The 16th of July 1969, very early morning.
Yesterday a dozen flyers of the first Air Cav took part in a close-call extraction of a ranger platoon. Although the mission was deemed successful, all souls could not be brought to safety. A few men, approximately ten, were left behind on LZ Daze.
In addition, Yellow 2-3, the last Huey to enter the LZ Daze struck his tail with trees on short approach. What followed was a showcase of skill as the aircraft commander, callsign Lirc, managed to set his Huey down without causing any more harm. 20 seconds later the crew of 2-3 found themselves left behind and fighting side-by-side with the troops they were supposed to bring out.
This newly formed team made radio contact with higher command before sunset, all alive but clearly in a dire situation, and on the run. How they escaped the LZ is mostly unknown, but the gunships and their crews of Black flight did what they could to aid Yellow 2-3 and the grunts in evading capture during the initial combat at LZ Daze.
The CO at LZ Horseshoe, along with other staff are planning a day full of flight including a rescue mission to retrieve those left behind. Hopefully, the Air Force will join the struggle today.
//Yellow 1-1, out.

Lineup:
Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established a small base on Guam. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Rota island in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement is expected soon.
Situation:
Allied intelligence has picked up signs that the Japs are building an EWR radar station on the south part of Aguijan, the small island south of Tinian. Destroy it before it becomes oprational! This is very close to the enemy aribase at Tinian so CAP units should stay with the package until the attack starts in order to avoid alerting Japanese defenses prematurely.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Chinese and Russian forces have taken Saipan and Tinian Island in total surprise. We lost contact with Rota just the evening before a severe storm arrived which hindered sat recon. The same evening, we repelled an air strike on Guam. Due to the bad weather in the recent days, we have little to no intel about enemy naval activity. The weather has cleared up to some degree, but we do not have accurate satellite intel yet. Electronic recon shows the signature of a type 52C destroyer northwest of Guam that should not be there. The emission disappears again, and then lits up again for a short period of time, but it is moving towards Rota or Saipan. The enemy is likely to attack again and we have reports about chinese J-11 and JF-17 in the area. We suspect an enemy carrier somewhere far north.
Furthermore, we have indications that there are several SAMs (at least one SA-10) active on Saipan or Tinian. Rota shows SA-15 and SA-19. Air command wants the short range AD on Rota taken out and we absolutely need intel about Saipan to prepare further actions.
There are some indications that enemy units are proceeding towards the small village Songsong at the southwestern tip of the island.
Under the night, we got several reports about military equipment getting ready for marching southbound. We do not want to give the enemy more time to regroup.
1.2 Area of operations
North and northwest of Guam.
1.3 Time and weather
* July 21 – 2016
* 06:00 local time
* Scattered (8200′-15000′)
* Wind 320 / 10
* QNH 2972
1.4 Air threats
J-11, Su-33, JF-17
The enemy is suspected to have a carrier air group operating in the area. As Saipan fell into enemy hands, JF-17 and J-11 are to be expected. Also, a bomber strike from the mainland to prepare further advance is possible. The enemy is limited in numbers due to recent engagements, but not in terms of quality.
1.5 Ground threats
Multiple SAM systems, from older soviet types to SA-10. Expect 2S6 Tunguska (SA-19) and SA-15 on Rota, probably moving towards the southern tip to strengthen the defense line towards Guam and / or secure the small village in preparation for a final punch towards Guam.
1.6 Friendly forces
N/A, we are the only blue forces in the AO.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
None. Weapons free on anything without a positive IFF reply.
2 MISSION
Tasks:
1. Cover Guam.
2. Find the enemy convoy.
3. Clear Rota island as far as possible. Look for enemy landing ships in the area, sink them if present.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
The mission consists of two packages with independent goals. The goal on Rota is to degrade enemy forces on Rota to avoid further enemy progression and prepare a counteroffensive towards Saipan.
To achieve this goal, we want to take out the convoy that is expected to be north of Guam with resupplies.
A secondary goal is gathering intel of the situation in Saipan, especially about the type and position of enemy air defenses.
3.2 Packages
The mission contains 2 packages, callsign NEPTUNE and UNDERTAKER.
NEPTUNE consists of:
AJS-37:
– FENRIS 6: Recon / Anti-Ship
– GRIM 7: Recon / Anti-Ship
F-18:
– ARCTIC 1: CAP / Escort, Package lead
– BENDER 2: Anti- Ship
F-14B
– ELVIS 5

