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.
Following the initial raid on an SA-2 Guideline battery defending Kabrit Air Base, the JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff) approved a follow-on strike to further attrit Russian forces in the Suez region. The 335th Fighter Squadron has been fragged to attack five MIG-27 aircraft housed at the base. The targets are located at waypoint 2.
Your mission is to destroy the five MIG-27 aircraft in hardened shelters at the southeast end of the Kabrit runway.
While the SA-2 batter is no longer active, you will still encounter heavy radar-guided anti-aircraft fire (57mm and 100mm) over the target. Further complicating the strike, a pair of Russian MIG-23 Flogger interceptors recently landed at the air base to provide point defense. You will encounter them during your approach or egress.
You will be carrying five GBU-31, 2000lb GPS guided bombs with pre-loaded coordinates to be used on the hardened shelters at waypoint 2. Your wingman will be providing escort with a mix of AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles, along with a load of CBU-97 cluster munitions to help suppress the AAA threat over the target. 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 in one pass and minimize your exposure to the AAA threat over the target. Once your weapons are expended, proceed back to Palmachim air base.
Happy hunting.
