Syria has 2 Seawise Giant tankers, carrying 500,000 tons of oil each, departing Latakia, and heading for Bandar Abbas, Iran. We have determined their departure time to be approx. 0740. It is scheduled to head south, and be joined by a cruiser, somewhere near the border of Lebanon. There are also several SA-19's and SA-3's, guarding the coast of Syria, as well as an older Moskva cruiser, waiting off the coast of Tripoli.
The carrier will arrive on station at 0705, and you are to depart at 0720. (Sunrise is about 0728). To maintain a low profile and to stay under RADAR, you are to fly to WPT 1 at or below 200ft @ 400kts. Proceed to WPT 2(TGT) also at or below 200ft @ 400kts.
Destroy the 2 tankers, without causing collateral damage.
