FRAGO-06082022-1
Airfield strike Bandar Abbas and Havadarya

Phase 1 will consist of Air Superiority, DEAD
Phase 2 will consist of Air Superiority, Recon
Phase 3 will consist of Air Superiority, Strike

Commanders' intent is to reduce SAM/AAA to allow for detailed reconnaissance of Bandar Abbas (primary) and Havadarya (secondary) from the air to allow follow on strikes at these airfields. Reducing the operational capability of these airfields will cripple the enemy's air capability, dividing their airborne defenses into two areas leaving the center open.

Significant progress was made in the last few hours, severely crippling or removing the long and medium SAM capability in the area of operations; however we are still in phase 1. Note that the SA-11 and SA-2 batteries can still track and guide at short range, and reinforcements and repairs could being them back to full capability at any time. As a new note, it was discovered that a Rapier battery is also operating in the area.

DEAD: Voodoo will draw out and engage enemy SAM installations in the Bandar Abbas and Havadarya area. Anti-radiation missiles and laser designated munitions are to be used. Close in self protect A2A armament. Escort to be provided by Ares. Primary targets are any remaining SA-11 and SA-2 units including C2, launchers and radars. Note a Rapier battery is also operating in the area and is included in the primary target list along with EWR radars. Secondary targets are AAA and short range SAMs (expect SA-15 and the like) at the airfields proper.

ESCORT/CAP: Ares primary mission to escort and protect Voodoo and follow on Blackbird. Maximal A2A loadout. Engage and destroy all enemy aircraft within 40 miles of Bandar Abbas and Havadarya. Minimal 4 airframes, 2 flights.

RECON: Blackbird: once DEAD mission has reduced the SA-15, SA-11, and Rapier sites to non-operational status, Blackbird is to begin recon of Bandar Abbas and Havadarya airfields proper. Primary targets of concern are ammo and fuel facilities, along with remaining AAA and SAM emplacements. Use targeting pod to record snapshots of targets.

Unfortunately, I won't be here yet again. My wife and I have a get-away in Michigan planned (just the 2 of us) so I won't be flying this week. (I won't be here for Monday's practice night either as we have a parent-daughter's softball game).

UPDATE: Tonight's softball games look like they are going to be cancelled due to storms in the area. So I should be around for (mission) practice tonight!

I do not mean to be flip-flopping all over the place. I'm probably not going to make it after all, even though softball was cancelled. We've got a lot to do tonight, including packing the kids so they can stay with family. I have a feeling my wife would not look kindly to me taking an hour off to "play". LOL...

Glad you made it after all. Your GCI help sure saved some of our skins!

I'm glad I was able to help out for a bit! It was good practice for me as a GCI, and I'm enjoying it.

I might join this as Voodoo role in F18 with HARMs. I haven't figured out the targeting pod photo ability but I can surely try.

BTW, what aircraft are usually in the list that are possibly to be flown? I appreciate the Mi24 being added but probably not good for this mission. Is the general arsenal list the same each mission? The reason I ask is that I'm considering another purchase eventually and dont want to buy something I can't use on here (aka Mig-21). Are F-5, Harrier, F16 all on the list typically?

we accommodate whatever you want to fly.

there are hokums, apaches, and now hinds at the Qeshm island FARP. every airframe that people have wanted to fly are available on the blue side.

i have been contemplating adding some to the red side as playable, but we do not often do that.

Thanks Hammer. I may try to get a sense of if an Mi24 could be supportive or a hinderance. I appreciate the quick response.

See what he did there?

Mi-24 pilot humor! Da!

I can do Ares in the F-14, then if the SAM threat is reduced enough I can transition to Blackbird with the LANTIRN.
