Type-135 Tactical Interceptor "Anguta"

Newly inducted into the Sahale Federation's fleet or airships, and now entering heavier use by the Flagg Biological Containment Unit, the Anguta is an combat aircraft on the bleeding edge of technology.

Appearance and Equipment
At 24 meters long and a wingspan of 13 meters, the Anguta is criticized as being too large for what it needs to do. Flagg engineers however, bring up the counter-point of the aircraft's size giving it space to haul a substantially larger amount of ordinance than the average fighter. It was designed with sorties that could be several hours or even days long.

Resembling a cross between the Lockheed F-22 and Sukhoi Su-37, the type-135 uses three G-Engines to allow it vertical flight and super maneuverability with minimal mechanisms inside the wings for safety. Two disk-shaped engines are built into the wings while a single cone-shaped engine is built into the tail. The lack of heat and sound produced by these engines give the Anguta a stealth capability that few other aircraft possess.

For defenses, the Anguta has a titanium hull reinforced with Graphene. As expensive as it is, it allows the Anguta to take significant punishment where other aircraft would falter. Two point defense lasers on the bottom and top of the aircraft however, ensure the majority of ordinance fired at the fighter are shot down.

Offensively, the Anguta is equipped with a trio of Heavy Kondracki-Meija Integrator laser cannons. One in the nose, and two on the wings. Each of these cannons is mounted on a swivel, allowing them to target anything in the aircraft's general front. The swivel mounts also allow the Anguta to emulate a helicopter gunship if need be.

Where the air intakes would normally be, the Anguta is armed with a pair of stacked-projectile missile launchers. Two internal Leighly-Braun Manifolds 3-D print dust warheads which are then plugged onto guidance systems/engines. On the down-side, the Anguta sacrifices the ability to engage targets in a full 360 around it, but the super maneuverability granted by the use of G-Engines and the fact that stacked projectile launchers allow the Anguta to fire dozens of missiles or rockets in the blink of an eye more than compensate in the eyes of some military strategists. The fuselage contains an auxilary weapons bay for specialized ordinance or extra dust tanks for the weapons.

For control of the aircraft's systems, a special CATSAIOS is installed into the internal flight computer. This CATSAIOS manages the aircraft's cyberwarfare suite and can operate the aircraft as if it were a drone should the pilot be incapacitated or unavailable. An experimental tactic used by Sahale Air Force officers for rescuing downed pilots is to have an unmanned Anguta pilot itself to a pre-designated point where it vertically lands and lets the pilot board.
