Operation Whale Hunt was an operation conducted by the United Nations Forces dedicated to destroying all USEA Federation Air Fleets.

Battles
There were four known USEA Federation Air Fleets.

The first was engaged above the Alps in southern Europe. It was escorted by squadrons of Su-47 Berkuts. Both Alpha and Bravo squadrons launched a surprise attack on the air fleet. They destroyed both Gyges-class aerial warhips first as their fire support was crucial. Next, they destroyed both Kottos-class aerial warships before attacking, and destroying, the Aigaion.

The second, was engaged off the shore of the "Troia Route". The second fleet featured an upgraded Aigaion-class heavy command cruiser which sported a red colour scheme. It was escorted by multiple squadrons of T-50s. The course of the battle mirrors the one prior.

The third, was engaged over Comona Base. The Aigaion leading this fleet was heavily upgraded compared to the original. It sported a golden colour scheme, and had laser pods opposed to standard point defence guns. It was also, escorted by multiple T-50 squadrons. The course of the battle mirrors the one prior.

The fourth, was engaged over Moscow, Russia. The Aigaion leading this fleet sported a black colour scheme and was equipped with laser pods like the previous heavy command cruiser. It was too, escorted by squadrons comprised of T-50s. The course of the battle is similar to the one prior. However, while Alpha and Bravo squadrons were engaging the final Aigaion, Camilla, being escorted by a swarm of MQ-99s, arrived to defend the final cruiser. After Alpha and Bravo successfully destroyed her QFA-44, they shot down the final cruiser.
