The U-7 Dravec is a twin engine attack aircraft in Just Cause 3.

Appearance

It's based on a fourth-generation jet fighter, but is actually an attack aircraft and not a fighter. It resembles several real aircraft:

• Sukhoi 27 - general shape.
• Boeing F/A-18E/F - front of the fuselage, tailplane and engines.
• MiG-29 - rest of the fuselage.
• F-16 - wings, nose and canopy.
• Eurofighter Typhoon - engine air intakes.
• Sukhoi 50/57 - "leading edge root extensions".

In the Just Cause Universe, it resembles the Rage-Johnston F6 Comet.

Performance

Slightly slower than the CS7 Thunderhawk.

It is equipped for a fighter/bomber role, armed with unguided rockets and bombs.

Given that the airplane is a fighter/bomber, it makes an excellent ground attack aircraft. Smaller military settlements can be wiped out in a couple of good strafing runs.

The Dravec isn't as strong in the air to air combat as it only has unguided missiles and no cannons.

Described in the rebel drop info as: "Rain fire from the sky with the U-7 Dravec, equipped with both rockets and bombs for carpeting your enemies in chaos."

Trivia

• The name might be referencing the U2 spy plane, an American plane used to spy on the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
• Dravec is Czech for predator.
• It is the first aircraft in the Just Cause Game Series equipped with bombs.
• Attempting to drop bombs when you are flying upside down will cause the bombs to hit your plane, killing Rico.
• The jet is equipped with an air brake. See below picture.
• When one of these takes off from Vulture and Rico is not driving, it will fly in the direction of Boom Island with a few turns on the way. The plane will not stop.
