[XCOM and inspired games] At the beginning of the invasion I'm able to shoot down UFOs with conventional aircraft bought from my sponsors. How come none of the Earth's other air forces are helping me out?

I mean if regular aircraft are totally viable against the smaller UFOs, why is my organization the only one doing anything? You'd think any UFO that's not totally impervious to regular missiles would get torn to shreds as long as it entered the airspace of any wealthy nation. Even when the UFOs get more dangerous you'd think I could just share the specs of fusion missiles or whatever and they'd at least be able to get a couple shots of before being blown out of the sky.

Also goes for ground missions I guess. How does a group of 10-20 aliens that can be killed with assault rifles survive in the middle of a large city long enough for my dropship to arrive?

Hello Commander,

We acknowledge your request for support and backup. However, we cannot provide you with the ships and resources in the quantities you need.

In the lead-up to their invasion, with the element of surprise and vastly superior technology, pre-emptive strikes destroyed the vast majority of our aircraft and fixed defences. Being located on the surface, and requiring large amounts of land for fixtures like airstrips likely made locating them child's play for the aliens. Your underground base avoids this weakness, by being invisible from orbit and not requiring a runway to launch your fighters.

As for the other Council members and our allies overseas, many of them are fielding obsolete equipment due to the time and cost involved in upgrading military equipment such as aircraft. These obsolete craft are often lacking either the range or fire-power to significantly engage with the alien craft to the degree that your bleeding-edge strike craft are able.

As always, it is your directive to defend us from outside threats when all other avenues have failed or been deemed hopeless.

Good luck, Commander.
