:09:02
Ground: Northwest of Baghdad.
:09:04
Your area of concern will be
this northern main supply route.
:09:07
The Scuds landing in Israel
are causing the alliance problems.
:09:12
Two nights ago,
the Israeli air force was in the air
:09:14
waiting to attack targets inside Iraq.
:09:16
If Israeljoins in the war,
:09:19
the alliance with the Arab states will crumble,
:09:22
which, of course, is what Iraq wants.
:09:24
But if the Scud attacks on Israel
don't stop within two weeks,
:09:27
Israel willjoin the war. We're not
concerned about the fixed silos.
:09:31
Air strikes are taking care of those.
:09:33
The mobile launchers are a different matter.
:09:35
They're almost impossible to locate,
but they have one weakness:
:09:39
To programme in their targets,
they need assistance from Baghdad.
:09:43
This information is fed
through fibre-optic cables
:09:45
buried along the MSRs between
Baghdad and the border towns.
:09:49
Cut those cables and they can't fly.
:09:52
Mission in two parts:
:09:54
One, locate and destroy the fibre-
optic cable along the northern MSR;
:10:00
two, destroy mobile Scud.
:10:03
Repeat: One, locate and destroy
the fibre-optic cable
:10:07
along the northern MSR;
:10:08
two, destroy mobile Scud. Any questions?
:10:18
This terrain's crap. It's like a billiard table.
:10:20
How the hell are we going to
find a hide in that?
:10:23
- Maps?
- One in a million.
:10:25
Air navigation, otherwise jack shit.
:10:28
- If we get better, they're yours.
- Shit.
:10:30
Wind your neck in, Chris.
This is what it's all about, mate.
:10:34
Getting on with what you've got.
:10:36
- So how are we getting in?
- There's no point taking vehicles.
:10:40
We'lljust stick out like a bulldog's bo"llo"cks.
:10:42
Looks like a heli drop-off.
:10:44
Give Harry and his crew a warning order.
:10:46
If we're going to find the cable, we
have to hit the MSR at its narrowest.
:10:51
That'll be at a bend. Everybody cuts
corners, what about here?
:10:55
Shouldn't be any military activity whatsoever.
:10:57
Just be aware of the airfield in the southwest.
