Our ground forces are trying to push into the Balkan western edge. In particular, they are heading for Ubdina AB so it can be used as a future base for us.
With that plan in mind, we must return to our last targets to clear out as much of the air defences as we can.
Ubdina has a fully operational SA-3 battalion and it must be neutralised with the destruction of the Low Blow and Flat Face. Remnants of the SA-2 battalion should also be targeted, but this is secondary to the Low Blow. This task has been allocated to Gamble 2.
At the other air base, Zeljava, the neutralisation of the SA-3 battalion highlighted the existance of two AAA battalions. This shall be the primary objective of Plasma 7.
A new F-15C squadron has arrived at Pula and they shall be setting up a DCA CAP for the F-16s in the form of Rumble 4. They will be on station for twenty minutes, starting at 08:42 at FL280.

The position of the FLOT has been indicated.
Note that there will be no AWACs available for this mission.

Flight Role: AI
Gamble21: Pegasus AA=1 AG=6 RTB
Gamble22: Jules AA=1 AG=9 KIA
Gamble23: Noodle AA=0 AG=8 TECH
Gamble24: Mango AA=0 AG=1 RTB
MS
Went in with 1 and 2 line abreast to take out the Low Blow defending Udbina. Pegasus' first GBU31 missed completely. A second attempt took out the Spoon Rest. The Low Blow had been recon'd as the same location as the Spoon Rest and it was hard to tell it apart.
Luckily Noodle hit the Low Blow later.
Several launchers were also destroyed making this a MS.
Mango destroyed the secondary target of the Depot.
Once we were all dakota, we set up a CAP until Plasma7 were done. After several uneventful circuits, Mango picked up a '27' (turned out to be Su33s) hot from the east. Noodle and Mango engaged supported by Pegasus and Jules.
This is when Pegasus' and Noodle's internet connections played up. Noodle lost all connection, and Pegasus had crippling lag.
Jules was unlucky and overflew an SA-13 when defending and was shot down. Mango and Pegasus managed to survive and RTB'd.

Flight Role: AI (DEAD)
Plasma71: "Griffin" AA=1 AG=12 KIA
Plasma72: "Bayonet" AA=0 AG=8 RTB
Plasma73: "Fisty" AA=0 AG=8 RTB
Plasma74: "Redfox" AA=0 AG=1 EJT
MS (originally thought we'd failed, but Mission Commander shows we actually killed the briefed targets.
Took off and went to our IP, SP4 in 3 mile trail and using our GBU-12s attacked and destroyed our targets and other high value targets. A good orbit to systematically drop bombs in order at FL220 resulted in good kills. Redfox had some tech issues using the weapons but Fisty helped him out. Fisty was kicked out of the flight twice and couldn't return. He had thankfully released his weapons before that.
While we waited for Redfox and Fisty to finish their bomb runs, Bayonet and I went to help Gamble with incoming SU-33s. I killed one but disrespected the MAR and paid the price.
Redfox was also shot down and Bayonet was the only one to get home.
