Foothold Saturday- Kandalaksha Deep Strike
2025-02-15 20:00 - 22:30 (Europe/Stockholm)
Situation
Efter Kemi Tornio och Rovaniemi är befriade så transporteras nästan hela ryska logistiken på järnvägen och motorvägen längs Loukhi / Kandalaksha / Apatity och sen till Olenya där allt fördelas med flygplan till olika platser i Finland och Norge. Området är dock bra försvarat, tidigare spaningsuppdrag har visat SA-11 och SA-15 men utan exakt position. Fientligt luftvärn finns (förmodligen) på LOUKHI (söder om målområdet) och nära KANDALAKSHA.

Det finns två broar nära Kandalaksha där all trafik mot Olenya måste passera.

Järnvägen, östra bron:

Motorvägen, västra bron:

Uppdrag
Kvällens uppdrag är att slå ut dessa två, om möjligt. Om anfallet mot huvudmålet är omöjligt eller bedöms för riskfullt så är det sekundära målet ZELENOBORSKI STORAGE söder om det egentliga målet.
Genomföring
Anfallet måste genomföras med minst en 2000lbs bomb på varje mål. Önskemål är en 4-ship som strike. Dessutom behövs minst två fpl som SEAD escort.
Det finns två möjliga anfallsriktningar:
– VOUJÄRVI – SAVUKOSKI – KANDALAKSHA med i dagsläget oklart SAM hot på Alakourtti och Kovdor samt fientlig CAP i området
– KEMI TORNIO – skog 60nm öster om KUUSAMO – nordväst till KANDALAKSHA. Längre sträcka med oklart läge vid ZELENOBORSKI.

Förhoppningen är att få något bättre information genom ett spaningsuppdrag planerat fredag eller lördag.
Anfallet sker i HI-LO-HI profile, de sista 100nm kommer ske på låg höjd, hög fart. Sen en popup mot målet medan SEAD flighten håller ner luftvärnet i området.
En mer detaljerad plan kommer på lördag (lite mer info efter spaning, koordinater osv).
Route tool
Eftersom alla steerpoints över hela kartan finns på alla dynamiska slots, så rekommenderas det att lägga till en custom route med route tool. Innan du joinar in på en slot, välj verktyget, lägg till alla steerpoints, välj “use this route on next spawn”, sen joina.

Sekundärt mål ZELENOBORSKI STORAGE
Anfallet mot det sekundära målet sker endast om vi inte lyckas att ta oss fram till det primära målet.

Målet är att slå ut såväl fuel tanks / stationen bredvid järnvägen som bunkern (om ammunitionen duger till en bunker).
Logistik
Inga tankers i området p g a allmänt hot. Se till att räkna ut bingo beroende på flygplanstyp. VOUJÄRVI – MÅL är ungefär 150nm, KEMI TORNIO – MÅL är nog närmare 250nm.
Ledning / Kommunikation
To be announced.
Ingen stridsledning i nuläget. Som vanligt så sker kommunikation via UHF 3 TACTICAL (see kneeboard).

MEGA Training Thursday - Return of the Rookies!
2025-02-20 19:30 - 22:30 | Caucasus
IRL Time: Thursday, Feb 20, 19:30
Theatre: Caucasus (Kutaisi)
Time: 2018-11-30 08:15
Weather: 090/8, 30.05 inHg, SCT/BKN 14/18 BKN 24/27 FEW 40, 20°C
This Thursday evening will go down in history!
In order to get all our new (and old!) rookies on-board and up in the saddle, we are hosting this large (but also small… hang in there) training event. We will put effort in the lineup, so that every rookie is flying with a more senior pilot, instructing them and helping them out with whatever is the priority in their journey towards Basic Qualification.
Each instructor and rookie decide in advance what they would like to practice, by taking a look in the Training Progress Google Sheet. A recommended set of items is around 4-8. But this is obviously very much dependent on how complex and time-consuming each task is.
We hope that this setup, with flying 2-ship and having personal guidance, feels like a SMALL and easy way of getting up to speed, but in a LARGE event, with human ATC and other flights everywhere.
Please help us by signing up as soon as possible, so that we can ensure a good lineup!

