Earlier today, after months of small-scale conflicts, Iraqi Forces launched a series of surprise attacks on almost every active Iranian airfield. Iraqi ground troops have begun an offensive along the border with Iran and are making advances into Iranian territory.
The Iraqi forces are unaware that their air attacks have done little long-term damage to the IIRAF airfields. After a few hours of hurried maintenance, the Iranian F-5E Tigers are ready to strike back!
This is a historical mission and is based on actual events. To make the sortie a bit more fun it is not an exact replica!
The mission contains an actual news broadcast from the start of the Iran-Iraq war.
