Operation Hunting Hawk

Operation: Hunting Hawk was an assault by ISAF aircraft on Erusea's transport aircraft nearby Comberth Harbor as part of the Usean Continental War in 2004.

Prelude
Erusea made the decision to mobilize its Aegir Fleet then-stationed at Comberth Harbor to deal with ISAF, since the bombing run failed a couple of months ago. The Aegir Fleet was extremely powerful; if Erusea completed combat preparations and it set sail, ISAF would truly be defeated. So, in response, ISAF launched a three-operation campaign to immobilize the Aegir Fleet so they could never set sail. The first step was to cut off its supply chain by taking down transport aircraft sending supplies to the fleet.

Summary
ISAF aircraft entered an air corridor to the northeast of Comberth Harbor with the intent of shooting down the transports. However, Erusea prepared for an attack by deploying two E-767 jammer aircraft to prevent the radar from being used. By relying on visual contact, however, the ISAF pilots managed to find and shoot down the jammers, clearing up the radar and opening the way for the attack. Escort fighters engaged the pilots, but were unsuccessful in bringing them down. The pilots shot down the transports with little effort now that the radar was back online, and the operation was a success.

Result
By itself, this battle was not much of a victory. However, it paved the way for the second operation as part of the campaign to stop the Aegir Fleet from deploying. This victory froze the fleet for just long enough for ISAF to carry out its next operation, Operation: Early Bird.
