The Infests is an aircraft introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
Technology and Combat Characteristics[]
It is capable of take-off and land vertically, and it can fold up so it can be carried by ZAFT submarine carriers. It is equipped with two 12mm autocannons, four 25mm autocannons, and four hardpoints for missiles
History[]
The Infestus was a VTOL fighter created by ZAFT for combat on Earth. However, with the development and rollout of the mass-produced AMF-101 DINN mobile suit and Guul subflight drone, it soon became obsolete, and was rarely seen by C.E. 71. On February 28, C.E. 71, two Infestus were used to escort the Petrie-class ship, Henry Carter, during the Battle of Talbadiya.[1] The aircraft was fully decommissioned by C.E. 73.

Notes & Trivia[]
- One of the configurations of the Infestus, with the wings deployed and cockpit above the main wings, makes it have a passing resemblance to the Dopp fighter from the Universal Century.
