Flashpoint Latvia Episode 4 - Falcon 4 BMS - Recon

This series is completely fictional. No political point is intended.

Things are shaping up for an unwanted conflict with Russia. SIGINT has reported comms consistent with administrative movement of a Russian armor force in the Pskov Oblast, Russia. Two F-16AMs from the Royal Danish Air Force stationed in Siauliai Airbase (Lithuania) were tasked with a reconnaissance mission of this Russian force.

The TGP near the centerline has been deemed as able to acquire targets from 10 miles and below. Because the area of interest is some 25 miles into Russian territory, it will be impossible not to violate Russian airspace to identify the Russian forces. Note the GBU-31 bombs, intended as a provocation to the Russians.




Targets -Russian tanks, T-90s, battalion size- identified! Range was ~9 miles. NATO has officially violated Russian airspace now.




Although the Russians didn't turn on their integrated air defense systems in the area, the organic anti-aerial assets of the Russian tank battalion started to track the Danish F-16s. The pilots decided to pull out at relatively low altitude. In this screenshot, one of the two F-16s takes a diving turn back into Latvian airspace.
