1 DCS A-10C: Hideout Mission v1.1 by derelor 1. Mission overview Allied Forces discovered a small terrorist base in a valley on Georgia territory in close proximity to Russian and South Ossetian borders. Due to high tensions between Georgia and Russia neutralisation of this hideout is very delicate business. US and NATO forces with the help of local military are sending in a spec ops squad to take control over this camp and to find some valid evidence of Russian origin of this terrorist group. Two UH-60 Black Hawks with task squad on board and one scout heli OH-58D are already on their way to the area. German Tornados will provide SEAD cover, your flight will clear the target area from other threats. We're not expecting strong resistance, though terrorists might have some light air defenses including MANPADs. Satellite image of terrorist base located in the valley Global map of the area - target is highlighted in red 1/8

A Georgian airforce officer on board of a scout helicopter (OH-58, callsign Uzi 21) will lead other helicopters and provide real-time target info and communication support. Tornados will be waiting for clearance to begin the attack. Use F10 ("10. Other") radio menu for communication with other flights Takeoff at Meet Uzi 21 at Rendezvous Point (RP) Get latest target info from Uzi 21 Hold orbit pattern to South-East of RP Clear SEAD flight to take out any SAMs in target area and wait for Tornados to do the job Destroy all threats in target area Clear helicopters to push to target area and drop task force When task force will be on the ground, clear helicopters to go RTB RTB Detailed map of the area surrounding the target 2/8
