Situation Update (Final Mission):
The Iranians became furious after our successful attack on their National Defense and Intelligence Center headquarters in Kerman City. To our surprise, they managed to fix the main runway at Kerman Airbase quickly and restored the airport's functionality. Several sorites were scrambled and caused some problem to our CAS flight in the frontline. In the meantime, the Russians continued to send troops to the Kerman region and the battle for Rayen was still ongoing. Our ground forces didn't advance further and the frontline remained almost the same for three days now. Further to the north, the Birjand Uranium Enrichment Plant continued to operate in full productivity. Our intelligence estimated that more than 40kg weapon grade Uranium-235 has been produced so far, only 12kg more would make it enough to build a nuclear warhead. With the Russians' strong support at the frontline and the confidence of its nuclear project, the Iranians were still reluctant to sit down for a peace talk, although they had lost control of most of its coastal area. The U.N. Security Council will hold a second meeting for the war in Iran in two days. To demonstrate the ability to strike any target inside Iran's territory and collapse the Iranian's ambition to own nuclear weapons, the President of the United States authorized an operation targeting the Birjand Uranium Enrichment Plant. The plant is located northwest of Birjand City, in the hinterland of Iranian territory. It's heavily guarded by both enemy HAVCAP fighter jets and SAMs around the plant. Several advanced GPS jamming devices were also deployed in its vicinity, providing additional protection to the plant. However, each fortress has its weaknesses, and the best fighter knows where to attack. A stealth strike plan was briefed in Ready Room A16, the Navy's best fighter pilots from VFA-97 Hawks and VFA-64 Ravens attended the briefing. The strike plan was top-secret, only high-level officials and the fighter pilots who were called to fly the mission received the briefing materials and knew the strike details. A package consisting of four core aircraft, backed up by another four aircraft and escorted by four aircraft was scheduled to launch under the cover of night to carry out the strike mission. Also joined by other supporting aircraft from the Air Force, the strike mission aimed to destroy the Birjand Uranium Enrichment Plan before dawn on Day 24.
