The Kaminski KaF-41 Super Soko (Super Soko meaning Super Falcon in Serbian) is a twin-engine, 4+ generation supermaneuverable fighter aircraft designed by the Nikolian aerospace manufacturer Kaminski. The KaF-41 is a modernised and further developed version of the KaF-40. The main design differences of the two is that the KaF-41 has additional canards behind the cockpit, and thrust vectoring engine nozzles, which improves maneuverability of the aircraft. The aircraft also features improved avionics and radar, and fully digitalised cockpit.
