1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Twelve days have elapsed since the downing of American Airways 587 by the Iranian frigate IRIS Khoresht-e Fesenjan over the Persian Gulf. In response US naval forces sunk the frigate IRIS Tahchin and heavily damaged corvette IRIS Kuku Sabzi and two patrol vessels. However, the US president and congress is still under heady pressure from political groupings, the Pentagon and public opinion that executed retaliations are inadequate.
To address dismay and to further project power in the region the US Navy was ordered to perform a strike on mainland Iran. Naval intelligence identified the 384th Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Battalion “Chaapgar-e daftar kharaab ast” based in Firuzabad as a suitable target due to the battalion’s involvement in the shoot down of AA587 and to cripple overall intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities.
Following the shoot down incident, the Iranian Air Force showed a record high presence in the air, with a significant decline in the last two days. Intelligence suggests that Iran’s many CAP missions have taken its toll on aircraft with an already high maintenance debt. This window of opportunity played right in the hand for Navy mission planners.
However, the US Air Force intervened in the last minute, to first accompany the strike package, and in the end through political maneuvering, acquire command of mission planning and execution. The new mission commander is the highly decorated Air Force Col. Ernest “Deadgun” Kiszobaeslowski.
1.2 Area of Operations

Remarks: Iranian combat air patrols have significantly declined the last two days. Still, intelligence estimate that Iran has at least ten airworthy generation 3 fighters at disposable. Six of these are based at Shiraz northwest of the target area.
1.5 Ground Threats
Enroute/Ingress/Egress: SA-10 and SA-11 installations east of proposed ingress route. Unconfirmed but likely close-in support by SAM and AAA installations respectively.
Target Area: Confirmed SA-2 and SA-6 installations. Previous intelligence has spotted rotating SA-3 and AAA sites. Other systems cannot be ruled out due to the situation. Expect manpads at key installations.
Remarks: Intelligence has pinpointed three permanent SAM installation at or on close proximity to the target area, and an additional five on daily rotation. Iranian air defense employ advanced surface to air tactics.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
The year is 2014. Civil war has been raging in Syria for two years.
A Mossad agent has infiltrated a fraction of the Islamic State, (IS) who has sent back Intel on a much disturbing matter.
During a push towards Aleppo, on siege of Kuweires, east of Aleppo, IS has come to possession of several ex. Soviet tactical nukes, as well as a research facility. It appears that the Syrians could be willing to use these weapons in this conflict.
The word is out that high generals in the IS want use these as dirty bombs in other parts of the world.
This presents a clear and present danger to Israel! This opportunity cannot be tolerated to escape our grasp.
We must act now to destroy all traces of this facility to neutralize this existential threat to our nation!

