SUMMERY OF OPERATIONS:

NO. 1 SQUADRON RAAF HAS BEEN CONDUCTING DEEP PENETRATION STRIKES IN AND AROUND TEHRAN SINCE THE START OF THE CAMPAIGN WITH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES-

 

1, DISRUPT AND DISABLED THE MILITARY COMMAND AND CONTROL NETWORK BASED IN THE CAPITAL TEHRAN

- AS PER OUR PREVIOUS MESSAGE OUR INTEL INDICATES THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED.

 

2, ELIMINATE ANY AIR AND/OR GROUND THREATS INTERFERING WITH THE ABOVE OBJECTIVE

- TO THIS END THE RUNWAYS AT GHALE MORGHI AB (TAB11) AND DOSHAN TAPPEH (TAB12) HAVE BEEN DESTROYED TO REDUCE THE AIR THREAT AROUND TEHRAN BY DENYING THE USE OF THESE AIRBASES. SEAD HAS BEEN CONDUCTED BY THE ESCORT ELEMENT OF EACH STRIKE DESTROYING A TOTAL OF 12x TOR-M1 SAM LAUNCHERS, 9x ZSU-23-4 SHILKA AAA VEHICALS AND 6x HAWK SAM RADARS DEFENDING THE CAPITAL.

2x F-5A FREEDOM FIGHTERS, 6x F-14A TOMCATS, 4x MIRAGE F-1, 3x F-4E PHANTOMS, 2x CHENGDU J-10 AND 1x SAEQUH (THUNDERBOLT) AIRCRAFT HAVE ALSO BEEN NEUTRALISED DURING THE STRIKE MISSIONS.

 

FURTHER STRIKES TO MEHRABAD INTERNATIONAL AND PAYAM AIRPORT WILL COMPLETELY REMOVE ANY IMMEDIATE SHORT RANGE AIR TREATS AROUND THE CAPITAL.

REQUEST DIRECTION FROM JFC SHAPE ON FURTHER OPERATIONS.
