The Mi-10.2 Taguato is a single-engine multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by XXX for the SANTHFORCE. Originally designed as an air superiority day fighter, it has since been converted into an all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 2,400 aircraft have been produced and it serves as the primary fighter of the SANTHFORCE. The Royal Redisan Air Force also operates several squadrons. The aircraft's key features include a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, an ejection seat reclined 30 degrees from vertical to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot, and the first use of a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight control system that helps to make it an agile aircraft. It has an internal cannon and 11 locations for mounting weapons and other mission equipment.

The Taguato prototype would be licensed and modified by Arthuristan Dynamics in the late-1970's to create the Arthuristan Dynamics Fury, a navalised fighter featuring a slightly enlarged airframe.
