The Mekaniq Mi-9.C Fatalwe is a Rezese model of twin-engine, variable-geometry heavy tactical fighter. The Fatalwe was designed as a long range interceptor and air-superiority fighter, although later upgrades have enabled it to act in the strike role.
At the time of its introduction, it was one of only four heavy fighters in the world optimised for the air dominance role, alongside the Tsurushiman Kai-79, Belfrasian Aigios Viper and the Arthuristan Dynamics/Ahuriri Aerospace Cyclone jointly developed by Arthurista and Onekawa-Nukanoa on the basis of the Viper. It remains highly competitive today through the application of periodic upgrade packages. The latest Mi-9C7 upgrade program, implemented between 2015-2020, introduced the REA-7 AESA radar, pod-mounted IRST, as well as an improved self-defence electronic countermeasures suite.