UNDERTAKER:
F-16:
– JESTER 1, SEAD
– INDY 9, CAP / ELINT, Package lead
A-10:
– HAWG 8
AH-64: RAGE 9
3.3 Order of events
3.3.1 Offensive actions
This operation consists of two main actions:
– Reduction of enemy forces on Rota.
UNDERTAKER package will push on Rota to clear out as many enemy forces as possible.
The SEAD flight will go first and take out as many SA-15 and SA-19 as possible. After that, HAWG and RAGE will push with HAWG being second and Rage being third. INDY will support with finding enemy AD with HTS and provide backup CAP. If mission allows, INDY will test air defenses on Saipan by pushing and noting radar types and approximate position.
Common takeoff time is 0620.
– Find the enemy ships north of Guam, sink as many as possible.
We have a flight of B-52s that have enough Harpoons to saturate the 52Cs air defense. The B-52s will wait for an accurate position to launch their Harpoons, so after there is radar contact or we get fired on and can tell the approximate position, they will launch their missiles. After the Buffs are done, NEPTUNE package will push on the convoy to do BDA and finish any leftovers. It is absolutely necessary to wait until the BUFF harpoons strike the convoy before firing own missiles to allow the 52C to empty their vertical launcher system which can’t be reloaded on the sea and this is expected to take it out of business one way or another.
All pure CAP flights are also organized in NEPTUNE package.
3.3.2. Defensive actions
Protect our last remaining island and the carrier group at all costs.
3.4 Rules of engagement
ROE: C
As per SPINS
Only guided weapons and no clusterbombs are to be used near civil structures. Defensive actions have priority, we need to protect Guam and our carrier group.
3.5 Acceptable level of risk
ALR: MEDIUM, as we need to save resources, and low for the ELINT mission on Saipan.

Propellersöndag V24 - Rhubarb
2023-06-18 19:30 - 22:00
Rhubarb: small-scale freelance fighter sorties against ground targets of opportunity.
Klockan är 06:30. Datumet är 5e Maj 1943. Låg molnbas ligger över kanalkusten och för med sig optimala förhållanden för RHUBARB-operationer. USAAF P47 & P51 samt RAF Spitfire & Mosquitos startar från sina baser i England, flyger över kanalen på låg höjd och jagar på fri hand tyska styrkor i det ockuperade frankrike.
Prioritet är tåg, obepansrade markfordon och bränsledepåer.
Varje flight ansvarar för sin egen färd- och bränsleplanering. RTB sker på respektive FLs ansvar. Det ska vara radiotyst mellan alla flighter efter att ni lämnat England & därför mycket viktigt att alla håller sig till sina tilldelade områden.
Större städer, hamnar & flygfält skyddas av Flak.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Chinese and Russian forces have taken Saipan and Tinian Island in total surprise. Due to the bad weather in the recent days, we have little to no intel about enemy naval activity. The weather has cleared up, but we do not have accurate satellite intel yet. Electronic recon shows the signature of a type 52C destroyer northwest of Guam that should not be there, it is moving towards Rota or Saipan. The enemy is likely to attack again and we have reports about chinese J-11 and JF-17 in the area. We suspect an enemy carrier somewhere far north.
Furthermore, we have indications that there are several SAMs (at least one SA-10) active on Saipan or Tinian. Rota shows SA-15 and SA-19. Air command wants the short range AD on Rota taken out and we absolutely need intel about Saipan to prepare further actions.
There are some indications that enemy units are proceeding towards the small village Songsong at the southwestern tip of the island.
Under the night, we got several reports about military equipment getting ready for marching southbound. We do not want to give the enemy more time to regroup.
1.2 Area of operations
North and northwest of Guam.
1.3 Time and weather
* July 21 – 2016
* 06:00 local time
* Scattered (8200′-15000′)
* Wind 015 / 10
* QNH 2972
1.4 Air threats
J-11, Su-33, JF-17
The enemy is suspected to have a carrier air group operating in the area. As Saipan fell into enemy hands, JF-17 and J-11 are to be expected as Saipan allows for non-carrier capable fixed wing types. Also, a bomber strike from the mainland to prepare further advance is possible. The enemy is limited in numbers due to recent engagements, but not in terms of quality.
1.5 Ground threats
Multiple SAM systems, from older soviet types to SA-10. Expect 2S6 Tunguska (SA-19) and SA-15 on Rota, probably moving towards the southern tip to strengthen the defense line towards Guam and / or secure the small village in preparation for a final punch towards Guam.
1.6 Friendly forces
N/A, we are the only blue forces in the AO.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
None. Weapons free on anything without a positive IFF reply.
2 MISSION
Tasks:
1. Cover Guam.
2. Find the enemy convoy.
3. Clear Rota island as far as possible. Look for enemy landing ships in the area, sink them if present.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
The mission consists of two packages with independent goals. The goal on Rota is to degrade enemy forces on Rota to avoid further enemy progression and prepare a counteroffensive towards Saipan.
To achieve this goal, we want to take out the convoy that is expected to be north of Guam with resupplies.
A secondary goal is gathering intel of the situation in Saipan, especially about the type and position of enemy air defenses.
3.2 Packages
The mission contains 2 packages, callsign NEPTUNE and UNDERTAKER.
NEPTUNE consists of:
AJS-37:
– FENRIS 6: Recon / Anti-Ship
– GRIM 7: Recon / Anti-Ship
F-18:
– ARCTIC 1: CAP / Escort
– BENDER 2: Anti- Ship, Package lead
F-14B
– ELVIS 5

