After an hour long debate, the Government announced it has authorized the Military to invade the neighboring nation of Adjikstan to secure the border and to open up a route to the ocean. It is believed that they intend to annex Adjikstan because of its strategic location near a different ocean. Top officials in the military expect this to be a short campaign, due to Adjikstan's almost nonexistent military.

The 76th Guards Chernobyl airborne division stood in formation, prepping for their mission which was to be assigned by General Zhukov. When he arrived, the area fell silent as he fumbled with the sound system.

"Comrades!" he began, "In six hours time you will participate in "Operation Mad Jackal". You, the 76th, will be the spearhead of this operation. In the beginning hours of the operation, you will be airdropped in three strategic areas; Baghram Airport, the Adjikstani capital of Kandahar, and the Krasnyj Valley on the border. Once the gorge and the valley are secured, we will begin deploying the remaining forces. Once we have these, you will be relieved by regular Army forces, and assigned in keeping the heights to protect our supply columns. Special Forces will assist you in these operations, having deployed some time ago as shock troopers. The Kolgujevska forces will be joining you shortly, and are tasked with occupying the capital. Dismissed."



Several hours later the heavy transport craft were loaded up. It was early morning on a sunday, people were more then likely still sleeping. No one in Adjikstan knew of what would unfold in the coming hour.

OOC: So your invading the country next to you because you want a secured route to the ocean?

ooc: basically. plus the country is known to have supported the rebels in the last few internal conflicts.
ps,occ: both Kolgujevska and Adjikstan are my puppet states fyi

The jump light in the AN-124 went green. "time to go." a paratrooper thought. All 90 para's in this aircraft stood and waited for the command. they were 6,000 feet off the ground, heading towards the airport. When hey were at the designated area they began piling out of the small door near the front of the plane, while the rear cargo door launched out their armor; two BMD-3's and a Sprut gun. It was mid-October, so it was relatively chilly here. When the troopers landed, about half mile off target, they regrouped along with the armor and advanced on the airfield. On the tarmac was several "bombers", which were really just Cessna's with two 150lbs bombs strapped to the wings and a M60 machine gun pintle-mounted on the side door. These, judging by their condition hadn't been flown in years and were falling apart in their own weight. The para's ran up to each one and threw a White Phosphorus grenade inside, causing them to go up in a nice ball of fire. Suddenly a burst of fire was heard from the control tower; an old man with a sub-machine gun that was older then him. His gun was able to get off a few shots before it stovepiped, and before a marksman put a round through his head.

Ranakin looked around as he was handed the telegram from USSCP about the current situation. He looked over the cliff face as he watched the seagulls feed off the dead rebels below them at the rocks.

"We can't send a military force but maybe the Lynion Assassin's can do something about it," started Ranakin as Woff and Jian appeared next to him.

"Why not send 500 Lynion Assassin's with orders to aid the USSCP. However, if its discretness you're after, why not the Black Hand Mercenary Company?" suggested Woff.

Ranakin sat down as he couldn't really risk sending many troops overseas but the mercenaries were after work so it all seem to have fitted in.

"Have the Black Hand go to USSCP and settle the troubled nations however they see fit," ordered Ranakin.

Their last known location is the mountains in northern Adjikstan. The following names are the targets.


Shamil Basayev
Malaki al-Fallah
Hans Portsmann
Akhmad Kadyrov
Abu al-Waleed
Khaled Yusef Muhammad al-Emitat


I am authorized to provide your contractors with full air support.

Lavakhan studied the telegram as Hawkeye checked his high-powered sniper rifle. He switched to his PDA as they crossed over into northern Adjikstan where they were supposed to have gone to. Ion and Harris formed up the rear as they treck over in their camo gear as the distanct sound of gun fire could be heard.

"Six heads they want alive," started Lavakhan as he turned into a werewolf. "Don't take the job too easy,"

Hawkeye nodded his head as he scanned the mountains quickly before the group vanished into the dense jungle.

Just arrived north. How many rebels do we expect to find?

