There was a patrol aircraft, which made all the difference.
Indeed, this time the mission was executed solely by Hassan.
His mission was to pilot the "Super Flag" to the attack area in the sea, and upon receiving target information from the patrol aircraft, launch the mounted anti-ship missile.
The key was that missile!
The "Flying Fish" anti-ship missile, also introduced from Locke along with the "Super Flag"!
The Iraq Air Force most desired the "Flying Fish" missile, and the "Mirage" F1 fighter, also imported from Locke, could utilize this missile. However, Locke insisted on bundle sales and was unwilling to sell the missiles separately, forcing the Iraq Air Force to purchase a batch of "Super Flag" attack aircraft.
Of course, the "Super Flag" was not without its uses.
