This mission is designed to test your ability to deploy multiple JDAMs in one pass in a pre-planned strike. Your mission is to destroy five MIG-27 aircraft in hardened shelters at the southeast end of an airfield located at waypoint 2. While there is no SAM threat, you will encounter heavy radar-guided anti-aircraft fire (57mm and 100mm) over the target. Further complicating the strike, a pair of Russian MIG-23 Floggers defending the base. You will likely encounter them during your approach, so marshal your wingman appropriately. You will be carrying five GBU-31 2000lb GPS guided bombs to be used on the hardened shelters at waypoint 2, along with an AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN targeting pod and four AIM-120 AMRAAMs. It is recommended that you attack from medium altitude (15,000 feet or higher). This should provide adequate run-in for an accurate JDAM delivery and minimize your exposure to the AAA threat over the target. Once your weapons are expended, proceed back to base.
