Apparently a USAF source has confirmed that the Russians will be participating in the next evolution of Red Flag. I wonder if they'll get to see some of the heritage rooms on base...

Well, looks like the aggressors are going to need a whole new set of patches.
The average fighter pilot, despite his sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of feelings such as love, affection, intimacy and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Is that stereotyping if we make them Red Air? Will they be GCI dependant? Standard loadout? They're going to simulate some fucked up loadout (wall to wall AA-8s) just to have an Eagle guy stand up and say "Thats not how you do that!"

Hopefully they don't just fuck around like some other countries that show up.

The problem is SAF/IA is insanely protective of TTPs, to the point of stupidity.

This will make threat replication pretty cut-and-dried.

Could be the most or least fun RF ever.

No normal RF. This one is only for Special Ops fighter pilots. That's probably why you haven't heard about it.

Of course, they'll be supported by "black world" tankers.....I hear those guys only operate in cloud (for stealth) and the booms don't even ask for tail numbers.
