Time to put a crimp in Iran's natural gas system. A couple of good hits on the refinery, and you can cause a chain reaction within all the gas lines that flow up and down the coast for 20 miles. I'd say it's time to light an air-biscuit.

Time to put a crimp in Iran's natural gas system. A couple of good hits on the refinery, and you can cause a chain reaction within all the gas lines that flow up and down the coast for 20 miles.
BRIEF:
You'll depart Fajairah International a little after 1700 hours, as a single F-16CM, and fly several waypoints to the target area, their natural gas refinery and production facility, north of Rajaei Port. You'll drop two GBU-31 JDAM Penetrator bombs on the refinery, which should cause a catastrophic explosive chain reaction along the gas lines that flow up and down the coastline, within 20 miles of the facility. After which, you'll RTB back to Fajairah International, and grab a beer.
ORDS:
2 GBU-31 JDAM Penetrators, 2 HARMs, 2 AIM-9X, 2 AIM-120C, ALQ-184 Long, AN/ASQ-213 HTS, NVGs
(NOTE: You must use the JDAM on this target. No other weapon will cause enough damage to this hardened facility.)
UNFRIENDLIES:
A ridiculous amount of SAMs and other deterrents all over the country. You name it...they've got it.
WEATHER:
The sun is setting, but the skies are mostly clear.
WORD OF CAUTION:
With SO many SAMs and other air defense system in the area, it is prudent to stay as low as possible, until approaching the target. However, be sure to give yourself some space between the GBUs and your aircraft. You don't want to take collateral damage.
Happy Hunting
