This is a continuation of my previous mission.
Situation
Despite Syrian efforts to destroy files in the HQ at Bum we were able to recover some useful intel.
Syrian army operates a number of Scud short-range ballistic missiles and some of the missiles are based in our AO. Unfortunately Syrians pre-emptively had dispersed the launchers before the invasion so the launchers survived airstrikes on their base. The captured documents indicate that Landay airfield is one of the possible dispersal sites for the launchers. Phones recovered from the HQ contained messages about several high ranking officers/regime members planning to pass through the airfield soon.
Mission
We will launch an immediate airmobile attack on the Landay airfield and capture it.
If the Scuds are present they must be secured. If any officers/VIPs are present their capture would be preferable.
The RAF will be providing support with Transport helos and gunships.
Enemy
The airfield was subjected to airstrike during the opening hour of the invasion with the runway rendered unusable. After that it seems most surviving heavy equipment has been moved away from the airfield leaving the base lightly guarded. However due to the possible involvement of VIPs, internal security forces may have already been deployed to bolster the base's defences. These troops while light infantry are better equipped and trained than your average Syrian army troops.
Enemy reinforcements may come from nearby towns/cities which are known to be held by Syrian infantry and unconventionals.
Enemy armor presence in the AO should be negligible.
Friendly forces
Infantry Squad
2x20mm autocannon armed Wiesel tankettes
3xMerlin HC3 transport helos
2xAH-64 attack helos
