Long range, low level strike in the persian gulf region. Not too complex nor too difficult, but also not realy newcomer friendly.
This is the singleplayer variant of a coop mission i made for a few friends and me. I thought i may share it as there isn´t too much content for the Strike Eagle yet. It´s not my first mission, but the first to share as i actually do not share my missions to the public. If requested, i may upload the 2 player (1 client aircraft) and the 2-4 player (2 client aircraft) multicrew variants with adjusted triggers and targets as well.
The Mission is definately not for everyone, as it takes quite some time to finish. About 150 to 180 minutes (departure to landing). I know this is tough, but you can use time acceleration beginning from base up to steerpoint 3 (ca. 280nm, interrupted by AAR) and from steerpoint 10 all the way back to base (ca. 300nm) without missing something. This will save you some time.
What you you should be familiar with:
+ Aerial refuelling during dusk / darkness (cannot be skipped)
+ Navigation (F-10 map is empty)
+ Using and setting up the Radios (Voiceovers partially transmitted via radio)
+ JDAM CC mode
+ TFR
+ NAV-FLIR
+ A/A Radar / AIM-120
The mission is set in 2003. Iran has produced a critical amount of highly enriched uranium and seems to be close before gaining enough weapon-grade material to build at least one nuclear weapon. Last chance to avoid this essential thread to Israel, is to destroy a nuclear enrichment facility 40nm north-east of Jiroft. Due to dense iranian air defense along the coastline, the facility is difficult to reach and demands terrain masking en route to the target. Cold start from Al Dhafra AB, briefing contains all necessary information.
Requirements:
+ F-15E Strike Eagle
+ Persian Gulf
No additional mods required.

Tested in VR with MT Preview 2.9.2.49940. Performance is good, only taxi may be a bit demanding depending on your system / settimgs (it was still good for me). If there occur any issues, please let me know and i take a look at it as soon as real life allows it.
Critics, feedback and suggestions are always welcome. Hope you enjoy the mission despite the long route...
