PERSIAN GULF 1997-1 36 vs 20 PVP Event Saturday January 13th, 1930z Persian Gulf 1997-1 is a 36 vs 20 PVP event. The event takes inspiration from firsts days of Desert Storm conflict in the early 90's, where Iraqi MiGs faced an overwhelming force of a coalition led by the US. The objective for each side is very different; Iran will try to defend its home land from the invaders while the American forces goes after vital airfields in Iran. The mission is set up to be asymmetrical to simulate the non-balanced nature of a real conflict. To balance the odds, Iran fields an impressive integrated air defense in addition to the low tech fighters of the IRIAF. The event follows the PG 1992 and will be largely similar, but with some changes to the balance. The coalitions will be BLUE: 10 x F-15E, 12 x F-16C, 2 x F-14B, 12 x F/A-18C RED: 4 x MiG-29A, 4 x F-14A, 4 x MiG-21bis, 8 x Mirage F1 The aircraft composition isn't 100% true to RL inventories in 1997, but is good enough. Red's task is to defend the important airfields of Lar and Jiroft using its IADS and fighter-interceptors. Blue's task is to suppress the Iranian air force to prevent them from conducting further air operations in the conflict.

Briefing: Weather PG: DCS clouds: "Scattered 3" METAR: BKN 7.5/12 SCT/BKN 21/23 SCT 40 Ground: 4 kts @ 171 deg 1600 ft: 8 kts @ 172 deg 6600 ft: 12 kts @ 165 deg 26k ft: 20 kts @ 164 deg QNH: 29.92, Temp: 29C Starting time: 06:30 Local time Situation: April 1997. Two days ago, the United States initiated a full scale air campaign against Iran. Both the US Air Force and US Navy have conducted strikes all over Iran. The outnumbered Iranian Air Force have so far done well, with less losses then anticipated. Airbases along the coast have been disable, include the important Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island. The USAF and USN are now fully comitted to OCA and are planning to hit Lar and Jiroft airbases in order to prevent IRIAF from conducting its air operations. Iran has a significant IADS network in the area as well as plenty of early warning installations. Objectives: BLUE: Disable the airbases of Lar and Jiroft. RED: Defend Lar and Jiroft at all cost. If Lar or Jiroft are made unusable, Kerman and Shiraz have backup slots for all red aircraft. Each team will receive a reduced version of the mission file to check assets and targets. The full mission will only be available on the event. Team roster: *Note that "Multi-role" slots can also be used as air to air, but not using Aim-120B.
