On 10 Octo0ber 1973 Damascus Airport
Damascus International Airport was considered civilian and thus safe from IAF attack -- until a squadron of Iraqi SU-7s was based there. The mission of attacking Damascus Airport was given to IAF.

In this late 70's Replay of the 1973 Damascus Intl Airport Attack by the IAF the Syrians have prepaired an inhanced responce to IAF aggression by invading F-4E bombers from Isreal.

There are two flights of MiG-21bis GCI that will react to the invading F-4E bomber flights and also the Syrians have installed ZU-23 AAA equiped HighLux pickups and Ural-4320 trucks along with ZU-57-2 units at Damascus, Mezzeh, Qabr as Sitt and Marj Ruhayyil Airports and an SA-6 SAM site West of Damascus Intl Airport.

Also There are MANPADS around the Airports these MANPADS are from the 70's namely the Strela-2 SA-7 IR, the FIM-43C RedEye and the Shorts Blowpipe these MANPADS are effective at Shorter Ranges and limited Aspect Angles compared to the 
Later Model 80's and 90's MANPADS provided as STANDARD equipment in generic DCS.

All together it gives the Syrians just a fighting chance and reduces the Impunity of the IAF's actions in the scenerio put together here.

The Player in this mission will lead a flight of 3 MiG-19P out of Damasus Airport to Orbit @4.5km just a little bit South and East of the Airport and wait the arrival of the F-4E bobmers who are flying in LOW for stealth purposes.The MiG's can then dive on the F-4E flights while they are concentrating on their bombing runs. Rear aspect shots with K-13A missles are then possible and GUN's kill's in HEADON aspect also are possible.
The F-4E's will fire Sidewinders at you HEADON but you can use a Barrel-Roll to spoof the Sidewinders. Then use your gun's.

The MiG-21bis flights will be comming to help clean up and killng most of the F-4E's is very possible.

Good Hunting


In this late 70's Replay of the 1973 Damascus Intl Airport Attack by the IAF the Syrians have prepared an enhanced response to IAF aggression by invading F-4E bombers.
The Syrians have installed SPAAG  on or near their critical installations and also they have acquired some late 70's "Low Digit Manpads" these being short range rear aspect
hand launched Anti Aircraft Missiles of late 70's design. Also two flights of MiG-21bis GCI will be launched when the F-4E bombers are near the Syrian Aerodromes.

The player in this Mission will lead a flight of 4 Mig-19P farmer aircraft in a GCI intercept of the incoming F-4E bombers.

After the fight the MiG-19P flight will have to land at Mezzeh Aerodrome since the Damascus Airport will be messed up a bit.
ADF radio frequency is already programmed into NEAR receiver of the MiG-19P aircraft.
Radios channel 1 is Damascus ATC, channel 2 is Flight COMM's radio, channel 3 is Mezzeh ATC.

Only One MoD is needed for this Mission to work properly 

Only One MoD is needed for this Mission to work properly: Low Digit MANPADS - A Simple mod to add in early MANPADS

https://github.com/Des-mundo/LowDigitsMANPADS

It's a simple MoD that allows use of these Late 70's MANPAD's and they have a small effect in favor of the defending forces in the mission.
