Neutralizing Agent

The Neutralizing Agent (alternate name "NTRL") is a unique air-to-ground weapon featured in Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War and Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception.

Description
The Neutralizing Agent is a purpose-built weapon designed to supress chemical weapon threats. A type of modified Unguided Bomb, the weapon is designed to be released from an aircraft towards a target. Upon impact, the bomb releases a white-colored chemical substance which neutralizes any chemicals within the blast radius.

Neutralizing agents were first deployed by the Osean Air Defense Force during the Circum-Pacific War, when a group of Mirage 2000D fighters carrying NTRL bombs were deployed to subdue a chemical terrorist attack in Bana City. Ten years later, they were used by the Aurelian army in the Leasath-Aurelia War, when they were used to stop the deployment of a chemical called cynocrine in Santa Elva.
