With the Adoption of the F-15E Strike Eagle in the early 1990s into the Erusean Air Force, also saw a strategic shift toward multirole airpower for the country as well. Tasked with both air superiority and precision strike missions, the 171st TFS would quickly prove to be a force multiplier in 1993 during a minor border clash between Erusea and their neighbor to the east, Amber. Their total dominance against the latter’s forces is what some credit to later events leading up to the Continental War, which the 171st played a major role in the early days of. Using precision munitions, the 171st destroyed key ISAF infrastructure in Amber and Ugelles.
Following the war, the unit would transfer into the Royal Erusean Air Force and would deploy again in 2019 against Osean Forces that were massing near Sierraplata, destroying millions of dollars worth of equipment in half a dozen raids that had not been countered by OADF aircraft.