Secondary missions are a QRF mission (AH-64) on Hezbollah outpost east of Golan heights.
Latest intel shows a build-up of a possible artillery strike from Khan Arnabeh just outside the DMZ east of Golan heights. Approx. pos N33° 11.0′ E 035° 53.5′.
Find a good overwatch position and monitor conditions. If they are preparing the artillery to fire (raising barrel/rockets and aiming towards Israel) you are cleared to engage.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
In the volatile geopolitical landscape surrounding the Middle East, tensions have escalated to a critical point. Intelligence reports from multiple sources confirm the existence of a clandestine nuclear facility nestled in the outskirts of Palmyra, Syria. This facility, believed to be under the control of a rogue faction with ties to extremist elements, poses an imminent threat to regional stability and global security.
The discovery of this nuclear facility has sent shockwaves through international diplomatic circles, prompting urgent action from coalition forces to neutralize the threat before it reaches catastrophic proportions. Codenamed “Operation Desert Fury,” a joint task force comprising air, ground, and special operations units has been assembled to execute a precision strike on the facility.
Located in a remote desert region, the facility is heavily fortified, protected by layers of anti-aircraft defenses and a network of hardened bunkers. Intelligence suggests that the facility is engaged in uranium enrichment and weaponization, raising concerns about the proliferation of nuclear capabilities into the hands of extremist groups.
With time of the essence, the coalition forces have mobilized assets from nearby airbases, including fighter jets, bombers, and reconnaissance aircraft. Special operations teams have been deployed to gather real-time intelligence and assess the enemy’s defenses, while ground units stand ready to provide support and secure the perimeter post-strike.
The success of Operation Desert Fury hinges on meticulous planning, seamless coordination, and the bravery of those tasked with executing the mission. Failure is not an option, as the consequences of allowing the nuclear facility to remain operational are too dire to contemplate. The clock is ticking, and the fate of the region hangs in the balance as coalition forces prepare to strike at the heart of darkness near Palmyra.
The F/A-18C Hornets, sleek and lethal, streak across the sky, their afterburners blazing as they spearhead the assault. Flying in tight formation with precision-guided munitions strapped beneath their wings, these multi-role fighters are poised to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy’s defenses.
Following closely behind, the F-16C Fighting Falcons, renowned for their agility and versatility, carve through the air with practiced expertise. Armed with an array of air-to-ground missiles and precision-guided bombs, they provide crucial close air support to suppress enemy anti-aircraft fire and neutralize ground threats.
Meanwhile, the F-15E Strike Eagles, known as the “Mudhens” for their ability to fly low and strike hard, soar overhead with a thunderous roar. These formidable aircraft, armed to the teeth with advanced targeting pods and standoff weaponry, loom large in the sky as they prepare to unleash hell upon the enemy’s fortified positions.
But it’s not just American firepower that fills the skies over Palmyra. The distinctive silhouette of the Viggen, Sweden’s rugged and reliable fighter-bomber, adds an international flavor to the coalition’s aerial armada. With its sophisticated avionics and precision-strike capabilities, the Viggen proves to be a valuable asset in the campaign to dismantle the enemy’s nuclear ambitions.
In the operational theater near the border between Syria and Beirut, the A-10 Thunderbolt IIs and AH-64 Apaches have been tasked with providing critical close air support (CAS) to coalition forces operating in the area, as well as covering a high-priority prisoner transport operation.
The Harrier aircraft have joined the mission to strike at an SA-8 threat that has been detected in the operational area where the AH-64 Apaches and A-10 Thunderbolt IIs are providing close air support (CAS) to coalition ground forces. With their vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, the Harriers offer unique advantages in conducting precision strikes against enemy air defense systems, such as the SA-8.
Equipped with a variety of air-to-ground munitions and advanced targeting systems, the Harriers are ideally suited to engage and neutralize the SA-8 threat from a variety of angles and altitudes. Their ability to operate in confined spaces and rapidly reposition makes them highly effective in engaging mobile and concealed targets, such as the SA-8 launcher.
Coordinating closely with the AH-64 Apaches and A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, the Harriers leverage their speed, agility, and versatility to deliver decisive blows to the SA-8 threat, clearing the way for unhindered CAS operations in the area. By neutralizing the enemy’s air defense capabilities, the Harriers ensure the safety and success of coalition ground forces engaged in critical missions along the border.
Furthermore, the presence of the Harriers demonstrates the coalition’s commitment to maintaining air superiority and eliminating threats to regional stability. Their rapid response and precision strike capabilities play a vital role in achieving mission objectives and safeguarding coalition forces operating in this dynamic and challenging environment.”
With the addition of the Harrier aircraft, the coalition’s air strike capabilities are further bolstered, enabling the neutralization of the SA-8 threat and ensuring the continued effectiveness of CAS operations in support of coalition ground forces.
1.2 Area of operations
The southern region of Syria is also characterized by a mix of urban centers, agricultural areas, and strategic infrastructure such as military bases and airfields. This diverse landscape requires a multifaceted approach to military operations, including both conventional and unconventional tactics tailored to the specific challenges of each environment.
1.3 Time and weather

