This campaign is based on the F-16 campaign with the same name, with some minor improvements and adjustments.
It's fall 2010. Tense situation with Russia and Georgia. Georgia wants to stay as an independent country, but Russia claims that Georgia should be a part of Russia. More than often, Russia sends airplanes across the border, harassing and terrorizing the Georgians. A large fleet of Russian ships in the Black Sea increases the tension even more.
This cold war needs to remain cold. If things go wrong here, it might lead up to third world war.
Ukraine has decided to help the Georgians and has established a QRA base at Kobuleti, in order to protect the Georgians and to deal with the constant threat and harassment by the Russians.
For the next year, you will do your service as a Fulcrum pilot in this force. Your job is to keep the Russians at bay, and do not provoke them more than necessary.

This campaign consists of 1 qualification mission, where you need to meet some certain requirements, such as flying in formation and distinguish friend fr om foe, and 15 different QRA missions which will span over a year with different time, weather and seasons. Your task will every time be to track down and investigate one bogey group of a total of 100 random groups, with different planes, intentions, directions and positions.
This campaign is NOT for you who just wants to blow things up. Many missions you won't even fire one single missile or a bullet (but it's random, so in theory, every mission could have hostile engagement, but on the other hand, every mission can in theory be an intervention mission).
Every mission is a cold start, and you must taxi back to your shelter wh ere you started and come to a full stop in order to complete it.
During your first mission (the qualification flight), you will get an overview over the situation.
Skills you need to master before enjoying this campaign:
- The internal MiG-29 radar. No Awacs, so you and your wingman's radar are the eyes in the sky.
- Basic navigation
- Handling the plane in all weather situations, also during night time
- BVR combat
- Dogfighting
Tip: When you're on a scramble, you don't need to rush your startup. The bogey group doesn't spawn before you enter the runway. But from then, get to the steerpoint announced by the CO as quick as possible, but be sure to wait up for your AI wingman (he is VERY good at spotting contacts and tally bandits). You must use the blower, and if you're directed to one of the remote places far east (stpt 3 and 4), I highly recommend you to do your transit at an altitude of 9000 meters or more, in order to conserve fuel. Your wingman will jettison his fuel tank when they're empty. You can land at any airport in Georgia to refuel if necessary.
