This is Part 3 of the "Al Taquddum through the ages" 3-part series. It is advised that you play the first two missions, but it isn't essential. This is a single or multiplayer mission, and while it's best enjoyed with friends, it is entirely playable single-player.

## Testing Incomplete - please comment with any bugs ##
In the intervening years between RAF Habbaniya being an RAF base in WW2, and it being bombed by the RAF during Desert Storm, the base had become an Iraqi military installation and chemical weapon storage facility. The airfield was expanded to become what is now known as Al-Taqqudum Air Base, and on the second day of the Iran-Iraq War during Operation Kaman 99 it was targeted as part of a 140-strong Iranian air operation to cripple Iraq's Air Force.

You will play either as F4s attacking the Al-Taqqudum Air Base, F5s attacking the Al-Taqqudum Air Base, or F14s protecting the tankers from Iraqi interceptors.

Operation Kaman 99 was a 140+ aircraft mission flown by Iran in an attempt to cripple Iraq's air forces. In this mission you can fly as an F14, F4, F5, or F5 Flaming Cliffs.

Flying at extremely low level, F4s and F5s bombed multiple airfields across Iraq using Mk82s and AGM-65s on the second day of the Iraq-Iran War. They flew so low, in fact, that an F4 brought home part of a billboard that had got caught on its tail. Bonus points if you can somehow recreate that during this mission (I have placed a few billboards on your route). Meanwhile F14s protected the border and the tankers which were necessary for the low-flying jets to get home.

Today you will simulate the run against Al Taqqadum Air Base in either F4s or F5s. Or you will protect the tankers in F14s. This mission can be enjoyed with friends to do both elements.

## This Mission ##
F4s & F5s will spawn 50 miles from their target:
- Fly below 400ft to Al Taqqudum at a bearing of 320.
- Exceeding 400ft will cause the SA2 at Al Taqqudum to detect and engage you.
- Destroy the SA-2 on the southwest corner of Al Taqqudum AIr Base to disable the airfield's main air defence (see briefing pictures for location)
- Crater both runways
- Attack the chemical storage facility to the north east of the camp (see briefing pictures for visual)
- Destroy the convoy that will try and escape the chemical storage facility.
- Make it back to the tanker in Grid ND for mission success.

F14s:
- Protect the tankers.
- Without the tankers, neither you or the F4s will be able to RTB.
- In total you will be engaged by 8 bandits.
- Destroy all 8 bandits for mission success.
