The Plan

The AAA defenses will provide low level air cover, the Phantom will provide early higher altitude harassment, and having ECM will help avoid the initial opening shots.

The three F-5's will come on later to tackle the Iraqi planes.

Turn 1: F-4E Phantom arrives at altitude 3

Turn 3: F-5E Tigers arrive at altitude 4

--Mirage F-1EQ (Iman Radi)

-Competant pilot

-x2 R.550 Magic

--MiG-23MS (Siham Fayad)

-Average pilot

-x6 Bombs     

The Plan

The MiG-23 will come on first its ECM should help protect if from any SAM's, its target will be any type of guildance radar (prioritizing SAM radar over AAA radar)

The Tu-16 will arrive later to bomb the main target, the Mirages job is to protect the Strategic Bomber.

Turn 1: MiG-23 arrives at altitude 3

Turn 3: Tu-16 and both Mirages arrive at altitude 4

Set up

TURN 1

The Iranian Phantom arrives in the area at full burn,

And so does the Iraqi MiG, the HAWK radar tries to establish a lock but the MiG's ECM defeats it.

TURN 2

The MiG drops two bombs, that blows the Hawk PAR radar to bits, while the Phantom speeds in aiming to pass the MiG.

The Skyguard guns open fire, one volley clips the MiG with no effect.

TURN 3

The MiG and Phantom pass each other, the MiG drops two more bombs wiping out a Skyguard gun system, the Phantom performs a Split-S but fumbles the manouver.

The TU-16 and Mirages arrive but have picked up a tail of three F-5's, the Tiger leader locks the bomber and fires off a sidewinder, both Mirages perform an Immelmann.

The last two F-5's bank slightly to stay on the bombers tail and establish a lock.

The bomber drops 15 bombs! and the factory erupts in a hellish storm of explosions.

TURN 4

The sidewinder missile slams into the Iraqi bomber, the whole tail section is blown off, Ahmed Aziz and his crew manage to eject.

Both Mirages perform a Split-S, the F-5 leader hits the brakes while the other two F-5's bank around hard.

The MiG races away from the area with the Phantom in pursuit.

TURN 5

The MiG and Phantom RTB.

The F-5 leader, keeps his speed low waiting for the Mirages to pass, Iman Radi banks hard to come in behind the two F-5's while Bilal Badin performs a barrel roll and let's loose a Magic Missile.

The Missile strikes the F-5 blowing it to pieces, Alireza Khalili fails to eject and goes down with his plane.

TURN 6

The remaining two F-5's decided the fight was over and RTB'd.

AFTERMATH

The Factory is toast! 15 bomb hits is alot of destruction.
