The ''Echelon'' is Miratia's mainstay strategic bomber; a stealthy, supercruising monster with its own defensive anti-aircraft missiles.
BM-1 ''Echelon strategic'' bomber
 
* Defensive chaff as well as 4 anti-aircraft missiles in internal bays. (2 pointed forward, 2 pointed aft.) (AAM-1)

==BM-X2 Interruptor==
* Rudimentary radar stealth.
The ''Interruptor'' was a proposal drawn up by the Airfleet for a highly-mobile delivery platform for the Type-9 series of anti-aircraft missiles.  If constructed, it would have been the largest and most heavily-armed air superiority aircraft in the world, powered by a nuclear reactor and carrying more than seventy AAM-2 missiles, which would be fired from four internal rotary launchers. The launchers would each hold up to six missiles at a time, and be reloaded mid-flight by the craft's crew.
 
Since it was determined, however, that the mere development of such a craft would bankrupt Miratia as a state, the project was cancelled before a prototype could be built.
