PERSIAN GULF 1992-5

34 vs 18 PVP Event

 

Saturday August 13th, 1900z

Persian Gulf 1992-5 is a 34 vs 18 PVP event. The event takes inspiration from first day 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 targets 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 early 90's. 

The event follows the previous PG 1992 and will be largely the same, but with some changes to the balance, to even the odds compared to the last ones.

The coalitions will be

BLUE: 6 x F-15C, 12 x F-16C, 2 x F-14B, 12 x F/A-18C, 2 x M2K

RED: 4 x MiG-29A, 4 x F-14A, 4 x MiG-21bis, 4 x Mirage F1, 2 x F-5E
 

The aircraft composition isn't 100% true to RL inventories in 1992, but is good enough.

Red's task is to defend the Bandar region using its IADS and fighter-interceptors. Blue is to strike both strategic and tactical targets to make way for further operations in the war. Can the superior US fighters overcome the defenses at Bandar to claim victory??

The event will be flown on Saturday August 13th at 1900z

Starting time: 05:30 Local time

Situation: 
August 1992. The United States are preparing to attack Iran. The assault is already late by 8 hours, but the leadership insist that the attack must go ahead. USAF have set up operations on air bases in the entire gulf region and the massive first strike is primarily focused on Teheran. Several carriers have also been dispatched to the Red sea and Indian ocean, but USN not yet entered the Persian gulf. A smaller strike force has been assigned targets around Bandar Abbas in the Straight of Hormuz. The strike will be launched from the forward air base of Al Minhad, south of Dubai, and the Carrier Battle Group that just arrived to Gulf of Oman. Weakening Irans capabilities in the Bandar region will allow the US Navy to enter the Persian Gulf and conduct operations deeper into Iran.

Iran has a significant IADS network in the area as well as plenty of early warning installations.

 

Objectives:

RED:

Defend Bandar Abbas at all cost. Don't let the US forces destroy their primary objectives.

BLUE:

There are 5 targets for the first strike. All are equally important. 
 

1) Bandar Abbas Intl - Destroy the runways with at least three craters, on each. 

2) Havadarya - Destroy the runway with at least three craters.

3) Bandar Abbas Intl - Destroy the air base command building.

4) Bandar Abbas, City* - Destroy the small building, believed to be the entrance to a command and control bunker.

5) Bandar Abbas, City* - Destroy the communication node in the city. A significant amount of military communications in the region are  routed via the comms node.

* The two objectives (4-5) are located in close proximity to civilians. Make sure to not harm the innocent, as it will affect the scoring.

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.

 

Skin suggestions 

Most airframes have appropriate default skins for the battle, but I highly recommend these tomcat skins for IRIAF (make sure to add them to F-14A)
