A variable-difficulty multiplayer strike mission in the Caucasus theatre for up to 4× F/A-18C and 8× F-14B.

Alternative scoring is available in single-player, but the brief and general design assumes that multiple intercept aircraft will be available to deal with all targets. In addition, the opposition will scale with the number of escort aircraft active in the mission.

What's with that name?

It's not a horrible, horrible pun… it's just what the mission is about.
