BACKGROUND
The Soviets have two weapons that can reach NATO convoys in the Atlantic: submarines and long-range aircraft. Long-range bombers on the Kola peninsula can easily hunt the Atlantic. With Iceland in Soviet hands, however, they can attack at will and their range would be greatly increased.
A standard NATO convoy crossing the Atlantic would consist of 40-50 merchant ships. Eight to ten escorts, and if they are lucky, a helicopter carrier, will provide protection from submarine and air attack.
Here, a large NATO convoy has been detected by a Soviet Radar Ocean Reconnaissance Satellite (RORSAT) and Tu-95 Bear Ds are sent out to pinpoint their position. Following close behind the Bears are two squadrons of Backfire bombers.
This could be a very bad day for NATO...
