Lt. Colonel Voskov is the recipient of numerous awards for his military service during the Soviet-Afghan war and later as a test pilot. He left the military to join the Mikoyan Design Bureau as a test pilot to take the MiG-29 through its final paces. In this role, he would often cross paths with Western military “training exercises” and would taunt them by locking on missiles until they retreated, earning him the unofficial NATO nickname Hound.

At the Zhukovsky flight test center he was approached by a KGB agent known as Zoya. She informed him he was going to be selected for a new top secret stealth interceptor program, Project Firefox. However, Mother Russia would have much bigger plans for him.

The US had already learned of the project’s development and would stop at nothing to gain the advanced technology. At the same time, the components of this next gen fighter were too cost prohibitive for the USSR to ever put it into production. Hound’s mission was to take the Firefox successfully through its tests and then it would become part of the Oktober Guard’s arsenal. She left out the details of how that would come to pass. The “news” played out on the world stage and Hound saw first hand how deep and well orchestrated Zoya and the Oktober Guard were at preventing the Firefox from ever falling into the wrong hands.

This was going to be more of an LBC but the Lamprey's orange parts didn't even match its own different parts, so I ended up doing a full repaint.
