I was watching TV while playing, so wasn't giving it all my concentration, can that be my excuse? Almost as soon as I started this misison, the Russians and US/Coalition forces started fighting, so the S400 was opening fire on everything it saw. Once they were ready, I flew 6 planes towards the S400 (with Popeyes and SOM A cruise missiles), along with an eight-plane fighter escort (overkill, but I thought they'd distract the S400 and, once it was destroyed, flank into the area it previous controlled from the West). I got to within 35nm, but the second the jets rose to 10,000ft to launch their popeyes, it was a massacre! One plane had been flying away, and launched a SOM A from a much longer range, which luckily hit and disabled the S400. After this, I was able to control the skies over Syria and I think only lost one or two more plane, after shooting down lots of Migs. The mission ended when Coalition forces sank the RFS Moskva. I'm going to post a more detailed AAR, but have come down with a nasty cold, so that'll have to wait!
