Production History
Service History
Used By		The Kathern Air Force

The Kug-72 was built to serve as the first air superiority fighter of the Kathern air force after its formation. It is modeled off of Calleniams SeF-33A Prowler and the DAF-005 F-1 Wasp. The Kug-72 was intended to be introduced in to the air force in 2056, but due to funding issues the Kug-72 was delayed until its introduction into the air force in September 7th, 2057. The Kug-72 would only be the Kathern air force for 2 years as Leken Dynamics had started work on the Leken-18 Skywing. The Kug-72 never saw combat.
