Good morning!
Today you will impersonate the commander of the Ramat David Air Base in Northern Israel and you will learn how to engage aircraft armed with modern weapons.
You have two F-15A Baz, four F-15I Raam, six F-16I Sufa, two Gulfstream G550 AEW Nahshon, two 707 Saknayee tankers and two Hermes 900 Star UAV under your command.
Your fighters are armed as follows:
- 2x F-15A Eagle [Baz]: 4x AIM-7F Sparrow III, 2x AIM-9L Sidewinder, and 2x Python 3.
- 2x F-15I Eagle [Raam]: 4x AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM and 4x Python 4.
- 2x F-15I Eagle [Raam]: 6x AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM and 2x Python 4.
- 2x F-16I Falcon [Sufa]: 2x AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM and 2x Python 5.
- 3x F-16I Falcon [Sufa]: 4x Python 5.
Missile Types:
- AIM-7F Sparrow III: Semi-Active Radar Homing (SARH). Range: 2-38nm.
- AIM-9L Sidewinder: All-Aspect mid-course plus Passive Infrared terminal guidance. Range: 0.2-10nm.
- AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM: All-Aspect Long-Range (Datalink (DL/INS) mid-course plus Active Radar Homing (ARH) terminal guidance. Range: 2-56.7nm.
- Python 3: All-Aspect mid-course plus Passive Infrared terminal guidance. Range: 0.2-8nm.
- Python 4: All-Aspect High Off-Boresight mid-course plus Passive Infrared terminal guidance. Range: 0.2-10nm.
- Python 5: Inertial (INS) mid-course plus Passive Infrared (IR) terminal guidance. Range: 0.2-15nm.
The fighters also have DECM systems and pods. Defensive ECM Systems are devices designed to improve the survivability of the aircraft by deceiving the radar or IR sensors on enemy missiles. They operate alongside chaff (to deceive radars) and flares (to deceive IR sensors).
DECM System Types:
- EL/L-8202 DECM Pod: F-15A Baz and F-15I Raam.
- EL/L-8240 DECM: F-16I Sufa.
- SPS 2100 DECM: F-15I Raam.
