We split into elements early on approach with lead going after the SA-22 and 2nd element going after the SA-6 battalion.

No SA-22 was found anywhere near the target area - on viewing ACMI it might have moved halfway to the STPT6 marked on the map above.

2nd element had some trouble spotting the SA-6 vehicles in amongst city buildings, but the battalion was eventually completely destroyed.

1st element spotted a mech battalion with SA-8s just west of the SA-6 site and took out all the SA-8s and combat vehicles, only trucks remained.

A pair of Su-24s snuck up close (probably on a strike mission of their own, and minimal threat) but Mustan1 alerted us and Mango then quickly destroyed both.

Another pair of Mig-29S approached from the south and Mustang1 (now on CAP)_dealt with them with Bayonet and Pegasus supporting.

Don't forget to CZ (cursor zero) when finished with specific targets, and a good idea to CZ when fencing out, to make finding home plate easier.

Ingress was uneventful apart from levelling off at FL140 while Falcon flew over the top of us, en route to targets.

Me and 2 looked for the SA-4 but it's gone. We picked out a set of columns in the middle of our CAP and engaged them with the help of markpoints.

3 & 4 spotted targets at the western end of the CAP and engaged them, killing a bunch of SA-9s, among others such as MDKs.

It took differing times for us to deliver the ground ordnance but as each reported Dakota, they climbed to FL300 for a CAP to cover Falcon.

Falcon did not report the SU-24s that came towards them and engaged them instead of calling us in. We did cover their egress as two MiG-29S came from the SE. Me and 2 engaged them. I killed mine but he was closer to 2 in the end and he shot at and damage No2 who was forced to eject after trying to manage his damaged plane. No3 took out the other MiG.

Following this we RTB'd for a straight in landing as it's dark.
