H17 Katyusha

The H17 Katyusha stands as the formidable counterpart to the Winslow Accord's FM50-H Lightning, embodying the cutting-edge aviation technology and ruthless capabilities characteristic of the Communist Defence Pact (CDP).
== Overview ==
The Katyusha boasts an unconventional yet highly reinforced cockpit, deviating from traditional aircraft canopies seen in its counterpart, the Lightning. With rear-positioned inverted wings and vector thrust technology, the Katyusha is a sleek and menacing presence in the skies. Its compact dimensions, standing at 5.6 meters in height, 15.92 meters in width, and 24 meters in length, contribute to its agility and versatility. The Short Vertical Takeoff and Landing (SVOTL) capability further enhances its tactical prowess.
With a remarkable speed of Mach 14, the Katyusha is built for swift, high-speed engagements. The vector thrust technology enables exceptional maneuverability, allowing the Katyusha to outmaneuver adversaries in aerial combat scenarios.
The H17 Katyusha is armed with a formidable array of weapons designed for both air-to-air and air-to-ground engagements. The primary armament includes a powerful 30mm Gren autocannon, capable of delivering devastating firepower. The SW/Medusa smart-locking missiles provide precision targeting, ensuring effective elimination of hostile threats.
One notable feature of the Katyusha is its ability to repurpose the YL7 SDMs, acquired from Winslow FM50-H Lightning jets. This unique capability allows the Katyusha to function as a bomber when the situation demands, showcasing its versatility in various combat scenarios.
