Misión: RED FLAG IRON FLAG (Hornet Mission of the Week)

✪ Plane: F/A-18C Hornet
✪ Location: Nevada NTTR
✪ Files: Mission / Video
✪ Type: Training Mission (Red Flag )
✪ Credits: Wags

SITUATION:
This week's mission takes place in the Nevada map as part of a Red Flag exercise. Your flight is one component of a larger strike into RED territory that consists of fighter sweeps (F-15C), strike (Tornados), and SEAD/DEAD (F/A-18C and F-16CJ). Your flight targets are two SA-6 SAM sites 20 nm southeast of Tonopah. These threats must be eliminated prior to the Tornado flights crossing the fence. RED air activity is expected to be high and consists of MiG-29, Su-27, and MiG-23.

- Note 1: This mission uses real radio traffic from a Red Flag exercise, but it is solely for atmosphere and has no bearing on the mission you are flying.
- Note 2: This can be a difficult mission with numerous threats and allied flights. This is designed for experienced Hornet pilots.

TASK:
Destruction of Straight Flush SA-6 SAM radars at WYPT 7 and 8. In addition to the two SA-6 SAM sites, two MiG-23 Floggers from the Red Eagles squadron will scramble out of Tonopah AFB to intercept you. Both aircraft must be splashed.
