What sort of nation is yours blackbuck? as in it's political orientation.

With regards to the AU Lithentis is under the unaligned banner but leaning more towards the republic side of the fence.

Damn shame that

Hey, wait. South west, up in that channel?
That's hilarious. The Emirates moved, and control the entrance to that channel ... Or at least I hope too...

South-west of Palamara I do believe.

Cool

Did this, mainly because I had the time.
In 1995, the Emirates decided it needed some brand new planes... I'm going to have to draw them though...

As you can see, this is fighters, attack aircraft, and bombers.

I would suggest possibly carrying on along the route you've taken. Perhaps amalgamating FX and AX into F/AX ^^... You could get Su-27s/ Su-30s bringing better commonality etc.

FX and AX will probably combine as you say... and I like the su-27 derivatives... but I'd like to make my own planes, if I can. If not, I'll probably have to go with those.

Also, I think this might be done...

Not bad, though I have to say the launcher looks too large for the missile.
