Throughout the night, ground forces have started to advance towards Masan and Changwon. These are the two main cities before reaching Pusan.
There are still significant SHORAD presence that prevents us sending in the A-10 and AH-64 past the FLOT.
The intent is to destroy 4 x OSA-II ships, and as many SHORAD units as possible, staying west of Masan.
A BARCAP of F-15 is operating just west of the FLOT.
SEAD flight to clear any AAA radars, or other pop-up SAM threat.

Note that Pusan runway has been repaired, and Mig-29s have been seen scrambling the past couple of hours.

Flight Role: TASMO
Warkawk11: Pegasus AA=0 AG=8 RTB
Warhawk12: Mango AA=0 AG=0 KIA

MS

Warhawk1 was tasked with the northern pair of OSA-IIs, and we carried 1 Maverick-G and 2 SDBs.

After a bit of muddling around with boresighting the Maverick (don't forget to get out of 'Master ARM OFF'), we proceeded to the target area to take the boats first and any ground targets of opportunity with the remaining munitions.

Because of the trouble boresighting the Maverick, I decided to put Mango in 15 mile trail and take a single SDB shot at each of the boats, to light them up to be easier to spot on the Maverick display.

Turns out, this plan did not work, the Mavericks were actually fine to find the boats, and the single SDB was enough to (eventually) kill the OSA-II outright.

I did fire my Maverick at the northern of the pair of boats as the boat was not even smoking according to my TGP.

Mango got too low (angels 12) on approach and got killed by an SA-8.

With the remaining SDBs I got 6 ground units (T-90s and BTRs), and there are plenty more to be cleared.

Joined with the 2 remaining aircraft of Jaguar3 for RTB.

Lessons learned: don't ignore SAM radar warnings, and respect min altitude for SAM engagement.
