The Srokkyr is a Kyrasi 4.5th generation supersonic, twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multirole aircraft designed and built by Abarc Abdallah. Equipped with a wide range of weapons, the Srokkyr is intended to perform the roles of a air superiority aircraft and a tactical attack aircraft, especially interdiction, ground support, and anti-surface strikes. If needed, it can also carry out nuclear deterrence missions. The Srokkyr has three variants. The T-4MW1A is specified for interdiction, the T-4MW1B is specified for ground support, and the T-4MW1C is specified for anti-surface warfare. The Levantin, Srokkyr, and Vofesip Management Agency (LSVMA) is the prime customer.
In the late 1970s, the Kyrasi Air Force and Kyrasi Navy sought to replace and consolidate their existing fleets of aircraft. In order to reduce development costs and boost prospective sales, Several Levantine defence companies entered into an arrangement to produce an agile multi-purpose "Future Levantine Fighter Aircraft" (which would become the T-3WM Levantin). Subsequent disagreements over workshare and differing requirements led the company Abarc Abdallah to pursue its own development programme. AA built a technology demonstrator that first flew in July 1986 as part of an eight-year flight-test programme, paving the way for approval of the project.
