VFA-41 was assigned this mission to destroy an S-300 site just north of Kutasi airfield.

Dealer 1 flight was tasked with destruction of radars, and Dealer 2 hunting the launchers.

Dealer 1 flight: 1 Weavin: Unknown targets hit, shot down by SAM
2 Gixxer: Target/s hit, trapped.
3 Paver: Shot down by SAM on ingress
4 Trim: Unknown targets hit, trapped with damage.

Dealer 2 flight: 1 Hedgehog: Airframe sabotaged by Comcast
2 Lion: Targets hit, trapped
3 Ticman Targets hit, shot down by SAM
4 Badger Targets hit, shot down by SAM

Damage and total loss of aircraft was high, however the mission objectives were completed.

Honorable mention to Gixxer for finding and leading a very damaged Trim back to the ship, and Trim himself for getting his wounded aircraft home and trapping safely on the first try.
