Trivia

 * The orange tails and outer wings on the Erusean Su-30SMs resemble those of the QF-4 and QF-16, which were used by the USAF as remote-controlled target drones.
 * This, along with an Osean pilot's observation in the Gamescom 2017 trailer, likely hints that the EASA uses one or more of their Su-30SMs as a testbed. The extent of which still remains unknown.
