A LOMAC Mission Report: Turn Their HAWKs Into Scrap!

	“Sacha, SAM-launch, twelve o’clock!”
	The HAWK has launched! I check my weapon panel, ensuring I’m back in YPC mode. One Kh-25 left. I designate the threat emitter, confident that this time the system will prioritize the SAM, hopefully over the Shilka that is also out there.
	The Kh-25 drops off the pylon, and falls a few feet...
	... before igniting and streaking away.
	"I got him!"
	I pull a hard, 9-g turn and fight to stay conscious, tightening my abdominal muscles as the instructors taught us in flight school. popping chaff/flare combos from my APP-50 dispenser. My warning system shouts “Maximum G!” as I roll in for a bomb attack.
	I put the search radar under my pipper, switch into salvo mode, and drop a double PB-250 onto the SAM battery, jinking madly to avoid tracers streaming past my cockpit.

“One, off to the southeast! Watch the triple-A, two, he’s next to the runway!”
