A cold dawn settles over the Arctic edges of the Kola region, locked in ice and silence.
Engines roar. Tension climbs.
From a highway stretch repurposed as a makeshift runway, two F/A-18s rise into the frozen stillness.
Their objective: strike forward enemy positions,
deep within the heart of their air defense network.
Then suddenly —
an SA-10 shatters the silence, tearing through the frozen sky.
What follows is unlike any exercise.
It’s a fight against the invisible—
a storm of missiles, maneuvers, and raw adrenaline.
