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:

Red Missile Types:

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.
