When Air Force Commander Admiral Hariri introduced the combat situation, Hussein's frustrated expression looked like he hadn't relieved himself in over half a month.
As a dictator who relied on a military coup to gain power, Hussein was well aware of how perilous the current situation was.
Although Hariri tried his best to use more positive terms to describe the combat situation, there was no denying the fact that the Iraqi Air Force had lost the morning's battle. Two of the most advanced MG-29 fighters had been shot down over Kuwaiti airspace near the Saudi border.
Furthermore, the Liangxia Air Force had suffered no losses.
As for the combat reports released by the Air Force headquarter, they were for propaganda purposes.
The battle had just started. It was too early to declare winners or losers, and even if defeated, it was imperative to portray oneself as the victor!
