Ares Siren

{||} The Ares Siren is a twin-engine, single-seat, light   developed and manufactured by Ares Aerospace. It was brought to market in the early 2000s and was first introduced in the SiWallqanqan Royal Air Force. The largest power currently fielding the Siren is Tiperyn, who adopted it in 2004 for service in its Realm Armada and Realm Aero Services.

The Siren was initiated as a private venture by Ares in the 1990s with the intent of creating a high performance light fighter that it could market as an export aircraft to less wealthy countries that could not afford more expensive high capability fighters. The fighter is notable for its high thrust-to-weight ratio enabling speeds of up to Mach 2.1, supercruise capability, and extreme agility. While its two-engine configuration is generally accepted as more expensive and fuel inefficient compared to single-engine equivalents, it improves aircraft safety and survivability by providing redundancy should one engine be disabled.

The Siren is capable of a variety of air-to-air combat, ground strike, and maritime strike roles. It first saw combat during the Nasiri Civil War in Tiperyn service.
