==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  D : A recent variation based on the C, the D configuration switches from extended-range lasers to the newer [[heavy laser]]s, mounting a [[heavy large laser]] and [[heavy small laser]] in the nose respectively.

*; 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>
