Red AF is seriously damaged, and Blue ground forces secured most of the Sinai, establishing a secure front line.
Israeli forces are now gathering to spring a lethal strike through the Suez Canal towards Cairo, the capital of the enemy.
There are still massive Red ground reserves gathering in multiple places, planning to stop our advance, and even trying to counterattack, if they can, under the covering umbrella of the remaining and still formidable SAM network.
We have intel that the previously reduced and silenced SA-17 battalions close to the Suez Canal are active and fully resupplied again. Behind them, we have information about recently purchased and deployed Patriot systems, defending the central part of Egypt.
A large formation of enemy ground armour was reported in the Port Suez area. Our fighter bombers and attack helicopters are ready to engage them, but the SAM cover prevents us from being effective. The main element of this cover is a Patriot system, which was spotted to be active a few miles SW of Al Mansurha AB, potentially deployed close to a former radar site. This same SAM is also a crucial part of the air defense of Cairo, our final objective.
This Patriot needs to be eliminated.
Command Centre initially planned a daring attack, striking deep directly against the Patriot(s) to deliver a fatal blow.
(Classified) - A severe disentery outbreak decimated our ranks of fighter pilots, making the risky mission a suicide plan. (Classified)
New plan - instead of a direct attack, the IAF will try to reduce the defending SA-17 and HAWK battalions one by one. This is going to slow down our advance but can deliver success without sacrificing our elite pilots. 185th has proven its prowess in DEAD, now it's time to shine again. The toughest core is still functional, and Command Centre has no doubt that this onion will be peeled too.
Be advised - this is still a high-risk mission. Do not underestimate the BUK. The exact locations are not known, and the area can be littered with MANPADs too.
Location of spotted larger RED ground unit formations are shown on the map as killboxes. There are also HAWK SAM battalions in the area, as potential targets.
