NOT FOR EXPORTBackgroundThe GI-12 Sabre is a VLO UCAV operated by the Imperial Daitōjin Navy. Derived from Zayasu's X-28 prototype, the aircraft is capable of carrying a payload of up to 4,500 kg out as far as 3,900 km without placing its crew in danger, all while leveraging the same flying wing design used on the P-3 Wraith stealth bomber. It entered limited service in 2019 and is anticipated to enter full production in the coming years.

Possesses ISR capabilitiesCost$300,000BackgroundThe Fukuda-built RI-11 Spider is a Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) currently in service with the Imperial Daitōjin Army and Navy. The system allows for backpack-sized portability and operation by a single person with a vertical launch capability, allowing it to be used out of confined, open-air spaces. The RI-11 is utilized by ordinance disposal technicians to receive an overview of a given potentially lethal situation. Due to its size and low crew requirement, it can be operated by tank crews as well, linking with sensors from across a given brigade as well as from allied aircraft to provide for better situational awareness.

|Cost$700 millionBackgroundThe P-11 Wraith is a strategic bomber under development for the Imperial Daitōjin Air Force by Zayasu Heavy Industries. As a part of the Extended Range Strike Bomber (ERS-B) program, it is to be a long range, stealth intercontinental strategic bomber for the Imperial Daitōjin Air Force, capable of delivering conventional weapons. The Air Force intends for the P-11 to replace the P-2 Archer and the P-3 Wraith by the early 2040s, as well as potentially the P-42 Lancer after that. The P-11 is set to make its first flight in 2023 and is projected to begin to enter service some time in the mid-20s.

AIM-2 Adder
Type 16ManufacturerZayasuTypeShort-range air-to-air missileLength3.02 mDiameter127 mmMass85.3 kgOther InfoModern variants equipped for all-aspect capabilityCost$381,000 - 604,000
(Variant dependent)BackgroundThe venerable AIM-2 Adder has seen service with the Imperial Fusanese Air Force and Navy for nearly seventy years, yet its first use in combat was not by the Fusanese, but rather, the Kalasinese in the early years of the war. Low development started in the late 1940s in order to provide guidance to a new family of modular rockets. This modularity meant that, when the AIM-2 entered service, it did so with the capability for new sensors to be installed, allowing it to live long past its initial shelf life and remain one of the most prolific families of Air to Air missiles on Mundus. Some, of course, claim that the AIM-2 is itself a copy of a foreign design, however Zayasu has consistently denied that throughout its history.

Although it remains in service, since the 1990s it has begun being phased out in favor of the more advanced AIM-10.
