Version 1.0 - Requires latest DCS Open Beta

- NOTE - This is a quickly built mission to get you into the action right away and for me to test rapid mission making. - There are two missions in the zip file. They are both the same except one is daytime and one is nighttime. Once you are in any of the missions, you can use the radio menu, F10 option to switch to the other time of day.

SITUATION

Yesterday morning, Russian forces initiated a full-scale invasion of Georgia. This unprovoked and evil attack consisted of major armoured thrusts from 3 different directions, plus airborne and helicopter assaults at various locations throughout the country. NATO and US forces are responding to the area, with the first in country US Army asset is a platoon of AH-64D Apache helicopters. They have set up base at a FARP to the west of Tbilisi, and are gearing up for operations in the AO.

MISSION

Late yesterday afternoon, Russian special forces attempted a heliborne assault of Senaki airfield.  They landed approximately 100 troops on the base, but were unable to secure the whole facility.  This, combined with Georgian anti aircraft forces, prevented the Russians from landing their transports and re-enforcing the base.

The Georgian forces on the ground have taken back most of Senaki airfield, but a small platoon sized Russian force still occupies the airfield administration and base ops complex on the north side.  

Our mission tonight is to support the Georgian troops retaking the base.  Primary targets include machine gun positions in two guard towers, plus a bunker.   Georgian troops will give us further direction when we are on scene. 

WEATHER

The weather is low clouds with bases approximately 2500ft AGL.  Visibility is 20km + in occasional light snow.  Winds are light out of the north between 5 – 10 knots.  Altimeter 29.92.

THREATS

Russian special forces on the Senaki airfield may be armed with heavy machine guns, RPG and MANPADS.  There is no Russian armour within 50 km of the base.
The air picture is complicated, with both Russia and Georgia flying the same types of airframes, for the most part.  The low weather has hampered both sides from establishing air superiority over the battlefield, and Georgian anti-aircraft capability is denying the Russians easy overflights.

PLAN OF ATTACK

Set your radios up on the ground at FARP Vitaly prior to takeoff.
