you want to try to carve a narrow corridor through the enemy air defenses. unfortunately, the shrike is a piece of junk that isn't very helpful, inferior in range and seeking as it is to it's chief competitor in NV, the SA-2 'dvina' consider trying to fly in at least part of your package over the treetops (though, maybe stick high over the blue to save fuel) as that will complicate targeting, acquisition and tracking for the SAMs. make sure your skywarrior ECM birds are active and jamming, as that will help at least marginally (no downside) also make sure everything that isn't an A-A fitted phantom has it's radar snoozed, which will help them evade detection unless painted by an enemy radar directly.
unfortunately in this scenario you are in many ways outmatched. losses were high in the vietnam air war for a reason, and that is because the NV IADS turtle shell was legitimately pretty tough, and besides that, deep. real, effective ARMs were not yet in-theater and so the makeshift shrike was the only real answer. and a poor one; the range was less than the SA-2 and seeking was notoriously bad.
anyway i guess general advice holds, advance in a narrow formation and try to crash through the defenses, drop everything you can as close as you can and then bail through the breach you created on the way in. don't emit on anything that isn't actively harming the enemy by emitting (offensive A-A radars, OECM only) try to get in and out without getting entangled, and make sure all of your elements have mutual support.
if you want more specific advice, post video, pictures or descriptions of what exactly you are doing and what your strategy is.
