A LOMAC Mission Report: Turn Their HAWKs Into Scrap! Page 6

“You got the HI-PAR, Sacha, but the bombs scattered among the launchers. You have to put one right on target to knock them out.”

“Roger-now, go take out the Shilka if you can, Vasily. It’s going to interfere with the next series!”

“Nyet, I’m in hot behind you already and committed, on the search radar. It’ll have to wait til the next pass.”

I roll and bring the pipper to the remains of the SAM system as Vasily calls bombs gone.

	He is on the HAWK search radar, and it is our last target.
	I intend to take out the rest of the launchers with my last four bombs.
	I see the last radar set go up in a bright flash and mushroom cloud as I line up and squeeze twice.
	My HUD goes blank, and the barber-pole drops over my “b” indicator on the eyebrow panel. I’m now…what is your word? Winchester? Out of ammo. I pull up and punch afterburner to avoid the 23mm tracers, accelerating through 1000 km/h and hoping I wasn’t too fast on the bomb run. In my rear-view mirror, explosions! I’ve taken out three of the four remaining launchers!