The airfield was captured in less then 20 minutes; most of it walking between buildings. The only occupant was the old man who was in charge of security. The Paratroopers at the gorge were already in place, with military convoys beginning to roll through. The airport would be the forward command base.
The forces that were deployed to the capital faced moderate resistance from the police forces, who surrendered after loosing several hundred officers in wave attacks. The Presidents palace was the sight of a large battle. The Presidential Guards were much better armed then the police and had entrenched themselves inside the building. because of the mortar shells the VDV fired at the palace, parts of the roof were caving in. The Adjikstani army had sent out a few T-34-85 tanks, hoping to force the VDV forces in the capital to retreat. many of the tanks broke down before they even reached the city. The ones that did had trouble getting to the city center, which was congested from the early morning traffic. This made it easy for a Hunter-Killer team to wipe them out.

By nightfall, the VDV had been reinforced by ground troops and many T-72BM tanks. While the people of Adjikstan had a deep hatred for the USSCP, they weren't willing to start an insurgency immediately. The former President had the vision of a peaceful country, banning firearms in the cities and disarming the military. They would need the help of the warlords in the mountains, and other militant groups worldwide. The supplies they would need would now be hard to get since the supply depots were bombed, so they were limited to what they could steal. Many thought leaving the country was their best option, and began to flee the country. A few dyed-in-the-wool patriots had formed a resistance group in a basement.They constantly bickered over the situation at hand.

In the mountains there are large numbers, however you will usually encounter small groups. They know these mountains like the back of their hands, and know how to hide in them effectively. Should you follow them into caves, I recomend throwing in a stun grenade or frag first.

A convoy going through the mountains had been ambushed by militants, killing dozens of soldiers. and allowing the militants to supply themselves with various weapons; much better then the ones they had before. They had fled to a nearby mountain top village.


One of the Squads from a detachment stationed around the bend crawled up the mountainside. They wold reach the village by nightfall and take their revenge. It was a small village, of roughly 100 people. The majority of them were elderly people or children. They didn't know this, though. All they knew was the militant forces retreated to this village.

"Alfansi, Volodya and Khokol flank left. Me, Stas and Sasha will go right. The rest of you straight ahead. Be as quite a humanly possible."

One of the soldiers creeped up behind a farmer, who was on his midnight smoke break and slit his throat. Another villager got a bayonet in the back.
A soldier had tripped over a corpse and accidentally fire a round, which had hit once of his friends in the shoulder. After that hell broke loose. Startled by the noise, everyone in the village woke up and went outside, and the soldiers thinking they fell into a trap began to open on the crowd. After the massacre, the soldiers went around looking for the weapons cache; only finding a few bolt action rifles, a rusty shotgun and a old Uzi submachine gun. They deemed this as enough evidence to bring back to the Captain, and proceeded to loot the place, taking non-perishables, CD-Players, a guitar, a goat..

When they were done, they began throwing white phosphorus grenades in the huts. Anyone left inside would have been killed by those. They patched up the wounded soldier and proceeded back to camp, with the goat carrying the stolen goods.

Al-Jazeera morning news



Late last night the occupying forces razed a small peaceful village in the Khost province, killing all 105 residents, many of them children. It is unknown why they did this horrible act, but I personally call it ethnic cleansing. In other news, the super highway construction has finished, despite obvious obstructions. Today there is a 60% chance of rain, with snow in the mountains...



Aziz's basement
"We have to get them back for this. we need to hit them hard."

"How? its not like we can waltz right into their country and kill their leaders?"

"Or can we.. Think about it; they only have our shared border locked down. We could leave the country and fly in from a different one."

"But what about weapons? we can't bring those on planes anymore."

"I know a guy who can help teach us to make bombs out of house-hold chemicals. Failing that, theres the Black-Market.."

"I like this plan and everything, but the game is on.."

"I want the statistics of out forces in Adjikstan."

"Comrade, we currently have 15,000 troops in-country, all volunteer. Supply columns are proceeding smoothly."


"What about other conflicts?"

"We have an NKVD detachment supported by a Spetsnaz company in a small country far off on a peacekeeping mission, and the force that was assigned to protect those researchers is now under the control of the Kolgujev Military. Overall, we are capable of participating in international issues."


"And the viral outbreak?"


"Contained, we are waiting for the last of them to die off."









