Thanks TEEJ, I recall the cruise missile, not that common of a mission, so it seems that this fits into a standard ops theme at this point.
No problem, Lonewolf. It appears that the Russians have not requested cruise missile overflights at the moment.

Baghdad – Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced on Tuesday that Iraqi airspace has been opened for Russia, but this is made only with some ‘conditions’.

Speaking at a press conference in Baghdad today Abadi said, “We opened our skies to the Russians under some conditions. We have not received an official request from Russia about the passage of any types of rockets across our skies. ”
