@wild goose try to enlighten me about the info on the "blue flag" exercises in the real world
There's no Blue Flag, as there is no UN joint military. Closest is the USAF's Red Flag exercises, which are run on 6 occasions throughout the year, and are generally as close as it comes to real war as possible, aggressor hijinks aside (first time the F-22 deployed to Red Flag, the aggressors resorted to mid-air "respawns" and even a goddamned nighttime canyon run right out of Ace Combat. Didn't work).

Blue Flag is most likely inspired by Red Flag - Alaska, which was previously called COPE THUNDER and used to be based outta the Phillipines.
