Battle Information:
The Gault Squadron flies for the Belkan Air Force, but disappears soon after the war's beginning. They fly the maneuverable Su-47 Berkut and specialize in close range air to air combat. They call their flight formation "Gault's Golden Nest".

Background:
In January in 1995, the Gault Squadron was sent to the front line with their commander Anton Kupchenko, in hopes of them helping Belka expand their borders. The Gault Squadron suddenly disappeared in March of 1995. With no way to keep track of them, the Belkan Air Force announced that they had all died in combat.

It is believed that when the Gault disappeared in March of 1995, "A World With No Boundaries" was formed and began to expand. During Operation Thunderbolt the 66th AFU Galm of the Ustian 6th Air Division engaged the Gault Squadron over the Round Table. After a battle and being shot down, their aircraft's remains are found on December 31st, 1995 on the edge of Air Space B7R.
