Flight Role: DCA
Weasel31: "Griffin" AA=2 AG=0 EJT
Weasel32: "Floyd" AA=1 AG=0 EJT
Mission Outcome: MF
Our task was to watch the western stretch of the FLOT for aircraft from the west. We climbed to FL260 with intentions of setting a CAP up.
Viper 3 were diverted to attack TU-16s and Stud were heavily engaged. we offered to help but the closer we got to them the busier the FCR became.
We soon became busy with J-11s and SU-24s. I took down one of each while avoiding one missile. Floyd in No2 did the same with one J-11.
The numbers were too high on the enemy side and we both succumbed to AA-12s and enjoyed the views for our silks.
Maybe we should have tried to go around the south coast and kill an airfield as suggested during the pre-flight discussion.

Flight Role: DCA
Callsign11: Poppy AA=3 KIA
Callsign12: Zipgun AA=0 EJT
Callsign13: Tank AA=2 RTB
Diverted after initial to Tu-16's that hit our taskforce. Zipgun lost an argument with the tailgunner. flight config intact but he bought the farm.
Northbound afterward and regroup in a two ship.
Inbound on the IP (behind 7 min. on ETA) Stud3 and Weasel3 we're introuble and suffering casualties. We we're in a position to support, and tried so from the east to west leg.
UHF saturated, gradual loss of SA (unconsciously) led to breaking MER and MAR and loss of no1. 2 planes (Tank, Sharpe) RTB'd out of 9.
POINTS:
- More in-depth debrief is needed to be able to distinguish between cause and reaction.
- Lack of central command (human AWACS -- Package command) did not aid in orchestration.
- No plan survives the first contact with the enemy. Adjust briefs accordingly.
