2018-06-23 Operation Make Caucasus Great Again

June 23, at 1700 UTC, on Air Goon Server.
Difficulty: fucking easy.
A DCS World Co-op mission.
Free SU-25T included, FC3 pack planes included A-10A and F-15C, plus two German MiG-29s. In addition, A-10C, F-18, AV-8, and M-2000. We will be using SImpleRadioStandalone.

Waypoint 1 is target waypoint for everyone, Waypoint 2 is for land based aircraft set to be their homeplate, and Carrier Aircraft can use Tacan 1X to find home. Carrier group is 40 nautical miles away from target, and friendly airport is only 32nm away, so flying even with A10s is fast and quick. The SEAD Frogfoots are the only _important_ planes who need to do the SEAD or we won't have much fun. After they are done, they can do regular CAS. Other than that, as long as few Eagle or Hornet dudes take down the scattered planes, there isn't a large threat besides the low level MANPADS.

Two frequencies that you have to have memorized:

• 251.000mhz AM for AWACS and flight-to-flight communication
• TACAN at 1X to find carrier.
• Your in-flight can be whatever channel you want.

In 1989 a locally known, publicly ridiculed, real estate mogul from New York is finally laughed out of the City, and using whatever scraps he has from his failed Casino adventures, he buys himself a Grand Duchy of Rogaine on the coast of Caucasus. In addition, with help of dumb luck and tax fraud, he manages to secure several million dollars, using these to purchase old Soviet equipment for himself, and his Duchy. The mogul shitposts on various UseNet communities, and is known to partake in shady dealings with the La Cosa Nostra, plus, let's face it, no one likes him.

Eventually, his old hotel chains would be bought by a relatively unknown fella, one Robert M., Assistant Attorney General, working for Attorney General Dick Thornburgh in Massachusetts. Besides his service as an exemplary infantry platoon leader in Vietnam War in the Marine Corps, not much is known about the mysterious prosecutor. However, long story short, he would eventually discover documents inside the abandoned hotel chain offices that would lead him to turn them in for the government, alleging stolen government property and classified information.

In spring of 1993, Clinton hears about the case, and being just fucking tired of the exiled Mogul, and frustrated after being turned for oral services by a nameless White House staffer, orders a pre-emptive strike to make sure that no further threats are to be given from the Duchy. President Clinton taunts the Duke over an early Prodigy chat room , which leads to public celebration.

It's July 4th, 1993. Carrier Group Stennis, under protection of French and Greek Navy, is on the coast of the Duchy, ready to launch strikes, commanded by famous Admiral Hillary Clinton of the Battle of South China Sea. Simultaneously, a combined NATO task force is at a nearby airfield, ready to initiate pre-emptive Supression of Enemy Air Defences, led by Air Force Colonel Sanders from Vermont Air National Guard. After managing to institute on federal level all his political goals, Sanders accepted a commission as a Colonel and after finding out that they don't have any cool two seater Eagles with fatbacks and spines, goes and accepts the second best option, flying singe seater Eagles for Vermont Air Guard because he thought it was pretty dope. Fuck yeah, 'Merica.

Task for the combined strike package:

Destroy the Duchy's one and only air base at Gelenzhik Airport, now named into Air Base Eric, due to it's young child soldier commander. Destroy the parked planes, fuel tanks, hangars, and ensure that the hangars where the enemy planes are kept are destroyed. Until the hangars are destroyed, the enemy will surely keep scrambling whatever piece of shit junk they have in their wares. Ensure that all five Mig31s that are parked in hidden spots are destroyed. This is important.

Secondary objective:

Destroy the combat fleet that is being refitted in the harbor. They are currently no threat, but will be one in the future.

ENEMY THREATS:

Mainly Mig21, Mig15, Fw190 airplanes, but there are known to be two MiG29s bought from a KGB agent who sold them after finding two abandoned at an airbase.
In addition, scattered enemy RAA in the form of TOR launchers, some IGLA MANPADS, and enemy troop and materiel convoys.

Friendly Forward Air Controller has found a location above a mountaintop, overlooking the airbase. They can lase and spot enemy targets for our package.

In addition, our carrier group has some issues. The commander of VF9, CAPT Mitchell, Pete, known for his antics, just told us that he was buzzing shipping near the coast of the Duchy today, taking this picture of a Yacht where the Duke himself is thought to be located. Sadly his recklessness caused the Yacht to turn around and head back to the Duchy, and its supporting vessels, thought to carry diet coke, to head back to towards the harbor, most likely in anticipation of a strike. This has upped the tempo, gentlemen, and we must attack right away.