Adjikstan

Just another routine supply convoy. A large number of ZIL-131 trucks moved slowly up the hill, lead by two T-64MV tanks and several BMP-2's. Inside the column were a few BM-21 launcher trucks, headed to the northern part of the country to assist in wiping out rebels. A pair of Mi-24P gunships flew overhead, watching the mountainside.

The battle for the mountains would be a long one. Adjikstan's remaining army had retreated into the mountains supported by hundreds of thousands of insurgents. Worst yet, it made it so the USSCP forces wouldn't have armor to back them. Ground forces would have artillery at their disposal, along with helicopter support however nothing to protect them from small arms fire. Many soldiers ditched their body armor because of its heavy weight, exchanging the difference for extra ammunition. The Adjikstani forces have dug into the mountain well enough as to make heavy air strikes useless, in addition to making several tanks into pill boxes.


"Guys! Enemies at 12'oclock!"

"Get PKP fire over there! they're trying to flank us!"

"They got Nikolai! hold back, I'm gonna fire an RPG!"

"Lieutenant, more of the bastards higher up on the ridge!"

"Radio, call artillery, everyone pull back, they'll get it from the air"



The infantry squad pulled back into a crevice, and not too far away several BM-21 launchers began to fire upon the mountainside. The rockets have penetrated a man made cave, catching an ammunition dump and a field hospital. When the shelling was over, the squad went back up to where the insurgents were and finished off the wounded and ones who wanted to surrender.

The IIA

Lavakhan and Hawkeye flanked into the mountains while the other flanked thier left. The ground was smooth and the distant artillery sounds echoed in the background. Hawkeye lay low in an excellent position as a rebel partol was sighted.

"Hawkeye, shoot the rearguard to the front and try and cover them with the artillery explosions," whispered Lavakhan as he signaled the other two to lay low for awhile.

Hawkeye poked his sniper rifle's barrel through the bushes as he peered through the scope. He quietly waited as the first explosion ecohed before another explosion. He prepare to pull the trigger and fired his first shot as another artillery round exploded. Lavakhan peered through as he watched one by one the partol was falling until the front three suddenly stopped and turned around.

'Crap,' Hawkeye thought to himself as he changed position and fired another perfect round.

Lavakhan suddenly popped up and blasted a handful rounds into the remaining before the pair went to the peek of the mountain.

"Alright, we should be close," detailed Lavakhan as he studied the map.

"I see... six targets, near big horn and the elephant. Range 300, wind is 12, going east."

The marksman adjusted the heavily modified PSO-1 scope on her SVD.

"wait. One of them has explosives. Target that mans satchel. He's the one with the beard."

A loud crack, followed by a muffled explosion. The sniper's bullet had hit the bag of dynamite and detonated it, ripping the group of rebels to pieces.

Chernobyl district Military base

"Comrade General, you have a call waiting from the ministry."

"Put it through. Hello?"

"General, what is the situation on the Adjikstani conflict?"

"It's going smoothly so far. We control the countryside and the cities, however I need more troops. All of the resistance is coming from the mountains, and they've been able to resupply themselves from across their border."

"Hmm.. We can increase the number of personnel by 200,000 troops. I understand that your forces are stretched thing right now, so this should help fill the gaps, and allow you to begin an offensive in the mountains."

Lavakhan, Hawkeye, Harris and Ion steathly passed through the mountains sliting any guards they come across. They patiently sat down on one of the peeks as Hawkeye peered through his scope and notice a convory of men with donkey's carrying muntions and explosives.

"One anti-tank round can solve that problem," smiled Hawkeye as he removed the cartage, pulled out the bolt and placed an anti-tank piecing bullet into it before reloading.

"Make a clean short," whispered Lavakhan as he ordered the other two to take points.

Hawkeye peered through the scope and studied the group of people before finding his target. He squeezed the trigger gently as an explosion occured which deafened the shot however, it didn't deafen the chain reaction of explosions occuring.

"Piece of cake," smiled Hawkeye as they re-located steathly.

"Falcon this is mountain top, do you copy?"

"This is Falcon, what do you see?"

A Spetsnaz recon team has been watching a small town for the past five days. They can confirm that there are weapons caches here, and that many of the wounded rebels are taken here for medical treatment. Not skipping the opportunity for striking a heavy blow upon the rebels, they called in a pair of Hinds to take out the town. About an hour ago, a meeting was called in the town hall, which included many key rebel leaders.

