The Viitasaari Viit-11 is a twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, multirole combat jet, designed to fulfil the roles of both a fighter and attack aircraft. Designed by Vertega Oppirus, the V-10 was derived from the earlier Viit-7B interceptor in the 1960s for use by the Aitic Air Force and Granzerian Navy.
The Viit-11 has a top speed of Mach 2.2. It can carry a wide variety of bombs and missiles, including air-to-air and air-to-ground, supplemented by the 23-mm LTyk-23 cannon. It is powered by two Kainuu KKSk-6II afterburning turbojet engines.
