The Kadelburg Ka-89 is an Englean dive bomber and ground attack aircraft, noted for its usage during the Second Great War by the Englean forces in Ventismar. The vehicle was also distributed by the Engleans through the Imperial Lend-Lease Program, in which nations such as Talvistova received and operated the aircraft. The Ka-89 was deemed obsolete by early 1942, and was phased out of usage in favour of ground-attack variants of the Kadelburg Kb-180 by late 1943.
