Zogavia G-14

The Zogavia G-14 Phoenix is an Samot supersonic, twin-engine, all-weather, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. The Phoenix was developed for the Samot Republican Air Force to replace its aging G-9 aircraft. The G-14 was the first of the Samot G Series fighters, which were designed incorporating air combat experience against League fighters during the Central Artemian War. It is a heavily modified derivative of the Nieuport-Saulnier Aquilon. The G-14 first flew on 21 December 1980 and made its first deployment in 1989 with the Samot Republican Air force during Operation Ilya, where they provided escort for bombers. The G-14 is the Samot Air force's primary air superiority and multirole fighter platform to this day. The All-Weather Navigation and Targeting Apparatus with Infrared Systems (AWNTAIS) pod system was added in the 2000s and the Phoenix began performing precision Close-Air-Support missions. During the first stage of the Tovlis War, the Samot Air force's fleet of G-14 Phoenixes were not able to establish air superiority due to the rapid destruction of airbases and support facilities in the northern provinces. The G-14 suffered from fuel inefficiency problems and were not able to sustain an air presence from the other side of the Tovlis Mountains. During the later stages of the war however, the Phoenix proved very potent as a Land-Based interceptor and air superiority fighter when allowed to operate from Gardic Air bases near the border. Allegedly the G-14 Phoenixes were able to achieve a 4-1 kill to loss ratio against Gradinskan Su-27s and Ck-1s. Interestingly, more G-14 Phoenixes were lost to friendly fire and mechanical failure than to enemy fire. 14 Phoenixes were lost to enemy fire whereas 20 were lost due to other reasons.
