The Commonality Air Force purchased a first batch of 64 aircraft in 1995. Production rights were later acquired in 1999. The T-35 (designated by the CAF as ''Zephyr'') won out over the [[Cacerta|Cacertian]] [[AFASF-12 Drago Air Superiority Fighter]], and the [[Acrea|Acrean]] {{wp|Eurofighter Typhoon|Typhoon}} due to it's superior air-to-ground capabilities. The Zephyr served as the mainline fighter for Syara during the [[Imerti Conflict]] and the [[Zemplen War]]. While one of the best aircraft to serve in both wars, Syara's low production of the Zephyr rendered the CAF at a distinct numerical disadvantage against the [[Ruvelkan Imperial Air Force]]. Despite the obstacles, the Syarans were largely satisfied with the performance of the Zephyr and considered it the best fighter of the war, [[Flying Aces of the Zemplen War|producing several aces]]. After the war's conclusion the CAF compiled it's information and research into the performance of the Zephyr for Ossorian review, resulting in the production of the C/D block.
The C/D variant, known still as the Zephyr in Syara, remains the CAF's primary fighter aircraft and is expected to eventually reach more than 1,000 total airframes.

The T-35 Séideán (English: gust) is a fourth-generation twin-engine multirole fighter designed and built by the Ossorian aerospace defense company Tionscail Ríoga Aeraspáis (TRA). The Séideán uses a canard and delta wing configuration as well as a relaxed stability design and fly-by-wire technology for increased maneuverability. It is designed to make use of CSN-standard weapons and perform a wide array of missions, including air supremacy, interdiction, aerial reconnaissance, ground support, and anti-ship strike.
