F-15SG, although derived from an Air Superiority fighter is more of a Strike Fighter by nature. In a given mission, a Strike Fighter should focus on dropping their bombs on the target.
Although they can be armed with air to air missiles while in a strike loadout, these missiles are few since the other hardpoints would have air to ground weapons in them.
It's the job of the Air Superiority fighters to defend the strike aircraft from aerial threats...
The same case happen with Herminia & Aziela.. it's Safiyah & Faina's job to defend them since the Su-27 & the F-15C are dedicated Air To Air Platforms..
For surface threats like SAMs & AAAs, some strike aircraft can carry Anti-Radar Missiles (like what Izdihar has, in the form of the AGM-88C missile).. The other girls like Pakpao and Izdihar are the ones usually taking out Surface Radars and Guns..
Sorry for the TL;DR
On the contrary, Herminia's F-15 unit can actually do more missions like Air Superiority although not in the same level as Faina's F-15C.
As why Faina wasn't the leader? simple, in this world, the South East Asia's central hub is in Singapura ^^ It's more likely the Joint Fighter Wing's leader would be from that country ^^
and yep, possible love interest with her mechanic ^^ after all, Herminia needs to be close to someone familiar with her unit ^^
Lastly, do share some info about you characters
