This will be the third Wild Weasels in Nevada sortie. Its focus will be an SA-11 site with 8 launchers, two snowdrifts, two EWRs 2x SA-15s and 2x Tunguska (SA-19). The strike Eagles will be searching for a mobile SCUD unit that the SA-11 is protecting. It will be a night in good weather in Nevada. 492 Objectives Find and destroy the six scud launchers and supporting vehicles. 555 Objectives SEAD of the SA-11/15 224 Objectives SEAD of the SA-11/15 32 Objectives TALD Support and CAP More details will be upcomin

Chinese marines have landed on Guam. We will be supporting the USMC in defending the island. New Time May the Fourth - Dragon's Perch Sortie 2: Chinese Invasion 409 (224) Objectives Sink Chinese naval vessels supporting landing operations Primary Target: Type 071 leading landing operations Secondary Targets: Two Type 052B destroyers and 2 Type 056 Corvettes (Grisha) 32 Objectives Establish temporary air superiority over Guam Primary targets J11s on CAP over Guam Secondary targets Mi-8 ferrying troops into Guam, Z-10 (KH-50) attack helos, WingLong Drones 555 Objectives Provide CAS for marines. Primary: Bomb Chinese armor moving from Antonio Won Pat to Attack the Marines taking defensive positions near Anderson AFB on the high ground. Ensure the marines remaining two Abrams are not destroyed. Secondary A small marine position is near Apra Heights which has been used to call HiMARS strikes on advancing Chinese troops. Ensure it is not overrun if they fall under attack. You will have two marine JTACs providing CAS calls and lazing. 492 Objectives Hunt key logistical targets + provide CAS. Primary:Chinese must have a number of ammunition, fuel and command and control facilities near their landing operations in the jungle. With the loss of our satellites we are unable to locate the precisely but have a likely region. Once air superiority is establish we will attempt to locate them using our A/G radar and TGP. Secondary Assist the 555th in CAS supporting marines.

This campaign features a modern day Chinese invasion of Guam followed by a US marine counterattack. This will be a collaborative campaign hosted by Yeti, Weeder and Joney. The first mission will start out with a massive ballistic missile and air attack against Anderson AFB and the Patriot batteries defending Guam. All squadrons will need to get airborne (you will have 20 minutes from mission start). A number of WingLoong drones are providing targeting to the ballistic missiles, these should be hunted and neutralized. We expect an airborne attack to hit surviving facilities by PLAAN bombers supported by fighters (J15) from the Liaoning carrier battlegroup. If Anderson AFB is neutralized you will need to land at alternative fields hidden in the jungle (North field) - and F16s will have to land at Siapan Intl as their landing gear cannot take the beating of North field. 224, 492, 32 and 555 Objectives Provide CAP over Guam. Expect WingLoong Drones, J15s (Su-33 equivalent with better radar and PL-12 missile) escorting H6 bombers. There will be AWACS and tanker support. F16s and F14s will pair together and F18's and F15Es will pair together (can be changed based on signups). One group will patrol to the northwest of Guam the other to the Southwest.

PVP dogfighting tournament hosted by Splinters. Who will be the Top Gun of JTF-111?

We continue our campaign against Wagner forces. We are supporting an amphibious assault on Cyprus.

This mission will be an attempt to recreate Operation El Dorado Canyon with the assets currently available in DCS. F-15Es will assume the role played by F-111s. The mission is a nighttime deep strike during bad weather. Night tanking is a required skill for this mission due to no available diverts. Minimum required players: 2x F-15 (Strikers) 2x F-18 (SEAD) 2x F-16 (SEAD)

Turkey is very pleased with our help in taking their country back from the clutches of Wagner’s nuclear blackmail. We have managed to mostly degrade Wagner’s air threat from both Turkish airports and off the island of Cyprus. Things are now moving to the next phase which involves ground operations to take back the island of Cyprus. Landings are occurring on the northwest coast at Karavostasi, on the northeast coast of the peninsula and at Larnaca. Armoured troops have already been landed at Farmagusta. Dude, Hellcat and Nickels will be responsible for CAS and defense of any sea borne attacks on the landings in their designated zone (east 1/3 of Cyprus = Dude, middle = Nickel, west 1/3 Cyprus = Hellcat). We have some target areas identified but you will also be on call for any other targets as may be identified by troops on the ground. NOTE: offensive helo or A-10 operations could be included in this mission if you indicate a desire to fly those airframes early enough.

Successful attacks on Soviet logistics including the port of Latakia and the train depot at Raqqa have hampered their advance. At long last they have organized their forces to launch an attack against Palmyra and its oil fields, the main target of their forces. Soviet troops are attacking over the mountains north of Palmyra, but the main thrust of their attack is a large tank force from the East from Deir ez-Zur. They have heavily shelled from the mountains to the North of Palmyra damaging much of the city including the ancient Roman monuments. Unlike in Deir-ez Zur, Syrian troops have been mobilized in large numbers and are prepared to defend against the attack. However, the Soviets have learned from their mistakes and this time have brought SA-6's along with the SA-8/13/15s and Shilkas. They have also timed their attack to coincide with remnant cloud layer from the storm several days prior that will force allied aircraft into the threat rings of those SAM systems. USAF crews have been flown into nearby Tiyas AFB and are capable of rearming and refueling aircraft. 555 Objectives CAS of advancing Soviet armor from the East. You will need to use LGBs or Mavs to stop them. 224 Objectives Primary: SEAD of SA-6 and to remain on station looking for mobile SA-8/13/15s Secondary: CAS of troops advancing from north. 492 Objectives Primary: Established air supremacy over Palmyra (CAP) Secondary. Find and Bomb artillery positions. Note: It would be useful to have a JTAC or someone coordinating ground strikes in this mission. A10s or Apaches could also do this.

Our weekly training events. We start out with a quick briefing at 2000 EST and chat in the group for about 10min, then break off into our individual groups to discuss what the night's training will look like. Sometimes we have formal training with a slide presentation followed by practice. Other times we have informal practice where we just head up and work on one or two skills. All training nights include group communication, coordination, general aviation work, followed by individual skills. Training nights last between 1-2hrs. We ask that all members attend at least half (2 per month) our training sessions, as that is where our real cohesion (and fun) happens.
