Can't make AI launch cruise missile

[Elisei Posudnevskii]

EN:
Hello! I'm trying to create a mission where an AI reconnaissance aircraft locates a ground target, and then a Tu-95MS launches a cruise missile at that target.

• Reconnaissance aircraft: I want the AI-controlled reconnaissance plane to detect and identify a ground target.

• Tu-95MS bomber: Also AI. Once the target is identified, the Tu-95MS should launch a cruise missile at it.

However, I just can't get it to work. The reconnaissance plane simply flies past, and the Tu-95MS—assigned to provide close air support—just keeps flying as if nothing happened. 

RU:
Привет! Я пытаюсь создать миссию, в которой самолет-разведчик с искусственным интеллектом обнаруживает наземную цель, а затем Ту-95МС запускает крылатую ракету по этой цели.

• Самолет-разведчик: я хочу, чтобы самолет-разведчик, управляемый искусственным интеллектом, обнаруживал и идентифицировал наземную цель.

• Бомбардировщик Ту-95МС: также искусственный интеллект. Как только цель будет идентифицирована, Ту-95МС должен запустить по ней крылатую ракету.

Однако я просто не могу заставить это сработать. Самолет-разведчик просто пролетает мимо, а Ту—95МС, назначенный для обеспечения непосредственной поддержки с воздуха, просто продолжает лететь как ни в чем не бывало.

I don't think a Tu-95 is capable of providing close air support...

Perhaps try a different task like ground attack or something.

What you also could do is set up some triggers. Once the target is spotted, or the recon plane is in zone (over target), tell the Tu-95 to attack a point.

No, he really can, I can say for sure when I forced him to use the X-101 against a moving target.

That's not the problem; the problem is that any aircraft with a CAS mission doesn't attack a target if it doesn't see it itself! It doesn't matter that another plane saw its target! He has to do it himself.

The problem is that, in fact, it should work without scripts and triggers. If not, what is the purpose of the AI aircraft's "Reconnaissance" task in DCS?

he need a bombing task probably.
i have a b52 that launch cruise without any problem but i use moose not mission editor: 

CONTROLLABLE:TaskBombing

Also: the purpose of the AI aircraft's "Reconnaissance" task in DCS it tells the AI that this flight is performing a recon mission, not a combat or transport mission.
This affects formation behavior, radio chatter, and ROE (Rules of Engagement) defaults, but does not automatically cause it to detect or report targets.
Recon AI flights tend to avoid combat and may maintain altitude and distance rather than engaging
You can make the “Reconnaissance” task mean something by combining it with triggers or Lua scripting.
