VFA-41 was tasked with destruction of an Early Warning Radar (EWR) site and air defense command and control center in the Syrian interior. Destruction of the site will be critical in opening the way for further NATO military operations.
The squadron was launched in 3 flights to support the mission objectives. GPS-guided JDAM munitions were selected to service the targets and were dropped from high altitude.
