Question about Top Gun (1986)?

[Vivaldi]

At the final scene, with whom did USA Planes (Tom Cruise and others) have a battle with?

[AI Opinion]

In the final scene of *Top Gun* (1986), Maverick, played by Tom Cruise, and the other U. S. Navy aviators engage in an intense aerial battle against enemy MiG-28 fighter jets. The adversary is not explicitly named in the film, but they are portrayed as a foreign opponent with superior aircraft capabilities, adding to the drama and thrill of the movie's climax. ✈️🎬

Only implicitly, but still: Red star on the planes = Soviet Union.

[Vivaldi]

I just watched the movie and I did not understand with what country USA Planes are having battle with.

I did not catch anyone making a mention of it.

[DryGermanGuy]

No, they don't mention it. It's just "the enemy", which in 1986 was the Soviet Union.

Its implied that they're Soviet planes.

However the planes they used to film were repainted American F-5 Tigers.
