Max deltagarantal uppnått och dag för sista anmälan har passerat\, ytterligare anmälningar kommer placeras som reserver. \n\nTid: 5 Juli 2025 (Sista anmälan: 5 Juni 2025)\n Aktivitet: Träff\nKarta: Skaraborg\nKläder: Shorts\, valfri längd. \nHej på er! \nMed stort nöje kan Knugen och jag presentera att vi på första lördagen i juli arragerar ett Master Meet på Ålleberg! \nÅlleberg är ett platåberg beläget ett stenkast sydost om Falköping. På berget anlade den Kungliga Svenska Aeroklubben Sveriges första (och enda?) nationella segelflygskola på tidigt 40-tal. Sedan dess har det kryllat med flyg i trakten och berget har blivit hjärtat i svenskt segelflyg. Utöver flygskolan finns idag också ett flygande segelflygsmuseum och en resturang med läcker utsikt. \nVi erbjuder en fin dag med flygmaskiner\, föreläsning\, gött käk och trevligt sällskap. Ett par av er får gärna ta bilen så vi kan erbjuda hjälp de som eventuellt anläder via tåg till Falköping. Sen går det självklart bra att flyga till Ålleberg\, det är ju trots allt ett flygfält! \nSe discord för detaljer. Eller skicka DM till Fille. \n  URL:https://masterarms.se/event/master-meet-juli-2025/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://masterarms.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/skarmflygare.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250724T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250724T220000 DTSTAMP:20260503T163926 CREATED:20250717T181207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250724T145227Z UID:11743-1753385400-1753394400@masterarms.se SUMMARY:Operation Mashed Potato DESCRIPTION:RSVP: 2025 17 07 – 19:30 (please sign-up asap though\, as it makes things easier to plan)\nActivity: Recon in force\nTheatre: Kola\nModules: F/A-18C\, F-16C\, AH-64D\, OH-58D\nPrerequisites: None\n \nSome unknown mercenaries with a russian accent have occupied an area of about 30 x 30nm in northern Finland east of Ivalo.

The initial force seems to have been infiltrated by parachutes and under the impression of being a tourist. Later on\, heavy equipment must have passed the border from russia. Ongoing talks indicate the intention to protect the local russian speaking minority. Which is probably the worst excuse we’ve ever heard. We are sure that it is a test for NATOs article 5 and have warned the russians to not mess with our operations. Russia has denied any involvement on the group. We have declared a no-fly-zone over the area\, but flying into russia is not allowed\, neither are strikes / weapon employment on russian ground.\nFighters passing the border or acting aggressively will be shot down though. We still hope to resolve the problem by the use of excessive violence but without involving russia in it. Officially.\nThe mercenaries were stopped a few kilometers in front of Ivalo\, which probably was the intented target of the operation. The enemy has employed air defenses that seem to be SA-11\, but there is “everything you can find on any black market in rural Africa”. Probably even old-style Flak in terms of large caliber AAA. \nIvalo is under fire from rocket artillery from the northeast. \n1.2 Area of operations\nEast of Ivalo\, the area consists of forest. \n1.3 Time and weather\n* May 11 – 2025\n* 01:00 local time\n* Light Scattered (7500′-11500′)\n* Wind 248 / 10\n* 7 degrees Celsius\n* FORCE QNH 2912 \n1.4 Air threats\nMiG-29S\, Su-27\, MiG-31 \nRussian CAP in the area\, but over russian soil. Probably no factor. Insurgents have no suitable helicopter base. \n1.5 Ground threats\nYes. Unclear number of air defense units\, most forces seem to consist of mechanized infantry. \n1.6 Friendly forces\nSome tank groups east and northeast of Ivalo. It’s not much\, but it’s honest work. \n1.7 Civilian/3rd part\nSeveral houses\, especially in the small settlement of NELLIM in the north of the area\, near the road going into russia. Marked with a blue square in the map. \n2 MISSION\nFixed Wing: \nThe Joint Force Air Component (JFAC) has decided to get in a few recce flights to get a clearer picture. Main push will be a few Vipers to look up air defenses from Banak and Kittilä. If we can get a few finnish hornets from Kittilä then attacking the most prominent air defense installations is a bonus.\nThe mercenaries seem to be able to access civilian radars\, as they are pretty careful with their radars.\nUse of any ordnance is cleared\, no cluster munitions near civilian installations. Recommendation for loadout is HARM + some hard kill capacity like JSOW\nAvoid any SAM systems until position is known. It is recommended to proceed along the front line.\nHelicopters will be operating in the area along the road towards NELLIM to find artillery targeting IVALO. Be prepared to support with additional eyes or buddy lasing\, if necessary.\nMain focus is to locate as many AD units as possible\, bonus if they get destroyed. \nHelicopters: \nProceed along road R969 towards NELLIM. Important points are:\nOwn forces: 35 W NS 33256 22164\nLast contact: 35 W NS 40730 27065\nArtillery is most probably between\n35 W NS 42818 28921\n35 W NS 48193 34349\nalong road R969\, as there is forest next to the road and little room for army operations or hideouts. All waypoints are along the road 969 between Ivalo and Nellim\, so you basically follow that road.\nEarlier engagements faced T-90s\, BMPs and Infantry so expect some resistance along that road. If you need additional sensors\, the SEAD recon package in the area can surely help out. Contact STINGRAY in that case.\nIf you can’t reach the artillery but manage to weed out enemy units then the mission will still be a success. \n3 EXECUTION\n3.1 Commander’s intent\nLocate as many air defenses as possible. Get an overall picture and if possible\, locate the artillery. \n3.2 Packages\nNo package management. \n3.3 Order of events\nTakeoff from Kittilä or Banak (Ivalo for Helicopters\, if any)\, and then try to locate as many air defenses as possible. The use of weapons is authorized\, just keep it outside of russia if possible. A hard lock from a fighter justifies the usage of air-to-air ordnance\, also\, just passing the border or aggressive maneuvering counts as hostile act and is seen as a “weapons free”.\nThe target zone will be divided in a northern and a southern part. Northern part is done by KRAKEN 2 and INDY 9 (around STPT 2)\, southern part is done by BENDER 2 and JESTER 1 (around STPT 4). The Vipers go in 10nm before the Hornets and try to locate any system with HTS\, and the Hornets will attack any upcoming threat if possible\, and look after smoke plumes. Any intel gathered will be collected after the mission by TGP pictures in the squad server.\nImportant notice: Call out any missile launches (Fox 1\,2\,3\, Magnum) on CH3 before launching the missile to avoid triggering the helicopters missile warning system without prior notice. \nHelicopters have their own planning\, but will progress along road R969 towards NELLIM. If they should meet stiff resistance\, requesting help from the SEAD / recon package is recommended. \n3.4 Rules of engagement\nROE: C\nAs per SPINS \n3.5 Acceptable level of risk\nALR: MEDIUM\nAs per SPINS \n3.6 Flight tasking\nWaypoints\, fixed wing \n* 1 Kittilä or Banak (Home Airfield)\n* 2 NELLIM\n* 3 RAJA-JOOSEPPI border post\n* 4-8 Front line of troops for better visualization \nIntention is to scout the area inside of waypoints 2-8.\nSituation a few hours ago: \n \n  \nRAGE9 / BLACKJACK 4 \nScout northeast of Ivalo. \nLoadout: FL decides \nWaypoints:\n1.
