Our last attack on Mecheria AB was a disaster with the loss of eleven air frames from multiple scrambling aircraft and SA-17 launchers. We did not come close to an attack run on the airfield.
Command have tasked us with neutralising this airbase, but this time in two phases, the first being a dedicated DEAD mission with heavy air support.
Fig. 1 - Intel on Units at the Target Area
The SA-17 battalion is known to be relatively static and lying on the NE corner of the city protecting the factory. A large group of ground units exists in the city that also has SA-9 and AAA defence.
A further SA-17 battalion has been spotted well south of the target area but should be noted.
Your package consists of two flights of F-16s and a DCA of four F-15Cs.
Mako 5 (F-16C-52+CFT) - AI (DEAD)
Viper 5 (F-16C-52+CFT) - DCA
Hog 2 (F-15C) - DCA
Fig. 2 - Package Flights With AI/DEAD Highlighted
The above plan shows an attack option from the NNE, which is deemed the safest due to the enemy ground units to the south.
The DCA flights should note that their presence too close to Mecheria will trigger a large scrambled force of MiG-29S.
Your Primary task is to attack and destroy the SA-17 battalion.
