0430 7 JULY 1984. ROYAL HUSSARS, COMBAT TEAM DELTA. ROSSING, WEST GERMANY.

THE BLACK EFFECT −1 DAY.

Every troop of the Royal Hussars’ Battlegroup had been on the receiving end of a Soviet strike, whether by artillery, missiles or the bombs and rockets from Soviet aircraft. At least two of the low-flying attackers had been shot down by Rapier missiles, and one had been damaged by a Blowpipe shoulder-launched SAM. British RAF Tornado, Air Defence Versions (ADV) and a dozen West German Luftwaffe Phantoms called in to support, battled with the Soviet Flankers and Foxhound fighters at high altitude. Their preferred target was the Flogger ground-attack aircraft, preventing them from inflicting damage on the defenders dug in to hold back the massed tank attack that was about to ensue. They shot down five fighters and damaged a Foxhound, losing two Phantoms and a Tornado in the process, before breaking off the attack to refuel and rearm. More NATO aircraft were on the way, a maelstrom of activity forming overhead of the British 1st Armoured Division. But the Soviet air force was also sending in a second wave.
