Operation Rampant Bear
A-10A/C, UH-1H, Combined Arms
F10 Fog Of War, Summer, COOP Air, SimHQ Teamspeak
Based on the original mission by 104th_Moa, and adapted for DCS World.
Full original mission briefing available at -
http://www.mediafire.com/?vc8ytbvh4xfnug6--- Situation
It is 17 August 2008 and the Georgian Armed Forces bid to maintain territorial integrity has been defeated by a combination of Russian and local sucessionist forces.
The Russian Army now approaches the Georgian capital Tbilisi and threatens 'regime change'. Russia also wants to seize the oil pipeline passing from Baku through Georgia as this pipeline is the last in the region not under their control. If the Russians control this pipeline they can dictate energy security terms to Western Europe.
The US is tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. It cannot send ground forces to bolster its Georgian ally, but can send a wing of A-10C Warthogs to tip the scales in the Georgians' favor.

GRAD EX
A-10A/C -- COLD START, COOP
F10 ALL View
--- SITUATION:
Our A-10s are tasked on a multi-faceted mission to deny the transfer of chemical weapons from a ammunition depot located on the coast south of Sukhumi Airbase.
The depot is guarded by light AA and a more potent SA-6 battery. Destruction of the SA-6 site is crucial to allow for unfettered access to additional targets.
A Red convoy is leaving the depot en-route to Sukhumi airbase where the chemical weapons will be transferred to a waiting cargo aircraft. Search the road between the depot and the airport and interdict the convoy.
Notice: Civilian regional jets are active in the area. DO NOT shoot down civilian aircraft!

Ants En Regalia UNDER EDITing
A-10A/C, Hunting At Night, 2300 Start Time
F10 Fog Of War, COOP, SimHQ Teamspeak
--- Summary
A hot summer night along the coast. Normal patrols... 2300 hours...
Near Arhipo-Osipovka
A civilian ship runs aground mysteriously.
Within a short time a base appears, illuminated for construction, most of the activity being underground.
With little warning the night sky above the base is filled with smoke and red fireballs. Suddenly troops come pouring out of the bunker and head off into the night.
Realization dawned on the Blue Liberation Force - this is the start of a major invasion! It seems that the Red Democratic Republic obtained new technology and with it they are rapidly spreading, advancing their forces towards Gelendzhik, Novorossiysk and Krymsk.
The good news is that there are no real air defense threats.

Back To School
Somebody did not get the lesson plan.
A-10A/C, UH-1H, Ka-50, Su-25T, Ground Commander & JTAC
F10 Fog Of War, H2H, SimHQ Teamspeak
--- Summary
Blue: A-10C, Ka-50
Red: A-10C, Ka-50, Su-25T
Group ID 11, Own ID is slot number
General Vaz is at it again, maybe in a last desperate attempt to pull his Red Democratic Republic coalition together. Political pundits think it is a bad move for the RDR. Some think the General is dead and that the RDR is hiding behind his image.
The United Nations is calling for restraint.
The Blue Liberation Front (BLF) is surprised at this attack at Beslan. There is no strategic value, in fact the city is difficult to approach on a broad front. Traffic is restricted at river crossings.
General Vaz has vowed to take down the monument to "the imposters of our struggle", and blamed the BLF authorities for "a terrible tragedy" in Beslan. He said he was "cruelly mistaken" and that he was "not delighted by what happened there", but also added to be "planning more Beslan-type operations in the future because we are forced to do so."
The RDR and General Vaz must be stopped.
RDR forces have been assembling for weeks - here and there, and catching notice of BLF eyes.
The Red RDR forces suddenly staged an attack on Beslan - but uncoordinated.
Blue BLF reinforcements are arriving at the airport to defend the city and protect the monument.
As more BLF forces arrive it appears that the RDR is in disarray. BLF intelligence reports that General Vaz is missing.
The RDR seems to have lost control of the Beslan attack. It remains to be seen if red forces will launch air strikes - if they do the BLF will be in serious trouble.

Bay Of Hogs
A-10A/C, UH-1H, Ka-50, JTAC
F10 FOW, Summer 0600, H2H (Red Ka's), SimHQ Teamspeak
--- Summary
Anti-Ship Mission
Very short distance to targets.
Blue - Look for the Bay Of Hogs waypoint - the enemy harbor - work from there to identify targets.
Red Ka-50s wreak havoc upon Blue forces at Novorossiysk.
Once again, the Red Democratic Republic (RDR) is disrupting shipping from Novorossiysk to Batumi. The RDR navy is attacking regional cargo ships. Last week an international tanker was sunk by a torpedo.
Now the Blue Liberation Front (BLF) has found A-10Cs to fly out from Novorossiysk.
RDR submarines were spotted in the harbor at Gelendzhik. This naval capability must be destroyed. The Blue Liberation Front navy will assist south of Novorossiysk towards Sochi.

