Nagajima YAGR-3A

The Nagajima YAGR-3A is a dual-engine ground-attack jet VTOL, originally developed for the Imperial Izumo Air Force. One of the first jet VTOL gunships in the world, the YAGR-3A was developed in Izumo. Initially designed as an experimental vertical take off interceptor aircraft, the wingless YAGR-3A was later adapted into a light gunship armed with a powerful 35mm chaingun for light infantry support in enclosed areas, where even helicopters are unable to go. Manufactured during the Second Interbellum and during World War Three, 1,110 units were built. It is used only by the Imperial Izumo Military.

It has mostly been replaced on the front lines by the YAGR-4b, which was developed from the YAGR-3A. They are still used as infantry supporting aircraft for use in enclosed areas, such as urban or underground terrain.
