The Ruiz-Moya RM-284 Halcón (Sylvan: Falcon) is an Idacuan tail delta, single engine 4-generation generation air superiority multi-role all-weather tactical fighter developed by the Ruiz-Moya Aeronautics Design Office. The RM-284 entered service in 1984 mere months before the Marquez Junta took over the country. After the 1986 Revolution, the new government invested more in the aircraft and multiple variants have been created. The RM-284 serves as one of Idacua's frontline fighters, and is offered for export.
