FC3 SU27 Blinders mission help reqd!

[BattleAxes Skinner]

Hey guys,

 

Must've flown this mission about 15 times now; keep dropping out of the sky like a fly! Plz can someone help?

 

This is the Fortress Mozdok mission in which 4 SU27s need to shoot down the enemy AWACS deep behind enemy lines. The F15s or Patriots shoot me down; no warnings through my RWR!!!
