While Dhimar becomes a wealthy and economically powerful country, Paran has become poor. In September 1933, Shah Mushani decides to put a halt to the conflict, following numerous attempts to capture the Mazadran oil fields. When drilling operations begin in the oil fields, Shah Mushani of Paran sends his troops across the border, beginning a long conflict between the nations. The story begins in 1919, when geologists discover oil in the Valley of Kerman, a place at the Dhimari-Parani border. The storyline of Strike Fighters is set during a fictional conflict between the Kingdom of Dhimar and the Empire of Paran. All of the games (except the expansion packs) can be installed stand-alone, or they can be merged to make all the stock aircraft available in all games. Eventually, a Vista/7 only expansion named Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic was released on that added more in-depth carrier ops, better avionics, terrain, better weapon systems simulation, and more. Expansion Pack 1 (for Strike Fighters 2: Israel) was released in June 2010 adding the Suez Crisis and Expansion Pack 2 (for Strike Fighters 2: Europe) followed on Decemadding a possible 1950's scenario, both containing new 1950's craft to fly. In April 2009, Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam was released, followed in June 2009 by Strike Fighters 2: Europe detailing several possible open war scenarios in the 1960s and 1970s, and by Strike Fighters 2: Israel in October 2009 which represents the various Israel-Arab wars focusing on the Six Day War, War of Yom Kippur and the Israel-Lebanon war. In doing so the latest graphical, Artificial Intelligence, and features were written into the simulation. Third Wire Productions developed the game based on the original Strike Fighters: Project 1 but had to be vastly rewritten to work with the Vista platform. The conflict is modeled as a typical Cold War era 'proxy' war between the United States and USSR where Dhimar gets help from the US and Paran uses imported Soviet equipment and expertise.
Although the countries and conflict may not be real, the aircraft and weapons used are completely accurate.
