The war has started with both sides throwing up masses of air assets and SAM missiles.
Last weeks attempt to target two SA-10 Flap Lids failed due largely to the extra unknown SA-10 blocking our way, along with countless high value air assets trying to shoot us down.
The surprise SA-10 Flap Lid was destroyed by the 185th but an SA-6 was discovered as well (reportedly a Kuwaiti battalion that requested a posting here for some reason).
The two SA-10s we wanted still remain.
EDIT Two flights of four F-16s comprise this package, Cobra 5 and Weasel 7.
Weather is fair with winds from 257° at 8 knots and a cloud base of 5000 feet.
Your task this mission is to try to hit those SA-10s if possible and set up a CAP in the box shown on the figure below.
Be aware of the know SA-17 battalion to the north of the CAP zone.
Mission success is that you expend weapons and all get home safe.
Plan was to keep red air from getting too close and engage SA-10s. We set up 2 flights chainsaw, Cobra keeping on the N edge of the box and Weasel S, Cobra taking the first hot leg.
#3 fired Harms in POS mode which both missed, SA-17 popped up from N then S. #1 fired Harms at pop-up SA-17 and SA-10, #2 destroyed 2 SA-17. Good effects of Harms on SA-17 so far, SA-10 threat in the area is still major.
CAP was reset for a SE engagement with Su-30 supporting Weasel7 then back to original plan.
We chased Su-24s and #1 got to some cold sweats when the SA-6 popped up. Looks like it was not interested in me this time!
