Orders for Cmdr NATO Forces

 

Situation

809 Sqn Buccaneers on HMS Ark Royal have been brought up to strength with additional aircraft from storage after the recent losses against Northern Fleet units earlier this month.

Soviet Air defences are estimated as heavy, with various SAM and AAA Systems, backed up with PVO Fighters.

Strike targets are the airbase in the Kola Peninsula which launched strikes on the United Kingdom mainland.

Projected strike aircraft losses are over 80 percent. We do not expect everyone to come back from this.
