Mission Summary:
Bluefor was tasked with launching a long range strike on an active SA-5.
To that effect, there was a long range strike ordered on the site, while several cap flights provided support.
Meanwhile, Rotary Flights and CAS flights were tasked with pushing back a large wave of redfor tanks that were pushing towards Senaki. With the goal of clearing the AO for returning F/A-18Cs and F-16s that were participating in the long range flight.

Challenge Rolls:

• Visibility was set to "Fog of War"

Pros:

• Very challenging mission
• Several pilots reported enjoying the overall mission design

Cons:

• Several people were destroyed by strelas
• Trees were a significant issue. And they inhibited the ability for the helicopters to locate and engage them
• Gazelles did not have access to the Gazelle script
• (ED Related Bug) Several helicopter pilots reported issues getting their AI co pilots to engage ground targets.

Additional Notes:

• F-16s may need to use the SUFA mod, in order to more comfortably perform the SEAD mission
• Ensure alternative airframes e.g. Viggen/Hind/Harriers have their frequencies setup to match the CAS Flights
• Create a kneeboard/briefing with all of the frequency information included there.
• CTLD should be added to allow for the deployment of JTACs
• Need to rethink SEAD tactics
• Reposition Tankers
• Provide Supporting flights that will fly ~20 mins in front of the SEAD flight to deploy TALDs
