Clearly, the Military’s upper echelons were still very interested in the T-22 Tank. However, due to budget constraints, Minister Raul could only limit the tank procurent to the scope of one division.
The good news is that large-scale warfare is still a distant concern for Australasia; on this basis, there is no imdiate need for massive tank equipnt.
Before war erupts, tanks could possibly undergo model upgrades. Current large-scale equipnt tanks may beco obsolete in the future.
Apart from tanks, the fifth-generation military aircraft have also been developed in the aviation sector.
Of course, these are Australasia’s fifth-generation military aircraft, which are basically the fifth product of military aircraft, unrelated to the generational assessnt of advanced planes in the market.
Although the aircraft factory has been spun off, it remains under the Royal Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, which is part of the Royal financial group.
Therefore, the military aircraft developed and manufactured by the aircraft factory still use the previous models, naly what were previously known as the Eagle reconnaissance aircraft, the Wild Tiger fighter, and the Phantom bomber.
Just like the tanks, the developnt of the previous, fourth-generation military aircraft was completed eight or nine years ago.
Bear in mind that tank and aircraft technology are just starting, and eight or nine years is enough ti for other countries to upgrade their aircraft across several generations.
The slow progress in the developnt of the fifth-generation military aircraft is also because Australasia’s previous fourth-generation military aircraft were already quite advanced, even surpassing the level of World War II period aircraft in so respects.
When discussing the fifth-generation military aircraft, it’s impossible not to ntion a very important military technology mastered by Australasia two years ago—the jet engine.
Before the invention of the jet engine, almost all aircraft relied on the propeller for power.
The power provided by propellers is limited, and both monoplane propeller planes and biplane propeller planes have their own flaws.
In comparison, the monoplane propeller planes, although having lower air resistance, also have less lift when ascending.
On the other hand, the biplane propeller plane gains at least a 20% increase in lift but faces higher air resistance when flying high in the sky.
Furthermore, there is a certain speed limit for propeller aircraft, and Australasia’s fourth-generation military aircraft have almost reached the limit of what propeller planes can achieve.
The delay in the developnt of the fifth-generation military aircraft, apart from the respective technical limitations, also owes to waiting for the research and developnt of the jet engine and its effective application to military aircraft, which is extrely crucial.
Upon arrival at the Aircraft Factory, Arthur and the high-ranking officials of the Military finally saw the new generation of military aircraft.
The first thing they saw was still the Eagle-5 Reconnaissance Aircraft.
Because it was equipped with an axial-flow jet engine, the fifth-generation military aircraft showed a vast difference in appearance from the fourth-generation aircraft.
Overall, it looked much better. Its design also conford more to aerodynamics, which made the speed of the aircraft faster.

Purely from the data, the Eagle-5 Reconnaissance Aircraft, because of being equipped with the latest jet engine, far surpassed the performance of the Eagle-4 Reconnaissance Aircraft and crushed the airplanes of other countries in all aspects.
This is also the most significant difference between jet planes and propeller planes. Historically, the first jet aircraft to enter combat during World War II, the sserschmitt 262, achieved a flight speed of 800 kiloters per hour, a figure more exaggerated than the current jet aircraft in Australasia.
This is normal, after all, Australasia’s jet engine has just been developed, and there are many issues that need to be resolved.
But there is still a long ti before World War II, with plenty of ti to improve the jet engine and catch up with, or even surpass, the jet engines of the World War II period.
Besides reconnaissance aircraft, the data for fighter aircraft and bombers are also very impressive.

Secondary armant: 2 MA-107 Maxim Heavy Machine Guns on external hardpoints
Because they were equipped with jet engines, the fifth-generation military aircraft really achieved a fighter aircraft speed that far exceeds reconnaissance aircraft. The Wild Tiger-5 Fighter has a formidable speed of nearly 400 kiloters per hour, making it the fastest man-made object in the world at present.
Yes, cars, trains, or airships cannot currently match the terrifying speed of nearly 400 kiloters per hour of the Wild Tiger-5 Fighter.
Perhaps the only things that can surpass this speed are the next generation of military aircraft.
