Air battle force

the long version

Maverick pilot Patrick McLanahan is assigned a simple task: devise and build the air combat unit of the future. His answer, the Air Battle Force - a rapid-response team of elite commandos protected by state-of-the-art body armour and supported by an armada of unmanned planes. His idea is soon put to the test when the oil-rich Republic of Turkmenistan becomes a battleground between Taliban insurgents, former Soviet overlords, Iranian opportunists and American oil companies and politicians.
