Today's mission is a continuation of our attacks upon the Iranian supply line. Fly to a point along the shipping route between Bandar Abbas and Abu Dhabi. Once there, you may destroy any moving shipping vessels you find between waypoints 2 and 3.

All civilian cargo shipping have fled to port since combat began weeks ago, and any cargo ships in the target area should be considered valid enemy targets.

Before you arrive on target, a flight of four Saudi Tornado IDS will make a sweep through the area to suppress and destroy any SAM threats that may be present in the area.

Our E-2 Hawkeye will be airborne over Qatar and will advise you of any incoming threats.

Tankers are airborne, but they will be limited to operating within protected airspace over Qatari territory.


Surface Threats:
Possible SA-2 site at Abu Musa Island.
Possible SA-6 site at Sirri Island.

Air Threats:
None. Enemy aircraft have contained themselves to the UAE to protect existing forces there recently.
