A Kola co-op mission designed for 2 modern Fixed Wing aircraft, and 1-2 Combat Helicopters, with one on Transport duty.
Cross over the Russian border and raid a POW Camp before permanent defenses can be established.
Playable aircraft:
F-15E, F-16C, F-18C, AJS-37, AH-64D, Mi-24P, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H. Ka-50
Feel free to change the playable aircraft in this mission. The only requirement is that a helicopter that can use the DCS native embarking system picks up the troops.
A 4 man squad of NATO advisors were taken captive during a raid into Russian territory and we've been tasked with rescuing them.
Intel has identified an Outpost in the recently occupied mining town of Kovdor. It's still being set up so permanent defenses are not in place yet. There do seem to be mobile light SAM systems and SPAAGs, along with a complement of Armor and mechanized infantry.
We have been able to confirm the Advisors are being held in a Bunker near the rim of the Quarry not far from the rest of the defenses. You will need to clear the area, then destroy the bunkers to allow the Advisors to escape without being gunned down, then have a Helicopter pick them up and bring them back to FARP Pirate.
Fixed Wing takes off from Kemi Tornio.
A pair of Viggens are available at BAS 100 as well.
Helos take off from FARP Pirate.
==HELO PILOTS: The pickup uses the Native DCS embarking system. You can access this by opening yur radio menu and selecting "AIRBORNE TROOPS" when you're close to the Advisors. You will need a helicopter capable of troop transport- so an Mi-24, Mi-8, or UH-1H
Helicopters take off from FARP Pirate ~90KM west of the POW Camp.
To complicate matters, an SA-6 Site has been spotted ~30KM South of the objective that may hinder your progress. It is not explicitly a mission objective, so it's up to you what to do with it.
There is also a small CAP presence in the area. 2 groups of two-ship Su-27s are patrolling Russian airspace.

----------------------------------------------------
I've included a Debug radio menu item to force spawn the POWs just in case. It should work but I don't want you to have to quit the mission if for some reason it doesn't.
Mission includes the Splash Damage script, with some value modifications made to it by my group, Pantheon Initiative.
Mission includes my preferred difficulty options (Allies visible only, no BDA, etc.
If you don't like any of that, feel free to open the mission up and change it.
Feel free to change the playable aircraft in this mission. The only requirement is that a helicopter that can use the DCS native embarking system picks up the troops.

You may modify this mission in any way you like, and host it on public servers. Just give me and Pantheon Initiative credit for the original and link back to it.
Have fun!
