The '''Strato Destroyer''' is a heavily-armored air unit, a combination of {{BWs|Fighter}} and {{BWs|Bomber}}. Its only vulnerability is the break in its armor on the rear of the plane, where its fuel tank is located. It is one of the few units that can successfully launch an attack against an enemy [[Battlestation]], the others being the [[Gunship]] and [[Bomber]]. As the first-tier air unit, the Strato Destroyer is similar to the Battlestation and [[Dreadnought]] in terms of power. However, it can't move nearly as well as Fighters.

==Dossier Intel==
=== Western Frontier ===
"Now obsolete due to erratic flight controls, the B-5000 Strato Destroyer was armed with both air-to-air missiles and the ability to deliver a heavy consignment of high-explosive bombs. The only chink in its armor was the lack of significant rear-facing armaments."

=== Tundran Territories ===
''The [[Tundran Territories]] have not developed this unit.''

=== Solar Empire ===
''The [[Solar Empire]] has not developed this unit.''

=== Anglo Isles ===
''The [[Anglo Isles]] have not developed this unit.''

=== Xylvania ===
"The Zornier Z-1 "Skyhammer" provides [[Xylvania]]n High Command with long-range strike capability. It can perform air interdiction and offensive counter-ground duties, incorporating heavy-load adapter channels for carrying 3,000-kilo bombs."

=== Iron Legion ===
''The [[Iron Legion]] has not developed this unit.''

==Trivia==
* The [[Anglo Isles]] would have had their own Strato Destroyer, as evidenced from their in-game concept art, but this was dropped before the release of ''[[Battalion Wars 2]]''.
* The Strato Destroyer makes only one appearance in ''[[Battalion Wars 2]]'' — in the final level, "[[The Reckoning]]", to defend [[Kaiser Vlad]]'s Mining Spider from the [[Alliance of Nations|Allied]] [[Tundran Territories|Tundran]] [[Battlestation]].
