Nations of Wintreath, what is your version of the Medal of Honor?

Mine is the Sakirian Royal Cross (for the Kingdom Era) and formerly the Jenseian Cross (for the Republic Era, named after President Julio Jensey, who rebuilt the country after the Second World War).

Assun Cross for Councilors.
Vinvane Cross for Military.
Alexander Cross for Extraordinary Actions for Unorthodox times (like the Kill Orca Incident)

Decrypting Ursian coded message:

File #:5299
Official Name: The Dragonstorm
Code Name: Roaring Wind

Background:
While The Ursian Empire highest priority and tactic in war is, "don't start one in the first place," the Ursians were still wary of their own allies. The 80 year anniversary of the only naval battle in the Winter Sea during the Alliance-Coalition war is barely remembered by other countries. Not Ursia however, which most of the citizens foresaw the coming smoke and shells which still horrifies most civilians, most especially the people who live in Arctoros Beach. After that major incident, and then the Kill Orca Incident, Ursia revised a second priority. "If the hostile country started it, and no diplomatic means were reached, give them hell." This is what all Ursian High Councilors, from Alexander II all the way till the current one, Alexander IV, have been doing. Since that incident, the Ursian military has grown larger, and still retained their formidable scientific advantage. After the bombing of Gravity Union in The stigyan triumvirate and the incidents that led to the War on Terror in Sakiria, Ursia knew its Stratogrowler fighter aircraft were not well suited for urban combat. In the case that terrorists or insurgents would invade Ursia, these planes would be used to counter them. This would lead into the Dragonstorm. However, if even the Ursian military was compromised, a protocol is executed to give all of WARPP the necessary countermeasures against them. Thus why this file and transmission exists and was sent not by a councilor, but by AI.

Design History:
After the unveiling of the Stigyan Airfleet, the Sakirian Interplanetary navy, the Uniopolis unicorns, and various other WARPP countries airforces being revamped, Ursia went back to the assessment board. By all accounts, Ursia is not a country you want to mess with. With the third highest Scientific Advancement, along with a military still above average among others, and the 3rd most populous country after XXURBANXX and New Narag Empire, the Ursian military is formidable. But, after the showcasing of said air fleets, Ursia was not comfortable. We may be allies, but the Battle off Arctoros Beach is a memory no one in Ursia can ignore. Thus a requirement plan was sent to every aircraft manufacturing company in Ursia. Each one would deliver their most advanced technology and come together to make a high quality plane with easy manufacturing and be given the most advanced technologies the UCVP can offer. The Dragonstorm was the result of this.

Details:
The Dragonstorm is a medium sized fighter jet which looks more like a dart than an actual plane. The body of the plane looks cylindrical, compared to the more flat surfaces of modern planes. It also has two extremely narrow wings, large enough to generate lift with its 4 VTOL turbine engines, but small enough to look like the width was equal the height of the plane. In front was a cockpit, fit for one person, also having a headset which was the UCVP. It has a slanted tail piece that made a V for stability due to the high speeds it generated. On the top of each wing, attached to the body, was two engine like things. Those were the sonic emitters that generate the chrono sonic boom. The cylindrical part of the plane is actually the engine. Underneath the cockpit, are some bomb bay doors. It did not use regular munitions, but rather a focusing sphere that releases chrono sonic beams.

Tactics:
The Dragonstorm has a cruising speed of Mach 7, thanks to the engine it has on board. It is even capable of Mach 10, however that is ill advised. Other than its sonic weaponry, it also haS the most flares and radar jamming material out of any aircraft of it size. So if AA batteries were aiming at it, whether it be heat seeking or radar using, it was going to have a difficult time tracking it, much less hitting the thing. A Dragonstorm in usual Ursian squadrons would use its sonic boom to clear the skies of enemy fighters, and then use its sonic focusing sphere on armored targets like tanks with it VTOL to hunt down armored groups. At no point would a Dragonstorm pilot be insane enough to take on AA batteries unless they had air superiority. The S/E Sky Hunter siege ships would usually take those on with their blackhole railguns on board.

Weaknesses:
The Dragonstorm is powerful, seemingly protected by the laws of physics itself. However, it is not invincible. For every dragon, there is a weapon that can pierce through their scaly hide. Dragonstorms hold lots of avionics, engines, VTOL engines, and sonic weaponry. Due to this, the general framework and body of the Dragonstorm is weak. Thus, constant fire in airspace is the key to making them tense and stressed as they know their planes are quite fragile if the flair and anti-radar material is not working. Warning however, like all Ursian vehicles and aircraft, if upgraded, they can warp with a UCVP.
