==Description==
 
The lightest and fastest [[OmniFighter]] in service with the [[Clans]], the '''''Bashkir''''' was originally developed by [[Clan Snow Raven]], though small numbers appear with all Clans. Its small size means that its armor protection, payload, and endurance are severely limited, though its high speed makes it ideal for reconnaissance missions and swift strikes against unprepared targets.<ref name=TRO3055-146-147>''Technical Readout: 3055'', pp. 146-147, "Bashkir Fighter Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3055R128-129>''Technical Readout: 3055 Revised'', pp. 128-129, "Bashkir OmniFighter Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3055U176-177/>

The ''Bashkir'' is swift and super-maneuverable, which would normally make it an ideal atmospheric dogfighter. The limited three tons of fuel onboard each fighter reduces its endurance in low atmosphere however, which makes encounters with the ''Bashkir'' more likely in high atmosphere or in space where they can coast, using their few tons of fuel to change vector. Fragile as much because of its small size as its use of an [[XL engine]] and [[ferro-aluminum]] armor, these advanced technologies drive up the cost of the fighter even while freeing up four and a half tons of [[pod space]].<ref name=TRO3055-146-147/><ref name=TRO3055R128-129/><ref name=TRO3055U176-177/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration  A : The A configuration has a more restricted firing arc than the primary because all its weapons are mounted in the nose. The [[SRM-2]] is upgraded to an [[SRM-6]], and the [[ER small laser]] to a [[medium pulse laser]], giving the fighter a lower damage potential, but a better "scatter" effect for scouring the surface of the target. The ''Bashkir''-A uses a ballistic weapon as its primary armament, which limits its battlefield endurance but gives it a fair punch in a dogfight.

*; Alternate Configuration  B : Designed to project power at range, B variant mounts an [[LRM-5]] under each wing. Two tons of ammunition means that the ''Bashkir'' is likely to run out of fuel before its missile launchers go silent, with a single [[small laser]] as backup if they ever do. Some ''Bashkir''-B fighters operate in conjunction with a ''[[Sabutai]]''-B, having had all their missile warheads programmed to home on the [[Homing Pod|Narc beacon]]s delivered by the heavier fighter.

*; Alternate Configuration  C : The primary ground attack version, the C configuration mounts an [[ER large laser]] and [[ER small laser]], which give the craft a good strafing ability and allow it to engage airborne/spaceborne targets while limiting the fighter's exposure to return fire. While the placement of both lasers in the nose restricts their firing arc, it makes it easier for the pilot to bring all weapons to bear against a single target.

*; Alternate Configuration  E : Apparently designed to support ground forces, the ''Bashkir''-E was introduced during the [[Jihad]]. Each wing carries a trio of [[ER small laser]]s, while the nose is equipped with triple [[machine gun]]s mounted in a [[Machine Gun Array]]. A half-ton of ammunition is provided in a [[CASE]] protected ammunition bay. BV (2.0) = 877<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 301</ref>
