The Toring V-99 Eclipse is a large military transport aircraft that was developed for the Zamastanian Air Force in the 1990s by Toring Industries. The V-99 commonly performs tactical and strategic airlift missions, transporting troops and cargo throughout the world; additional roles include medical evacuation and airdrop duties. The transport is in service with the ZDAF along with air arms of Quetana, Elbresia, Emmiria, Caspiaa, Kuresa, Qolaysia, and multiple other nations. The type played a key logistical role during the 1999-2005 War in Vulkaria, as well as in providing humanitarian aid in the aftermath of various natural disasters, including the 2021 Temebok tsunami and the 2021 Tasiastan floods.
