L-39ZA Canyon Run

[doodenkoff]

I got bored creating missions for the L-39ZA out on the flat farm land and stuck some targets in one of those deep, narrow canyons leading out of the Caucasus mountains. An outpost, a few infantrymen, a couple of Stryker vehicles, mortars, and last but not least, one manpad. It is possible to sneak up on the target.

 

I run the mission as a "ground attack" mission and use a custom weapons load; FAB-250s on the outside pylons and rockets on the inner pylons.

 

The "book" says you enter a bombing run at 1200 m with an L-39; but what do you do if the surrounding terrain is mountainous?

 

Southwest of Beslan is a fortified outpost straddling an important road into the mountains. A spotter in the hills above the target will pop a red smoke grenade on the target when you're inside of 5 km.