"town at V01A04 is your target, engage at will."


"Copy, Falcon out."


The Hinds circled the town a few times before dropping their FAE munitions. Most of the town was in a panic after this, when the gunships began to fire rocket salvos at buildings and houses. The gunners were busy at work targeting anyone on the ground with the Yak-12.7mm vulcan cannon, with the AP-I rounds setting fire to structures and people alike. A few trucks attempted to get away, but got ambushed by the Spetsnaz down the road. When the Hinds were out of ammo, another pair came in and mined the town and the surrounding area.

Any nation with satellites would have seen this.

The paper seemed to hold in it nothing but bad news for ‘ole Yuri, Russians marching in the streets of Yalta, a lack of success for his great building projects in Sevastopol and the interior, hell, even the growth that he promised during his election campaign was slowing, it just seemed that Crimeans weren’t buying up enough goods to keep the 8% growth up. If only there was a way to keep the growth up artificially, at least until after the Duma elections, that way, Hegemony would stay in power, and Yuri Shanin would have a job.

So Yuri flipped to the international section of his Yalta Observer, and there it was, the invasion of Adjikstan by a communist nation! Who could ask for anything more? Not only would this development help Yuri to cultivate a hardliner’s stance against Communism—a position always popular with the passionately capitalist Crimean masses—but would also—if it came to war—help to boost the economy by setting it on a war footing. Perhaps the Hegemons would prevail after all, Yuri thought as he began to call in his aids for a emergency meeting on the situation.

One Hour Later…

The meeting had assembled, the six seats filled, at the head, President Shanin, next to him stood the Minister of War Peter Rost, and Joseph Gamov, the head of the Diplomacy Department. Rounding out the table was Admiral Michael Witte of the navy, General Joseph Muhudin, commander of the army and air corps, and Boris Segriv, the President’s chief of staff and head speechwriter.

After an exchange of pleasantries, Shanin stood up and spoke, “Gentlemen, it has come to my attention that the communists from the USSCP has invaded a sovereign nation, without causus belli. It is the opinion of this administration that such an act cannot and will not go on without retaliation, and so I wish to issue a statement condemning the actions of this government and announcing Crimea’s intentions of protecting the sovereignty of nations in the face of hardship. I have brought you fellows here today to inform you of my intentions, and to be briefed on what are military options are at this time…”

Later on that night…

Word spread quickly that the President was to make a speech, on what, the news media did not know, all they were told was that it would be a very important address, possibly the most important of this Presidency so far. At 18:00, the television sets of the nation tuned in to see their gentle leader on the screen.
“Freemen and women of the Crimean Republic, you may have seen recent coverage of the atrocities in nearby Adjikstan by Communist armies from Chernobyl-Pripyat, and you may have looked the other way, ignoring these people and their wars like they were simply an act of youthful indiscretion. Well, that is not the Crimean way. The Crimean way is to fight against the infringement of liberty, it is to fight the invasion of free nations by those who wish to crush them. We should not, and will not ignore their actions as if they did not apply to us, because they apply to us and every other free nation on the planet.

Tonight I will give the USSCP one chance to stand down, one chance to take the high road and leave the people of Adjikstan without further molestation, before I will send the great force that is the Armies and Navies of Crimea against them. They have one week to remove their troops from within Adjikstan before retaliation, one week before war. I would like to thank you all for tuning in, good night, and god bless.”

"Kostya, did you get anything out of those prisoners?"

"No, they don't even speak Russian. Alfansi tried speaking to them in English, but nothing. All I know is that they are foreign fighters, equipped with foreign equipment, thus they don't speak any local languages."

"Lets put them where their buddies will find them, eh?"

The three soldiers drove the truck full of captives near the mountains. Corporal Kostya put an F1 hand grenade in the cabin of the truck, so that if the rebels were to occupy it, the safety would flip, and boom. Many of the captives were hooked up to dead-man-leavers, along with enough Semtex to take out a large building. When one of the captives would be moved, it would set off the explosives.

