Comrades, I will not bore you with the flight to the target. I will mention though, that the Cacauscus is quite beautiful, especially up close.
However, I will talk about the engagement, since that is what counts nyet?
I was flying along, getting nauseous at the maneuvers I had to do. When the target marker appeared on my MFD, I knew it was time to go offensive. With my Kh-31ps leading the way, I listened and looked for any SAM/AAA in the area. Intelligence is one thing, but some people in the Air Force lack it. Which is why you carry anti-radiation weapons on most engagements. If you think, there probably is. If there is not, it is good you had them no?
I came around a turn in the valley, and there was the target marker, just past Zemo-Alzhara. I was going to use the Kh-29L against the ZSU-23-4, but I need to be precise, especially in this terrain. I noticed that the terrain was blocking it, so I went to the right and got more altitude, then turned towards the threat. Thumbing the selector, I locked the Kh-31p, the status light still green. The missile leapt off the rail with such speed that I knew I could make a Kh-29L pass on the main target. The other two targets flashed past me, and the Shilka was dead, the ball of flame clearly visible. I hope they saw it coming.
Selecting the Kh-29L, I activated the seeker, and the Spetznaz were there, the dot visible. I told them quickly to get better on target, and they did. I pulled the trigger, and the missile flew off the rail.
“Good Evening Mister Minister” I said to the plane as the missile homed in.
When a building is struck by 500 kilograms of explosive, it becomes quite an impressive sight. I flew past, ensuring it’s destruction, then I turned around, the two munitions buildings next.
