Latakia is the most important Syrian harbor, heavily fortified and with extensive construction of Russian submarine pens. The port is one of the most powerful anti-Western naval bases in the Mediterranean. Peewee Cobb invades enemy air space chasing a bogy. The rocket he releases diverts to a train on the ground where it causes a series of explosions.