1.4 Air threats
With the Syrian Air Force severely depleted and only a handful of their MiG-29s deemed airworthy, the coalition planners factor in this intelligence into their mission strategy. Recognizing the limited air defense capability posed by the Syrian Air Force, the coalition’s air superiority is significantly less challenged.
However, they remain vigilant, understanding that even a few operational MiG-29s could pose a threat to the mission’s success. In response, additional measures are put in place to counter any potential aerial threats.
1.5 Ground threats
BMP-2, ZSU-23 Shilka, MANPADS, SA-10, SA-2, SA-6, SA-8, MANPADS
The presence of advanced surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems such as the SA-10 (S-300), SA-2 (S-75), and SA-6 (Kub) poses a significant challenge to the coalition’s mission to destroy the nuclear facility near Palmyra. Additionally, the threat of Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft guns further complicates the air campaign.
SA-10 located at the Palmyra airbase and the SA-2 at the Nuclear facility
With the additional intelligence confirming the presence of an SA-10 at Abu al-Duhur and an SA-2 at Tal Siman, coalition commanders reassess the potential impact of these SAM sites on the mission to strike at the nuclear facility near Palmyra. After careful analysis, it is determined that these sites are unlikely to interfere with the primary mission objectives.
The SA-10 at Abu al-Duhur and the SA-2 at Tal Siman are located outside the operational area of the mission to strike at the nuclear facility. Their engagement ranges and altitudes do not intersect with the flight paths or target areas of the coalition’s strike aircraft, minimizing the risk to the mission.
1.6 Friendly forces
The offer of support from the Jordanian Air Force (JAF) to provide F-16A Fighting Falcons for protection of aerial refueling tankers and Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft at the border of Jordan is a valuable asset to the coalition’s mission.
The deployment of ground forces, including trucks, Humvees, and a Hawk battery, at the border between Syria and Beirut plays a crucial role in supporting the overall mission objectives and enhancing the security of the region.

v1.2
1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Over the past year, Iran has significantly upgraded its military capabilities through arms deals with Russia, notably acquiring MIG-29S fighters equipped with advanced R-77 missiles.
Recent threats towards the UAE, underscored by the menacing posture of deploying SCUD missiles, have escalated tensions in the region. Iran’s aggressive stance, manifested in direct threats to Al Minhad Air Force Base and naval mobilizations, has prompted a critical response to ensure regional stability and safeguard strategic interests.
1.2 Area of operations
The most obvious landmark and the largest island in the Strait of Hormuz is Qeshm Island with 3 smaller islands to the south and east. The islands as well as the coastal area consists of mostly open terrain with two major cities along the coast, Bandar-e Lengeh west of Qeshm Island and Bandar Abbas northeast, Where Bandar Abbas Intl is located right on the eastern edge of the city.
Inland, it changes to hilly and mountainous terrain which allows good opportunities for radar shadowing and low ingress/egress to Lar airfield.
1.3 Time and weather
DTG 270400DMAY21
Clouds Scattered 18-20k ft
Wind from 026̊ / 8 kts
Temp 21̊ C
FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013
1.4 Air threats
Iran’s air force consists mainly of MiG-29S Fulcrum and F-14A Tomcats. Latest intelligence indicates that 4-8 MiG-29S stationed at Qeshm Island, 4-8 MiG-29S stationed at Bandar Abbas Intl, 4-8 MiG-29S stationed at Lar and 4-8 F-14A stationed at Shiraz Intl.
Assessment: 25% is used for CAP, 25% on high alert and the rest in reserve, or undergoing maintenance.
1.5 Ground threats
Iran’s air defense network has been significantly bolstered, featuring a range of SAM systems including SA-2, SA-3, SA-6 and mobile SA-15 and SA-19. In addition, the presence of AAA and MANPADS around air bases and other important infrastructure must be taken into account.
Assessment:
2 x SA-2 in the area around Bandar Abbas
2 x SA-2 on Qeshm Island
1 x SA-6 on Larak Island
1 x SA-6 at Lar Airfield
1 x SA-3 in the area south of Lar Airfield
The recent acquisition of HARM detection technology indicates an advanced and adaptive air defense strategy.
Assessment: This is still only used on a limited level prioritized for systems such as the SA-6
SRBM-launchers have been observed at Lar, Qeshm Island and near Bandar Abbas Intl.
Keys required for launch from Qeshm and Bandar Abbas Intl are deemed to be held by two generals who are currently on Qeshm and Larak Island.
Assessment: Neutralize these generals gives us time to deal with the threat of SRBM and is therefore seen as HVT. However, destroying the SRBM-launchers is our main goal. The SRBM’s at Lar is estimated to be able to be fired within 2 minutes.
One Grisha-class and one Tarantul-class corvette anchored in BQ 82 (South of Bandar-e Lengeh).
Assessment: These are judged to advance towards Qeshm Island when we begin the attack.
1.6 Friendly forces
F-14B and F/A-18C onboard CVN-72 stationed in the Persian Gulf, AH-64D onboard LHA-1 stationed in the Strait of Hormuz.
All other flights currently at main base Al Minhad AFB.
SOF units active in the AO. Currently conducting reconnaissance in NAI 1 and NAI 2, capable of marking targets with IR-pinter.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Iran’s armed forces have taken control of the airports and all non-combatant airport personnel have left the area. Beyond that, no evacuation has taken place.
2 MISSION
1. DENY use of SRBM-systems against UAE
2. DENY use of ASM-systems in the Persian Gulf
3. CLEAR Qeshm Island- and Bandar Abbas Intl. airfields
4. DENY use of Lar Airfield
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Endstate
Mission complete when we have freedom of movement, at sea and in the air, in the eastern part of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hurmuz.
We have reduced the threat of SRBM against UAE.
3.2 Concept of Operations
INITIALLY one (1) flight STRIKES Lar Airfield, one (1) flight STRIKES ASM-systems at Tunb Island, one (1) package DESTROYS SA-2’s at Qeshm Island, one (1) package DESTROYS SA-2’s at Bandar Abbas and one (1) package HOLDS at Khasab.