Huey Apocalypse Mission
UH-1H, A-10A, A-10C, Restricted Ordnance
F-10 Allies Only View, Noon, Summer, Blue Air COOP, Red GC & JTACs
Right out of the Apocalypse Now movie -- Hueys make the run in to the Red camp and shoot anything that moves.
Rescue any downed Blue pilots near the Red camp! Hueys fly down to the smoke to pick up the pilot.
A-10 pilots -- beware, a SA-19 Tunguska has been detected -- one confirmed halfway to the Red camp.
The Red Ground Commander has armor and air defense groups to move on the Blue bases.

iShot The Shilka
(But I did not shoot the Tunguska.)
A-10C, UH-1H & Ka-50, Combined Arms
SimHQ Teamspeak, F10 Allies Only, H2H
--- Summary
Blue Liberation Forces (BLF) are located at Mineralnye Vody Airbase.
The Red Democratic Republic (RDR) army is at Beslan Airbase.
Both sides have equivalent capabilities. Only the aircraft pilots can make the difference. Armor is not involved - it is air defense and air base domination.
Each home base is well defended by medium range SAMs to their rear (Blue Hawks and Red BUKs) - while the forward areas within 20 miles are ringed with AAA and IR SAMs.
Each side will advance air defense units toward the target base. Supply convoys provide the materials for these ADA sites to operate.
These air defense sites will establish an ingress corridor of cover for your aircraft. Use these corridors to approach the enemy base, and to lure its defenders to their destruction.
FARP ground support is activated after the nearby zone ADA activates. Ka-50s will become available when the FARPs activate.
To Win, all the vehicles at the target airfield (Min-Vody for Red, Beslan for Blue) must be destroyed. Messages will confirm base captures and losses, and a countdown to mission victory.
Ground units that have a name like iBeslan are covert intelligence video feeds. These units are IMMORTAL.

Nuke Plant
A-10A, A-10C, Ka-50, JTAC, Ground Commander
SimHQ Teamspeak, F10 All, COOP Air
--- Summary
Blue Liberation Front (BLF)
Destroy Four Nuke Plants
Beware lots of air defense - this mission is heavy on AD and reinforcements are pouring in.
The Red Democratic Republic (RDR) government captured four nuclear plants around Nalchik. These plants were closed for 30 years because of poor maintenance and lack of funds. The plants were scrubbed of nuclear material under international pressure. But oil and gas has brought enough money back into the hands of the RDR to bring these plants on-line once again.
Red team reinforcements are en-route to all four nuke sites - Igla, Strella, Tunguska and Tor units are expected.
An SA-10 missile site is 30 miles to the north east of the target area - it is just in range - stay away! - head 225 to avoid. Do not stray north east of the nuke plants.
These nuke sites contain buildings that are on the fringe of old experiments.

Settlement Workers Paradise
A-10A/C, UH-1H, all are Cold Start
F-10 Allies Only, Spring Early Morning, COOP Air, Ground Commanders
--- Summary
The Blue Liberation Front is being threatened once again.
Red Democratic Republic 'settlements' have formed close to Tbilisi City. These two camps must be destroyed.
The Red leaders have promised a 'workers paradise' to the refugees of the recent conflicts. Once the unsuspecting are relocated into these 'settlement workers paradise' camps the gates are locked and forced labor begins.
The RDR has spent months preparing an attack against Tbilisi City. Just hours ago, Red armor was detected in Tbilisi, and artillery is being supplied by air and is expected to follow the armor.
--- BULLETIN: Civilian Aircraft Activity
Blue coalition Georgia Airlines operates regional jet traffic between Batumi, Kobuleti and Tbilisi airfields.
Red coalition Ukraine Airways operate Yak-40 twin-engine jets into Kutaisi and Senaki from Mozdok Airbase.
DO NOT shoot down civilian aircraft.

Blue A-10A/C, Ka-50, UH-1H, Red Ka-50
F10 Fog Of War, H2H (Ka-50s), Spring Showers & Fog, 1900 Start Time, SimHQ Teamspeak
--- Summary
Spring time mountain canyon mission, South Georgia. Follow the canyon waypoints up "CUp" and down "CDn" to avoid air defense systems until on top at about 8,300'. WP elevations are given in the wp name.
A mountain festival is happening at about wp10. There are old taxis marked with red smoke that the mountain folk have set up for the A-10Cs. Pop some flares and do a roll for these enthusiastic fans of the BLF! Shoot The Taxi!
ILS and TACAN are needed to land back at Batumi in the fog.
It's a spring-time monsoon.
The RDR has set up towers and early warning radars on top of several peaks. The RDR can control all of the airspace at the east end of the Black Sea if these sites are allowed to exist.
The RDR has construction and defense convoys in route. They are coming from the Khashuri region.
Follow the canyon waypoints to pop out at the top of the region (8,300'). Dispense some flares for the townsfolk at the festival and Shoot The Taxi.

