It is the fifteenth of May 2015 and Tadmur / Palmyra has recently been captured by ISIL.
You are stationed at Sayqal Airbase. You are one of the few pilots who have completed a few flights with the MiG-21Bis in recent years. The use of the Fishbed has become very rare.
You will fly one of these missions today. A convoy has been reported heading south from the Tadmur region. Our Air Force Intelligence Directorate has information that the target of the convoy is the Sharqiyah phosphate mine.
