Sweet little combo

It should be easy to imagine the whole thing by looking at the starting position, but if it's not so easy, perhaps it's time to study this puzzle by moving the pieces. 🌝

17/22 = 77% not terrible

I neglected to note the success rate last time, so here it is now, for future reference.

And just in case, this kicks off with f4+.
Apparently the Rs are all merely observers, or are included to divert attention from the main event.
