The Beriev is wonderful in these colors! Could I use it with a similar template for Hellenic Fire Brigade and Hellenic Coastguard AU? |

The VAI/Embraer F-1 Puma (Cougar) is a light single-engine multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by Venezuelan Aircraft Industries and Embraer. It was designed specifically for the South American export market and to replace older aircraft like the Northrop F-5, and older fourth generation fighters. The Puma has a conventional configuration with relaxed stability design and fly-by-wire flight controls. It is powered by the Snecma M88, the Eurojet EJ200 or the GE F414 and has a top speed of Mach 2 and in-flight refuelling. Later aircraft are modified for NATO interoperability standards.
I'd like to see what this looks like in FD-scale, from both the drawing and the specs it looks like a near-carbon copy of the Gripen (not that that's a bad thing).
VAI and Embraer began development studies for a light and cheap aircraft capable of fighter, attack and reconnaissance missions to replace older types in service in South America. A new design from VAI and Embraer using private funding was selected and developed as the F-1 later named the Puma (Cougar), first flying in late 2016. Following delays due to problems with the radar development most of the potential costumers decided to order existing types leaving the aircraft with only one costumer, the Peruvian Air Force which placed an order for 66 aircraft which kept the program alive. The Puma entered service with the Peruvian Air Force in 2018. Even though great efforts were made to sell the aircraft the Peruvian air force remained the only costumer for a year and a half until the Romanian Air Force ordered 48 airframes to replace their Mig-21's and this was followed shortly by an order from the Croatian Air Force for 24 aircraft taking the order book to 138 which ensured not only that the production run would be stable but that all the development costs would be covered. In 2019 the Libyan Air Force which had been looking for a cheap fighter to rebuilt its squadrons asked VAI and Embraer for a flight demonstration and evaluation of the aircraft, two weeks later two F-1's arrived at Tripoli for testing by Libyan pilots and maintenance crews which praised the fighters simplicity and capabilities. A week later the Libyan Air Force placed an order for 72 aircraft to equip three fighter squadrons. |
