political situation :
Country A
rich
geographically fast , mostly flatlands semi arid terrain
on the defensive
small population
wide distances between major strategic areas
airforce
42 F-15C ( AIM-9P/AIM-7E/F) backed up by 3 AWACS and tankers
no strike aircraft
small number of F-5E as secondary fighters ( 50)
Country B
rich but only 1/3 as much as A
long land border with A
same topography
much larger population
on the offensive
goal is to deliver airstrikes against the vital strategic targets close to the border ( but still within reach of your aircraft)
And to launch a limited ground invasion of A to intimidate and scare its population and seize territory as a bargaining chip
airforce
55 Mig-25 PD (R-40M)
126 Mig-23 MF ( R-23/R-60)
150 + Mig-21
100 Su-17/Su-24/Mig-23BN
pilot capability is the same for both sides
f-15 has only been operational with country A for only a few months
Country B army is 4 times the size of A and have a much bigger arsenal of SAMs
You are the airforce commander of country B
You realize you cannot with your force defeat the F-15 or challenge its total superority but what tactics can you adopt to
1- help your attackers evade the F-15s
2- Minimize the losses amongst your fighters
3- Still be able to support a limited ground invasion and deliver some strikes at key strategic facilities
thanks
