Back to the roots - my very first missions were for the Gazelle, time to create something again.
Operation Cedar Spear will bring you to the early phase of the 1982 Civil War in Lebanon. You will fly an ambush in the mountainous terrain of Southern Lebanon in a Syrian SA342L, in an attempt to stop the enemy's advance over the Litani river.

Local civilians spotted an enemy convoy and contacted the Syrian military. Syrian special forces plotted the advance and set up an ambush near a strategically important bridge over the Litani river near Nabative. Armed only with light weapons and some RPGs, the team, callsign “Jabali” [Mountain goat] called for additional fire power from the air.
The low cloud cover will allow Syrian helicopters to operate in relative safety from enemy fighter jets.
Task
You will lead a Gazelle two ship formation out of a FARP near Beirut airport on a routine armed patrol along the coastal highway, waiting for further tasking by high command.
High command will eventually establish contact between SPEAR flight and Jabali.
Your task will be to take out the three heavy M60 main battle tanks in the convoy with HOT3 missiles.
After successfully engaging the tanks, you will fly back to the FARP.