2024-03-31 20:00 - 22:00 | Normandy
RSVP: 24 04 01 – 19:30 (please sign-up asap though, as it makes things easier to plan)
Activity: Basic practice in props
Theatre: Normandy 2.0
Modules: Anything that has a spinny thing in front
Prerequisites: None

Information
Vind: 066/9
Startfält: Farnborough
Bana i användning: 240
Genomförande
Starta upp och taxa när redo. Stig till 3000 fot och flyg sydväst ca 8 nm till fältet Odiham som är vår övningsplats för första delen. Börja med övningarna:
Övning 1 går ut på att få en känsla för vid vilken fart som en stall inträffar i ditt plan och består av tre moment. Oavsett moment så går det snarlikt till. För att framtvinga en stall så behåller du höjden samtidigt som du drar av gasen till tomgång. När farten minskar kommer du behöva dra tillbaka stickan mer och mer för att behålla höjden – och snart har du en stall. När stallen inträffar så trycker du ner nosen och ökar på gasen ( och fäller in klaff/ställ om ute) för att åter få upp farten och sen stiger du tillbaka till 3000 fot.
A) Stall i ren konfiguration (Inga flaps och landningsstället infällt) & planflykt (rakt fram).
B) Stall i ren konfiguration & i en 45 graders sväng
C) Stall i landningskonfiguration (Ställ nere och flaps där du har dem för landning) & planflykt
Gör varje moment en eller två gånger och kom ihåg / skriv ner farterna för varje scenario. Notera skillnaden i fart mellan de olika scenariona. Du vet nu hur långsamt du kan flyga ditt plan vid landning utan att katastrofen inträffar. Varför är det här viktigt? Jo, för att om du har för hög fart på finalen så kommer du behöva en väldigt lång bana för att få ner farten för landning, och en lyx som långa banor har vi inte alltid.
Övning 2 går ut på att kontrollera planet i den kritiska sista fasen innan landningen, finalen. Som pilot är ditt problem att sjunka ner till en viss höjd vid en given punkt – ~30 fot ovanför marken vid tröskeln till banan – samtidigt som du vid tröskeln har en fart som är ~10-15 mph över din stallfart. Om du ligger ovanför glidbanan så kanske du inte hinner sjunka ner i tid utan att din fart blir så hög att du inte kommer hinna landa.
Välj ut en punkt på marken en lämplig bit bort – en skorsten, lada eller något annat som du ser enkelt. Låtsas sen som att det är tröskeln till en landningsbana och påbörja en rak final mot det objektet med flaps och ställ nerfällda. Försök att hålla en fart som är ca 10-15 mph över stallfarten i landningskonfiguration som du identifierade i övning 1. Försök ligga på glidbanan samtidigt som du inte låter farten bli för hög eller för låg.
Om farten börjar öka så höjer du nosen en aning, och om farten minskar så trycker du ner nosen
Om du ligger under glidbanan så ger du lite mer gas, och om du ligger över glidbanan så drar du tillbaka lite på throtteln
Fortsätt finalen tills 500 fot, avbryt, stig upp till 2000 fot och försök igen. Gör detta 2-3 gånger.
Avslutningsvis prövar vi på detta kring Farnborough. Bana 24 är i användning och det är vänster trafikvarv som gäller. Anslut till trafikvarvet och gör ett par studs-och-gå. Gå rakt upp i varvet igen efteråt. Försök klara av 5 studs-och-gå innan sista landningen.

