Tales of the False Sukhoi and the Tarsier Bat

March 11, 2022

Hello everyone, welcome back to The Karlagrad Times, where journalism is great and we present things to you like a normal human being. We are also the diary of Cossackia. Today, we will present before you hot new aircraft you people can buy for million bucks. No more chit-chat, let's commence forth.

The False Sukhoi

KS-MM22 III Fighter "Agila."

In response to the invasion of Ukraine, an indirect response was coming from Karlagrad Avionics, a subsidiary of Karlagrad Motors, and the subdivision of the Karlagrad Company, a semi-state-owned business organization that specializes in the production of all human resources. 

It is also in the response to more high-performing, faster, more modern aircraft. 

What they created is something resembling a Sukhoi aircraft, specifically the Su-34, the exception is it is electric, designed, and made in Cossackia...thus was born the KS-MM22 III Fighter "Agila." 

The Kozatskaya Samolet Model' Marso goda. 2022 Klas' 3 (Cossackian Aircraft Model March 2022 Type 3), codenamed "Gila" (Agila/Eagle), is a mere copy of the Sukhoi type 34. It is slower than the original Su-34 but uses no fossil fuel, especially Russian fuel. Its speed is at ROBLOX Mach 0.3-0.4 (300-400 studs/speed per second), or real-life Mach 0.8-1 (800-1000 speed per second).

Equipped with a 1.25 caliber machine gun, two electronic jet engines, and a pair of ATA-ATS missiles, it can't outmatch its Russian cousin but can perform as a reserve or light attack aircraft. It was officially dubbed "Agila" but most people dubbed it as "the False Sukhoi" due to its appearance.

The Tarsier Bat

KS-MD21 III AWACS-EW Fighter “Tarsier Bat”

The Kozatskaya Samolet Model' Marso goda 2022 Klas' 2 (Cossackian Aircraft Model March 2022 Type 2), codenamed Tarshir-Paniki (Tarsier Bat), is the replacement for the KS-MD21 II AWACS “Tarsier”, whose take-off is cumbersome and its capabilities limited, rendering it useless.

Designed on March 11, 2022, it is the fastest aircraft with the highest speed tolerance, able to reduce turbulence by 45-50% with composite wings. It is also equipped with two jamming pods, 4 ATA-ATS Missiles, and a powerful, yet deadly 1.5 caliber machine gun.

The first version was equipped with a 10 feet AWACS Radar Dish, but its weight slows down the aircraft and increases the risk of turbulence and especially stall. So in the second and current version, it was replaced with a pair of antennas, 3 feet high. The antennas still pick up the same wavelength as the first version.

Its speed can reach ROBLOX Mach 0.6-0.7 (600-700 studs/speed per second), or real-life Mach 1-1.6 (1000-1600 speed per second).

And, it is the first Cossackian aircraft to accommodate two pilots in one vehicle, finally. The aircraft requires a pilot and a technician. The pilot controls the aircraft, but the real magic is from the technician. The technician is trained to activate the jamming pods, sending airwaves to enemy electronics, to jam them and disable them temporarily, so as not to be detected on radar.

It also can reduce enemy missile AI by 30%, and increase allied missile AI by 30%. This feature makes it the first Cossackian aircraft to be a compact Airborne Early Warning Control-Electronic Warfare hybrid fighter, having to hack in the field while being useful in combat.

How much?

For starters, you can purchase the KS-MM22 II, its slow speed and light armament mean a cheaper price, around ₽1,455,000.00 Cossackian Rubles or ₱727,500.00 Philippine Pesos.

Meanwhile, the KS-MM22 III costs around merely twice the price of the Agila fighter jet (₽2,225,000 or ₱1,112,500).

Where is it used?

The Type 2 wants to be the butt of all jokes, so it is given to Ukrainian auxiliaries as a way to trick the Russians into thinking that their airforce is more than it is now. But make no mistake, Type 2 is not a Su-34. As for Type 3, it is used in large quantities as the aircraft has to temporarily replace the Sokolovi Finix and Vielka type jets.

The Type 2 is mostly used by the 3rd Tadeusz Kosciuszko Squadron, while the Type 3 is mostly used by the 10th Jesus Villamor Squadron

What family of jets are these from?

Left to Right: Sukhoi Su-34, SAAB JAS 39, Boeing EA-18G Growler

Both the Agila and the Tarsier Bat are in the same family, the Sokolovi family of aircraft.

The Agila has its Russian roots, basically an adopted child of the Sukhoi Su-34. The attributes inherited are the style, and that's basically it. 

The Tarsier Bat, on the other hand, has its Swedish-American roots, from the SAAB JAS 39 Gripen and the Boeing EA-18G Growler. The attributes inherited are not only the style but also the equipment. The wings are predominantly from the SAAB, but it also takes up their own form.

The 1 Million Cash Question: Which plane is better?

Honestly, I love the Agila fighter jet. Even if it's just a mere copied, reverse engineered version of the Sukhoi Su-34, it's still one of the cheapest the government can buy for its airforce. But I also do like the Tarsier Bat fighter jet, it is fast, but fighting at supersonic speeds actually reduces combat range. But anyway...that's it.

That is all for this report, stay tuned for a tank when it has three parents. Until we meet again, this has been The Karlagrad Times.
