Seeing as how the plot details aren't known, I'm going to flex my creative skills a little bit. "Top Gun" is famous for never revealing the nation that's the enemy, but it also isn't that hard to figure out.
The original was clearly the Soviet Union or a Soviet-aligned nation due to the fact the enemy was flying a fictional version of an MiG.
The enemy in "Top Gun: Maverick" was so obviously Iran (a bit ironic, right?) that it's almost comical it wasn't openly stated.