Foothold Saturday: Murmansk pool party
2025-02-22 19:30 - 22:00
Orientering
Efter vårt anfall mot Kandalaksha och de stora framsteg mot Alarkourtti så har den ryska logistiken nästan kollapsat. Det är dock en SA-10 som hindrar oss från att anfalla Monchegorsk.
Aktuell spaningsinformation:

Uppdrag
Vårt uppdrag är att slå ut SA-10:an.
Genomförande
Flygplatser som används är Kirkenes, Ivalo och möjligtvis Severomorsk 3 och Murmansk. Samling på holding point (WPT 6) sedan uppdelning i två grupper som går in mot SA-10:an från olika håll. Föreslår en från nord, en från väst.
OBS: SA-10:an är uppdelad i flera “grupper” så fokusera på radarer, speciellt tracking radarn.
Briefing 19:30 takeoff 20:00.
WAYPOINTS:
1: Murmansk
2: Severomorsk 3
3: Severormorsk 1
4: Kirkenes
5: Ivalo
6: Holding (Prirechnyi)
7: SA-10 (N 63 14.000 E 031 15.000)
Logistik
Inga tankers, de ligger ovanför Ivalo. Eftersom en AWACS ligger ovanför Ivalo så har vi nog bra radar- och datalänktäckning.
Stridsledning
Ingen human AWACS i nuläget. Gemensam kanal UHF 3.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Beirut. With no previous warning, a military coup began yesterday evening. At the same time, the Russian and Syrian governments held a joint press conference declaring their support for “the peace-loving people of Lebanon in their fight against corruption and fascism”. Presidents Putin and Assad declared all of Lebanon a no-fly zone, to be enforced by their respective Air Forces. Explicitly warning “western imperialist forces” from intervening.
The Lebanese government, on the other hand, is asking for immediate assistance and American, Israeli and Jordanian forces have answered this call.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Northern Syria, August 2012
The security situation in the region has deteriorated rapidly. Extremist groups have taken advantage of the ongoing conflict, establishing fortified positions, training camps, and supply depots in remote areas. Over recent months, intelligence reports indicate increased movement of weapons and personnel, suggesting an imminent escalation.
Militant forces have grown bolder, launching coordinated attacks on convoys and outposts. Their tactics have evolved, and their arsenal now includes advanced anti-armor and air-defense systems, making them a more serious threat.
Coalition forces have monitored the situation carefully, avoiding direct engagement to prevent further destabilization. However, with the enemy gaining ground and regional stability at risk, military intervention may soon be inevitable.
The tension is reaching a breaking point. Something is about to happen.
1.2 Area of operations
The operation takes place in northern Syria, characterized by rugged mountains, arid deserts, and scattered settlements, providing both natural defensive positions and challenging terrain for air and ground forces alike.
1.3 Time and weather
* August 11 – 2012
* 18:30 local time
* Scattered (18 000′)
* Wind 100 / 6
* FORCE QNH 29.80 / 1009
1.4 Air threats
1.5 Ground threats
Intelligence suggests enemy forces may have taken control of a Syrian SA-6, but confirmation is pending. Previous operations indicate possible SA-9 and SA-13 presence, though their status remains unknown. MANPADS are highly likely, posing a threat at low altitude. Expect additional ZU-23 technicals and AAA emplacements near enemy positions. A drone will recon the area and provide a confirmed threat picture before additional flights are cleared for takeoff. Stay alert and use sensors to identify threats.
1.6 Friendly forces
U.S. forces are operating in the region, including elements of the 115th Airborne, conducting patrols around Aleppo. Additional coalition assets are stationed at key locations, maintaining presence and readiness. Routine aerial reconnaissance and ISR operations are ongoing. Friendly units are maintaining defensive positions and conducting security operations in the area.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air traffic is still active in some parts of Syria.
2 MISSION
A U.S. unit has come under attack and requires immediate CAS support. A single F-16 flight is tasked with responding first, coordinating with JTAC on the ground to engage enemy forces. Additional assets are on high alert and will be deployed based on further intelligence. Enemy strength and composition are not fully known, and new threats may emerge. Maintain situational awareness and be prepared to adapt to changing conditions. Further tasking will be assigned in-flight.

