Su-37 Terminator

The Sukhoi Su-37 Terminator is a super-maneuverable thrust vectoring fighter derived from an Su-35 prototype. The Su-37 represents a new level of capability compared with the Su-27, Su-30, and Su-35. In the Ace Combat series, the Terminator is often a high-grade aircraft with high stats. It has been featured in many Ace Combat games; Ace Combat 2, Ace Combat 04, 5, Zero, X, Xi, to the recent Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault.

The Terminator is arguably one of the most popular aircraft in Ace Combat history, largely because of it's standing as the signature plane of the Yellow Squadron from Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, as well as being commonly associated with Yellow 13, the team's flight leader. As such, the Yellows' signature paintwork has appeared in all subsequent installments of the Ace Combat series post-Shattered Skies (unlockable paint scheme in 5/0/X and donwloadable skin for the Sea Flanker in 6, to be exact). Furthermore, the Yellow paint scheme is also appears in Joint Assault.

Trivia

 * The Su-37's name is erroneous: the NATO designation is not Terminator, but "Flanker-F".
 * One of the Terminator's SP paint schemes in Ace Combat: Joint Assault is the distinctive black & red paintwork of the 9th Tactical Fighter Squadron Strigon from Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation-- this is due to the obvious lack of the Strigon Team's signature Su-33 Flanker-D in the game.
