We have good intelligence that the Syrians are planning to strike our base. The intruders must be destroyed.

We expect the Syrians to use these fighters:

- MiG-23ML Flogger G: AA-7 Apex C [R-24R, SARH] and AA-8 Aphid [R-60M].
- MiG-25P Foxbat A: AA-6 Acrid A [R-40R, SARH] and AA-6 Acrid B [R-40T, IR].
- MiG-29M2 Fulcrum C: AA-10 Alamo A [R-27R, MR TSARH] and AA-11 Archer [R-73].

Red Missile Types:

- AA-6 Acrid A [R-40R, SARH]: Semi-Active Radar Homing (SARH). Range: 4-30nm
- AA-6 Acrid B [R-40T, IR]: Rear-Aspect mid-course plus Passive Infrared (IR) terminal guidance. Range: 4-30nm.
- AA-7 Apex C [R-24R, SARH]: Semi-Active Radar Homing (SARH). Range: 2-27nm.
- AA-8 Aphid [R-60M]: All-Aspect mid-course plus Passive Infrared terminal guidance. Range: 0.2-5nm.
- AA-10 Alamo A [R-27R, MR TSARH]: Semi-Active Radar Homing (SARH). Range: 2-45nm.
- AA-11 Archer [R-73]: All-Aspect, High Off-Boresight mid-course plus Passive Infrared (IR) terminal guidance. Range: 0.2-10nm.
- AA-12 Adder [R-77, RVV-AE]: All-Aspect and Datalink (DL/INS) mid-course plus Active Radar Homing (ARH) terminal guidance. Range: 2-43.2nm.

They also have a couple of H-6E Badger bombers armed with FAB-500M-54 GPB iron bombs and an A-50 Mainstay A AEW aircraft.

An AEW aircraft is a high-value asset and a force multiplier, as its potent radar can track enemy forces at long range and send targeting information to the fighters. Therefore, it should be a top priority to target it.

Interceptors armed with very-long range missiles, like the MiG-31 or the J-20, can be useful for this task. These missiles have a lower PoH (90% for the PL-15 and 85% for AA-9 Amos and AA-13 Arrow), that will further decrease at long range. Using them against an agile fighter will likely result in a miss but are a serious threat against non-maneuverable HVTs (AEW airplanes, tankers, transports, etc).

When you localize the enemy A-50 send a MiG-31, T-50 PAK-FA, J-31 or J-20 to destroy it.

But now, switch on a radar or, better, launch a A-50U Mainstay A. Then order some fighters to take off.
