The Sapin Air Force 9th Air and Land Division, 11th Tactical Fighter Squadron is seen in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. The Espada fly one J35J Draken and one Rafale M in a two ship formation. Their combat style relies on the two pilots to be in perfect timing with each other.
History
Like multiple units from Yuktobania, Belka, Ustio and Osea, the Espada Squadron had disappeared from the frontlines of the Belkan War. When they later resurfaced, it was confirmed that they had joined the organization "A World With No Boundaries" for their own personal reasons.
The Espada Squadron was tasked with escorting the organization's main transport/mobile HQ, XB-0 Hresvelgr. The Hresvelgr was not originally owned by "A World With No Boundaries", nor was it made for them. It was taken by them after the organization gained information on it's location. It's location was believed to be given away by the founder of the group Anton "Dr." Kupchenko, but this has not been confirmed.
The Espada Squadron was engaged by the Ustian 6th Air Division's 66th Air Force Unit 'Galm', after the XB-0 attacked the 'South Belkan' city of Lumen and later, Valais Air Base. As the Hresvelgr flew North, past Steir Castle in Belka, presumably going towards Avalon Dam, the Galm Team appeared on the battlefield. The Espada engaged the Galm Team, but was shot down within the first stage of the battle. Later, the XB-0 was brought down.
