"Guess they've come to pick on the dead again."
Larry Foulke

The 6th Tactical Fighter Squadron, also known as "Schwarze Team", of the 13th Night Fighter Air Division was a squadron of the Belkan Air Force during the Belkan War. It was led by the former Yuktobanian Air Force pilot Dominic Zubov and crewed by mercenaries.[1] It operated eight MiG-31 Foxhounds bearing black and red paint schemes.

Schwarze commonly uses XLAA missiles to attack at long-ranges. When the squadron engages it splits into two units consisting of four aircraft each. One of the unit engages first, while the second unit engages later. The second unit's opening volleys usually consist of XLAA fire.

History

Schwarze ("black" in German/Belkan) had first, officially, seen combat during the Belkan War in 1995. During the war, the entire squadron gained a reputation of fear among both the military of Belka and the Allied Forces.

The squadron was commonly tasked with intercepting Belkan aircraft attempting to defect or leave the battlefield for whatever reason. According to the military record from Sepp Bonhof (Schwarze Four), this squadron performed other unknown tasks as well. Like all units of the 13th Night Fighter, Schwarze was never officially tried by Belka for their actions, since they had completely unrestricted orders to engage both enemy and allied forces at will.

On May 28, the 6th Tactical Fighter Squadron was dispatched to assassinate Belkan ace Wolfgang Buchner, also known as "Huckebein the Raven". Buchner had been ordered to drop a nuclear weapon on a Belkan city, but disobeyed and attempted to flee Belka.[2]

Schwarze Team pursued the deserting ace into the infamous Airspace B7R, also known as the Round Table, where the Allied Operation Battle-Axe was then under way. Schwarze lost track of Buchner in the furball and instead engaged the Allied mercenary Galm Team. The entire squadron was shot down in the resulting engagement.[3]

With the end of the Belkan War, all members fled the country, changed their identities or seemed to disappear. In 2005, Brett Thompson interviewed Zubov in Oured, Osea where he was suspected to be part of a smuggling ring.[4]
