North Korea and Iran are in similar stages of weapons development but don't have the aircraft in question. Russia and China have fifth-generation fighters and snowy mountains, but they also already have nukes. Critics, fans, and geopolitical experts have made educated guesses as to which country is the aggressor. They fly "fifth-generation fighters" (the planes used for filming are modified Russian SU-57s) that are superior to their own planes, making the mission even more dangerous. This time, the anonymous bad guys are on the wrong side of NATO, enriching the uranium for a nuclear weapon in treacherous, snowy mountain terrain. Hangman is now the cocksure youngster, Rooster (as styled, Teller bears a striking resemblance to Anthony Edwards) is the stand-in for Goose, and Maverick has replaced his old flame, Charlie, as the incognito teacher. This entire sequence is a reference to the bar scene in "Top Gun" but with roles switched. The next morning, Hangman and the others arrive for training to find that the man they mocked and threw out on the street the night before is actually their instructor.
Moments later, when Mav doesn't have enough cash to pay his tab, she rings the bell again as the bar full of servicemembers chants "overboard." The pilots pick Maverick up and toss him out of the establishment, and an only slightly deterred Pete becomes wistful as he watches his late friend's son, Rooster, perform "Great Balls of Fire" at the piano. There's noticeable condescension in Hangman's voice. The newly arrived cadets - including Hangman (Glen Powell), Phoenix (Monica Barbaro), and Rooster (Miles Teller) - spot the nearly 60-year-old Maverick at the bar and thank the old man for the drinks.
