While the government is focused on building military complexes to accommodate the now ever growing number of recruits and national service responders, the bulk of the military intelligentia is instead focused on quickly modernizing and upgrading the defunct Trigunian designs to meet the demands of today. 

And today, the Nadiyan Cooperative Forces released a statement announcing the start of test flights for the newly released NC-99, standing for Nadiyan defense Compound - 99, the new designs is an updated version of the old TC-24 aircraft that used to be deployed by the Trigunian Imperial Air Force during the first and second Trigunian wars especially in the battle for Kaiserberg and Zarvospol.

The NC-99 is a twin-engine stealth multirole fighter aircraft developed by a joint Nadiyan-Egelian military research commission, the jet incorporates stealth technology unique to the Trigunian Air Force. In addition to stealth, the fighter emphasizes supermaneuverability in all aircraft axes, capacious internal payload bays for multirole versatility, and advanced sensor systems such as active phased-array radar as well as the integration of these systems to achieve high levels of automation.

In the Nc-99's design, Svetovit cited the Venus Traps TC-24 as the baseline for a supermaneuverable stealth fighter, but addressed what the bureau considered to be the limitations, such as the inability to use thrust vectoring to induce roll and yaw moments, a lack of space for weapons bays between the engines resulting in insufficient payload, and complications for post-stall recovery if thrust vectoring fails. In particular, Svetovit considered the Tc-24 design unsuitable as a multirole fighter required for the NCMAM due to the limited payload that was too focused on air-to-air missiles.

The NCF also emphasized the fact that the aircraft will continue being tested and improved throughout the year with an expected start of fabrication in the third quarter of 5700 or first quarter of 5701 which coincides with the planned inauguration of a military air complex in southern Brakav. The quick development of the aircraft also highlights Egelion's increasing demand for better weapons and vehicules in the wakes of their involvement in the New Verham civil war and having a friendly Nadiya as both a neighbor and member of the Kerisian Empire also helps them meet their defense needs even faster.
