KmFzG-7

The Nordfluss KmFzG-7 Boxfalke is a Vazandian all-weather multirole strike fighter. The KmFzG-7 was designed in the 1960s and 1970s for long-range, high-speed Air interdiction without relying on escort or electronic-warfare aircraft. Luftwaffe (KRL) KmFzG-7 Boxfalkes are the primary multirole aircraft employed by Vazandia

The Boxfalke has been deployed for military operations in numerous nations around Atlas. During these operations, the strike fighter has carried out deep strikes against high-value targets and combat air patrols, and provided close air support for Vazandian troops. It has also been exported to several countries.

Origins
The K-7 was introduced by the KRL to replace its fleet of KmFzG-13 Weisserrabes. Unlike the K-13, the K-7 was designed for the air superiority mission with little consideration for a ground-attack role; the Armed Forces Budget Office opposed the idea of K-7s performing the interdiction mission. In service, the K-7 has been a successful fighter, scoring numerous aerial combat victories and minimal losses in air-to-air combat as of 2020.

Despite a lack of official interest, Nordfluss quietly worked on a K-7-derived interdictor fighter. The company envisaged the aircraft as a replacement for the ErFzG-49 Fanatiker and the remaining K-13s. In 1979, the KRL initiated a year long trial, which looked at Nordfluss' proposal and other options such as the purchase of further ErFzG-49s. The study recommended the K-7 as the KRL's future strike platform. In 1980, Nordfluss and Stettinwerke AG began a close collaboration on the development of the K-7b's air-to-ground capabilities.

To assist in the K-7's development, Nordfluss modified the second ExK-7 prototype as a demonstrator. The aircraft, known as the KmFzG-7b, first flew on 8 July 1982. It was previously used to test conformal fuel tanks (CFTs), initially designed for the K-7. It was subsequently fitted with a laser designator targeting pod to allow the independent delivery of guided bombs. The demonstrator was displayed at the 1982 Altstadt Airshow.
