31 July 2022 - Damascus Dawn week 28

Post by ticman » Sun Aug 07, 2022 5:08 pm

Black Aces were tasked with strike mission on a convoy of Syrian tanks and light armored vehicles moving to reinforce Syrian lines near the town of Maskanah. The convoy was expected making its way North up the western shoreline of the Assad Reservoir via Highway 4, the Tabqa-Maskanah highway.

Two flights of F/A-18 hornets were dispatched to take out the convoy:

Dealer 1
1. Ticman - Primary target hits, computer freeze up
2. Rhino - Primary Target hits, two MI-8's, killed in action
3. HedgeHog - Killed in action

Dealer 2
1. Trim - Primay target hits, trapped
2. Maniac, Primary target hits, trapped
3. Lion - Primary target hits, trapped

The convoy was located and attacked by both Black Ace flights. Dealer flight one lost all three aircraft during the engagement, but dealer flight two had successful hits on target and returned to mother safely.

Mission was a partial success, coming at a high loss of aircraft :1undecided:

I got two Mi-8's, but also died in the attempt on the second one. (Crashed into the debris after gunning the helo). Not sure if that negates the kill or not.
