Last time out was quite successful with a large number of ground units destroyed and the escorts took care of some serious air threats too.

Your next mission is based on the data received from pilots on that last sortie. The main focus is to take out as many air defence assets the enemy have. Focus on SA-11 and SA-10 emplacements are the priority. We lost some Harriers to SA-10's and this cannot be allowed to continue.

The air picture is quite busy with medium to high threats flying right across the theatre.


Fig 1: Known Enemy Air Activity

The package will act as combined AI/SEAD/Escort for each other. Mission success criteria is a global one. All flight leads are to work closely to support each other.

The patrol area is indicated by the known SA-11 site shown on the image below. Note the current local air threats.


Fig 2 - Patrol Area.

Blade 1 and Avenger 2 of the 906th and 910th squadrons respectively, shall take off from Seosan AB while Cyborg 3 of the 911th squadron take off from Chongju AB.

Package 5053
All flights are to work closely together to complete this mission.

Mission Success: Each flight is to have an average of 3 ground kills without any losses.

Partial Success: Each flight is to have an average of 2 ground kills and a maximum of 1 loss to the flight.

Remember that as this is a Package success criteria ALL three flights must meet the criteria for it to be awarded.

This would be a good opportunity for inter flight flying to take place

IDM is to be from the first flight airborne, which is Cyborg 3.

Timings
TO for Blade 1 is 07:22hrs with PP at 07:28 at FL280. TOT is 07:33. IDM 1, VHF 1, tacan 11/74.
TO for Avenger 2 is 07:24hrs with PP at 07:30 at FL270. IDM 2, VHF 2, tacan 16/79.
TO for Cyborg 3 is 07:20hrs with PP at 07:32 at FL290. IDM 3, VHF 3, tacan 21/84


Please pay attention to your designated altitudes at the push point

Flight path is fixed for mutual support.

The weather is poor at home plates and fair at the target as the weather system moves SE with more storms coming in from the north. Choose your weapons accordingly.

Good Hunting

We held a race-track CAP at approx. 20miles from STP6, an East-West on the coast to compliment the other North-South that was also on station. This was mostly uneventful. Once cleared into the target area, Floyd and myself ventured north by 25 miles to see if there was anything of real interest to shoot our HARMs at, but no joy, so we returned to the target zone, Floyd killed a AAA tracking radar, while I destroyed a search radar. Both our second HARMs killed nothing, but mine did "damage" a second search radar. In the meantime, Griffin and 'stone executed AG with AGM65s killing a total of 5 targets between them. In hindsight, Mavs were a bad choice as due to the weather, they had to go below A6 to get any kind of picture. Weather brief said fair, but it wasn't as briefed. Uneventful RTB saw all four jets returned to the hangars safely.

BTW - if possible, due to IVC comms failure in this mission, if feasible I'd like to lead again next week, please? :)

Scores updated after ACMI review.

Ingressed as fragged and held 25nm short of TGT STP, until called hot by Cyborg3. Lead and 2 went first, with Element CAPing. Lead engaged SA11s with SDBs scoring 4 hits. Then sent Element North to engage 2x SA10s emitting, about 60nm to the NNW. Both fired on these, but hit only supporting ZSUs within each Battalion and another hit each on an SA11 Batn, North of TGT STP. Oddly enough, these were showing up on RWR as Search Radars only, but the ACMI confirmed them as SA10s (the same ones that Cyborg engaged earlier). Lead then engaged a further SA11 North of TGT, but hit an already-dead support vehicle. Number 2 was then declared shooter and scored 1 hit, his 2nd HARM missing completely. Shortly after, we were engaged by 2 groups of F16, the first a 2-ship and the second a 3-ship. Both in hot from the Northeast. Element sorted on the 2-ship, while Lead pushed off the 3-ship with multiple spears on the group. Unfortunately, 2 and 3 made the age-old mistake of breaking MAR and got hit by the enemy slammers, before their own 120s hit. The last remaining enemy F16 bugged out and Gated Northeast. That left 1 and 4 to rejoin and RTB with nothing significant to report.

Overall an interesting mission, albeit a tricky one with 3 flights having to coordinate and a longer than usual playtime required to accommodate all 3.

On the way in #1 shot at Northern SA10, #2 shot at a closer SA11 and a further SA10. #3 started engaging AG which took a while due to his mixed loadout and due the fact that the ground targets were on the move.

After #3 went air-to-air, we continued capping N-S, but only on one occasion did #2 get a shot at an enemy F18 which was close to Blade. No other enemy aircraft got into the target area.

Good mission with the exception of the loss of two airframes during the mission.