Road To Persa
A-10A/C, UH-1H, Combined Arms
F10 Fog Of War, Summer 0600, COOP Air, SimHQ Teamspeak
--- Summary
Set in the southern Caucuses - Khashuri to Persa Highway - the 'U8'. Forty miles of river canyon. Many roads there lead off to dead ends - where will the RDR go to establish a new forward base of operations?
At stake is control of the region's electrical spectrum. Both sides are locked in a struggle to blanket the area with TV towers.
Red Democratic Republic special forces want to set up a forward base of operations. The FOB must be destroyed before it can reinforce itself with heavy weapons.
The battle area extends from Khashuri City, southwest 40 miles to Persa, along the U8 Highway.
Cloud cover has socked in the area.
The Blue Liberation Front A-10Cs must have help from UH-1B Gunships to locate the Red outpost.

The Highway
A-10A/C, Ka-50, F-15C, Su-25A/T, UH-1H, Combined Arms
F10 ALL, COOP, SimHQ Teamspeak
--- Summary
Recapture Novorossiysk base to win.
You are northeast of Krasnodar airbase.
Start at the northern tip of the lake.
SNAFU
24 Hour Time Limit - 0900-0900
Escape and survival is the mission objective. The scenario follows a successful combat run above Krasnodar air base. All elements hit their assigned targets. Now, the A-10C's are RTB when **the entire region** erupts with RDR air defense sites.
Unfortunately you have few weapons left and one path to the coast.
The one escape route is ID'd south of Krasnodar and the waypoints are in the CDU. The lake exit point is marked with an illumination bomb.
Follow the waypoints to safety to the coast. Stay low.
The route is along the major highway in the region - a four lane highway - and all civilian traffic has been banned so any vehicles are fair game - weapons free.
It won't last long and it may not be pretty.
Good luck.

Thunder Of Kojori
A-10A/C, Ka-50, UH-1H, F-15C, Combined Arms
F10 Fog Of War, Summer, Morning 0600, COOP Air
--- Summary
Below the rumbling volcano of Mt. Kojori to the east lies Williams Field (Tbilisi Airbase).
A recent mineral discovery in the Kojori mine is at the heart of a new regional crises. This material, Rubantium11, has to potential to speed-breed combat units in underground bunkers at night.
Red Democratic Republic (RDR) forces are massing aircraft at Williams Field to control the airspace.
The RDR is advancing combat units toward Kutaisi. Many units apparently made it through the Roki Tunnel before the tunnel was destroyed. Intelligence reports that more RDR units are entering the Tbilisi - Tskhinvali corridor from the east.
The Blue Liberation Front (BLF) has formed a coalition with international interests to prevent the extraction of the Rubantium11 by the RDR.
BLF long-range air to ground attack aircraft are inbound to Williams Field, including SEAD radar suppression.
BLF air assets of A-10Cs and helicopters will work out of Kutaisi Airbase to prevent enemy units from taking the airbase and advancing further west toward the coast.
Blue win - clear 20 miles around Kutaisi Airbase and then kill all Red units at Williams Field - many aircraft are expected to be parked.
Red win - clear Blue units from Kutaisi Airbase and the Patriot site that is south west of the airbase.

White Bird
A-10A/C, Ka-50, UH-1H
F10 Fog Of War, COOP, Snow Storm - Dynamic Weather, SimHQ Teamspeak
--- Summary
General Vaz is responsible for terrorizing the region. Last month his Red Democratic Republic (RDR) army took an entire ski area hostage and cut the lift and gondola cables, killing over 200 tourists.
The Blue Liberation Front (BLF) has spies in the area who have been tracking General Vaz and know his habits.
General Vaz is expected to fly in his helicopter to Senaki or Kutaisi to meet his mistress. A-10Cs are standing by at Vaziani to intercept.
The only problem is the air defense threat posed by the RDRs S-10 radar systems that are stationed along the coast. The assessment is that General Vaz will ignore peril to see his lover.
But the General has a long drive ahead of him -- from Kutaisi City to the Tikbuli Highway, and north to meet his fate at the 'Dada Lake House'.
F/A-18s will attack the SA-10 sites and destroy them so the A-10Cs can strike from the east.
The weather will be a problem. A winter storm warning is in effect.
---
What, or who, is the White Bird? Is it an A-10's Sidewinder that will down the General's helicopter? Is it the winter weather that will doom the General? Or, is the White Bird the mistress, a spy,,, perhaps... with revenge on her mind?
