ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Mr. Hurricane]

: ...The plane. There is no ship named "Rafale".

"I-,"

There's a few moments of silence.

"-Sorry, just wanted to make sure-,"

[Ad Bot]

[NoZoner]

I think Rafales is the real pluralization of Rafale

The more I think about it, the worse it sounds in my head though

[CypherX]

i didnt think any significant kind of cruise missile could be carried by a tiny little jet fighter

also sorry about the lack of updates today, work does that sometimes
my schedule for the next week is bizarrely overpopulated with days off though, so don't worry about this dragging on like the last mission

It's rumored that the klub can be launched by a flanker but there's no confirmation yet.

here's the american one, but it's not fighter capable

[Mr. Hurricane]

Weight wise a fighter could carry a few.

[Gojira]

fair enough

Tlacelel eases on the throttle just enough that you can catch up to him. In addition, the AWACS begins moving closer in the event it needs to provide more than just electronic support, as well as ease up on resupply times (you may now fly to the AWACS and request supplies on the same turn). The second wave of carrier-based fighters approaches at radar range, two squadrons of Rafales. At this distance, there's no telling what any of them are carrying.

[Operator¹]

Bell prepares to engage the Rafales since her missiles don't have the range to hit them.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko waits to close into missile range.

[Lockebox]

Roger fires an RGM at rafale-7

[NoZoner]

Richard pulls back on the stick and begins ascending in preparation.

[blockguy™]

Ralph also waits until he's in missile range.

Yui makes herself a sandwich.
