At a base nestled deep within Erusea’s arid and treacherous desert terrain lies the 45th Fighter Squadron ‘Desert Vipers’. Flying the venerable F-2A, the 45th FS is renowned for its mastery of desert warfare, low-altitude dogfighting and precision strike operations.
Formed at the height of the Continental War in 2003, the squadron was initially tasked with defending Erusea’s central desert regions from ISAF advances. The harsh conditions and unforgiving environment of the desert honed their skills, earning them the moniker Desert Vipers—lethal and elusive, striking without warning from the scorching sands.The squadron gained fame for daring low-level operations and surprise attacks, using the desert to their advantage. With expertise in both air-to-air combat and ground support, the Desert Vipers are feared for their lethal and unpredictable tactics.
