Georgian Intervention pt.1

 

Situation

Over the past 3 months tensions between Russia and Georgia have reignited. A series of attacks of unknown origin took place on the Russia Georgian border. 

Shortly after a build up of Russian aircraft was detected along the border region and intercepted Russian communications revealed a plan to attack so called “terrorist strongholds” in Georgia. 

 

The United States of America decided to send a squadron of various aircraft to assist Georgian forces in the defence of their airspace. The American squadron is stationed at Kutaisi with a squadron of Georgian Frogfoots.   

 

On the 19th of May the Russian air force conducted strikes on targets within Georgia. Due to the American presence at Kutaisi steps were made to ensure the security of forces while on the ground and a Patriot system was set up. 2 of 6 Su-34’s detected in Georgian airspace were shot down.

 

A swift response is needed and a plan has been drawn up to strike the forces responsible for the attack. On the morning of the 21st a joint strike force will take off from Kutaisi and conduct a precision strike on Nalchik, a Russian airfield that's being used as a staging ground for incursions into Georgian airspace.

 

Mission

Destroy the Su-34’s that took part in the attacks on the 19th with as little collateral damage as possible.

Command, Control & Communication

Overall command will lay with me (LH5) for the first mission.

Flight leaders will be selected on the day.

Radio Channels can be found below. (SRS is required to play this mission)

 

 

 

Flight plan 

 

We will be keeping to a flight area on a pre planned route. You may leave this area when in combat with air or ground forces, with a swift return to the area once combat is complete.

 

(The following is subject to change based on threats we encounter)

 

• Take off and fly to Waypoint 2 in as close a formation as we can safely manage.
• From Waypoint 2 CAP flights will separate from the strike package and take the lead as we cross the Russian border.
• Once at Waypoint 3 the Strike package will hold in an orbit while SEAD flights push to Waypoint 4 and disable enemy SAM site(s) Once SEAD mission is complete SEAD flights will return to Waypoint 3 and hold in an orbit.
• With SAM threats neutralised the Strike package will commence its run as SEAD flights return to waypoint 3. 
• Once all strikes are complete all forces will regroup at waypoint 3 and return to base (Waypoint 1) in formation.
• CSAR will operate from a temporary FARP recovering any pilot that is shot down or crashes.

Do we know the weather forecast for that day. Thinking about using a targeting pod or somehow getting direct coordinates for the ground targets for the GUB`s

Could the Swedish not lend us a viggen for my birthday.

I don't think anything needs restricting, BK-90s which are the only OP weapons require precise targeting to be effective and the viggen can't take more that one type of munition

In this timeline the Georgian air force happens to own a few Viggens, 1 is known to be stationed at Kutaisi.

*no weapon restriction on it unless there is something that can be fired well beyond visual range or is a WMD like the 105 I should know about*

No Mirage 2000?
