Air Force (Air Force) The US accurately reproduces the large-scale air war of the great powers, simulating the threats and challenges they may face in combat. This was stated in an article for The National Interest by columnist Chris Osborn, who believes that this is how the country is preparing for the Third World War.
During the annual Red Flag war game, the US Air Force faces an experienced and well-armed enemy, the so-called Red Team, which has advanced air defense (air defense) equipment and high-tech fifth-generation aircraft.
The author also refers to a report by the US Air Force, which states that the purpose of Red Flag is to prepare the armed forces for a "multi-domain" war. "Air combat tactics remain the main focus of the Red Flag exercise scenarios, but threats that may appear in space and cyberspace are also taken into account. Thus, the armed forces must be ready to respond and overcome any enemy obstacles in order to carry out a successful mission, " the document says.
Osborne also notes that when threats arise in space or cyberspace, destroying enemy air defenses becomes more difficult.
Exercise Red Flag is an annual massive war game. As part of these exercises, the F-35 and F-22 aircraft of the US Air Force are preparing to attack enemy aircraft, conduct air combat, strike air defense systems, and so on.
