Thursday, 28 February 2008

CONQUEST X-30. A fighter jet used by the G.I. Joe team, the Conquest includes state-of-the-art computer control systems. It was one of the most advanced fighters of its time. It's capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 2.42 and is typically armed with two 20mm Vulcan cannons and 4 laser-guided cluster bombs. The Joe team's designated pilot of the Conquest was Slip-Stream. The fighter first saw action over the war-torn nation of Sierra Gordo and flew in a number of operations.

After the Army discontinued widespread use of the fighter jet, surplus vehicles appeared in Europe, where Cobra turned a number of them into Python Patrol vehicles. A small number of Python Conquests were being used by Cobra as recently as 2001.