Övningstisdag - VFR Airfield Operations
2024-04-02 19:30 - 22:00 | Caucasus
Vi börjar 19:30 med en teoretisk genomgång om hur flygning VFR på och kring ett flygfält ska gå till. Vi berör trafikvarvet, olika punkter av intresse kring flygplatsen, flygledningsfraser och så vidare.
Sen hoppar vi in i tornet och våra respektive moduler och prövar på teorin i ‘verkligheten’. Kutaisi GND, TWR och CTRL kommer att vara bemannade så värm upp radiorösten och lägg ILS:en på hyllan!

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
September 2015. Operation Inherent Resolve. US forces are supporting rebel activity in northeastern Syria, operating out of bases in Turkey.
Recently, Russian forces have entered the conflict, supporting the Assad regime. Tensions are high.
On the evening of September 29th Hawg8, Rage9 and Nitro5 are on a routine CAS and MEDEVAC mission when they are ambushed by previously unknown SAM assets attached to Syrian government forces, possibly with covert support from Russia. Hawg81 and 84 are hit, with 84 making a hard emergency landing near enemy lines while the rest of the flight make it to a rebel-controlled airbase at Tabqa. Remaining rotary wing assets are unable to perform SAR due to the SAM threat and retreat to another rebel-controlled base at Tal Siman.
The ditched pilot, callsign Carebear, activated his emergency beacon and we read it moving north. Hopfully, this means he is alive but attempts at direct radio communication have been unsuccessful. The fact that he is on the move also indicates the presence of enemy troops but we’ve been unable to confirm this. Satellite photo reconnaissance has been unavailable throughout the night due to cloud cover.
The pilot must be rescued ASAP and if the airframe is still intact, the classified equipment in it must be destroyed. It will be a race against time as the Syrian Army is probably already in the area, with reinforcements known to be advancing from the western side of the Euphrates. With daylight approaching, it will be more difficult for Carebear to stay hidden and the Syrian Air Force will most likely be out in greater numbers to interfere with the rescue.
To complicate matters further, the political situation is quickly and unexpectedly deteriorating with Turkey declaring their bases off limits for launching offensive operations into Syria – probably a move by President Erdogan to gain favor with Russia. This throws a wrench in our planning as most of our assets are based there. We will now have to settle for what assets are available at Ramat David. Also, a carrier strike group (CVN-72) is being rushed in from the western Mediterranean. They are advancing under total EMCON to maintain the element of surprise.
1.2 Area of operations
All of Syria. Northern Lebanon (Syrian Army has control of Rene Mouawad air base). Note that Turkish airspace is strictly off limits for offensive operations, emergency diverts only. Also, do not operate within 20 nm of the Russian forces which have established themselves in Latakia and Bassel Al-Assad.
1.3 Time and weather
* September 30 – 2015
* 05:00 local time (first light around 06.00)
* SCT 8/10 FEW/SCT 24/26
* Wind 265 / 6
* FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013
1.4 Air threats
MiG-21, MiG-29, Mi-24, Mi-8
The Syrian Air Force is on high alert but has limited all-weather capability. A few patrols are bound to be airborne or on alert around the clock but most of their fighters and helos will be grounded until daybreak.
