The MS-06R was approved by the military in the form of drawing up the recommendations from Zonic, which designed and manufactured the 06 type, with the aim of further improving the performance of the MS-06 (F), which had reached the stage of completion as the main mobile weapon. It is an aircraft. In the background, the training of pilots showing high maneuverability has progressed, so the 06 type mobile suit designed with versatility for various operations has more attack ability in pure space combat scenes. The height of the universe has been sought. The main point of this development was to make the original 06 type more mobile. Zaku specializes in high speed and high mobility.
There are three major repair points made to this machine. The thrust of the rear rocket vernier is almost double that of the F type. A high mobility rocket motor is also installed on the legs. In addition, the integral tanks of each part of the aircraft have been increased in size in line with the partial change in the armor material layout.
Prototypes 1 and 2 are manufactured by remodeling the F type (late production type) that was on the production line at the Arsenal in Granada, and laser measurement signal points are applied to each part of the aircraft according to the orange-yellow paint. Was done. In the test at the Granada base, Major Elliott Rem, who was in charge of the test pilot from the beginning of the 06 type development, was assigned and various functional evaluations were conducted over two weeks, and as a result, it was proved to be an extremely excellent aircraft that exceeds the design performance. (Actually, it was largely due to the skill of the pilot in charge). Later, when the Airframe Number Integration Ordinance was issued, these R-type prototypes were given the identification approval number of MS-06RP.
Twenty-two aircraft have been manufactured as the primary production line based on this specification, and this is because it is classified as an aircraft (R-1A) that was later deployed to actual combat units and was partially redesigned as a result of practical evaluation. The aircraft for the initial production is distinguished as MS-06R-1 from the common name of MS-06R. The basic paint established in the MS-06R series uses the MS-06's standard camouflage color, but since the dedicated pilots at the deployment destination were mostly junior officers or above, there are many examples of using personal colors. It has been confirmed.
