A hydrogen kinetic bomber and light attacker that uses velocity to release a single kinetic-explosive bomb and quickly replenish with a welder using a projector.

With the 3X series, a more radical alteration was drafted into a concept bomber, using its velocity as a weapon to deliver dumb payload with options of impact, timed, both, or neither. It offers 2 large forward engines to accelerate, but care is to be given that they are better launched after fighter squadrons deal with the turrets and other defensive tactics. It must have enough velocity to pierce through armor and embed itself inside the hull, allowing kinetic damage, or detonate inside for limited explosion radius depending on how exposed the warheads are.

The bomb is designed to have a pattern of light and heavy armor to balance between easily peeling the shell for warheads, and capable of surviving turret fire and initial impact.

Due to its light armor, it will not survive in dogfights, interceptions, and turret fire, but carries a respectable rocket and gun armament when fighting is the only option or the bomb is delivered and resupply is in a hazardous situation.
