Following the Belkan War, the OADF saw a critical need for a dedicated security force for the Eaglin Strait, a vital waterway leading to the heart of Osea. With the massive purchase of aircraft from Yuktobania in 1997, the North Gate Air National Guard established the 89th Tactical Fighter Squadron with the Su-27 ‘Flankers’ as their primary air defense for the area.
Notable for being a front-line non-aggressor unit, the Red Dragons Aircraft were one of the first units to engage Yuktobanian incursion in 2010 while defending the Osean 3rd Fleet transiting the strait, ironically surviving the burst-missile attack due to the same fuel shortcomings that hindered their later deployments.
Today the 89th still act as watchful guardians to the entrance of the strait, along with the other state guard units assigned to the Strait’s security.
