The day i broke out of the overcast at 200 ft with all numbers good and lined up on the runway using IN and the VFR approach profile into Nalchik .

Any day I make an OK 3 pass, which is almost never :P

On Blue Flag, took up 2 Mav:s, four bombs and Aim-120/9x loadout.

First thought of bombing Sirri, performed an attack, Rifle times 1 and 1 Mk-83 on the runway... Wondered why nothing shot at me back... Turns out it was friendly.

 

We must go deeper.

 

Decided to attack Bandar Abbas. Low altitude, quick pass.

 

Rifle at some line of 4 contacts.. 2 Bombs on the Runway and fourth bomb on some barracks or storage tanks.

 

Exit the stage towards south popping flares and chaff.

 

Got out. Found a contact low and slow. IFF reports "diamond", RAYGUN on the GCI frequency got no replies. FOX3 from 10 nm. A second later AWACS calls "Juuba that target is friendly." F**K! Drop STT lock, hope the missile won't find him.

 

It didn't. Phew.

 

Shot my other FOX3 on something to no effect either.

 

Started to rtb to Khasab, when GCI vectors me to a low and fast Viggen.

Found multiple cons. Eventually got an unknown contact and no Buddy Spike calls. Close in, performed a nice stern conversion on him, he didn't manoeuver. Killed my radar, locked an AIM9X on his tailpipe and Fox2!

 

"Splash one VIggen"

 

Land and rearm at Khasab.

 

Sortie score is -2, almost got back even.
