Blue intelligence has revealed the Reds intent to bring the Bandar-e Jask airfield to limited operational status. Initial development includes movement of heavy machinery and equipment using transport aircraft. Development to operational standard, even if limited, could bring naval and commercial shipping in the Gulf of Oman within striking distance of the airfield thereby causing significant Blue issues.
To delay any development without an all-out strike, the decision has been made to make a "statement" by disabling the runway with the threat of further attacks should development proceed.
