The JU-10 Hammer is a lightweight, single-engine, fourth-generation multi-role combat aircraft developed jointly by Haduastan and Tasiastan, with guidance from Zamastan. The JU-10 can be used for multiple roles, including interception, ground attack, anti-ship, and aerial reconnaissance. It can deploy diverse ordnance, including air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, including anti-ship missiles, and a 23 mm twin-barrel autocannon. Powered by an afterburning turbofan, it has a top speed of Mach 1.6. The JU-10 is the backbone and workhorse of the Tasiastan Air Force, complementing the Z-11 Eagle at approximately half the cost.
