Orders for Cmdr NATO Forces

 

Situation

43 and 111 Sqn at RAF Leuchars have been brought up to strength with additional Phantoms from storage. 43 Sqn has been forward-deployed to RAF Stornoway, while 5 Sqn Lightnings from Leaming have now forward-deployed to RAF Wick for additional point defence and interception tasking.

Intelligence strongly suggests a coming Soviet major attack against northern UK. Main targets will likely be UKADGE Sites in Scotland and the Outer Isles. 8 Sqn flying the venerable AEW Shackleton are now on round-the-clock patrol 200nm north of Scotland for early detection of possible raids.

HMS Bristol is set up-threat as a SAM trap to thin any raids inbound.

Latest intel has indicated a Regiment of Tu-128 Fiddler interceptors are based at Bardufoss air base, and one regiment of Su-24 Fencer strike aircraft in Iceland.
