Miratian Aircraft

FM-1 Lightning

The Lightning is a 4th generation all-weather twin-engine tactical fighter, designed with the ability to attain and maintain air superiority.

Armament

  • Nose-mounted MC-7 30 mm gatling cannon
  • 2 × AAM-1 anti-aircraft missiles
  • 8 × AAM-2 anti-aircraft missiles

Comparable Aircraft

FM-1B Lightning

The Lightning-B is a derivative design of the FM-1 Lightning tactical fighter, designed to fulfill the role of a ground attack plane.

Armament

  • Nose-mounted MC-7 30 mm gatling cannon
  • 2 × AAM-1 anti-aircraft missiles
  • Up to 11,000 kg of bombs

Comparable Aircraft

FM-2 Falcon

The Falcon is a 5th-generation all-weather multi-role fighter with vectored-thrust capability, supercruise, multiple engagement capability, sophisticated control systems, and ten modular weapon hardpoints that can mount and fire missiles of virtually any manufacture.

In spite of a large missile capacity, the ability to track, assign to, and launch missiles at several targets simultaneously often resigns the Falcon to releasing a single devastating volley of missiles from exceptionally long range, followed by a hasty retreat to rearm.

Armament

  • Nose-mounted MC-7 30 mm gatling cannon
  • Eight external and two internal missile hardpoints
