Situation The north-western defences of Algeria have been quietened, but significant threats still remain.
Mission Re-visit Mecheria airbase in the south to destroy the two runways. We have been there earlier in the campaign, but the airbase is back up to 50%.
Jackal 5 will be striking both runways at low level. Mako 1 will be suppressing the SA-17 defending the airbase. Eagle 3 will be clearing the skies.
Results Flight Leads in this Sunday's official mission, "Border Inferno 15" are requested to post a debrief of their flight's actions, including any lessons learned or that should be learned by others.
Please put the following information at the top of your post:
Plan was to go in low with Durandals once the SA-17 threat was dealt with, but a flood of Mig29S made even that impossible.
In hindsight: 1: F-15Cs need to be human pilots so they focus on the true threats 2: Mission should have been aborted when the threat turned out to be much higher than expected 3: DEAD should have been a mission all on its own before the OCA Strike 4: Standoff weapons, although less exciting, would have been far more effective
