Its iconic shape reminds of the JAS-39 Gripen, thanks in part to its distinctive small forewings. The A-149 Gryphon is one of the older airplanes in the Jets DLC package. It's able to support various combinations of missiles, rockets, and bombs via its conventional pylons, but it also has an internal weapons bay, enhancing its aerodynamic and/or stealth potential. W ith its pointed shape, the Shikra pierces through the air, making it one of the most nimble aircraft of its class. One might call this CSAT's and Russia's response to the Black Wasp.
The To-201 Shikra is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine, tactical fighter jet - inspired by the real life T-50 PAK FA and Su-35. Needless to say, this is the big daddy among fighter jets. Moreover, the aircraft is designed for aircraft carrier operations, which means it can be deployed nearly all over the globe. It's said to be superior when it comes to air-to-air combat, but also has excellent ground attack capabilities. Inspired by the real life F/A-18E and F-22A, the Black Wasp is NATO's top tier fighter jet. So, in anticipation of the release, let's don our g-suits, and take a closer look at 10 of our favorite things about the Jets DLC. Whether you're a milsimmer, mission maker, fixed-wing enthusiast, or someone who just can't get enough of the 'Danger Zone', there's a lot to look forward to.
