13 November 2022 - Operation Noble Tempest Week 6

Post by Lion » Mon Nov 14, 2022 1:16 pm

Three flights of F/A-18C departed Tblisi airport to strike the Roki tunnel entrances on the Georgian/South-Ossetian border. Dealer 1 attacked the western entrance while Dealer 2 attacked the eastern entrance, each flight loaded with penetrator bombs, contingency non-penetrator bombs, and emergency A2A missiles incase Russian fighters crossed the border. Dealer 3 anchored nearby at BULLSEYE until tunnels were confirmed destroyed.
Both tunnels were destroyed after bomb drops and Dealer 3 was cleared in attack any leaker military convoys from the tunnels, but shortly afterward they were intercepted by a pair of Su-30 Flankers, suspected to have departed their airbase after heavy transport aircraft were shot down over South Ossetia. Dealer 1-3 was dispatched to intercept the Flankers and save Dealer 3, splashing one Su-30 before eating a missile to the face - Mad Dog and Chaos thank you for your sacrifice :1embarassed:

Dealer 1 and 2 and 3 safely returned to Tblisi airport, minus Dealer 1-3, and Dealer 2-2 (who had a runway excursion and unscheduled disassembly).
Note: 1-1 experienced left generator failure on the way back to base, but did not suffer any capability loss.

1-1) Lion: ground targets, landed.
1-2) Rhino: ground targets, landed.
1-3) Dirty Dan: 1x Mi-26, 1x IL-76MD, 1x Su-30, shot down.

2-1) Hedgehog: ground targets, landed.
2-2) Crash: crashed on takeoff.
2-3) Ticman: ground targets, landed.

3-1) Mad Dog, RTB.
3-2) Chaos, RTB.
