	“Target locked…”
	“…missile away!”
	Vasily has launched a Kh-25MP on the radar.
	“Lead, it is a ZSU-23/4 mobile gun. It is covering a convoy to the east, on the highway.”
	I have lined up on the radio station now.I enter the Bombing mode and place the reticle on the transmitter building, engaging Aeronautical submode with a squeeze of the trigger.The tone sounds in my headset; the system is counting down the time before release.
	Out of the corner of my eye, a bright flash and the SPO goes dead other than for Vasily’s airborne radar. We are alone in the sky.“One, break! Missile launch!”A MANPAD missile! An Igla! The mujahids have Iglas at the radio station!
	I pop combined APP-50 chaff-flare units and terminate the attack, noticing as I pull away that I had the wrong bombs selected anyway…RBK cluster bombs were the wrong ones for the job!
