Because of the distance, I watch the tracers zoom past at a considerable distance from their target, not afraid of the outdated weapons.
"...Migs? Really? That's all you've got defending your bombers?"
Before the enemy pilot can respond, comms are cut with the bomber.
"I'm climbing!"
My aircraft begins to pitch up, gradually exchanging speed for altitude. My guess is that the migs' engines won't be able to match the mirage's and that if any of them try to follow my ascent, they'll stall and become blatant targets for Talisman and Turtle.
Once I have considerable height over the attacking MiGs, I fire nothing at them. I point at the bombers and fire all of my missiles at them, three each of course, with delays of about 30 seconds in between every pair of missiles launched, to counteract any chaff or flares they respond with. Then I focus my attention on the MiGs that attempted to engage us, not wasting time staring at my missiles as they rush off.
Swat 3:
I immediately recognize the accent and smile faintly. "Porlaqis? Why?" I tug my stick without effort, putting a little more thrust into my engine, and gain altitude. I fly above one of the fighters and tap my stick left as well as towards me once forth. I get on the tail of one of the Porlaqi's, a little more elevated as well as in sights of the top and mumble "May God forgive me for killing this conscript." I burst my autocannon.
I look to the side for a second and see one of the guys shoot his whole guided arsenal at the two bombers. "I heard they don't like anyone wasting missiles." I mumble half to myself.

In an incredible feat, I manage to spew this entire paragraph while performing a series of maneuvers to slow down and get behind the MiGs in order to take them down:
"I also hear they don't like people who forget to cut their comms when they say something that might get them in trouble. Anyway, there's no way to tell if they'll be able to knock away any of the missiles. Better safe than sorry, and there's no way in hell you could get me to stick around with all those MiGs flying behind them to watch each missile. Speaking of which, I hear striking the hornet's nest raises the swarm. Get ready for all of those escorts to come at us, guys."
Swat 3:
I blush for a little bit but remind myself I need to start defending myself more... but then again.
oh my god i just noticed a mig-15 (cigaretteot) is crap

I fire a missile at one of the MiGs, and toss some 20mm rounds at another.
--- End quote ---
The 20mm cannon misses its mark due to being too far out.
The missile streaks towards its target, easily scoring a hit despite the enemy pilot's pathetic attempt at evasion. The MiG explodes spectacularly and rains bits of metal and meat giblets onto the forest below. A second MiG attempts to fly through the explosion and gets an intake full of hot shrapnel for its trouble, destroying its innards and sending it spinning out of control.

Another pair of MiGs doggedly attempt to follow your ascent, and predictably fail to keep up. They continue spraying inaccurate gunfire in your direction, for what it's worth.
The rest of your post was not taken into consideration because it required more time than would be allotted in a "turn". While there is no real limit on how long a turn is, it is preferred for you to keep your actions somewhat short and concise. If you are attempting to set something up, you cannot then immediately have it pay off in the same post. Opposing pilots have to be allowed some sort of reaction.

The majority of the burst misses its target, but a glancing blow nicks a fuel line left exposed by some shoddy maintenance work, and the entire plane goes up in flames.
While the three of you distract the fighters, Kelton is freed up to shoot down one of the bombers.
Remaining enemy forces:
3x MiG-15 cigaretteot
1x Tu-95 Bear
