The Clone Air Force has unveiled the third generation of one of it's key aircraft, the K72 Mustang. The K72 is a tactical reconnaissance aircraft, with EW, Elint (and a number of other more specialised roles) also performed by the large fleet.
The K72NT has newer and more powerful engines, though with a reduced infrared and noise signature, a redesigned wing with a slightly larger span and an upgraded avionics system. Flight tests are due to begin next year, the CAF could order several hundred to replace older K72s in service.
