--- MISSION

CONDUCT AN INTERCEPT ON THE SOVIET INTRUDERS

A Tupolyev bomber and its escorts are heading to Norwegian airspace. They are probably trying to get some intel on the US carrier group just off the coast.

Dodge 1 our CAP patrol is running low on fuel, so it is up to you to take off and intercept the intruders.

Other assets in the AO:

Threat assessment:

- MiG-21s and 23s are known to be operating from Severomorsk, and we have reports that a Guard Regiment with the new MiG-29s might be stationed there as well.
- Also, a soviet cruiser had been seen patrolling the Murmansk area with some A2A capability. Keep a look out for it, and in case it turns up, keep clear of it.

--- DESIGNER NOTES AND CREDITS

There are a few randomized events set up for the mission, so it will play out differently each time.

Even though there are no restrictions on the F10 map options, I recommend NOT using it for a better immersion.
