The Nimrod is a recon aircraft capable of performing bomber roles. It has been rarely featured in the Ace Combat series.
History
During the Circum-Pacific War, a flight of Yuktobanian Nimrods were heading for Port St. Hewlett in an effort to sink the already-damaged 3rd Osean Naval Fleet led by the aircraft carrier OFS Kestrel. All of them were shot down by the Wardog Squadron without sinking the Kestrel and much of her remaining escort ships.[1]
During the Emmeria-Estovakia War, the Estovakian Air Force deployed Nimrods in an attempt to sink an Emmerian support fleet near Rargom Beach. They were all shot down by elements of the Republic of Emmeria Air Force.[2]

Trivia
- It is possible for Nimrods shot down in Narrow Margin to crash into the Kestrel's deck. However, this causes no damage whatsoever to the ship, and the mission proceeds as normal.
- In Ace Combat 6, the Nimrods also carry air-to-air missiles and will use them against Emmerian aircraft. They will never engage the player.
