Give me a land border, 5-6 years of preperation and 1/1000th of their budgets and i will bury both the USAF and PLAAF simultaneously in any regional conflict.

A DR.1-M with JATO type rocket packs fired at maximum altitude, a pressurized flight suit for the pilot, nitrous injectors for the engine and a lot of luck technically meets the requirements.

BEHOLD! CHATGPT AND /WSR/ HAS SHOW US THE FUTURE OF AIR COMBAT!

>The props would be bigger but the size for two MD-550s is about right.

It would be more maneuverable than the original, it could do flat spins better assuming that was actually possible. The guns would go underneath, i'm picturing a modular mount with 2x 7.62 for anti drone work, a 12.7mm for general duty or a 30mm AGL for ground attack.

In theory it could mount a KPV, however i have several recoil related questions.