Intelligence has identified three rocket artillery (BM-21 Grad) units south of the city of Khirbet Ghazaleh, south Syria, as the source of these attacks.
Due to bad weather, our drones lost contact with the artillery during the night. They are likely still in the area around Khirbet Ghazaleh and Western/Eastern Garyiah.
Known enemy forces in the area include UAZ’s/KAMAZ’s, armed pickups (AAA), and a few BMPs.

Friendly Forces:

A-10, AH-64D Apache, located at Ramat David Air Force Base.
OH-58D Kiowa, located at FOB Whiskey
QRF arrived at FOB Whiskey a few hours ago. SOF units operating north of our AO; no deconfliction needed.

Civilian Considerations:

Minimize civilian casualties and avoid damage to infrastructure.

Terrain:

NAI 1 and 2: Large built-up area surrounded by wooded areas, offering short sighting/engagement distances but good masking opportunities.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Yesterday afternoon, the Iraqi Air Force went on the offensive. While ultimately unsuccessful, it marked a clear change of pace for the campaign. We also saw a large transfer of aircraft from Iraq to the Shiraz air base in Iran.
Worryingly, there was also an incident involving the Iranian Navy and Air Force centered around the air base on Lavan Island. An F/A-18 flight was fired upon by naval vessels and a subsequent air engagement saw the loss of one Hornet to enemy fire. Retribution was swift but incomplete.
CENTCOM has decided we need to send a very clear message to Iran not to interfere in the campaign, but care must be taken to avoid an all-out war. As a measured response, the base on Lavan Island will be annihilated, along with any naval forces within a 15 nm radius. Other Iranian forces will be spared, as long as they do not interfere with the operation.
1.2 Area of operations

Maintain air superiority over the AO. Engage any Iranian aircraft that show hostile intent, as defined in the ROE section.
Destroy any SAM-sites considered a threat, regardless of location.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
A combined strike force of A-10, AH-64, AV8 and Mirage 2000 will hit Lavan Island with a focus on runway, Silkworm launchers, surface-to-air installations, and remaining ships. Care must be taken to prevent fast attack boats from exiting the area in the direction towards our Carrier Battle Group.

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:
We are moving supplies up to Aguijan by ship in preparation for offensive operations, provide CAP for the ships and reserve some anti-ship capability in case the Japs try to charge in with fast boats. Also, a new Japanese ace nicknamed Seiryu (Azure Dragon) has arrived with a small elite fighter unit, he is based out of Saipan. Look out for any red/black painted aircraft, they belong to the “Black Dragons” unit.

1 SITUATION
The Soviet war machine is surging north like a tidal wave of steel and fire. From the Finnish border, armored columns and mechanized infantry push toward the Kola Peninsula, while a Soviet naval force advances through the Gulf of Bothnia. Their objective: a full-scale landing near Luleå to establish a new front. Enemy fighters fill the skies, SAM sites lock onto anything that moves, and missile-laden warships threaten NATO’s last defensive line.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
The russians decided to test NATO article 5, just as if they didn’t have their hands already full. They invaded finland to protect russian minorities. Initial gains due to the element of surprise went up to a front line only kilometers east of Kemi Tornio where the initiative stalled. Even the americans are actively supporting the operations, in an eager move to regain trust in europe.
In a move to break the enemy’s back air operations focus an the area KUUSAMO – LOUKHI – ZELENOBORSKI – KANDALAKSHA with the intend of cutting off the whole peninsula from supplies, hoping to entirely collapse the enemy’s ability to continue fighting and force them back into negotiations.

Own ground operations are currently focussing along the axis KEMI TORNIO – KUUSAMO (small blue arrows) in an attempt to cut off enemy forces further by cutting off PYAOZERSKI, the only road and rail connection to KUUSAMO which is currently the main supply axis for the russian forces in Finland.

