Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown HD - M16 Last Hope.

The communication breakdown is revealed to be the result of Kessler syndrome resulting from simultaneous Osean and Erusean ASAT operations. In the midst of the chaos, Strider Squadron is tasked with providing cover for a defecting Erusean general trying to broker peace between the warring nations. Throughout the escape, the general elaborates on how the Erusean radical faction conspired using technology borrowed from Belkan to start the war, frame Trigger for Harling's assassination, and manipulate most of the government and military to further their goals. After successfully escorting the general to an extraction chopper, AWACS Long Caster detects an EASA liaison plane entering the airspace with four escort aircraft. The transport comes under fire from a squadron of Erusean fighters, and Strider is sent to their defense. After fending them off, however, the escorts suddenly target Strider and the liaison plane; an unknown figure aboard the plane reveals that the escorts are autonomous drones. Strider shoots down the escorts as well as a group of MQ-99s that, unbeknownst to almost everyone, were launched by the escort fighters themselves. In the chaos of the battle, an Osean AWACS mistakenly labels the general and his escort as impostor spies and directs an F-16C to shoot down the extraction chopper, killing everyone on board.
