In the Syrian Civil War, the city of Aleppo has been badly hit by Russian and Syrian airstrikes, with claims that Russia is targeting rebel-held civilian areas using WW2-era 'carpet bombing' tactics. Russia have strongly denied this, telling a meeting of the UN Security Council that such accusations are 'baseless'.
The United States however, believe Russia is using a deconfliction arrangement to mask the true nature of its airstrikes in Syria. The US is preparing a risky manoeuvre to penetrate Russian controlled airspace over Syria and gather evidence of any alleged war crimes.
You are part of a USMC squadron of F/A-18C Hornets stationed at Incirlik, Turkey. Your flight has been placed on high alert, ready to slip into Syrian airspace, sneak up on the Backfires and record HUD footage of their actions over Aleppo.
