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-4WM1A is specified for interdiction, the T-4WM1B is specified for ground support, and the T-4WM1C 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, and leading to the creation of the T-WM1 Srokkyr, which after several changes would evolve into the T-4WM1.
Introduced in 2028, the T-4WM1 Srokkyr is being produced for both the Kyrasi Air Force and for carrier-based operations in the Kyrasi Navy. It has been marketed for export to several countries and was selected for purchase by the Hishmar Air Force. The T-4MW1 Srokkyr is considered one of the most advanced and capable warplanes in the world and among the most successful internationally.
