With the large purchase of aircraft in 1997, the OADF had little need for the Su-24 ‘Fencer’ due to the F-111 ‘Aardvark’ already filling the super-sonic tactical bomber role, This opened multiple states to adopt the fighter instead into their reserve components, one of which being North Gate with the 260th Tactical Fighter Squadron ‘Pale Horse’.

Accepting the aircraft in 1998 to replace older F-4D Phantoms in the inventory, the Pale Horses would operate around the Eaglin Strait, while not directly assigned to the waterway’s security mission. During the Continental War that broke out in 2003, the 260th was one of many units deployed to Usea to ensure security of Osean interests in the region, and notably would first face combat on the Su-24’s homeland of Yuktobania in 2010 during the Circum-Pacific War. Alongside F-111’s of Oseas Air Combat Command, Su-24’s from Pale Horse would drop laser-guided ordinance on Yuktobanian targets in Jilachi and on the outskirts of Cinigrad before the

Established some time in the 1970s, the 165th Fighter Bomber Squadron 'Pegasus' would earn the coveted title of 'Guards' shortly before the outbreak of the Belkan War when in 1989, following years of ethnic conflict in the border oblast with neighboring Verusea, the Yuktobanian Army deployed its military to suppress local insurgent forces in "Oprichinia" operations. Following their successful campaign, the Pegasus would redeploy in 1994 as the first Yuktobanian Vanguard to Ustio, serving with distinction notably supporting Osean forces in Belka.

In 2010, during the Circum-Pacific War, the Pegasus would live up to their title, Now operating under the 5th Air Army, they would fly daring bombing raids against Osean Landings in Yuktobania, before retreating to Cinigrad later in the war. The Pegasus would see limited action in years following, notably during the 2016 Anean Conflict escorting Yuktobanian shipping through the Razgriz Strait from both Emmerian and Estovakian forces.
