The F-9 Ashavan II is an air superiority fighter developed from the FA-9 Banshee, retaining the basic airframe and turbofan engine of the originating platform whilst undergoing extensive internal modification to establish backwards compatibility with the avionics and weaponry of the Raspur Pact - the new aircraft's primary intended export customer and licensee. The aircraft is likely to be retired from Raspur Pact service by 1720 AN, to be replaced by a mix of F-17 Axarana air superiority fighters and the F-9 Ashavan III multirole strike aircraft, the latter being a further iteration on the original Banshee airframe developed by ESB Susa and the Mishalan Arsenal.
