Up to 22 kills now. A couple of "lucky" sorties where the VPAF were totally overwhelmed by the alpha strike and their meagre defence was pointless. And the missiles worked!
Also one or two where I was fragged to bomb something, but on the way feet wet I hear the immortal call "requesting assistance!"
The pictured mission was all the way into Pack 5, with an egress over every working SAM and AAA site east of Moscow, south east along the Laos border before feet wet just north of Vinh. I lost count at 9 SA-2 calls, but luckily this bird is a '67 variant (upgraded 2 missions ago) with a RHAW and chaff. Landed with the dispensers empty, fuel state 2, the target destroyed and (mostly) clean underwear...