Todays mission will take us deep into enemy territory, about 75nm east of ALAKOURTTI airbase.
Waypoints SLEDGE:

Attention, FENRIS 6 starts from Voujärvi and will have:
– 1: Voujärvi
– 2: Penetration point
– 3: Ingress point
– 4: Alakourtti
Waypoints REAPER:

1.3 Time and weather
* February 10 – 2025
* 10:00 local time
* Scattered
* Wind 320 / 2
* QNH 3020 / 1023
1.4 Air threats
MiG-29, Su-27, MiG-31.
MiG-29 and Su-27 are often used as point interceptors, while MiG-31s are regularly conducting CAP and sweep sorties along the front line.
1.5 Ground threats
All from MANPADS to SA-10. Mostly consisting of SA-10 and SA-11 batteries on airports and SA-15 as point defense. Most of these are connected into their integrated air defense system (IADS), posing a serious threat to own operations.
– One SA-10 is active at ALAKOURTTI.
– Earlier recon sorties show indications of SA-15 near ZELENOBORSKI and at least one SA-11 northwest of the target. It seems to not cover the target, but it’s rather close.
1.6 Friendly forces
N/A, we are the only blue forces in the AO.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Nothing. It is pretty cold, civilians have left the area and the area is sparsely populated.
2 MISSION
Todays operation aims to disable the supply area in ZELENOBORSKI, located east of ALAKOURTTI and south of KANDALAKSHA about 75nm in russian territory. This is one storage area supporting enemy operations near SAVUKOSKI, threatening to push the front line further in the VOUJÄRVI / ROVANIEMI direction.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Take out the supply area at ZELENOBORSKI, consisting of
– 2x ammo bunker
– 2x fuel tank
– 1x railway station

The task for the helicopters is to relieve pressure on KEMI TORNIO by attacking ground forces east of that point.

There is only one main road, and currently, the enemy holds these positions. The positions marked with “Skogsfarp” are places on which you can rearm if we get to hold these. You are not expected to progress all the way to Kuusamo, but to hopefully progress up to the first FARP, which is 30nm east of KEMI TORNIO.
It is unknown which units are there, but there is at least one group of artillery located roughly 15nm east of KEMI TORNIO near the intersection of road 923 coming down from TERVOLA and road 924 going from SIMO along the river northbound, between the both first, most western blue arrows on the picture above.
3.2 Packages
The mission contains 2 packages, callsign SLEDGE which consists of the strike package. The other package is REAPER and is tasked with relieving the pressure on KEMI TORNIO.
3.3 Order of events

