Support Our Troops
With the Blue forces on a major offensive, HQ has decided to soften some armored units in their path. South of the major column are a few enemy battalions moving to flank their advance.
We are tasked to eliminate the tanks in that area.
The package consists of a 4 ship attack and an escort, which may be flow as a split-role, with one element interdicting.
THREATS:
SU-37 are a formable threat and are still operating from KUUSAMO at the far east of the map (at BE 107 @121).
Mig-29S are operating from PYHASALMI in the far southeast at BE 166 @176
SU-27 can be expected from KAJAANI at BE 148 @162.
Threats in the target area should be limited to AAA and MANPADS.
The package & objectives are:
- PANTHER1 – TARCAP -- Departs from the 185th @ GALLIVARE
- FALCON1 – Kill enemy tanks with 75% hit-rate -- Departs from the 185th @ GALLIVARE
Timings:
Flight Task TO PP TOT IDM/VHF TACAN FL
PANTHER1 TARCAP 18:00 18:05 18:14 2/2 16/79 270
FALCON1 Interdiction 18:01 18:06 18:15 1/1 11/74 220
Mission success:
PANTHER1: No losses to FALCON1 from air engagements prior to weapons on target.
FALCON1: 75% hits.

VFR Departure was a bit late due to traffic on the tarmac. So rolex +5 we pushed for IP in trail formation to correct for this. Good eyes on target we had an early look at the AO and we selected two moving column for the attack and split the targets between elements. Target we're about 5-7 miles apart which in hindsight resulted in a bit difficulty holding a proper wheel pattern for the attack but this posed no risk due to the separation in altitudes between us (FL 180) and the TARCAP and other traffic (FL 220+).
We needed a bit more playtime with the GBU-54's and we missed some because the targets we're moving very fast and some bombs couldn't make the turn to target and fell short. Next time we'll take GBU-12's or AGM-65's.
Overall a good & fun mission with excellent TARCAP support which enabled us to focus on the A-G picture. We hit the target just before our friendly ground forces started to engage the columns so I hope we we're able to soften them up sufficiently.
All jets came back RTB serviceable.
The ACMI is in the file browser 'Pilots Lobby' on the primary TS server.
MF: 75% hit rate was not achieved. |
