The '''Aininian Aerospace AF-4 Juggernaut''', also known as the '''Aininian Aerospace AF-X Next Generation''' during development, is a fifth-generation {{wp|Twinjet|twin-engine}} {{wp|stealth aircraft|stealth}} {{wp|multirole fighter}} designed to replace the aging {{wp|Grumman F-14 Tomcat|AF-2 Gannet}} and supplement the [[AF-3 Skydiver]]. Designed to be capable of fulfilling a {{wp|attack aircraft|ground attack}} and {{wp|aerial warfare}} role, the aircraft is designed for stealth and features many advanced systems.

The aircraft was born out of the 2004 ''Next Generation Multirole Aircraft'' procurement project by the [[Aininian Air Force]] to counter recent [[Triumvirate]] developments, notably the {{wp|Sukhoi Su-35|Y-8M Soaring Eagle}} and the [[Y-10 Skydragon]], and selected on 27 June 2007 under the designation of '''AF-4 Future Interdictor'''. It entered service in December 2015, its introduction being delayed by the speed of the development of its {{wp|Gatling gun}} and its radar suite. Featuring a {{wp|fly-by-optics}} flight control system, it is practically invulnerable to conventional electronic magnetic interference.

== Variants ==
'''AF-4/A''', main version of the AF-4 designed for multirole use. 120 airframes ordered by the Aininian Air Force.<br>
'''AF-4/AT''', two-seat trainer variant of the AF-4/A with dumbed-down weapons systems. <br>
'''AF-4/G''', ground attack version of the AF-4 that carries further munitions.<br>
'''AF-4/R''', variant of the AF-4 that sacrifices munitions storage in favour of an extended range and monitoring equipment. Designed for a reconnaissance role.