Package SLEDGE will form up over VOUJÄRVI (Steerpoint 2 for all except of FENRIS who starts from that point). The tasking for SLEDGE consists of two phases:
1. Disabling the SA-10 at ALAKOURTTI airfield.
In order to do so, a flight of F/A-18 will engage the target with TALDS, followed up by F-16 (VENOM 4) and AJS-37 (FENRIS 6) that will use hard-kill munition to take the site down for good. According to intel, there is an EWR to the north of the airfield that should be taken out. Expect SA-15 as point defense. As a minimal requirement, emptying out the SA-10 site with decoys can be considered as a success for this phase.
VENOM 4 will be tasked with taking out the SA-10 radar while it is busy with TALD and JSOW from (AI) hornets and will afterwards be top cover for FENRIS 6 who will strike Alakourtti with BK90.
If remaining ordnance and fuel allows, the further tasking for VENOM will be supporting JESTER 1 on their way in.
MUSTANG 4 will provide TARCAP during the operation, and, if possible, cover the retreat of JESTER 1 and BENDER 2 later.
2. When the TALD flight consisting of 4 hornets has dropped the first JSOW / TALD wave, JESTER 1 and BENDER 2 will penetrate russian airspace at waypoint 3. If the SA-10 is considered supressed at this point, the attack will follow a HI-HI-HI scheme, otherwise, it will be HI-LO-HI, with a nap of the earth profile after steerpoint 3 and a popup 20nm prior to target. Expect SA-15 to be active around the target area, so release your weapons from altitude which will also give the penetrators enough kinetic energy to actually break the bunkers.
According to intel, we have one SA-11 northwest of the target.
As enemy interceptors are expected to appear within minutes of the attack being known, we need to be fast. It is recommended to keep the package tight and pretty fast.
Green vector is the way you came in, as there might be air defenses in the south.
Trip distance is about 200nm to the target, so about 400nm in total.
The whole operation is expected to shield off package REAPER from any enemy fighters during that time.
Package REAPER will hunt enemy ground units from KEMI TORNIO to point SKOGSFARP, about 30nm east of KEMI TORNIO. Enemy troops are holding some bridges along the road from SIMO (on the coast) to point SKOGSFARP, and are suspected to have placed artillery along the intersection of the road coming from TERVOLA and the one coming north from SIMO.
3.4 Rules of engagement
ROE: C
As per SPINS
3.5 Acceptable level of risk
ALR: MEDIUM
As per SPINS
3.6 Flight tasking
Every pre-planned flight in Package SLEDGE (except FENRIS) has the following waypoints:
1: KITTILÄ
2: VOUJÄRVI
3: PENETRATION POINT – at this point, we either stick to a high profile or drop to low altitude.
4: IP POINT
5: TARGET
6: ALAKOURTTI – DO NOT OVERFLY. This is as a reference to a known SA-10 position.
EGRESS is expected to go the same route just backwards, unless the SA-10 is gone and we can egress on high altitude.
FENRIS 6 has
1: VOUJÄRVI
2: PENETRATION POINT – at this point, we either stick to a high profile or drop to low altitude.
3: IP POINT
4: ALAKOURTTI
These steerpoints are not mandatory, neither is FENRIS 6 required to stick to them- but coordination with VENOM flight should take place.
For Package REAPER, the waypoints will be as follows:
1. KEMI TORNIO
2. Own troops
3 to 6. Road to first FARP point, known enemy position

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
August, 1979.
Germany is organizing a defense exercise named Cautious Guard. Büchel Air Base has been chosen to host fighter squadrons. The exercise is focused on low-level strike operations. Norwegian and French squadrons have been invited and will take part.
Daily exercises are to be flown. Initially, they will be single-route operations, but as the missions progress, more advanced multi-route and time-on-target operations take over.
The Norwegians are from Rygge Air Station, Sq. 336 flying F-5 Freedom Fighters,
France is providing a few F1s. And joining from Hopsten is the 72nd Jagdgeschwader with their F-4s.
1.2 Area of operations
Central and south Hessen, limited by Hockenheim in the south, Geibelstadt and Fritzlar in the east, and RAF Gütersloh in the north. It consists of varying countryside and is populated by smaller towns. Frankfurt is the only large city located in the AO.
1.3 Time and weather
* Light haze, good ceiling.
* Winds from the east.
* QNH 1021hpa / 30.16inhg
* Target QFE 984hpa / 29.06inhg
1.4 Air threat
None
1.5 Ground/Surface threat
None
1.6 Friendly forces
Apart from our operation, the RAF will operate in the area with C-130s.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Beware of civilian air traffic outside the AO. Frankfurt has heavy commercial traffic and expect GA activity outside our corridors and airspaces.
2 MISSION
The opening exercise will be a visual, low-level navigation with high-drag bombing.
All groups will fly the same route, separated by 3 minutes.
The target is a bridge in central Hessen. The route will take you around the target in a left-hand pattern, and the attack direction will be from the north.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
The intent is for all flights to hit all waypoints within +/- 1 minute and, of course, have bombs on target.
If this can be achieved without climbing to locate one’s position, the exercise will be a success.

1, Vad är max höjd efter Hold? (I navigerigen)
Svar: Upp till flight lead, har med flit bara skrivit low level så får FL göra en egen bedömning.
Men ser gärna att vi alla fall håller oss under 500ft AGL.
2, koordinater för WPs, eller visuell navigering?
Svar: Visuell nav den här gången. Hoppas avancera upplägget framöver och då vrider vi igång boxarna.
Det är svårnavigerad terräng så en del av briefen kommer gå ut på tips och trix för framgång
