Inside the hangar at the Mosul Air Force Base...
Cobra looked up at the underbelly of the F-16, which was equipped with Storm Shadow cruise missiles, and couldn't help running his hand over them, letting out a sigh that was neither regretful nor melancholic.
As a former ace pilot who had come through since the South Union period, Cobra knew better than anyone that these fighter jets, which seemed formidable to the average person, were, in fact, merely defensive weapons for most countries.
In countries like Seville, a fighter pilot might never get the chance to execute an offensive bombing mission in their lifetime.
However, his boss is now gradually treating fighter jets as conventional weapons, and the weapons these jets use are being upgraded continuously, even the internal electronic systems of fighter jets are constantly being improved.
