The Kaminski KaF-35 Orao (Serbian:"Орао", "Eagle") is a fourth generation fighter aircraft designed in Nikolia. It has been developed by the Kaminski design bureau along with KaF-40 as an air superiority fighter to counter the modern aircraft which were the products of the arms race between GHawkins and the Blackhelm Confederacy.
While originally oriented towards combat against any enemy aircraft, some of the KaF-35's were modernised and furnished to multirole fighters capable of performing different kinds of tasks, both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. There are two main variants of the aircraft, naval version, the KaF-35K and the heavily modernised version, KaF-37.
Development
In the late 1960s during the arms race, when the relations between GHawkins and the Blackhelm Confederacy were the coldest, the Nikolian Ministry of Defense saw that the existing KaF-32 aircraft could not compete with newer foreign aircraft. The ministry sent its new tactical and technological requirements to Kaminski.
