The Al Quatir Research facility houses a number of top ranking enemy research scientists. Simply bombing the entire facility is not enough as any survivors can set up a new facility later on. Intelligence reports state that the living quarters are in the oblong building in the center of the site. We are going to destroy that building...

Hornet Four is going to put a Walleye straight in though the first floor window. You must ensure that he makes it to the target to launch the weapon.

 

 

Launch from Rafha and follow Hornet Two at 1,000 feet AGL and 440KIAS to your Waypoint 1. Your primary mission is to kill the AAA and SAM sites in your flight path. Your secondary mission is to protect Hornet Four until he releases the Walleye.

Three USAAF F-16s will also attack the facility with CBU-59 Cluster bombs at 1919 hrs so EID any contacts to the East.

A US Army Special Forces team, carried by USAAF Special Operations Helos, will land at the facility after your attack to capture any surviving enemy personnel. There is no need for you to stay on station to CAP the area... just ensure that you EID any contacts to the West before shooting.

At 1645 hrs two A-10A Thunderbolts reported contact with a Mi-24 Hind North of Rafha. They lost the enemy helo as it sped North along the river to the North East. Right now they are on their way back to Qasumah and are still searching for the Hind. They should have no trouble if they find the Hind but be on the alert in case it eludes them and possibly attacks your flight.
