the material since dielectric materials are relatively transparent to radar. The OSF-26 tries to have the characteristics of a stealthy aircraft along with speed, so it has no right angles. Canted vertical stabilizers used in a twin-tail configuration ensure control and stealth are both provided. The 26A is used for combat purposes and the 26/T has no purpose but to train pilots in using them. To further increase stealth the aircraft is coated in radar absorbent material.
The F-26 uses a twin engine configuration with low-bypass turbofans. The moderately sized Mirage F-113 engines provide good thrust, and the low heat signatures keep infrared sensors from detecting it. Furthermore, the engines are heavily insulated to reduce heat signatures even further. The engines have 4 dimensional thrust vectoring for the most mobility but increase the cost of the plane.
The fly-by-optics control system gives the pilot the most out of the aircraft. A tri-screen configuration gives the pilot the information he needs while not overwhelming him with needless stats, and the screens are touch sensitive so the pilot can access information more easily.
The aircraft contains 4 2,000 kg pylons within internal bays to keep the plane's profile stealthy. 8 external pylons capable of holding 1,000 kg may be utilized for non-stealthy missions but the F-20 Ticat II is better suited for larger jobs. Pylons can hold most bombs and missiles, but are usually fitted with AIM-120 AMRAAMS and JDAMS. The aircraft holds twin MG3 20mm miniguns with 500 rounds of ammunition for each minigun. These are located on the sides of the cockpit. The aircraft can also function as an electronic warfare unit, when jamming pods are fitted onto the airframe. About two can be equipped.
An AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar is used as the detection system of the F-26, and many other Oslean jets. Due to this, the radar is extremely hard to jam and there is a low probability of intercepting the radar. The plane's radar can also focus its emissions on enemy sensors to overlaod them, making the OSF-26 an electronic warfare plane as well.
