Set in 2025, you will fly an Azerbaijan JF-17 Thunder through the mountains of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region three years after the Armenian / Azerbaijan conflict in which Azerbaijan annexed the region and forced the displacement of several thousand Armenians. With their Russian allies distracted in Ukraine, Armenia at the time was not able to mount a viable defence. In the years that have followed, you and your wingman have performed routine, low-level, deterrence sorties through the valleys. Today, Armenian and Russian backed militants will launch a surprise attack, forcing your wingman to eject over hostile territory. You'll be tasked with protecting the crash site while CSAR approaches and evacuates the pilot. Should you fail, and the pilot is captured by militants, Armenia will use it as diplomatic leverage to request independence for the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
For realism purposes, it is advised that you search for Armenian and Azerbaijan liveries.
