VMFA-251, the Thunderbolts, deployed on the supercarrier Abraham Lincoln has been tasked with destroying targets in the vicinity of 3 airports on the Black Sea coast. You will fly 2 sorties today targeting ammunition dumps, a command center, airport defences and fuel storage facilities at Sukhumi-Babushara airport.

The USS Spruance, located near the carrier group will launch a simultaneous cruise missile attack on targets at Sukhumi, Gudauta and Sochi airports

You can fly 2 sorties in any order:

Pontiac 1 - JDAM GBU 31(V)3/B bunker busters
Hardened ammunition dumps, airport ammunition depot and command center (4 targets)

Pontiac 2 - JSOW AGM-154A (submunition payload)
Fuel facilities, airport defences and aircraft stands (6 targets)

In this mission you can practice using a variety of A/G weapons against 1 or more spawned SAM sites of your choosing. Four loadouts to choose from: 4 X HARMs, 8 X JDAMs, 8 X JSOWs or 4 X IR MAVs or create your own loadout in the mission editor.  

REDFOR SAM sites are selected via the comms/other menu and will spawn in 1 of 6 random zones in the vicinity of Beslan airport. When spawned, threat envelope information for the spawned SAM unit will display in the upper right corner of the screen.

This mission uses a MOOSE SEAD evasion script. If a HARM attack is detected SAM radars may turn off, attempt to shoot down the HARM and mobile SAM units may relocate to avoid the attack. SAM units have random skill levels.

++++Version 3 mission changes++++
ATIS added at Mozdok airport. Tune 264 mhz for current airport weather conditions.

TACAN “MOZ” added at Mozdok airport. Tune 51Y for navigation assistance.

In this mission you can practice using the HARM AGM-88C against SAM radars. The default loadout is HARM AGM88Cs however you can change weapons loadout in the mission editor to whatever you like.

The previous day's raid over Fujairah International Airport severely reduced REDFORs ability to defend the area from further air attacks. Today's mission starts with you, Pontiac 1-1, launching from Al Minhad AB and proceeding west to destroy two SA-6 radars (6 on RWR) and one SA-19 Tunguska (S6 on RWR). A SA-8 (8 on RWR) is located in the airport area although its precise location is unknown.

++++Version 4 mission changes++++

This mission now uses a MOOSE SEAD evasion script. If a HARM attack is detected SAM radars may turn off, attempt to shoot down the HARM and mobile SAM units may relocate to avoid the attack. SAM units have random skill levels.

Litening targeting pod added to default loadout.

Things went so well from Operation Beachball that we advanced the timetable on taking Sukhumi.

Now we have to pay the price for our overzealous push.  F-15 CAP, Ka-50 SEAD/DEAD, and A-10 CAS all in one mission.

This reference guide provides general employment ranges for aerial decoys and anti-radiation missiles. This reference guide should be used for planning purposes when building or planning for missions as these ranges represent the maximum ranges for each weapon.

The DCS SAM Threat Guide is a quick reference kneeboard for SAM threats.  It includes information about the ranges a SAM is capable of engaging targets, HARM codes, and pictures of the track radars, search radars, and launchers of various SAMs.  This version includes information about the SAMs added into the game by the High Digit SAM Mod (HDSM).  There are also diagrams of the common site layouts for each SAM system based upon real world SAM sites.

This is a quick reference card for using the AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile

After reading through all the manuals for the HARM in DCS, I realized that keeping track of memorizing all the settings, modes, sub-modes, and sub-sub modes is sometimes challenging, and I decided to make a quick reference card for the HARM to make it easier for myself and those who are learning or coming back to review the system. It includes the controls, a HARM code table, and a reference for what many of the sub modes and settings do. This isn’t intended to be comprehensive, and is meant for use after having learned the HARM system in more detail through other sources.

Enjoy, and I look forward to hearing feedback! There’s still a bit of dead space in the card that can be filled with some more useful info.