Air assets are known to be based In Aleppo, Rene Mouawad, Tiyas, Palmyra and Damascus.
The Russians have a significant presence at the air base of Bassel Al-Assad and the nearby port and city of Latakia. Their ambassador has bluntly stated that they will not defend the Syrian regime should we attack but he assures us that they will act in self defense if “their” airspace is violated.
1.5 Ground threats
Strategic air defenses consist of SA-2 in Damascus and Rene Mouawad, SA-10 in Palmyra and Aleppo, SA-11 in Tiyas and a Russian SA-11 in Latakia. All airfields have fixed and/or mobile AAA.
Mobile SA-6 and SA-19 units cover the Syrian government offensive in the Euphrates region.
We have no specific intel on SHORADS such as SA-8 but they should be expected near fixed installations. MANPADS are ubiquitous.
1.6 Friendly forces
Syrian rebel forces control much of the region east of the Euphrates river. AAA and MANPADS cover is available around the Rebel stronghold in Kharab Ishk as well as the Tal Siman and Tabqa airbases.
Syrian Army forces have been reported near the friendly rebel base at Kharab Ishk. It will likely be attacked before dawn. A small support convoy is moving from Tal Siman to reinforce but we still expect them to be seriously outnumbered and in need of air support.
A small detachment of the British SAS, callsign Bravo 2-0, is serving as advisors to the rebel forces. If we can establish communications with them, they might serve as a contingency plan for getting Carebear out of the hot zone.
In the south a Patriot battery has been forward deployed to the Golan Heights east of Kiryat Shmona.
Tankers with HAVCAP support will be flown in from Iraq to support the mission.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air traffic is grounded.
2 MISSION
Rescue the downed pilot and destroy the airframe.
Assist Rebel forces in repelling the Syrian Army’s offensive east of the Euphrates.
Let the Syrian regime know they messed with the wrong guys.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Rescue the pilot. No one gets left behind!
DEAD vs the SA-6 and the SA-19 near the crash site to enable CSAR.
BAI vs any Syrian Army assets east of the Euphrates.
Destroy the bridge over the Euphrates river NE of Manbij (Grid DA25) in order to delay the main thrust of the Syrian Army’s advance.
Inflict maximum casualties on the Syrian Amy and Air Force, in the air and on the ground.
3.2 Packages
The mission contains three packages. Package Leads will be responsible for individual flight tasking.
RETRIEVER – Warthogs, Apaches and Hueys based out of the divert airfields in northeastern Syria, tasked with CSAR and BAI. Package Lead is Hawg83 (Kingtiger)
BEAGLE – Hornets out of CVN-72 tasked with deep penetration Strike, DEAD and Escort to facilitate the CSAR mission and halt the Syrian Army’s advance. Package Lead is Arctic11 (Bankler).
SHEPHERD – Vipers and Strike Eagles out of Ramat David, tasked with SEAD/DEAD and offensive counter-air to prevent the Syrian Air Force from interfering with the CSAR mission. This will also serve as a diversion to allow BEAGLE safe ingress. Package Lead is Hitman31 (Deadgun)
Forces not part of any package:
Viggens and Mirages from Ramat David will crater the runways at Damascus and perform SEAD/DEAD vs the SA-2 system located in that area.

