During the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War, several Afghani or Soviet aircraft crossed the Pakistani border to attack Mujahideen guerrilas. The Pakistani Air Force defended Pakistan air space using F-16 fighters newly acquired from the United States. On April 16, 1987, two Afghani Su-22s and two MiG-23s (flying top cover) were on a mission to strafe the village of Tull, and were detected 4 miles within Pakistani territory. Two F-16s (flown by 14th Squadron Commander Badar Islam and his wingman) were vectored to intercept. The F-16s went after the Su-22s, destroying one with an Sidewinder missile. The other three Afghani aircraft turned around and escaped back into Afghani air space.
In this version of this scenario, the Afghani/Soviet player has a ground unit to attack in the center of the playing field.
The Afghani airforce is represented by Russia.

During the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War, several Afghani or Soviet aircraft crossed the Pakistani border to attack Mujahideen guerrilas. The Pakistani Air Force defended Pakistan air space using F-16 fighters newly acquired from the United States. On September 12, 1988, Pakistani Flight Lieutenant Khalid Mahmood and his wingman were scrambled from Kamra and directed by GCI at a pair of bogeys threatening to enter into Pakistani airspace. As Khalid and his wingman paced the bogeys, CGI directed the pair of F-16s towards a quartet of new contacts heading into Pakistan. As Khalid accelerated towards the new contacts, he identified them as MiG-23s. The two original contacts turned towards the Pakistani aircraft, rapidly overhauling, leaving Khalid and his wingman facing 6 MiG-23s. Khalid managed to down two with Sidewinders before the remaining four MiG-23s managed to turn back and escape towards Afghanistan.
In the actual encounter, Khalid's wingman played no role in the fighting, but I have included his aircraft in the interest of completeness. Try Khalid2.btl for a version of this scenario that includes no wingman for Khalid.

In the actual encounter, Khalid's wingman played no role in the fighting, so in this version Khalid has no wingman. See Khalid1.btl for a version of this scenario that includes the wingman.

During the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War, several Afghani or Soviet aircraft crossed the Pakistani border to attack Mujahideen guerrilas. The Pakistani Air Force defended Pakistan air space using F-16 fighters newly acquired from the United States. November 3rd, 1988, Pakistani Lieutenant Khalid Mahmood was CAPing with his leader near the border of Afghanistan, when they were directed by GCI to intercept 3 bogeys flying at 17000ft that had crossed the border. An additional three bogeys were lingering on the other side of the border. As Khalid and his leader approached the approaching contacts, they were identified as Su-22s. The Su-22s soon turned to flee back towards Afghanistan, presenting their hot exhaust towards the approaching F-16s. Khalid's leader was setting up to attack one Su-22, when it elected to turn back into the leaders F-16, possibly spoiling his attack, but making him vulnerable to attack by Khalid as a result. Khalid launched a Sidewinder which damaged this Su-22. Khalid launched another Sidewinder which finally destroyed the target. The other Su-22s escaped back into Afghanistan. This was Khalid's third kill.
For scenarios depicting Khalids 1st and 2nd kills, see Khalid1.btl and/or Khalid2.btl.

During the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War, several Afghani or Soviet aircraft crossed the Pakistani border to attack Mujahideen guerrilas. The Pakistani Air Force defended Pakistan air space using F-16 fighters newly acquired from the United States. On May 17, 1986, two Afghani Su-22s were caught lingering over targets near Parachin by the commander of Squadron No. 9, Hamid Qadri, flying alone in his F-16A. Qadri pursued and attacked the Su-22s 9 miles within Pakistani air space, downing one with an AIM-9L. The second Su-22 was damaged but managed to escape back across the border, where it likely crashed.
