The Western Company Besra is a military jet trainer featured in Grand Theft Auto V as part of The San Andreas Flight School Update. Unlike its rival, the P-996 Lazer, the Besra does not have mounted weapons and is primarily meant for stunting.
Design
The entire aircraft is heavily inspired by several military jets, mostly training ones. It's body and air intakes seem to have been inspired by the Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter light fighter aircraft, with wings and tailplane similar to that found on the Aero L-39 Albatross jet trainer.
Performance
It possesses excellent speed and maneuverability. Blue flames shoot from the back like the P-996 LAZER. The plane's top speed is the same as the LAZER's, but the maneuvrability is better, being able to perform sharp turns easier than the Lazer Jet. The Besra can slow down rapidly, and can takeoff/land on short ranges, which makes this aircraft very good to land on roads.
Unlike the P-996 Lazer, it has no weaponry.
