In case I do not make it today: I have been trying to crack Shayrat Airbase. I came close, having only 1 or 2 SA-11s left to kill. But everytime I get close a helo from Tiyas on the east and An Nasiriyah on the south or Rene Mouawad on the west resupplies them. I just couldn't do it alone. Enemy air gets in the way too, usually Fullbacks and Fulcrums but occasional FIshbeds.
I would say Shayrat is the main target, SEAD/DEAD. But if there is any air support to kill helos or to defend against the fighters, it will be easier. There was a pesky SA-22 there too, but I finally got rid of him.
See map below
(this map is older but is just to show you the helos' airbases)
Good hunting...and kill MiGs!
