Hey there awesome DCS Pilots.This mission will test your bombing & Maverick delivery skills all without using the Litening TGP. It's quite a long mission & will probably require a refuel & I think a 7/10 difficulty rating is fair. I hope you enjoy this one & have great success in nailing all your targets. Good luck!
19:00 Hrs. Ahead 25 miles is the Range which is at your WP1 where 5 juicy Targets are sitting & also there is a small column of a T-55 Tank & two Fuel trucks patrolling a City block close to the Range. Another enemy Tank is at your WP2 who will be Lase by JTAC Axeman on 133 & there are also 2 Targets at your WP3 you must kill. After all your ground Targets have been disposed of a Su-33 "Flanker-D" will depart Kutaisi & be In Hot! AWACS is on 251 for support & Radio Chatter avail on 128.
You have 4 Mk-20 Rockeye, 2 Mk-82, 1 AGM-65F & 1 AGM-65E & Air Weapons your carrying 2 AIM-9M Sidewinders & 2 AIM-120C & full Guns but NO Litening TGP! This will test your skills at some good old school bombing technique & Air to Air engagement. And we're hoping you can take out all Targets without a rearm. For your Mission Success you must destroy all designated Targets & then succesfully land at Kobuleti. You must choose your AGM-65E for the JTAC Lased Target at WP2. Also you will definitely need a refuel or two so Texaco Tanker is in the AO on 250 MHz & TCN 44X or you may land at Kobuleti or Batumi to top up. Finally, Smoke Markers with a 5 min plume time will be in close proximity to the 2 Targets at your WP3 & can be triggered by flying directly over WP4 or WP5. See if you can get the job done with just the weapons in your Loadout.
Good luck Pilot!
TIPS: Hit the 5 Targets in the middle of the Range first, then take out the 2 Targets at your WP3. I would then advise a Refuel, return & kill the 3 Units patrolling the City block next to the Range, using your AGM-65F for the lead Tank vehicle & a Mk-20 Rockeye for the two Fuel Trucks trailing behind him. After that, take out the single MBT T-90 JTAC will Lase for you at your WP2 then engage & splash the Sukhoi who will be "In Hot" from Kutaisi. Then successfully land at Kobuleti to complete your mission. Job nicely done!
