==Overview==
The LGG-5GS Mehsteka is the natural outcome of the LGG-7I Infantry Support VTOL. Both are designed as mobile missile/rocket platforms, able to help units entangled with more then they can handle. Although the LGG-7I was a highly successful design, and is used heavily today, it cannot provide the sophisticated missile support that is usually needed on the field for attacks against BattleMechs.
Turning back to Ilyushin-LGG, the Russian Army said, "What can you do for us?" Ilyushin responded with the Mehsteka.
==Capabilties==
The Mehsteka is desinged with two operations in mind. The first is lightning fast support, and accurate fire power. To accomplish these goals would require some true cooperation among the various weapon industries on the planet. So LGG sat down with Piepsk Weapons and ILM, the last being a recent addition that Outreach had helped establish to give them a base of electronic and advanced laser support in the Chaos March.
LGG had already designed a chassis, maxing in at the top VTOL weight, the 30 ton Mehsteka had an incredable speed of almost 119 kph. This impressive feat would be needed for rapid responce to battlefield situations. Now it was time to arm the machine. ILM and Piepsk pulled two excellent jobs off for this project. The first was Piepsk developing Artemis IV guided missiles to work with the ILM Guiding Hand Artemis IV system. Although these missiles are very expensive, their increased accuracy, combined with the elite gunners of the Russian army, make them worth it, able to deliver ammazing damage for very little. Combined with a Cloak ECM to counter enemy electronics, the missile system was becoming fairly well loved.
The next big surprise came in the form of the Piepsk-LLM, PkLLM, short range missile system. ILM, being backed up by Wolf's Dragoons engineers, knew more about most of the advanced technologies then almost any other nation in the Inner Sphere. They sat down and worked out a streak system that could work with Piepsk designed SRM systems. Although bulky, the design is truly deadly to BattleMechs and tanks alike, and so is probably here to stay.
An interesting side note is that, almost immediately after development, Piepsk got most of their investment back when a number of worlds placed large orders for the streak system. The largest buyers are FedCom troops, building up in the region and looking for access to quick spares.
