DCS World: F/A-18C Flaming Sunrise Campaign by Sandman Simulations (2023)

It is June 2005. Situation at Persian Gulf has been stable for some years. For the last month there has been rising tension from new direction while Iran has launched multiple naval and air force exercises at southern coast of the country. Iran has made political and diplomatic provocations against other Gulf States, mostly United Arab Emirates, accusing them about production of nuclear and chemical weapons and repeated attacks against Iran commercial shipping. Maybe most worrying was statement of Iran defense minister speaking in Iran television last week telling United Arab Emirates being governed by national socialist leaders threatening security of Iran citizens living in Emirates.
