The raid on Kryvvy Rih's Air defences yesterday was a complete success. Today we are going in to complete the job.
The runway is the primary target. The ground defence will be light. However, it has been learned through sources that an elite Russian interceptor squadron, the 'Scimitars', has been stationed within support distance of Kryvyy Rih.

That elite inteceptor group is not so 'elite' now! You did well.
Babysitting slugs, like the A-7, is no easy task. This strike will make the air over the Crimea a little easier to manage.
And giving the Russian top fighter jocks a bloody nose sure doesn't hurt either.

Flying escort is the hardest, and least envied, job in a fighter pilots repertoire. The best advice for this one is practice. You need to engage and defeat your opponent quickly.
If a fighter gets to close to the A-7s try to distract them with a quick missile shot. This will disrupt them for a few minutes.
Even better, a Wingman on their six makes a huge distraction. Make sure, however, you can handle 2 to 1 odds.