3.3 Order of events
Mission starts at 05:00 (sunrise is at 06:25, first light expected around 06:00).
At 05:05 naval assets will launch a pre-emptive cruise missile strike to disable the Rene Mouawad airbase, SA-2 site and EWR. TOT 05:10. Expect brevity TRITON confirming their destruction. This should allow safe ingress for package BEAGLE.
Viggens and Mirages take off from Ramat David ASAP to disable the SA-2 system in Damascus and crater the runways there, reducing the threat against package SHEPHERD
Package SHEPHERD takes off from Ramat David ASAP to conduct offensive counter-air engaging any airborne Syrian fighters as well as taking out those still on the ground at Tiyas and Palmyra. SEAD/DEAD vs SA-11 in Tiyas and SA-10 in Palmyra.

3.6 Flight tasking
Notes to all flights:
Avoid a 20 nm zone around Latakia. If violated, expect a shooting war with Russia.
Avoid Turkish airspace for offensive actions. Emergency diverts to Gaziantep or Sanilurfa are authorized.
All airfields in Iraq and Jordan are available for diverts and refueling but not rearming.

RETRIEVER
Primary objectives:
CSAR – rescue our pilot! Report HOMECOMING on success.
Strike – locate the airframe of Hawg84 believed to be in grid DA35, and destroy it once you have confirmation that the pilot is elsewhere. Report BONFIRE on success.
Secondary objectives:
BAI vs Syrian Army forces. Primarily those approaching the rebel base at Kharab Ishk and those that may threaten the CSAR mission but any and all Syrian forces are considered a viable target.
Notes:
Carebear’s emergency beacon is transmitting on AM 2.000 MHz. SIGINT places him in a 10-mile square encompassing grids DA26-27 / DA36-37. He should have red smoke and flares to mark his position as you approach.
Package BEAGLE is tasked with silencing the SA-6 and SA-19 known to be in that area. TOT 06:00, expect brevity LIGHTS OUT confirming their destruction

BEAGLE
Primary objectives:
Strike the bridge at N 36°37.932′ E 38°12.197′ – report SHOWSTOPPER on success
Destroy SA-6 and SA-19 near the crash site, likely within 10 nm NE or E of target bridge. Orbital assets will be used to determine their exact location, expect updated intel during startup or en route.
Provide air cover for package RETRIEVER during CSAR.
Secondary objectives:
Resources allowing, you have permission to attack the Syrian air base at Aleppo. It is, however, the most fortified Syrian stronghold at this time so avoidance may be better than confrontation.
Notes:
Target bridge is a solid piece of engineering, choose munitions accordingly
CAP cover is available during early ingress and late egress but beyond that, this is a self-escorted mission.
If you are detected early, it is likely that significant forces will scramble from Tiyas, Palmyra and Aleppo to Intercept you.

Do not depart until TRITON.
EMCON procedures: Radar OFF and zip-lip on open radio (datalink and MIDS are considered safe) until you are at least 20 nm inland.
Intel suggest staying as low as possible to avoid detection. Near the target area the Euphrates river valley should provide cover.

Arco1 will fly in along the border between Syria and Iraq. ETA 06.10 to set up tanker track approx 60 nm east of your objective.
Arco5 will remain feet wet to service Elvis and Mustang.
Expect deteriorating AWACS cover as you move further inland.

SHEPHERD
Primary objectives:
Strike the airfields at Tiyas and Palmyra, including their SAM-sites, reducing the Syrian Air Force’s ability to interfere with RETRIEVER and BEAGLE. Since this is in part a diversion, we want them to see you coming. High altitude ingress with at least one flight.
Offensive counter-air vs any Syrian Air Force assets in your AO, whether on the ground or in the air.
Notes:
Although not listed as an explicit objective, your package is expected to deliver the message “You reap what you sow”. Inflict maximum damage on Syrian Army and Air Force assets.
Limited BGM-109 resources are at your disposal. Suggest targets to Mission Command.
If the Syrian Air Force gets off the ground we hope they will engage you, not RETRIEVER or BEAGLE. Plan your escort / CAP accordingly. If available, additional CAP resources from CVN-72 (Mustang4 and Elvis5) will take up CAP around Al Qusayr.
To cover your rear, Mirage and Viggens from Ramat David will strike Damascus (SA-2 and airbase).

