The P.125 ECR is an stealth interdictor and strike fighter introduced in version 0.2260.
Description[]
An unrealized concept of British Aerospace, it was first conceived by studies concerning the replacement of the SEPECAT Jaguar or Harrier by a supersonic multirole jet, which were followed by joint British-US research on lift jet systems, the latter of which produced the F-35 Lightning II. In the 1990s, the project was cancelled in favor of British involvement in the Joint Strike Fighter program.
Appearing in its CTOL (conventional take-off/landing) form, the P.125 distinguishes itself from other aircraft by having a fully sealed cockpit. Dubbed "Synthetic Vision", the armored canopy uses an array of cameras to transmit outside information to the pilot, who sits highly reclined inside the aircraft. However, the system relays relatively pixelated images, reducing visibility, and leaves it susceptible to ECM interference. In line with its SEAD role, it is armed with an ALARM anti-radiation missile.
