For the Empire's Navy Generals, the astounding performance of the Air Force's "Attack-11" in the Ceylon Kingdom's rebellion suppression operation was nothing short of a resounding slap in the face.
That year, the Empire Navy redefined the performance indicators for the "Attack-X," directly abandoning the supersonic flight capability.
After the adjustment, stealth capabilities were prioritized, followed by a combat radius of 2000 kilometers, and a low detectability battlefield awareness and communication system. Since precision-guided ammunition represented by laser-guided bombs had matured, the Navy no longer emphasized payload capacity, reducing it from 12 tons to 4 tons in the internal bomb bay, with an additional 6 external heavy load points of 1500 kilograms each.
As for takeoff weight, the limit remained at 40 tons.
