These images submitted for the 2021 Photo Contest capture fighters from international air forces as well as U.S. adversary aircraft that are painted to resemble those of other nations and flown by pilots who emulate the tactics of potential opponents. Adversary training is important to honing skills before pilots from the U.S. and its allies put them to use in combat.
