Intercept missions.

Is it possible to duplicate the recent flights by Russian bombers and their escorts over the English channel. ?

I have done it with Tacpack, you just import what ever aircraft you want as a tanker and then put it on the map with a heading, altitude and speed of your choice. Any changes in those parameters you want can be done via the drop down menu

I don't mess with that stuff personally which is a shame since it would make for some good flying. There is a way to make flight plans for AI and you Intercept somewhere along the way. Has to do with timing though since you don't have ground radar lol.

... And in NEUWUC you can provide waypoints for platforms and put them into self preservation mode so they will defend themselves if you get too close. We've done scenarios with Backfire bombers coming out of Cuba, heading north off the coast of Florida and launching Air to Surface missiles at carriers parked in the Norfolk NAVSTA. Strap on a fighter or two and try to hit them before they launch their missiles - or if too late shoot the missiles out of the sky. and then try and catch up with the bombers which beat feet back to Cuban airspace. bwahaha - good luck!

AI Russian Bear Intercepts can be created with appropriately flight planned AI Bears and Fighters or one can just flight plan the AI bears and then fly their own intercepts on them.

Below are some screenshots of a strictly AI intercept off the coast of California near what used to be NAS Miramar by a couple of what should be familiar NBAI F-14's.

As I indicated in my previous post you can also just flight plan the AI Russian Bears to intercept and escort in your own fighter.

I prefer to flight plan them as AI targets to intercept and shoot down myself as shown in the following screen shots:

thanks

Thanks for all the responses, I see now that it is possible.
