History
Joint Assault universe
United States and Japan hosted a military show on the Midway Island, only for it to come under attack by Valahia aircraft. Later, the nation was embroiled in a conflict with the invading Golden Axe Plan Private Army.
Assault Horizon universe
In 1995, during the Bosnian War, American bomber aircraft took part in NATO's Operation Deliberate Force to bomb ground forces in the Serbian state of Republika Srpska. One bombing run had gone off-course and dropped bombs onto a civilian area; Krista Yoslav was among the casualties. Andrei Markov, traveling with Sergei Illich, discovered her body and swore revenge on NATO and, particularly, the United States.[1]
On September 11, 2001, four simultaneous terrorist attacks in the United States resulted in a heightened state of alert around the world. Eight months later, U.S. military radar failed to detect two unidentified aircraft that flew over Japan. Following these events, both the United States and Japanese governments re-evaluated their air defense systems. This eventually led to the development of the ASF-X Shinden II in Japan.[2]
