Rumors and concerns about Iran's nuclear program developing weapons persist, with intelligence suggesting Iran has the capacity. but has reportedly halted weaponization efforts, though its enrichment to weapons-grade levels fuels suspicion.
It's time to put those suspicions to rest!
Reduce the Rudan Nuclear Research Center and surrounding buildings, to rubble.
BRIEF:
You'll depart Al Dhafra AFB, as s single F-16, at around 1100 hours. Fly waypoints to the nuclear research facility in Rudan, and deliver 2 JDAM penetrator bombs on that facility, after which you'll RTB to Al Dhafra AFB. You will be assisted by 2
F/A-18Cs, that will be departing ahead of you, enroute to the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, to take out the tracking RADAR for the SAM site near that location. There is also two flights of 2 Apaches, crossing the 'pond', approx. 220nm NW of your location, enroute to remove two Early Warning RADAR units, to help hide your approach.
There will also be a KC-135 tanker, at your WPT 8 location, to assist you if you are running low on your return trip.
ORDS:
2 JDAM Penetrator bombs, 2 HARMs, A/A weapons, ECM Jammer. (Optional centerline fuel tank instead of ECM)
UNFRIENDLIES:
SAMs, Early Warning RADAR, planes, subs, boats, oil derricks.......lions and tigers and bears..oh my!
There's crap everywhere. Stay on high alert!!
TANKER:
Callsign: ARCO
Location: WPT 8
Altitude: 10k ft
Speed: Approx. 355kts (0.55 mach)
TACAN: 10Y
Freq: 310
30 nm track
WEATHER:
Scattered clouds with a base at 15000.
***NOTE*** - There is a refueler that will be available to you at WPT 8, when you RTB. HOWEVER...you CAN make the entire trip without refueling, IF you take a centerline tank, and do not take your ECM jammer. You'll need to swap them out before you leave the hanger.
I flew, without a fuel tank, at 20,000ft most of the trip, (except when bombing the target from 6000ft), with a ground speed of 448kts. I reached WPT 8 with 1100lbs of fuel.
