That's about average cruise speed for fighters. Strike fighters loaded with ground attack stores are going to be a lot slower. A-6, for example, could barely hit 500 knots. In a dive.

Based on playing F/A-18 simulators and Wings over Europe, fully loaded fighter for strike package will average between 300-450 knots at cruise.

They did show a bunch of Tu-22s on standby a few episodes ago. I have no idea what happened to them.
I wonder where their Backfires are.

Now that you mention It is a surprise to see an intercontinental bomber when planes those size and class would've be blown out of the sky by the lux heck even the smaller ones can knock them out actually they should have been faced out. low, fast and heavilly loaded B-1 type bomber should've been the norm for warfare that they have been conducting

thats max speed for a turbo prop just to point it out they are cruising in formation so at best 350 or 400 knots their technically going slow

Judging from the damage, i see nom possible way for yuuya to escape or fight back or even stall time. So could anyone enlighten me here? And just a thought but maybe the twins might come up

The twins might come up because the blond Russian had his own agenda about this whole situation.

Latrova's Zhar Batallion was heading into the base. But Yuuya doesn't know this so I think he'll try to escape avoiding fights as much as he can. Now, I don't know if Latrova knows about the incoming bombardment, Yuuya certainly doesn't.

that fort class beta, i thought it can cause more damage but it died so fast...

the hot-blooded pilot Yui (in the flash back) is still the best

an intense eps, however we know Yuuya surely wont die here

Soviet Union made a shit ton of Bears, just like how the Anericans made hundreds of B-52s.

True. Then again, 350-400 knots is about right for a fighter strike package anyway, so IMO they aren't losing too much speed.

I know, his options are to keep stalling them there or just trying to get away.
I reasoned he's going to try to escape now that he stubbornly finished his job (testing Melee).

Yes, by commander I was referring to the old guy.

Even if they share nationalities, it doesn't mean they respond to the same group of interests.

We have UN Forces (Argos Flight), Russian Army (Latrova), Chinese Army (Miku look-alike) and the Imperial Army (Yui's Uncle) involved in what's going now in the base. The characters are involved with several of these groups. Take Yui for example, She's working for the Imperial Army as developer of the cannon and for the UN Foces with the TSF project.

The conflict is far more complex than "Evil Russians want to steal big cannon". I think it's the UN the ones that want that technology.

500 knots for what? If it is land vehicle, it is super fast, but it is a jet plane, it is slow, 500 knots = 926 km/h, it even don't reach march speed, 1 march = 1225 km/h.
