The third and final generation of the main NS fighter the F-10S, known as the SNG, has begun flight testing. The SNG has an improved tactical computer system, 3D vector thrust and an improved weapons bay. Fifty SNGs are on order to join the 80 F-10SIMs and F-10SEPs in service. Deliveries are expected to begin next year.
The SNG will allow the Clone Wars era F-10A to finally be retired. Although they have been updated to ASE standard the A is now pretty obsolete and long overdue replacement. The NS Air Corps have no plans for what will follow on from the SNG though it is likely the older planes will be bought up to SNG standard in the 2120s.
