Hatchetman, SF/A-5

ARMSCOR/GIAT SF/A-5 Hatchetman Aerospace Fighter

                    '''History & Data '''

The SF/A-5 was designed between the second and Third Solar War by Armscor and was to fill some of the roles of the SF/A-100 Thunderbolt IV but was meant to be as nimble and easily piloted as other standard fighters.

Shortly before the Third Solar War the Venusian military gladly adopted the fighter as their main intra-atmospehric ground attack fighter.

In 2510 the Hatchetman saw an upgrade to the C model with more advanced electronics and modified by the Jovians to be launched from modified freighters being used as mother craft.

After the Third Solar War in 2520 the Venusian/Jovian militaries decided to go with an upgraded SF/A-5 rather than go with a new design like the UEF and Martian Republic did.
