A faceless enemy
In Top Gun: MaverickMaverick (Tom Cruise) and his young teammates are responsible for the destruction of a clandestine military site, hidden somewhere in a mountain range. We know that this site is protected from missilistic batteries from the ground, fifth generation of soukhoï su-57 Russia manufacturing e A few Tomcat F-14iconic American hunter and star of the first Top gun.
The country where this military site is not identified, characterized only by the term “blocking status”, qualifyingA country that does not submit to international lawsor even associates with terrorist organizations. No name, no faces, only anonymous enemies pilots, who will have to be for Maverick and his pilots.
There are two reasons why the identity of Bad It is not revealed. The first is due to the fact that the mission itself is secondary in Top Gun: Maverick. If this is the goal of pilot training, this bombing mission is a pretext To show training on the basis Top gun And the flights led by the hero of the film.
The second reason has something politics. Indeed, unlike Top gunPublished in 1986 and therefore for years of cold war that of course has designated The USSR As the main antagonist, Top Gun: Maverick It comes out in a globalized world where it is not easy in a realistic fiction This or that country has the good head of the villain.

During the bombing mission, while trying to escape the enemies of the Su-57, Maverick and Gallo are massacred. After being able to expel, they are near the base that welcomes enemy planes, including some Tomcat F-14.
