Start

Runway

OP AMBER 81. Dodge 1 is a 2-ship of F-16C Vipers out of Krasnodar-Pashkovsky. Russia crossed into Georgia out of Abkhazia and the North Caucasus. The United States deployed to hold the coast and the road to Tbilisi. You fly for the United States. Georgia asked for American air. You are here so Russian fighters do not own the road to Tbilisi. Hold the CAP between Krasnodar-Pashkovsky and Krasnodar-Center. Russian fighters through the bullseye are a raid on the United States. Kill them or turn them, then recover Krasnodar-Pashkovsky. Do not chase past bingo. Bullseye is 8 nm on 273 from Krasnodar-Pashkovsky. Picture: 2x Su-27; SHORAD (SA-8, Shilka, SA-18) Weather Scattered, day, wind 200 at 4 kt, 24 C, QNH 752 mmHg. Start 0901 local (UTC+4).

Drop the file in Saved Games/DCS/Missions, then open it in the Mission Editor or host it. Popular jets spawn with a real pylon load. Anything marked clean needs stores added in the editor. Carrier groups steam into the wind. Ships and columns are placed by bearing, so slide them off the beach if they land inland.
