- Low level strike aircraft
-
- thrust: two 11,030lb st turbofans
- max Speed: 500kts
- Dimensions: length 19.02m, span 12.70m
- ceiling: 50,000'
- endurance: 45mins
- stall speed: 150/200kts with/out flaps
- armament: 4 weapon stations
- 20mm cannon
- manoeuverability: fair
- survivability: good
- chaff : 40
- flares: 32
- decoys: 0
-
- Notes: a good ground attack aircraft,
- the buccaneer has the payload to make
- it's presence felt and the durability
- to survive in a dense threat
- environment. This is achieved at the
- cost of a low top speed and only fair
- manoeuverability.

- strike and reconnaissance fighter
-
- thrust: two 4,300lb st with reheat
- max Speed: 570kts
- Dimensions: length 13.25m, span 7.57m
- ceiling: 45,000'
- endurance: 35mins
- stall speed: 210/270kts with/out flaps
- armament: 3 weapon stations
- 20mm cannon
- manoeuverability: excellent
- survivability: poor
- chaff : 28
- flares: 20
- decoys: 2
-
- Notes: A reasonably fast and highly
- agile aircraft, the F-5 is especially
- at home in close range dogfights.
- Limited durability means ground
- attack can be a somewhat risky
- affair.

- Interceptor and attack fighter
-
- thrust: two 21,000lb st with reheat
- max Speed: 650kts
- Dimensions: length 17.47m, span 11.50m
- ceiling: 60,000
- endurance: 40mins

- armament: 4 weapon stations
- 20mm cannon
- manoeuverability: fair
- survivability: fair
- chaff : 48
- flares: 32
- decoys: 2
-
- Notes: an effective multi-role fighter
- equally at home with interception and
- interdiction missions. a high top
- speed helps offset limited handling
- and endurance.

- All-weather interceptor fighter
-
- thrust: two 16,360lb st with reheat
- max Speed: 675kts
- Dimensions: length 16.57m, span 10.45m
- ceiling: 60,000'
- endurance: 35mins
- stall speed: 200/270kts with/out flaps
- armament: 3 weapon stations
- 30mm aden cannon
- manoeuverability: poor
- survivability: good
- chaff : 32
- flares: 48
- decoys: 1
-
- Notes: Limited handling characteristics
- and a light payload count against
- this aircraft, but its main advantage
- is a very high top speed and
- reasonable survivability, allowing it
- to leave and re-enter a fight at
- will.

- manoeuverability: good
- survivability: good
- chaff : 16
- flares: 16
- decoys: 0
-
- Notes: A fast and agile all-rounder,
- this aircraft is highly effective at
- most types of mission. Its main
- drawback is its somewhat limited
- payload and countermeasures capacity.

- Tactical fighter-bomber
-
- thrust: one 16,950lb st with reheat

- 20mm cannon
- manoeuverability: good
- survivability: good
- chaff : 26
- flares: 20
- decoys: 2
-
- Notes: A fast and effective ground
- attack aircraft, the super sabre can
- also prove itself worthy in a
- dogfight. A slow stall speed and good
- handling and durability make it an
- effective all rounder.

- Tactical strike and recon. fighter
-
- thrust: one 26,500lb st with reheat
- max Speed: 565kts
- Dimensions: length 14.70m, span 11.17m
- ceiling: 60,000
- endurance: 35mins

- decoys: 6
-
- Notes: Probably the first choice for
- prolonged attack missions, the
- thunderchief may not be the fastest
- or most agile aircraft on offer, but
- its payload is second to none and
- is highly durable.
