Related Matter: The Participation Of The YF-19 And The YF-21
The existence of the experimental YF-19 and YF-21 fighter aircraft isn't able to be removed when talking about the incident. The development of the two aircraft was driven to suspension, due to the regulated adoption of the unmanned X-9 fighter aircraft, which accompanied the completion of the Sharon model AI. Lieutenant Isamu Dyson, who reacted sharply to the suspension, hijacked the YF-19, headed to Earth, and encountered the incident along with the YF-21's Guld Goa Bowman, who had pursued him. The great efforts of the two ended Sharon's rampage. In light of the circumstances of the incident, the adoption of the X-9 was shelved.

Caption: It can be said that by contributing to the resolution of the incident, the YF-19 and YF-21 once again hinted at the usefulness of manned fighter aircraft.

Caption: [7] After the incident, the development of the two aircraft was resumed, and the YF-19 was regulated and adopted as the VF-19 main fighter (pictured), and the YF-21 was regulated and adopted as the VF-22 special operations aircraft.

Related Matter: The Influence On The Operation Of Artificial Intelligence Due To The Incident
Although the development of the Sharon model AI was promoted aimed at reducing the human load and optimizing the control operation system, the Unified Forces came to review the military diversion route of the AI due to the riskiness that was exposed in this incident. Development was suspended due to military decree, and the two isomorph AI that were already completed were also scrapped. Also, the development of the Ghost X-9 was suspended -as autonomous control by AI was its cornerstone-, and even though unmanned aircraft themselves continued thereafter, the use of AI came to be limited. However, it's thought that the development of AI continued after the incident, and it's said that there were cases where the civilian military provider S.M.S., who faced the Vajra in battle in 2059, invested unmanned aircraft that were loaded with a developed system of the Sharon model AI into battle.*

Caption: [7] Due to the effects of the incident, turning unmanned fighter aircraft into the main fighter was abandoned, and thereafter manned fighter aircraft continued maintaining the main fighter seat.

Caption: [F] In 2059, it often came to manned aircraft on the front line directly controlling unmanned aircraft and conducting combat.*

*Translator's note: originally was: "In 2059, technology was implemented that linked manned aircraft with remotely controlled unmanned fighter aircraft."
