SV-51: The Ace Pilot's Crimson Aircraft that Cuts Through the Advance Guard of the Anti Unification Alliance
Aircraft Explanation
The α (alpha) model of the SV-51 that the Anti Unification Alliance deployed is used for general soldiers and the γ model, which has differing colouring, is used by ace pilots. Two of the γ (gamma) model are confirmed with the call-sign Schwalbe (swallow), and each one is coloured either red or black. Herein, we explain the γ model that Nora piloted and the α model for general soldiers.

Missiles
Missiles are installed on under-wing pylons. They are able to sink a surface ship in one shot.
Mini-gun
A 12.7 mm machine gun is installed in the main wing root. As it can be rapidly-fired, the machine gun has a wide range of uses, such as diversion and interception.

SV-51α Mass Production Craft
The VF produced by the Anti-Unification Alliance for general soldiers is the SV-51α. Even though neither the basic performance nor structure are different from the γ type, there is a record of the existence, although in the minority, of a type that could launch underwater from a submarine. This type was given water-proofing and pressure resistant functions, and changes were added to the structure of the main wings in connection to the SV-51α being set up in a launch dock. As a result, it was able to launch underwater from a maximum depth of about 30 m. Moreover, the successor SV-52 was developed based on this craft.
Fighter Mode / GERWALK Mode
The mass production SV-51 fighter (top) and GERWALK (right) forms. Besides the single seater that was produced the most abundantly, a two-seater model also appears to have existed.

Related Matter: Mig-29
The MiG-29 is an existing fighter that the Anti-Unification Alliance operated at the same time as the SV-51. It was effective as an opposition force to the Unified Forces F-14.
Caption: Even though one could say that this fighter, which was developed by the former Soviet Union, surpassed the F-14 in dogfighting capabilities, it's weakness was a short cruising range.
