Fly an Iron Hand mission to take out a pesky SAM site guarding Haiphong Harbour.  

Fly low and fast. Pop up and aim your Shrikes at the SAM radar.  Once it is down you can follow up with your zuni rockets to take out the launchers themselves.

A scoring system is included.  Re-fly it and try to improve your score.

A fairly straightforward mission.  Easy to fly, hard to master.  Taking out the SAM site should not be a challenge if you fly the planned route.  But you'll have to do it using the Navigational aids the A-4 gives you.  Once you have the radar down the real fun begins.  There is a lot of low level AAA about. How many launchers can you get with your 8 rockets and live to tell the tale?

Indonesian Air Force A-4E Skyhawk TNI-AU TT-0407 Skadron Udara 11 Sultan Hassanudin AFB Livery

A pair of ex-Pakistani AF F-16As, used by the US Navy for Adversary support.

VMFT-401 was commissioned in 1986 and in 1987 received the IAI Kfir (designated F-21A) under lease from the Israeli government.  The "Snipers" flew the Kfir until 1989, when it transitioned to the F-5E Tiger II.  This skin is inspired by the 1987-89 timeframe in which USN and USMC flew the Kfir, a delta-wing aircraft of French origin.

The Kfir was built by IAI based on the Mirage V airframe.  The closest flyable substitute to the Kfir in DCS is the M-200C, so this is a fictional skin that paints the M-2000C as a USMC adversary.  This skin pack uses the traditional Israeli Air Force desert pattern that was used on some of the VMFT-401 adversary aircraft, as well as the Flogger and Ghost patterns also used by VMFT-401.  Since the original aircraft were leased and kept much of their original markings, so is the case with the M-2000C skins.

Did my best to do my first skins :)
