The Unsung War is the 28th and final mission of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War.

Plot
In December 30 2010, Osean president Vincent Harling and Yuktobanian Prime Minister Seryozha Nikanor partook in an emergency speech in the city of Oured, in which they revealed how the events of the Circum-Pacific War were caused by intervention from the Principality of Belka, which led to a joint Osean-Yuke engagement against the forces of Grunder Industries in the North Osea city of Sudentor. Towards the end of the battle, the Razgriz Air Command Squadron flew inside a large tunnel system inside a mountain, and with the aid of Jack Bartlett destroyed the Strategic Orbital Linear Gun's (SOLG) remote control systems located within.

However, the Osean military later discovered the satellite making an approach towards Earth before 05:00 AM, prompting them to assume that the weapon was designed to autonomously approach towards the atmosphere should its control systems had ever been cut off. Using data from its last known orbit, the SOLG's descent point was calculated to be downtown Oured, prompting the Razgriz Squadron to launch towards the city and destroy the satellite before its landing.

Early during December 31st, the Razgriz Squadron takes off from a freeway in a nearby Osean city, and proceed to make their way to the descent point. On their way there, the team was intercepted by a joint Grabacr-Ofnir fighter formation, who were ready to defend the satellite to their last breath. Despite their efforts, all eight pilots were killed, and the Razgriz continued with their mission.

Eventually, the SOLG reached its estimated descent point, and the Demons began their attack, their objective being to destroy the satellite before it could reach Oured. Racing against time, they commenced attacking the weapon's accelerator systems, dodging debris from the weapon while doing so. The pilot soon succeded in eliminating all accelerators, causing the satellite to explode over the skies of Oured.

Trivia

 * Using a number of weapons on the SOLG will yield interesting results.
 * Using the ADF-01 FALKEN's Tactical Laser System on the SOLG will instantly destroy the satellite. As well, this will cause the ship's accelerators to detach from the main body, leaving it as a simple rod in shape.
 * Destroying an accelerator with a Rocket Launcher barrage will, for some reason, cause the game to react as though all four targets had been eliminated.
 * If the player arrives to the descent point and spares the Belkan fighters, they will automatically self-destruct once the countdown begins.
