How the VANDAL program produced interesting planes and the V-3 Rocket Bomber

Early on, while still living in US, King Yarl realized he wanted the government he would install to have independent military, and the defense provided by its own naval and air forces. He signed a special Joint Defense Development Agreement, in addition to the Mutual Defense Coordination Agreement (which provides the island's military with access to US military proving grounds, while alleviating the US defense effort from having to patrol the US shores allowing it to pursue its overseas policies, among other reciprocal not-in-kind favors)

the plasma-powered rocket bomber VANDAL is an acronym that is classified (V... Army-Navy-Defense Advanced L...?). According to the guidelines of the program, King Yarl obtained licenses and bought functioning models of ships and aircraft for further development, developing them into lengthened, plasma-powered craft.

Among A-5A Vigilante and XB-70 Valkyrie, King also obtained the only prototype of the bomber whose designs the Soviet Union stole to build their Tu-22 Blinder bomber. King Yarl's Experimental Aircraft Design Institute, on his own turf of Kingstad, the world's most populated and secretive Area 51, produced a midsized VANDAL Rocket V3 bomber. Most likely a nod to Germany's V-2 rocket.
