The red aggressor force uses a Russian-made SA-11 Buk missile system ? a surface to air missile launcher ? to target the blue opposition forces during RED FLAG-Alaska 09-1 aerial combat exercises Oct. 6, 2008, at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. F-16 crews, acting as aggressors, keep in contact with the SA-11 crew to coordinate and lock onto blue forces while engaged in aerial combat.
