After successful destruction of two Iraqi oil rigs, the main task of IRIAF is now to provide support to the Iranian Navy. Two Iranian missile boats blockading Iraqi ports were attacked by Iraqi Osa class missile boats. In exchange of missiles, two Iraqi and one Iranian boats were sunk. IRIAF rushes to aid the remaining missile boat with F-4 Phantoms leading the strike, armed with Maverick missiles. Our flight of F-5Es is tasked with destruction of a nearby Iraqi SA-3 SAM site while the mighty F-14 Tomcat provides air cover.
In reality, majority of Iraqi Navy was sunk by the F-4s, with some of leading Iranian pilots flying those attacks. Several MiG-23s were shot down by F-4s and F-14s.
Your task is to lead a flight of four Iranian F-5E and attack an SA-3 SAM site in vicinity of Basra. This is a support flight assuring free flight of Iranian aircraft in this region of the Gulf. You are to takeoff first, followed by F-14 air escorts and finally, F-4 Phantoms tasked with destroying Iraqi missile boats with Mavericks. Eliminating search and tracking radars should disable the whole site so focus on them. Your weapon are unguided rockets, you are to approach your target on ultra low altitude to avoid getting shot down. After the attack, avoid confrontations with Iraqi fighters if possible. Leave this to your F-14 escorts.
