Situation
Red Air continues to be a significant threat, hampering any efforts to advance the campaign.
SA-10s have been cleared from northern areas, giving a window of opportunity to strike at an enemy airbase hosting 2x Su-35 squadrons.
Mission
Destroy the runway of Sokcho airbase
Bulldog3 (2-ship) has a full load of SDBs and is tasked with the runway destruction.
Hammer3 will provide SEAD against nearby SA-11s defending Sokcho City.
Devil5 will provide ESCORT and keep the Su-35s busy.

SEAD/DEAD Hammer3+Bulldog 2
Hammer31 Gecko AA=0 AG=1 RTB
Mammer32 Mango AA=0 AG=0 RTB
Bulldog21 Griffin AA=0 AG=0 RTB
Bulldog 22 Pegasus AA=0 AG+0 RS (RTB as most likely PC/BMS error)
Uneventful take off and flight to ingress point. Picture clear around target area, Devil5 screening south flank. Hammer31-2 and Bulldog 22 going NOE 25nm from target SA-11 (PPT 63) with approx 10nm trail separation. Bulldog 21 arching 20 angels high as bait close to the edge of SA11 threat circle. SA11 active on RWR. Hammer 31 released 2xHARM SD mode after pop up 10 nm from target. 1xSA11 killed. No more SA11 launcher or Snow Drift in target area. Flight egressed to North and back to Stpt 3. Bulldog 21 NOE with Hammer 31 bait. No further hit (all SA11 launchers have been neutralised by then unknown to us). RWR - only SA8 and AAA active, naked for SA11.
DEAD flight decouter and RTB. Devil 5 providing AA cover. Bulldog22 has engine flame out and can't restart, at STP 3, jumped. Rest of the flight landed after overhead approach.
Learning point - it might have been better to send only 1 or 2 AC at the same time to attack the SA-11, with rest of the flight keeping the radar active or provide AA cover, so less missiles could have been wasted. With the radars killed or suppressed, we could have tried TGP search.
