This fighter is one of the best aircraft made by -South Belka Munitions Factory- Gründer Industries. The ADF series aircraft along with the ZOE program will restore our pride that we lost 15 years ago. Edit : Soon we will retake the Southern lands and Belka will once again reign supreme

[@razgriz501]

When you break it down the most logical explanation for how military culture, technological progression, and political atmosphere in strangereal differs from our own is that they had a WW1/WW2 that were very different in how they were fought than our world wars. Would love to see that elaborated on.

[@SrMissileMonkey]

Imagine an Ace Combat but with prop planes and early jets.

[@WarpPal]

@@SrMissileMonkey That would be a perfect break away from the normal Strangereal progression. An Ace combat which takes place 40-50 years before the events of Ace Combat 2.

@@WarpPal it could also go into how the various arms of Belka's militaries and projects got their start. Maybe Also delving into more historical conflicts and disasters relative to the Strangereal universe.

it is was created by the Usean Allied Forces not to be confuse with ISAF (Independent State Allied Forces) during the Usean Coup D'etat. its most well known pilot is Scarface 1 also now as Phoenix. i think it most unique feature is the salamander cockpit system. i wonder how deadly it is if it combine with QAAMs? sure the COFFIN system is nice but i prefer the Salamander due to it giving me more firepower.

[@LectroAce]

Go to Acepedia

[@andrewlee-do3rf]

6:38 Speaking of stealth. The ADF-01 has a few features that make it not so stealthy. To start, its canards is one of the issues. The front of the ADF-01's canard has a rather really flat angle. So this makes deflecting radar signals away a bit difficult. HOWEVER, this drawback is sort of slightly compensated by the front, and back angle of the canard using the correct planform alignment.......BUT.......the canard's planform alignment with the rest of the aircraft NOT SO MUCH. In addition to this, the canard is angled upwards away from the same plane as the wing. So, since the canard is not in line with the wing (meaning that it doesn't blend well with the main wing), this increases RCS......BUT, when looking from the front of the ADF-01, the canard looks to be somewhat blended in with the top part of the engines.....so maybe this affects RCS for good, or worse, IDK, quite hard to say. Secondly, the forward swept wings of the ADF-01 looks to be detrimental towards its stealth. I think forward swept wings MAY be able to reflect back radar signals back (along the frontal arc of the aircraft). Which isn't great for stealth. I think this may occur by the radar signal hitting the FSW (Forward Swept Wing), then being bounced toward the fuselage, and then being bounced back by the fuselage towards the radar emitter. HOWEVER, even if this occurs, the radar signal being bounced multiple times could scatter, weaken, or "dilute" the signal before it goes back to the emitter (this would still be bad, but not as bad). This part is just my opinion, but I think there may be a slight issue with FSW. To make matters worse, the FSW on the ADF is not planform aligned properly. The last thing I want to talk about is that the aircraft has very large protrusions sticking out of its wings. These are the engines, and they stick out like a sore thumb. Usually large protrusions like these degrade stealth quite a bit Anyways, despite having some poor stealth characteristics due to the aforementioned 3 features I talked about, these same features are useful for increasing the maneuverability, speed, and control of the aircraft. So, I am guessing the ADF is more orientated for agility rather than stealth.

[@BreadIsKindaGood]

Funny enough this has the same stealth level as the adf 11 which is in the highest stealth tier

[@Nacoli_Tomahawk]

the forward swept wings don't reflect radar much,as the wave would hit the main frame and defect to somewhere else,similar to real life Su-47 Berkut,which proved to be quite stealthy even comparable to her sister Su-57

[@Shattered_Skies]

So, after the Belkan War (1995), Belka focused on AI technology to replace their lost pilots, and that evetually led them to create the drones that would be sold to the erusean radicals in the Lighthous War (2019), right? I love how it's all tied toghether so well! If only the games did a better job explaining it...

[@ANDREALEONE95]

Yes.

[@spare1518]

@@ANDREALEONE95 《yes》

[@derekbastinck811]

Riddle me this: You mean to tell me that the Oseans managed to finish a Falken before deciding they didn’t need any for frontline service? The OADF should have made this their primary fighter instead of investing so much in the Arsenal Bird program

[@Kubadaniels]

this are prototype planes that are super costly, just like irl america its not easy to rearm whole Air Force

[@ANDREALEONE95]

They did not do it for two reasons: the COFFIN technology that was still under develpment and did not see mass scale use until 2020s and then due the scandal caused by action of Grunder which came close to annihilate both Osea and Yuktobania.

