A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: OPFOR Strike Package

From page 313/chapter 10-19 in the Heavy OPFOR Operational Art handbook, a look at a strike package in a concise, illustrated way.

This sample package features 20 MiG-27s supported by ten MiG-23s, six MiG-29s, and eight Yak-28PPs. The latter have a particularly unenviable job, specialist aircraft like themselves are always in low supply and very high demand.

For the “other side of the hill”, discussing high-intensity NATO air operations in a similar time period, I recommend Air Battle Central Europe.
