MISSION 2: THE BATTLE OF SHAYRAT
The NATO-aligned Republic of Syria’s armored forces have launched a coordinated assault on Shayrat and Al Qusayr Airbases, aiming to dislodge entrenched Russian-aligned Democratic Syrian State (DSS) armor and reclaim the facilities intact. DSS defenders, including T-72B and T-55 tanks supported by IFVs and SHORAD, have dug into berms around the airfields, determined to hold the line. A further buildup of enemy armor has been sighted at the Air Defense Academy, threatening to flank the offensive. Republic of Syria units are pushing from multiple axes, but their survival hinges on NATO air power clearing anti-armor threats and neutralizing quick-reaction reinforcements.
The mission is to ensure the success of this ground offensive. FLASH will take off from Republic of Syria territory and provide close air support to break DSS defensive positions and shield allied Syrian armor. THUNDER, taking off from Akrotiri, must punch a corridor through the heavily fortified Rayak Valley to join FLASH to provide battlefield interdiction, SEAD, and air cover. Together, these packages will enable the capture of Shayrat and Al Qusayr, minimize Republic of Syria losses, and weaken the DSS foothold in western Syria. THUNDER must then punch their way back out to return to Akrotiri.
Success demands speed, coordination, and precise inter-flight cooperation. Good hunting.
