08 AUG 2021 Gauntlet-19

One of the Iranian power-bases in the Gulf region is a group of several small islands located in the middle of the Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. While ownership of the islands is a point of contention between U.A.E. and Iran, possession is nine-tenths of the law and Iran has occupied the islands for some time now. The islands themselves are totally worthless, except that they provide a platform to build upon. A significant increase in military air and sea transports to the islands has been noted. Additional ground units appear to have been mobilized and are massing at several staging areas along the southern Iranian coast.

The principal target of today's strike is the Iranian airbase on Sirri Island. It is imperative to impede the flow of supplies and weapons into the area in order to discourage future Iranian offensive actions.
Primary targets are the ammunition depots, secondary targets are the fuel storage tanks, and tertiary targets are any military aircraft and vehicles located at the airbase.
Primary targets will be marked via waypoints (WP 4,5,6,7 for ammo depots)

Because defenses at Sirri Island are expected to be significant (SA-6 SAM, S-60 AAA batteries, MANPADS), your flight has been assigned both SEAD (UZI 2, UAE F-16 x2) and escort (UZI 1, UAE M2000C) assets.
Both escort flights will be orbiting WAYPOINT 2 @ 0620L, they will push when any Dealer flight passes within 2NM of waypoint 2, and act completely autonomously after that with no input needed from VFA-41 aircraft.

OVERLORD will be airborne and will advise you of any incoming threats.

There is an Iranian MiG-29 CAP to the north, well inland, as well as a two-ship of F-14As patrolling near Qeshm Island. If either of those flights make aggressive manuevers, UZI 1 will engage them.

There is a known SA-6 SAM site at Sirri Island that UZI 2 will attempt to suppress. There is also a HIGH concentration of AAA and MANPADs so take care to watch your altitude over the target area.

Tankers are airborne, but they will be limited to operate within protected airspace over United Arab Emirates territory.