UNDERTAKER:
F-16:
– JESTER 1, SEAD
– INDY 9, CAP / ELINT, Package lead
A-10:
– HAWG 8
AH-64: RAGE 9
3.3 Order of events
3.3.1 Offensive actions
This operation consists of two main actions:
– Reduction of enemy forces on Rota.
UNDERTAKER package will push on Rota to clear out as many enemy forces as possible.
The SEAD flight (JESTER1) will try to take out as many SA-15 and SA-19 as possible. After that, HAWG and RAGE will push with HAWG being second and Rage being third. INDY will support with finding enemy AD with HTS and provide backup CAP. If mission allows, INDY will test air defenses on Saipan by pushing and noting radar types and approximate position.
Common takeoff time is 0620.
– Find the enemy ships north of Guam, sink as many as possible.
We have a flight of B-52s that have enough Harpoons to saturate the 52Cs air defense. The B-52s will wait for an accurate position to launch their Harpoons, so after there is radar contact or we get fired on and can tell the approximate position, they will launch their missiles. It is absolutely necessary to wait until the BUFF harpoons strike the convoy before firing own missiles to allow the 52C to empty their vertical launcher system which can’t be reloaded on the sea and this is expected to take it out of business one way or another.
GRIM7 with the Viggens unique recon abilities will be tasked with locating the group and report their positon to the command, which will then relay it to the B-52. After the B-52 have fired, FENRIS6 will push on the group, followed by or together with BENDER2. BENDER2 will also be tasked with BDA on the group.
All pure CAP flights are also organized in NEPTUNE package.
Be advised that there will be little CAP support at the begin of the operation, as INDY is the only CAP available at this time.
3.3.2. Defensive actions
Protect our last remaining island and the carrier group at all costs.
3.4 Rules of engagement
ROE: C
As per SPINS
Only guided weapons and no clusterbombs are to be used near civil structures. Defensive actions have priority, we need to protect Guam and our carrier group.
3.5 Acceptable level of risk
ALR: MEDIUM, as we need to save resources, and low for the ELINT mission on Saipan.

21 Juni 1942
Det är två år på dagen sedan Frankrike kapitulerade, vilket den tyska ockupationsmakten planerar att markera med firande över hela Frankrike. Klockan 13:00 kommer den tyska militärguvernören Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel att hålla ett tal från sitt högkvarter i Louvre. Talet ska i propagandasyfte störas, men palatset i sig får inte bombas på grund av dess historiska värde. Istället är målet den intilliggande Tuileriträdgården med förhoppningen att sirener och explosioner ska höras ut över radion till hela Frankrike, eller att Carl-Heinrich ska tvingas avbryta sitt tal och söka skydd.
Anfallet kommer att genomföras av en grupp Mosquitos utan eskort. Låghöjdsflygning är ett måste för att nå Paris innan Luftwaffe når oss.

