Yuktobanian Air Force. Alexey Shinin. By yours truly.

While Southern Operations Theater of Belkan War always draws more attention due to both location of the Belka-Ustio border and the infamous B7R airspace, the Northern Combat Theater mostly operated by Osean-Yuktobanian Allied Army has had it's share of heroes.
Before the Belkan War Alexey Shinin was a member of a small airclub. Like most members of YAF he was conscripted in the military service.. Upon learning of Belkan War, he requested transfer to the 121th IAP, which was a part of YAF sent to the Northern Theater.
Shinin has proven himself to be an exceptional pilot, rising to the ace rank in the very first month in combat service. Later in the war, when 121th IAP was disbanded due to casualties, he was tasked to take lead of 1st MIAP (aka 1st International TFW "Falcons"), formed from survivors of 121th and OADF 24th TFW.
The Falcons participated in many Northern Theater operations, which forced Belkan High Command constantly reinforce northern border instead of sending valuable assets to the Southern Theater and effectively cut off all naval communication with Belka's allies from Usean continent.
Shortly after the official conclusion of Belkan War, 1st MIAP participated in one last operation before its disbandment. While most details of that operation are classified, it is generally assumed that the Falcons were on of the squadrons involved in assault on Avalon Dam.
Shinin was shot down during that operation, but managed to eject and return safely to the Yuktobania. He is now continuing to serve in YAF in the rank of Aviation Marshal.
(Shinin is actually based on a real person. A bonus to those who can guess who).
