Disregarding a number of fighter jets that were blown up and shattered, and only highlighting the heroic behavior of one of the fighter jets, giving it enough brilliance and attention, is this a personal heroism or a machine heroism? In 1990, it was not bad to shoot such a frightening and thrilling film in the air. Find out through this film. In the air battlefield, once the fighter plane takes off, it basically becomes a flying coffin. Be nice to the pilot brothers around you when you have time! I don't have a pilot by my side, just be nice to myself.