Propellersöndag V28 - Recover the English pilots.
2023-07-16 20:00 - 22:00 | Normandy
RSVP:
2023-07-16 – 20:00

Activity:
Mission – Rescue / A/G
Version / Modules:
Open Beta, WW2 Asset pack, Normandy, Spitfire, Mosquito, P-51, TF-51, P-47, Bf-109, Fw-190A
Background and situation:
It’s been a couple of weeks since we lost Lord Apollo and Sir Mink during Operation Rhubarb.
Yesterday’s memorial service was abruptly interrupted when the pleasantly surprising news came that they had miraculously survived the crash and had recovered at the French Resistance.
The problem is that these English pilots are not so easy to hide…
(They are driving the French crazy)
We have therefore planned to pick them up at night with short notice.
The French resistance has given us position where they will set up Renault´s to mark the field for pickup with lit headlights.
However, the Germans are suspicious and search, so this must be done quickly.
We have received reports that the Germans have strengthened their air defenses in all villages.
So this must take place at night, good planning is required.
We are also waiting answer from the French if they are able to provide us with some guidance in the night like an signal fire.
Secondarily, it is also possible to retrieve duke Troll and sir Knugen who had technical problems and had to make an emergency landing. (Depends on how many of us there are)
Also their Mosquito is still in an not destroyed so if possible it´s possible for other aircrafts to perform A/G operation to destroy it before the Germans can find it and copy our technology.
If relatives of these want to participate, it goes well so Apollo’s brother Artemis, Mink’s cousin Mård. As well as Troll’s secound cousin Vätten and Knugen’s son Pirnsen are welcome to participate.
Time and weather:
* 20 June 1943
* 11:00 PM
* Scattered clouds 8 000 ft
* Wind
* FORCE QNH
UPDATE!!
The French resistance will help up with the navigation, they will launch a flare at 23:40 at in a safe spot to enter the coast line N 49°38,42 E 0°9,14

We are also expecting an attack the same day at the industry area on the south west So we are expecting heavy fire in the area that might help us with the navigation, (they will most likely be occupied with putting out fire so we are not expecting the area to be hot) N 49°28,16 E 0°33,17

The pickup point for the the pilots and the field will be manned at 23:55-00:05 by the French resistance.
They have informed that they will turn on the headlights when they hear us coming. N 49°5,44 E 0°47,49

The Mosquito have been located and the French resistance will try to launch an illumination bomb when they hear incoming flight´s but only one since they know that the enemy is also looking in the area.
Location of Mosquito N 49°17,3 E 0°42,42

OPERATION: SIREN SONG
2023-07-19 19:30 - 22:00 | Caucasus
RSVP: 2023-07-19 – 19:30
Activity: Mission – Anti-ship
Theatre: Caucasus
Modules: Mi-24, Mi-8, KA-50, SU-25, L-39C
Prerequisites: None

