The Inferno is the eleventh mission of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War.

Plot

The Allied forces of the Osean Federation have decided to launch an assault on the Belkan city of Hoffnung, which houses the nation's main weapons production facilities in order to accelerate the end of the war, and thus have asked Ustio for help.

Upon arriving to Hoffnung, the mercenaries discover that the bombing operation has degenerated into a full-blown carpet bombing, with the Stratofortress operators deploying their ordnance with no regards whatsoever to civilian casualties as a massive fire rages within the city.
