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:

- J-10B Vigorous Dragon: PL-12 and PL-8.
- 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].
- MiG-29KUB Fulcrum D: AA-11 [R-73] Archer and AA-12 Adder B [R-77-1, RVV-SD].
- Su-30SM Flanker G: AA-10 Alamo A [R-27R, MR TSARH], AA-11 Archer [R-73M1], and AS-17 Krypton C [Kh-31P, ARM]. These are for Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD).

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-11 Archer [R-73M1]: 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.
- AA-12 Adder [R-77-1, RVV-SD]: All-Aspect and Datalink (DL/INS) mid-course plus Active Radar Homing (ARH) terminal guidance. Range: 2-45nm.
- AS-17 Krypton C [Kh-31P, ARM]: Inertial (INS) mid-course plus Passive Radar Homing (ARM) terminal guidance. Range: 1-60nm. Anti-radiation missiles are used to destroy enemy radars.
- PL-8: All-Aspect mid-course plus Passive Infrared terminal guidance. Range: 0.2-8nm.
- PL-12: All-Aspect and Datalink (DL/INS) mid-course plus Active Radar Homing (ARH) terminal guidance. Range: 2-50nm.

They also have a few H-6E Badger bombers armed with FAB-500M-54 GPB iron bombs, an A-50 Mainstay A AEW, and a Tu-16P Badger J Electronic Warfare aircraft.

The Mainstay and the Tu-16P Badger are HVTs. The Mainstay provides tracking and targeting data for the Syrian fighters, and the Badger provides Offensive Electronic Counter Measures (OECM). Jamming our radars and protecting the enemy aircraft from our missiles. They should be destroyed as soon as possible.

These aircraft usually patrol behind a cover of friendly fighters, so even if they are defenseless, they are not an easy target. You should send an interceptor with very long-range missiles (F-14) or a stealth aircraft (F-22 or F-35) to take care of them.

The Patriot can assist you in destroying the Syrian aircraft, but switching on the radar is dangerous with ARM-armed aircraft around. With older ARM missiles without "ARM Target Memory" you can turn off your radars and the missile will miss. However, that won't work in this case as the AS-17 does have this capability.
