16 October 2022 - Noble Tempest Week 2

[Lion]

3x flights of F/A-18C Hornets departed Tblisi to conduct a defensive counter-air mission near South Ossetian airspace. Unfortunately, Dealer 2 and Dealer 3 were all shot down in the span of four minutes by just two Russian Su-27 Flankers, leaving Dealer 1 to engage several groups of inbound Russian fighter jets and strike aircraft. Dealer 1 survived to expend 99% of missiles against valid enemy targets and returned to base successfully.

Dealer 1)
1-1 Lion: 2x Su-25 Frogfoots, 1x Su-34 Fullback, landed at Tblisi.
1-2 MrBean: 1x Su-27 Flanker, 1x Su-24 Fencer, 1x Su-34 Fullback, landed at Tblisi.
1-3 DirtyDan: 2x Mi-8 Hips, 1x Su-25 Frogfoot, 1x Su-24 Fencer, landed at Tblisi.

Dealer 2)
2-1 Trim: 1x Su-27 Flanker, shot down.
2-2 Crash: shot down.
2-3 Mad Dog: shot down.

Dealer 3)
3-1 Hedgehog: shot down.
3-2 Chaos: shot down.
3-3 Rhino: shot down.

Mission technically succeeded, although at massive cost to airframes and pilots