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
It’s only been a couple of hours since the conclusion of the previous mission. Wounds licked, aircraft handed over to the Crew Chiefs for loving maintenance, debrief done and dusted. Now all that’s needed is a nice, long shower and good nap. And then the klaxons sound. ALL HANDS ON DECK. What now? Are the Syrians a bit butthurt by our beating? Did we unintentionally awaken the Russian Bear? The answers will come. Get in your Nomex and head to the briefing room, STAT.
To recap the last mission:

Our pilot was successfully rescued. A few more were shot down but this time we had air superiority and could rescue them.
The Syrian army was cut off from the northern sector thanks to the destruction of the bridge near Manbij. Syrian forces east of the river were severely decimated. Unfortunately, they managed to wipe out the rebel presence at Kharab Ishk.
The rebel-held air base at Tabqa was hit but only sustained minor damage as the Hinds were swiftly dealt with. Tal Siman was not hit. Friendly forces landed at those bases and will need to be brought home.
Successful defeat of the enemy air bases at Tiyas and Palmyra, along with their strategic SAMs.
The air base at Damascus is still open for business, and so is the SA-2 there. Same with Aleppo and the SA-10.
During egress, several small boats (Boghammer size) were identified just off the shore, south of Latakia.
Syrian army scouts were encountered close to Tabqa. Significant ground forces are expected to follow.
Turkish and Russian airspace was violated. Diplomatic negotiations are ongoing to de-escalate.

1.2 Area of operations
All of Syria, for what we know.
The 20 nm exclusion zone around Latakia is still in effect.
Turkey has notified us that their NATO obligations are suspended. Their airspace is now closed and will be defended with force.
1.3 Time and weather
* September 30 – 2015
* 09:00 local time
* SCT 8/10 FEW/SCT 24/26
* Wind 265 / 6
* FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013
1.4 Air threats
MiG-21 and MiG-29 still operational in Aleppo and Damascus – possibly dispersed to nearby smaller bases. Intel estimates no more than 8 aircraft of each type remaining in total. Mi-24 and Mi-8 were seen in the last mission, confirmed in Aleppo and Palmyra but can be based pretty much anywhere. Unknown numbers.
1.5 Ground threats
SA-2 Damascus. SA-10 Aleppo. Russian SA-11 in Latakia. SIGINT has noticed several SA-6 batteries coming online south and west of Tabqa. It appears they are trying to trap our forces. SHORADS (SA-8), AAA (23 mm) and MANPADS are still plentiful.
Batallion-sized mechanized forces believed to be advancing towards Tabqa and Tal Siman, on the western side of the Euphrates river.
1.5.1 Sea threats
The Boghammers found off the shoreline south of Latakia are probably rigged with explosives and/or small anti-ship missiles. Our Carrier Battle Group is the obvious target.
1.6 Friendly forces
Rebel forces were severely decimated in the northernmost area. Survivors retreated to Tal Siman and Tabqa where they will make their stand against the inevitable Syrian advance. AAA and MANPADS cover is available there.
Our forward deployed Patriot battery east of Kiryat Shmona is still operational.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air traffic is grounded.
2 MISSION

Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established small bases on Guam and Rota. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Tinian and Saipan islands in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement has just started with raids from carrier based aircraft.
Situation:
US light bombers (A20) are attacking a site where the enemy is trying to re-establish a EW-radar on the south tip of Tinian. Escort the bombers, and provide light attack (strafing/rockets) to suppress enemy AAA in the area. Stay away from the heavy AAA at Tinian airbase.
Take off and climb to 6,000 feet, rendezvous west of Rota in grid BO.
