VeK-29Z7

The VeK-29Z7 "Mstka" is a multi-role fighter based off the Stasnovan-built VeK-29S. After relations soured with Stasnov following the overthrow of the Zolevskoyan communist regime, it was quickly realized that the RZAF would benefit from adopting western-built weaponry, due to its perceived superiority and easier access by commanders. This was achieved by modifying all Zolevskoyan VeK-29s to use missiles such as the AIM-9, AIM-120, AGM-65, etc. However, the main cannon remains the GsH-30, due to difficulties encountered during plans to replace it with the M61 Vulcan. Additionally, recent updates between 2017-2019 have upgraded most other systems on the aircraft, such as a more powerful radar and more reliable engines, as well as changes to improve general maneuvarability.
