• F / A-181 Black Wasp II - The F / A-181 Black Wasp II is an all-weather tactical fighter jet. The aircraft was primarily developed to establish air sovereignty, but still has good ground combat equipment. The Black Wasp is equipped for the aircraft carrier use.

• A-149 Gryphon - The A-149 Gryphon is an older generation all-weather tactical fighter jet.