OPERATION: SIREN SONG
BACKGROUND:
The relocation of Russia’s naval forces from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk was driven by a combination of geopolitical, strategic, and operational factors. This decision aimed to optimize the deployment of naval assets and maintain a robust maritime presence in the region.
Geopolitical Context:
Annexation of Crimea: The annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014 led to a shift in the geopolitical landscape of the region. As a result, Russia’s control over the Crimean Peninsula, including the naval base in Sevastopol, became more pronounced.
Strategic Considerations:
Security of the Black Sea Fleet: The Black Sea Fleet, based in Sevastopol, has long been a critical asset for Russia’s strategic interests in the Black Sea region. However, concerns about the vulnerability of Sevastopol due to its proximity to potential conflict zones necessitated the need for a more secure operational base.
Enhanced Operational Flexibility: Relocating naval forces to Novorossiysk provided a more strategically advantageous position. Novorossiysk, located further east along the Black Sea coast, offered increased operational flexibility and reduced exposure to potential threats, enabling more effective surveillance and control over the region.
BRIEFING:
Objective:
The objective of Operation Siren Song is to deploy our helicopter units to search for and neutralize enemy naval drones attempting to infiltrate Novorossiysk bay in the Black Sea. The primary goal is to eliminate all hostile drones and ensure the protection of our friendly ships within the area.
Situation:
Intelligence reports indicate an increased presence of enemy naval drones operating in the Black Sea region. These drones pose a significant threat to our naval forces and must be neutralized to maintain control of Novorossiysk bay. The drones are anticipated to approach from various entry points and attempt to breach our defenses undetected.
Execution:
Helicopter Deployment:
a. Deploy Mi-24 (IVAN), KA-50 (IGOR), Mi-8 (BORIS) helicopters from Novorossiysk air base to designated patrol areas within Novorossiysk bay.
b. Arm helicopters with rockets, guns, and electro-optical systems for target acquisition and tracking.
c. Deploy SU-25 (NIKITA) and L-39C (ANASTASIA) as additional support.
Patrol and Reconnaissance:
a. Establish a systematic patrol pattern across the bay to maximize coverage.
b. Helicopters will conduct visual and additional sensor scans to detect any enemy naval drones in the area.
c. Maintain constant communication with SPUTNIK to gather real-time intelligence regarding drone sightings.
Identification and Engagement:
a. Upon detection of enemy naval drones, assess the threat level and prioritize targets based on proximity to friendly ships.
b. Engage hostile drones using rockets and guns, aiming to neutralize them before they reach the bay.
c. Exercise caution to avoid collateral damage to friendly vessels and infrastructure.
Coordination and Support:
a. Maintain continuous communication with naval command SPUTNIK for situational updates and intelligence sharing.
b. Coordinate with NIKITA and ANASTASIA for additional support.
Command and Control:
Operation Siren Song will be under the overall command of SPUTNIK.
Air support coordination will be facilitated by SPUTNIK.
Regular situation reports and updates will be provided to SPUTNIK.
Administration and Logistics:
Appropriate logistic support will be provided to ensure the sustained operational readiness of the helicopter units.
Refuel and rearm can be conducted at Novorossiysk or Gelendzhik
Timeline:
Operation Siren Song will commence at 1645 hours on the designated date and continue until the threat has been neutralized or further orders are received.
Remember, the success of Operation Siren Song depends on precise execution, effective coordination, and swift action. Our objective is to safeguard our naval assets and maintain control of Novorossiysk bay. Good luck and stay vigilant.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
The siege of Kobanî was launched by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on 13 September 2014, in order to capture the Kobanî Canton and its main city of Kobanî (also known as Kobanê or Ayn al-Arab) in northern Syria, in the de facto autonomous region of Rojava.
By 2 October 2014, the Islamic State succeeded in capturing 350 Kurdish villages and towns in the vicinity of Kobanê, generating a wave of some 300,000 Kurdish refugees, who fled across the border into Turkey’s Şanlıurfa Province. By January 2015, this had risen to 400,000. The Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and some Free Syrian Army (FSA) factions (under the Euphrates Volcano joint operations room), Peshmerga of the Kurdistan Regional Government, and American and US-allied Arab militaries’ airstrikes began to recapture Kobane.
On 26 January 2015, the YPG and its allies, backed by the continued US-led airstrikes, began to retake the city, driving ISIL into a steady retreat. The city of Kobanê was fully recaptured on 27 January; however, most of the remaining villages in the Kobanî Canton remained under ISIL control. The YPG and its allies then made rapid advances in rural Kobanî, with ISIL withdrawing 25 km from the city of Kobanî by 2 February. By late April 2015, ISIL had lost almost all of the villages it had captured in the Canton, but maintained control of a few dozen villages it seized in the northwestern part of the Raqqa Governorate. In late June 2015, ISIL launched a new offensive against the city, killing at least 233 civilians, but were quickly driven back.
The battle for Kobanî was considered a turning point in the war against Islamic State.
1.2 Area of operations
Area of operation is east northeast of Alepo and Tabaqah at the town of Ayn Al-Arab.
1.3 Time and weather
* January 26 – 2015

1.6 Friendly forces
We have SF units in the center part of the town helping with the security for the refugees. The SF units will assist as JTAC to point out targets in the green area of the town. Turkey have a large number of troops on the Turkish side of the border.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
A large number of refugees are leaving the town to the north and over the border to Turkey. The civilian is traveling by foot, cars and busses.
2 MISSION
To reduce ISIL:s power in the town of Ayn Al-Arab by eliminate all checkpoints in to the center and reduce ISIL:s ability to counter attack the YPG by eliminate there command bunker, supplies and the incoming reinforcements from the south.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
RAGE9 and ORCA6 (friendly help from the Turkish SF) to attack the checkpoints. We don’t need to reduce the checkpoints to dust, but you will need to eliminate any hostile forces at that area. Be aware of heavy fire from the ground. INDY9 will work directly with our SF JTAC on the ground in the center part of the town. ARCTIC1 will pound the command bunker and all military equipment at their WP:s. HITMAN3 will look for the two reported convoys on there way from the south. The convoy consist of a mix of trucks with what we expect to be troops. The convoys are guarded by BMP:s. HAWG8 will support JTAC with its sensors. JESTER1 will search for any ISIL buildup west of the OA.
Note that every flight needs to know their specific operations height in and around the staging area and operation area. You can only leave your flight level on request or approval from JTAC and/or package lead.
The No-Fly-Zone needs to be respected!
