Briefing

DPRK forces have begun mobilizing. Infantry and artillery units are standing up at the front and armored forces are moving to their rally points to launch an general attack. The expectation is that once ready the DPRK infantry will attempt to breach allied lines in the west near Kaesong, central Cheorwon valleys and the east coast, making way for follow-on armored and mechanized forces. We must attack now before this happens.

Task:

You are to commence a general air attack on DPRK forces on the front. Your immediate objectives should be to close down frontal DPRK airfields, destroy fixed air defenses, scores of hardened artillery shelters, mechanized and armored forces at the front and moving toward the front. As the situation evolves and DPRK forces counter attack, you will have to allocate forces to emerging threats. They are all considered priority targets and are the most valuable to achieving victory and positioning ground forces for success.

Timeline:

You have 10 hours to accomplish your tasks.

Threat:

The current DPRK air threat includes mostly obsolete SA-2, SA-3, MiG-21PFM Fishbed, F-6A Farmer, F-5A Fresco, MiG-23ML air weapon systems except around Pyongyang which is defended by slightly more modern MiG-29B Fulcrum fighters and an extremely modern KN-06 SAM systems. There are also significant numbers of low-level AAA and MANPAD SAMs deployed along the DMZ and around critical targets. As such, you should employ precision and stand-off weapons, restrict overflight of DRPK to frontal or target areas and avoid Pyongyang and northern North Korea for the time being.

The DPRK does employ its fighter force in the attack role as well as small numbers of Su-25K strike aircraft and Hind A helicopter gunships. Expect them to be used in any counter attack.

Assets:
