Made for me by
apron55 who had to suffer under my scatterbrainedness until, thanks to proper prodding from him, I realized I actually am able to write a short listing with data.

This picture shows an Asgardian Silbervogel ( Silverbird ) - or rather the slightly bulkier Silbertaube ( Silverdove ) triggering its solid fuel engines to climb to orbit after having evaded two AA rockets from a Reich patrol flight hard on its heels.

Whilst the original Silbervogel was able to carry about four metric tons of cargo, the Silbertaube can carry only about one metric ton, which still means , usually, five to ten people additionally to its crew of three.
The Silvertaube is made from lighter metals and has a more efficient engine than the Silbervogel. As such, it could, given an identical usage profile, carry more than twice as much as its ancestor.
But having to be able to launch from ground unassisted and needing to get up higher, this gain is lost to yet more fuel.

Two "Wasserfall" rockets passing below the fleeing shuttle are the standard supersonic anti aircraft missle of the Reich.
The Reich manufactures them in a multitude of variants, from cable controlled to heatseekers to visual / brightness seekers to radio controlled... Just to make sure no defensive measure works agaisnt all the possible variants.
Their warheads can equally be shrapnel, F/A airburst or incendiary airmine.

Manta Heavy Airframe; AWACS surveillance and rocket launcher platform / orbital interceptor ( "Manta Ray" ).
AWACS version carries an AWACS-Like radar-disc on its back. The Reich calls them "LaRaMo" - Langstrecken Radar Monitor ( Long range radar monitor ).
A formation to destroy (low-) orbital targets consists out of 5 Manta's, one of which is the radar carrier and the others are weapons carriers which then lift their noses to the sky to fire their heavy rockets from their under-wing-carriages or their internal storage bays. These rockets are descendants of the V2 / A4 rocket, and are so big that the Mantas can carry only two in their bomb bays, and another four under their wings. The "LaRaMo" can't carry any, due to the penalty the radar equipment inflicts.
A formation to intercept and destroy targets inside the athmosphere consists out of a single LaRaMo Manta and a flight of four Stachelrochen ( Stingray ) high altitude heavy fighters. See below for more details on those.
A Manta has a 7 man crew ( Pilot, Co-Pilot, Electronics/Engineer ; AWACS: 3x RADAR operator, C³-Coordinator ; Rocket-Platform: Weapons Engineer, 2x Gunner/Missle-Controller, C³-Coordinator ).

####
"Stachelrochen" High Altitude Interceptor / Ground Attag Gunship ( "Stingray" ).
It carries a streamlined flat turret on its back or on its belly, and has two machine guns mounted in its nose.
It is capable of supersonic flight, though, like most Reich aircrafts, not for very long.
Due to its rounded and smooth design with nearly no flat surfaces, it is hard to detect on radar.
In the HAI ( shark ) configuration, the upper turret carries a 50mm railgun, capable of firing four shots, one every 10s.
After that, its capacitors are discharged and need about 5 minutes to recharge.
The railgun can be used meaningful only high up in the athmosphere, where the projectiles are then capable to reach targets in the orbit ( typical prey: Asgard's OWL satellites or escaping shuttles).
In the GAG configuration, the turret module is taken out of the aircrafts body, and replaced with a turret on the lower side of the craft, carryign a 50mm machine cannon, able to fire various types of ammunitions, from shrapnel and airmine over HE to incendendiary rounds. This is mostly used to to attack ground targets or Asgardian shuttles below the Stachelrochen.
The Stingray is a 3-seater ( Pilot, Electronics, Gunner ; latter two seated right and left behind the pilot, back to back ).

A certain Golden Retriever girl needs to have experienced flight crews for her project to settle the outer system of Tau Ceti.
And all the human males these crews can scrape off the planetary surface, and from the jaws of the Reich, too.
So situations like this are something occuring more and more often as her plans get accepted and supported by the Canine Council.
