Russian MIG-27 attack aircraft have landed at Kibrit Air Base 125km east of Cairo. The aircraft pose a threat to commerce transiting the Suez Canal. Your mission is to launch from the USS George Washington and destroy a surface to air missile battery (SA-2 Guideline) south of the airbase. The missile site is located at waypoint 2.
You will encounter heavy radar-guided anti-aircraft fire (57mm and 100mm) over the target. The SA-2 battery is active, and you will also have to mitigate direct attacks from the battery itself. Your section will be carrying a mix of 500lb snake-eye unguided bombs and Rockeye cluster munitions. It is recommended that you attack from low level (500 feet or less) to minimize your exposure to the AAA and SAM threat. Once the SAM battery is destroyed, proceed back to the USS George Washington. If the opportunity arises to attack the parked MIG-27 aircraft, unexpended munitions may be deployed against those targets. Happy hunting.
