The Black Aces were once again tasked with eliminating an early warning radar site. This one was a little too close to an Iranian airbase.
Dealer 2 launched and ingressed first to suppress enemy air defenses, including long-range HARM launches in pre-briefed mode on known SAM and radar targets, including the primary EWR target.
Dealer 3 engaged several MiG-29s launched to respond to the attack. Two were shot down, but two more decimated Dealer 1 and Dealer 3.
Dealer 1 (Strike)
1 - Hedgehog: gnd tgts, shot down by MiG-29
2 - Ticman: 2x ZSU-23 AAA, shot down by MiG-29
3 - Mr. Bean: 2x ZSU-23 AAA, shot down by MiG-29
Dealer 2 (SEAD)
1 - Nocs: trapped
2 - Trim: EW radar (primary target), trapped
3 - Mad Dog: 2x ZSU-23 AAA, trapped
Dealer 3 (Escort/CAP)
1 - Lion: MiG-29, shot down by MiG-29
2 - Pounder: shot down by MiG-29
3 - Rhino: MiG-29, shot down by MiG-29
Mission is declared a qualified success. The primary objective was destroyed, though an unacceptable number of aircraft and pilots were lost as well. ----------------------------------------------------------
