The Kowsir-2 is an Emmirian carrier-capable supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, all-weather-capable variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. Introduced in 1980 and seeing significant use during the Kuye War, it is Emmiria's main fighter jet and serves in the militaries of several nations internationally. As the Emmirian military begins modernization, the Kowsir-2 has slowly begun to be phased out in favor of Zamastanian fighters like the Z-14 Osprey and Z-17 Condor, but the Kowsir-2 still sees widespread usage.
