Part of the Post-War 'Outrider' Universe, this is (A bad upload of) the Молния (Lightning) Strike bomber, belonging to the Unified Stellar Sovereignty or Russia. (USSR)

Often deployed from USSR Land Bases, Space Stations or T-990 Battle-Carriers. the Lightning is the Mainstay of USSR Space Superiority.

While slower than the USSR 'Thunder' Star Superiority Fighter, it is more heavily armored and armed.

It shares the main weapons of the Thunder, with twin Gauss cannons above the Engines. (#2)
These are fuelled by Liquid Mercury cells, which are drawn into bolts and accelerate, becoming plasma as it leaves the barrel, causing heavy kinetic and thermal damage at a high rate of fire. However, they have a very short range.

The USSR Mainstay, however, is the Saber missile launcher (#9). The Lightning carries two, slung under the front of the fuselage, each carrying 6 rounds and featuring 3 barrels a peice.

Each of these can track a seperate target, and all six missiles can be fired at different targets in under thiry seconds, allowing a squadron to suppress large ammounts of enemmy fighters, bombers, or precisely strike smaller armored targets or installations with high explosives.

The Main objective of the Lightning, however, is to deploy ultra-heavy 'Silencer' Anti-Ship Torpedoes. These are launched from the forward bottom torpedo bay. (#11)
Silencers, are incredibly long, and as such, A Lightning will only carry two. Each is tipped with a high energy micro-termonuclear fission warhead, which is detonated by a first EMP blast.

These have proved to be devastating to an unshielded ship.

The Lightning is flown by a single pilot, seated in the armored front canopy (#1).
While control of the Torpedo bay and main gauss cannons are manual, controled via the flight yolk, the Sabre A-2-All missiles are controlled via an Eye-tracking, voice operated targetting system that merges the Pilot's flight helmet with the ship computer, allowing a pilot to designate a target that he can see, simply by speaking aloud.

The rear of the fuselage is mainly given up to the main fuel tanks (#3). These are set between the engines, behind the cockpit, and are split into two fuel 'cells', so that if one is ruptured, not all fuel is lost.

The Engines (#10) work by manner of controlled particle fusion. Highly volatile fuel particles are combined, which provides an excess of pure directed energy, which becomes ioised when passing through the engine guide rotors, and thrust vectoring nozzle (#4).
These Ionised particles can then be manioulated by an advanced electromagnetic field projector surrounding the tail (#5), allowing the Lightning to make incredibly tight turns, while allowing for the engine contruction to remain more heavy-duty than functional.

This proves for excellent engine power for moving the payload, as well as low mainetenance and great reliability.

Atop each engine pod, on either side of the ship, are radiatiors, which shunt heat into space where needed, especially during prolonged firing and high-velocity maneuvers.

In the case of sweeping turns and acceleration at low speeds, the wings (#7) are tipped with tiny maneuvering nozzles (#6), Fuelled by simple atmospheric gasses, and are primarily used for maneuvering inside hangars, where high-energy radioactive emissions are not desired.

Unlike many VTOL Equipped Starships, the Lightning is not capable of true VTOL and can only sustain a 'Hover' whithin gravity fields, if it's nose is pointed 45 degrees upwards.

As such, it is one of the last ships to feature a set of wheels as landing gear, which fold up into specialised pods. (#8)

Finally, the Lightning is coated in two inches of Fibersteel Armor plating, a series of layers of woven steel and aluminium mesh, that helps dissipate electromagnetic and thermal damages.
The entire armor plate is then coated with ceramic material, which helps deflect and dampen ballistic impacts, and protect against shrapnel.

Concentrated fire, however, even from light starfighters is enough to cause fatal damage to the ship, and as such, Lightnings sould never be fielded without an appropriate escort.
