Do both. Split up. Two fighters (probably Lara and Lilian) expand their patrol areas, while the remainder stay close.

"Yeah, that's a good idea, Magnet." You nod. "We'll expand our perimeter. You and Angel team up and I'll go with Stripes and the Nugget."

"But I'm not a-" Milly begins to protest.

"You're a nugget." All four of you say simultaneously, instantly silencing your newcomer.

"Then which areas will we be patrolling?" Lilian asks.

You consult your map once again. To the south were the various mountain ranges that made Belka was rather famous for. It would not be out of the realm of possibility for enemy planes to use the mountains as cover for their approach. However, the moment they crested the mountains they'd be detected, and there were only a few dangerous mountain passes they could pass through to continue evading radar.

To the north was the coast. Naturally, there was not a lot of radar coverage out there, and ever since the end of the Belkan War, Belka's navy and coastal air defenses had degraded rather significantly, either due to combat losses or forced postwar disarmament. A good pilot could get frighteningly close to the city before being detected, with the current clear weather conditions, they wouldn't have a lot of cover to conceal their approach visually.

If they're all treated as cells and she doesn't know the loadouts of the other squadrons, how does she know their plans?

"We'll take the south end." You say. "You two can handle the north."

"Got it." Lilian affirms. "Good luck!"

"All right, Nugget, me and Auntie Valk are gonna show you how it's done!" Lara laughs as she opens up her throttle, the engines of her Eagle roaring and glowing bright orange.

"Heh, let's see if you can keep up, Nugget." You grin as you increase your speed as well.

"H-hey! No fair, the Falcon's only single engine!" Milly protests.

You just chuckle lightly to yourself as Milly struggles to keep up. The Falcon may be more maneuverable than an Eagle, but it would lose out in a straight up race.

Finally, your each the southern mountains. They were extremely varied, from low foothills, to massive peaks that could reach into the clouds. Fortunately, the weather was clear, giving you a clear view of the rocky crags. You could even see mist flowing down from the snow gathered at the peaks of the higher mountains. You could also see the blinking signal lights of various radio towers, meant to bounce signals over the mountains to the rest of the nation on the other side.

But no planes.

"You girls picking up anything?" You ask, checking your radar.

"I got nothing." Lara shakes her head.

"Nothing on my scopes, either." Milly reports.

You review your options. You could continue to stay up high, giving you a better view as well as a better attack position. Then again, if the OB planes were flying through the passes and ravines, you'd need to drop lower to visually confirm.

"All right, let's drop down to check out the passes." You say. "Stripes, you stay up high in case somebody thinks it's a good idea to try and bounce us. Nugget, you're my wing."

"Awwww, I have to pull escort duty?" Lara whines.

"It's an important job." You assure her.

"Are you sure you can trust me on your wing?" Milly says nervously. "I mean, I DID try to shoot you down..."

"Eh, it's all in the past." You shrug.

"It literally happened yesterday."

"Still counts as the past." You chuckle. "Look, the Professor thinks you're a good kid, and he's never let me down yet, so I'm willing to give both him and you the benefit of the doubt."

"O-oh. Okay." Milly mumbles but goes quiet.

With that done, you push your stick forward and drop altitude. Soon you can make out the various ravines and valleys snaking between the mountains, and you narrow your eyes to look for any unnatural movement.

Unfortunately, you don't see anything at all. From what you can tell, the ravines and passes were completely clear. Even checking the local radio frequencies doesn't show any unusual activity. Either they were holding very strict radio silence or they weren't there at all.

"You see anything, Nugget?"

"Just dirt and trees." Milly sighs.

You quickly line up your Falcon with the closest ravine and dip in, using a combination of your ground detection radar and pure instinct to keep from slamming into the ground or clipping your wings on the edges of the canyon. Immediately, your radar lock warnings go silent as the terrain blocks your opponents' line of sight for a few crucial seconds.

"Nugget, you okay?" You ask.

"Y-yeah. I might need a new flightsuit, though." Milly grumbles.

"Good to hear." You laugh. "Stripes, you doing okay?"

"Oh yeah, these guys are chumps!" Lara laughs, but you can hear the wail of missile lock warnings in the background.

>>38980893
No. Full stop.
WW1 was caused by several things, most notably entangling alliances, arms races, pride, and centuries old territorial disputes. And pan-slavism.
None of those are relevant today. Except pan-slavism. But no one cares about that.

Further, nukes do a very good job at preventing a war between the powers. Russia happens to know how to work the system. There will be no WW3 for the foreseeable future unless the Chinese start it.

"Negative, they might try pincering us." You warn as you slowly weave your Eagle through the winding canyon. "Hold position and keep an eye out for anybody trying to be sneaky."

"Roger that."

At this point, a squadron of Belkan Flankers had arrived to deal with the Terminators, of which Lara had already shot two down despite being heavily outnumbered at the opening stages of the dogfight.

"Hey, Valk, Nugget ,you gonna join in on the fun?" She laughs.

You glance at your radar. No new contacts yet. However, if this truly was going to be an attack on the conference, they'd need bombers or attack craft to carry it out. From what you can tell, the Terminators weren't kitted out for ground attack.

"Sorry, Stripes, but we got bombers to look out for." You say.

"Ah well, more kills for me!" Lara cackles as her line cuts out.

Up above, you could see smoke trails crisscrossing the sky, coming from both missiles and damaged or destroyed planes. It looked to be a serious furball out there, but you can't help but feel that those Terminators were just a distraction. With the Terminators distracted by Lara and the Belkan fighters, you feel it's safe enough to pull out of the ravine and gain some altitude.

"Nugget, keep your eyes out for bombers. They'll be flying low to avoid the furball." You instruct.

Their political capital is shot. They haven't the economy to support themselves, they don't have any kind of hard currency necessary to keep themselves afloat a while longer. Literally the only thing keeping the Russian bear churning at this point is belief in Mother Russia, Comrade Putin, and the righteousness of their cause.

Let's put it this way: Their military has to modernize one system at a time, because they can't support the shit necessary to modernize more than one thing at a time. Their CIS is economic in nature, and do you honestly think for a minute any one of those nations isn't waiting to leave at the first opportunity? Russia has zero allies worth mentioning.

The only thing their posturing and saber rattling has done has imparted to the nations of NATO and nations considering NATO the fact that NATO is still very fucking relevant in today's world.

The ONLY thing that makes Russia still a threat to anyone beyond third world tin-pot dictatorships and their own citizens is the nuclear arsenal the Soviet Union left behind.

In short summation: Kindly go fuck yourself.
