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.

We have an emergency situation!

Approximately 30 minutes ago three enemy troop transport ships docked at the eastern side of the island and begun unloading their cargo of troops and armour.

Your mission is to proceed to the landing area and destroy or disable the ground forces you will encounter there. More transport ships have been spotted approaching the island and we will update you on their position.

--- This is a single player mission for the AH-64D.
--- The landing zone is rich in targets but will require skill and planning if you are to destroy everything with the limited weapons you have at your disposal (but there is scope to rearm one time during the mission).
--- The mission features a voice-over briefing, mission updates and includes custom kneeboards.
