As our forces push the FLOT to the North it is imperative we prevent Enemy strikes on our infrastucture. This BARCAP mission shall protect the bridges in the area of steerpoints 3 and 4.
Loaded up with AIM120Cs and HARM missiles Cowboy flight patrolled the assigned area with very little action. We managed to take out a couple enemy ground radar stations with HARM missiles without straying from our route. About half way through our patrol we heard the call: "Cowboy 6, Chalis1 be advised enemy contact bearing 170 for 35 miles, IDd as Mig-29." It's never good hearing a call like that, but Thirty Five miles is way too close for Mig-29s. So, we turned to intercept. We kept one eye on our steerpoint so as not to veer too far off course and watched as friendlies engaged the Migs. Unfortunately as we returned to our station area we suddenly realized an SU-25 had snuck in under our radar. Psylent quickly dispatched him, but it was too late.....mission failure for allowing enemy aircraft access to our area.
Mission Failed!
