The S-25 Sparrow is a Gladysynthian twin-engine supermaneuverable fighter aircraft intended as a direct competitor for the large Zamastanian fourth-generation jet fighters such as the Z-10 Harrier and Z-11 Eagle, with 3,530-kilometre (1,910 nmi) range, heavy aircraft ordnance, sophisticated avionics and high maneuverability. The S-25 was designed for air superiority missions, and subsequent variants are able to perform almost all aerial warfare operations. The fighter jet has seen action in the Second Danaska War, the Third Danaska War, and the Toleruna Insurgency.
