Tessner Tab-4 Stratogast

Development started as the "Future Bomber" (Zukunftsbomber) project under Basilikar Vilhelm IV in the aftermath of the Third Kyrossic War, with the aim of creating an aircraft capable of penetrating Arshavati air defenses. After fierce competition and a barrage of alleged corporate espionage, a design by Tessner was selected in 1985. However, the cost of each unit eventually ballooned to over ₰700 million, and the total program cost meanwhile averaged ₰2.28 billion per aircraft. The price tag aroused considerable controversy in the press, and Basilikar Sindolph XIV reportedly even considered cancelling it altogether. The first Stratogast nonetheless entered service with the Himmelkorps in 2000. Stratogast bombers later played a decisive role in the Fifth Kyrossic War, leading to a substantial shift in public perception of the aircraft. Basilikar Raphael VIII purchased 5 more in 2016 after one was shot down over Kyrossia.

The Stratogast is capable of all-altitude attack missions up to 15,000 m (50,000 feet), with a range of more than 4,800 nautical miles (5,500 mi; 9,000 km) on internal fuel and almost 9,000 nautical miles (10,000 mi; 16,000 km) with one midair refueling.
