The Kaikias is a Syaran heavy bomber currently being developed by the Commonality Air Force. The Kaikias is expected to serve as a long-range strategic stealth bomber for the CAF, intended for precision strike missions and weapons delivery. The Kaikias was first revealed in 2017 and undertook its first flight in December 2020. Two prototypes have been built so far. There has been no indication from the CAF when Kaikias is expected to enter service, with popular estimates ranging from 2023-2025. The Kaikias is expected to be able to carry both land-attack munitions and anti-ship missiles. It is the third stealth aircraft produced by Syara after the Periphas and the Aeolus.
