Single-seat twin engine 4.5th-gen fighter jet. Designed by nighthunter on Shipbucket. Original design is just the side-view so a lot of this is interpretation.
In-universe description: The Siveryan Air Force was looking to acquire either the Su-27 or the F/A-18 Super Bugs, but due to not wanting to be dependent on either the West or the Russians, they went to their home grown aerospace industry, which had started out producing copies of the MiG-19 and MiG-21s during the Soviet occupation. They took the best of the F/A-18 and Su-27 and made the RyS-35 Firefox. iverya’s neighbor and staunch ally, Ukraine, put in the first order for 120, to be delivered by 2021, fortunately, CoVID-19 did not cause any major delays in delivery, and they were available to defend Ukraine against the Russian invasion, with Siveryan fighters joining in the fray, allowed due to the 2002 Joint Defense Pact.
