Little is known about the '''Airborne Fortress''', expect that, based on its appearance, it looks like a mix between the [[Belka]]n [[XB-0|XB-0 Hresvelgr]] & the [[Leasath]] [[Gleipnir|XB-337 Gleipnir]]. It's propelled by four engines (which contains 6-8 engines each). It has very few armaments of AA guns and SAM's - although it's lightly armed, the Airborne Fortress is still a very dangerous target to deal with.

Description

Near the end of the Kalugan rebellion, the pro-government forces, aided by the Phoenix Squadron, destroyed the final enemy stronghold. Shortly thereafter, allied forces discovered that the enemy was in control of a colossal airship. The Phoenix Squadron scrambled in pursuit of the airship, but by the time they were airborne it was too late to stop the fortress on the ground. The group intercepted the cruiser over the Kalugan ocean as it was en-route to the capital city, and a final confrontation ensued. Despite its superior firepower, the Phoenix Squadron destroyed the ship's engines, which led its descent into the ocean.

Characteristics

Little is known about the Airborne Fortress, except that, based on its appearance, it looks like a mix between the Belkan XB-0 Hresvelgr & the Leasath XB-337 Gleipnir. It's propelled by four engines (which contains 6-8 engines each). It has very few armaments of AA guns and SAM's - although it's lightly armed, the Airborne Fortress is still a very dangerous target to deal with.