[@ArcturusOTE]

Are you suggesting that we spend hundreds of millions of Zollars to develop cutting edge high performance fighters to be used by one of the largest air forces in the world? Gee doesn't that sound familiar?

[@derekbastinck811]

ANDREALEONE95 See, I don’t think there was a scandal, considering the documents regarding the Circum-Pacific War were not to be made public until 2020. Furthermore, Grunder’s still in business despite starting a war between the world’s two major superpowers (How, I do not know). Either way, I imagine investing in COFFIN would have been a lot easier than investing in a flying UAV aircraft carrier weapons platform from scratch

[@majorborngusfluunduch8694]

I find the ADF and ZOE programs very interesting in terms of what they tell us about post-war Belka. I wanna see a new armed conflict involving Belka as a direct participant and I want to see what kind of Air Force has been created (most likely in secret) in the time between 1995 and 2019. Does Belka have a whole stockpile of Falkens ready for the call to action (note how in AC5 and even late in ACZ I think, Belkan pilots seem to have widely adopted or started to adopt the Su-47, a fighter with forward swept wings like the ADF-01)? How many of those planes would be controlled by the ZOE AI? Are the ADA-01 and ADF-11 part of the picture? Naturally, in such a storyline It'd be nice if we could take the role of a Belkan Pilot. With the spread of Belkan technology it would also a be a good time to see the COFFIN generation of planes creep in as other countries try to counter what Belka deploys in this hypothetical conflict. Maybe bring in real world 6th generation fighter concepts like the Tempest to help pass the torch from Real world planes to AC3 planes.

[@MrKeserian]

I'd really like to see Belka as an ally to Osea, it'd be a really good "role reversal" compared to what we're used to seeing in the games so far.

[@SrMissileMonkey]

@@MrKeserian esp with the defense of Stonehenge

[@Slender_Man_186]

Well, the ADF-01 Morgan, Falken, and ADF-11F Raven were all made by Grunder, currently in “northern Osea”, but people in the area still consider themselves southern Belkans, and I’d say a rebellion in the area is likely. I’d be surprised if one of the ADF series aircraft didn’t play a major role in a 2nd Belkan War.

The Falken looks like an alien aircraft and I really dig it! It kinda reminds me of the Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop.

As someone who has always wanted to play Ace Combat and can finally play it with AC7. This might be my favorite Strangereal aircraft along with the wyvern/strike wyvern. Love the forward sweeping wings.

[@omegalegion1769]

You know a lot about the planes I use to fly. I use to be in ace combat 4,5, & Balkan war. I haven't flown in a long time and i miss my wings. You and others have given me to go back into the cockpit yet again. Sidenote: I subbed because of how knowledgeable you are and I like to see a nice ace combat community

[@andrewlee-do3rf]

6:44 For a fighter jet, it carries a LACKLUSTER amount of missiles. ESPECIALLY internally. And this isn't helped by the fact that the front part of fuselage (carrying the front landing gear) is blocking the back for a large enclosed weapons bay. Having a lot of missiles is important, since a lot of missile shots miss their targets IRL. Surprisingly, EVEN against unalert enemies in somewhat inferior aircraft (and equipment)

[@raddox7]

First, mixing Ace Combat and IRL is already a mistake. Second, if you really wanna talk about irl, missiles like the Python-5 AIM-9X, and IRIS-T exist. Their tracking capability is so good that in my opinion you don't need to bring a lot of them.

[@justinl8791]

The most iconic of the AC super planes. And funnily enough, it's actually slightly stronger than it's successor the Raven in some areas despite being almost 20 years old, as proven in a previous video. I know this thing is extremely expensive to produce in mass numbers but if Osea actually did(since they technically own Grunder now), it'll be MUCH less easy to be invaded by other countries during wars.

[@SephyClone7]

That may be the reason that the Ravens perform slightly worse then the Falken. They were designed for power and mass production in mind

ZOE is painted on the side of the aircraft if thats not concrete enough i dont know what is.

[@Sorain1]

One day they might make a game that is effectively a remake of ace combat 3, only instead of being a simulation, it'd follow the actual in universe release of Nemo into the world and the ensuing mess as it hunts down Abyssal Dyson, with no government or military in universe knowing what's going on. UCAV's getting hacked to hunt each other down all over the place, chaos ensuing as the hijacked UCAV's sometimes intervene to defend pilots of either side from being shot down... So many fascinating story possibilities I hope they get around to it.
