			OPERATION DESERT STORM

Operation Desert Storm is designed to recreate the air combat missions flown against Iraq during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The fifteen missions include a sample of most of the types of actual missions flown by the USAF(e.g. strategic, defense suppression, air superiority, combat air support, and interdiction). I have also included a couple of missions because they are unusual.

I do a lot of research before developing a campaign and try to make the missions as accurate as possible. As with all my previous missions and campaigns, please feel free to post this campaign on your website, and to edit and improve the missions included here (and correct the errors I probably made).

Please note: The missions were written using V8.25a and all of them work with this version.  I do not know how they work with any other version of USAF. The missions are difficult, but can be completed successfully. Review your targets carefully. The aircraft on each mission have the recommended loadout.  

The missions are written to be flown in the following order:

1. Instant Thunder: Fly F-117s against strategic targets in downtown Baghdad.
2. Instant Thunder Part II: Fly F-15Es to bomb scud missile launchers.
3. Poobah's Party: F-15Cs sweep for MiGs as F-4G Wild Weasels attack SAM batteries. F-111s then attack a chemical weapons storage complex, a key bridge, Balad airfield and a presidential palace.
4. Strike Package: F-15s escort F-4G Wild Weasels and F-16Cs against an airfield.
5. The Basrah Raid: F-15Es attack a heavily defended POL site in southern Iraq.
6. The Great Scud Hunt: F-15Es patrol for scuds over western Iraq and F-111s attack key bridges to cut off supplies.
7. Al Taqaddum: F-117s destroy Badger bombers loaded with chemical weapons at Al Taqaddum air base.
8. Intercept Runaways: F-15s intercept Iraqi fighters fleeing to Iran.
9. Oil Spill: Destroy an oil terminal pumping crude oil into the Persian Gulf. (Since the map does not include the Persian Gulf, this mission is flow over the largest body of water available.)
10.Battle of Khafji: A-10s provide close air support against advancing Iraqi armor.
11.Ammunition Depot: F-15Es attack a large ammunition storage depot and protect special forces on the ground.
12.Lafitya: F-16s attack a scud missile manufacturing facility near Baghdad.
13.Tank Plinking: F-111s use laser-guided bombs to destroy tanks.
14.Highway of Death: F-15Es bomb a convoy of retreating Iraqi troops.
15.Deep Throat: F-111s drop deep penetration bombs on an underground command bunker.
