"Russian backed forces moved an interesting variety of AAA near our AO, in Georgia proper.
Not openly backed however, meaning you can decide to engage or not."
-The main point in designing the mission was to gain familiarity, and practice fighting, the better types of AAA-only units.
-All AAA locations are located between wypt 0 and 1. I recommend learning the area, using cities, lakes, and forests to memorize how to find the targets, or add waypoints if you want to.
-There are triggers to alert you when entering each type's engagement radius. None of the batteries ranges overlap, you can only be in range of one group of 4 at a time.
-If you are new, rest assured, you can just blaze through at 400 knots, 1500 feet, to see the "fireworks", as long as you don't fly straight, at all, you will be fine. That being said, batteries of 4 provide a challenge, especially the Shilka and Gepard.
You spawn in the air, nearby the zone, as it is the nature of this mission to learn through death lol.
-Main Obj is just to fly through and observe the AAA batteries, get a feel for how hard they are to evade.
-Secondary is jettison racks after a few run-ins, and head to the gauntlet slick ready to dispense flares at least: F2 RPT4 INT0.25
-Gauntlet is an area just west of AAA spread. Find it by spotting the small lake near river, Manpads are spread between two easily spottable towns, so you can watch one direction for launches on you.
-Optional, keep stores and see how many batteries you can disable. Also great setup for LGB, maverick.
