We probably want AA missiles. So long as they don't have aerofoils they ought to be cool with the U.N....

The Type 51w we use for the MRRL is actually classifiable as an Air-to-Air missile a la the FARR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding-Fin_Aerial_Rocket)

The fins aren't the primary method of generating lift though?... I mean, rockets mostly get by on an absurd thrust-to-weight ratio, don't they? With the fins acting more to keep the projectile on course.

Xi-52 Xīwàng Xuá-Zhí Pattern B

Following the ban of fixed wing military aerial platforms and inspired by the recovered works of Nogranian engineers, the Tondeshe military has found itself lacking a proper air force. The Xi-52 Xiwang builds itself as a remedy to this, as the nation's first military aerial vehicle in compliance with the Geneva Convention. The vehicle's powerplant are two XZ01-52Xi turboshaft engines, where work is done to improve it's ability to operate in spite of taking on moisture, supported by our experience at naval gas turbines.

The craft is expected to be quite agile given it's low weight and the already proven power of our turboshafts. The Xiwang carries a nasal Type-51b RGL as well as either two Type 51w rocket launch pods (4x4 tubes in each) or two additional Type-51b RGLs on each side, in the form of interchangeable subsystems mounted on the sides (literally just two different things you can bolt onto the side, not even necessary if it in any way influences the difficulty, which I don't see how it would). The craft's hull is made a few millimeters thick so as not to be a prime example of a paper plane in order to stop rifle rounds from penetrating(Thin) . It is a manned by a pilot and a copilot, who serves as the gunner for the nasal RGL.

Does it actually specify anywhere that those are helicopters? Because I don't actually see the method of lift being mentioned...

Wrong sort of jumper, I think.

Leaping frog
Equipped with a huge sword this walking bot has the ability to leap great distances. It's six limbs are outfitted with spring coils and while it can walk on its front legs it uses its four hind limbs for locomotion. It's arms are equipped with a long fortified sword and it's other arm is further reinforced and has a bullet proof shield. The leaping frog is made to quickly jump into enemy groups and cut them in half but also to cover our own battalions with its shield.
