In this tutorial you will use the skills gained in the earlier two scenarios to neutralize Zinder Airport. You have a Squadron of the latest Russian MiG-23s, and a section of Su-24 bombers. The MiG-23 is a very prolific Cold War era Warsaw Pact aircraft that was once used by over two dozen countries and is still found in almost a dozen. The MiG-23MLD Flogger K is the ultimate evolution of this durable fighter, over 500 of which are in reserve status of the Russian Air Force today. The Su-24 is the best medium bomber to come out of the Soviet era, a direct match to the American F-111, unlike its American opponent, it is relatively easy to maintain, rugged and reliable and it remains a very capable strike platform. Over 400 of these aircraft of several variants remain in service today.
A complex Strike, it not necessarily difficult; it is complex due to the mixing of strike platforms (aircraft types), munitions and targets. To be effective you must analyze the targets, identify the best munitions and platforms to strike them with, choose a sequence, plan it all out and execute.
You won't have instructions popping up in messages during this tutorial, a few comments because I can't resist, but all the planning work is at the start and the instructions will be in the briefing. You should feel free to re-run this scenario several times to understand the concepts better.
Note: This tutorial should take about 1 hour to complete.
