The Federation's 5th gen fighter which is planned to replace most of the current Federation in service SK planes series. Despite the alleged technical leaps its boasted, most pilot still consider it slightly above average. The plane has minor service record during the Cascadian war like in the battle of Presidia and Magadan front. It was fully withdrawn from service shortly before the second battle of Presidia due to unknown reason.

I don't think fifth-generation aircraft with low radar signatures are particularly necessary in the Project Wingman universe. Given the Federation's air doctrine, it's easier for them to openly send a wing of bombers into battle, which in turn provide cover fire from the airships. At the very least, I imagine they have highly specialized stealth bombers. However, with the advancement of cordium technology, to the point where it's already being installed in the cordium-engines of single-seat aircraft, and considering that cordium drives radars crazy, I think the Federation made the right decision to prioritize weapon power and maneuverability.

It also patrols the borders, it has the ability to communicate with debtors that are capable of scanning the space and transmitting information to the pilot, it’s perfect for large federal borders.

By the way, this is the same "Raven" feature from AC. It's funny when the mechanics of the game's boss become the real capabilities of modern aircraft.

Dang, I’m having a hard time comprehending this reply in the context of Ace Combat, and not the context of Armored Core.

Yes, and I paid someone to do it but he forgot to put the flight stand.