They left the truck in the shade; they weren't THAT evil. Since they were quite a way from their camp, the three hitched a ride with a farmer who was heading that way to the nearby town.

The soldiers were right; late that night some rebels came down from the mountain, tried to take the truck, the grenade went off killing several standing near it, and the resulting shrapnel made one of the booby trapped rebels slump over enough to fall off his switch. Many other checkpoints didn't know what the blast was, thinking it was a supply convoy being ambushed. a T-80UM1 followed by two BTR-80's went to check out the blast, finding what used to be a truck, and remains of about 20 rebels. The group reported back that the rebels had an accident with some explosives.

Lavakhan realised they were caught but he hoped it was Allied Forces who came up to have a look around. He waved at Hawkeye as the pair stood up and Lavakhan spat out a piece of grass thread before he talked.

"Hello my fellow commrades," shouted Lavakhan as Ion pulled out an anti-tank rocket launcher. "It seems we got your attention and Ion, put down the weapon,"

Ion aimed the luancher to the ground as they waited for a response.

From: Minister of Defense: Marshal Lorcán Ua Tuathail

We have recently heard of your dire situation and will come to your aide. We are sending our south fleet and an expeditionary force of 50,000 troopers to your nation. Another 450,000 will be arriving over the next two weeks. We will also supply your insurgency with weapons, food, training, equipment, funding and whatever else you require. Death to communism!

Ion aimed the luancher to the ground as they waited for a response.





The group of soldiers, who were spooked by the werewolf, still had their rifles aimed. The Officer of the group came forward.

"Judging by your uniforms, you are either Rebels or Mercenaries. Since we are still standing here, I assume the latter. Everyone at ease, there was a Merc unit assigned to the mountains. So what brings you all to the asshole of the earth?"

We will gladly accept this aid.

"We're the Black Hand Mercenary hired to kill a few people," said Lavakhan as he turned into his natural form. "I just do what I'm told to do and get paid for it. Besides, I smell rebels coming,"

Hawkeye looked around as he sighted rebels about 700 metres and closing in fast.

"I'm a vampire and we have rebels coming up to setup an ambush what do you wanna do USSCP Forces?" asked Hawkeye as his eye colour changed.

Thinking quickly, the Officer said: "everyone take defensive positions on the high ground, Marksman, engage at will, everyone else engage when they are in range."

He then said to the Mercs. "Get on that ridge over there and ambush them, A few of us will flank them when they get close"

As the South Fleet reached 20 miles out from the Adjikstani shore the rear-admiral ran over the final plans in his head. There had been no contact made as of yet with the Adjikstanis, but that helped rather then hindered their plan. The fleet formed up and came to a rest. The rear admiral's voice came up over the fleet's closed net, "Fire control, fire control, set coordinates." When his display flashed that all ships had acquired the target area he once again picked up the mic, "Fire control, fire control, open outer doors, and on my mark fire at will." Five minutes later when all the ships VLSs where online and ready he gave the word. In less then 30 seconds 400 missiles where in the air and 10 seconds later 5 miles of shoreline was awash with sand, smoke, splintering trees, fire and ocean spray. The landing ships had already begun the solemn journey. Overhead the ZX drones whined as they headed to the shore. There deadly payload of ZX gas would help to "sedate" any remaining resistance that the missiles had been unable to render useless. In front of the landing ships where up-armored tugs to spray the immediate landing zone with foam to stop the fires. The occupational USSCP forces, recently arrived, certainly knew they had company, and that their new guests were definitely staying for dinner.

ooc: Adjikstan is a large desert country, and my forces havent advanced on the eastern part. [which is also where the ocean is]

At the underground GHQ in Chelyabinsk, satellite images of a fleet on the eastern shore of Adjikstan were on the large screen. A high ranking Officer examined them, thinking of his options. He went to confront the General about this.

"Comrade General, there is a foreign naval fleet off the coast of Adjikstan. Orders?"

"Increase our military forces to 600,000 in Adjikstan, have the rest of the military on secondary alert. We will wait for a message from the fleet, and if they're hostile, conduct a preliminary strike via aircraft. If they're already on land, strike with tactical missiles to destroy as much of their expeditionary force as possible. Their only way into our country is through Adjikstan, so it will act as a buffer zone."


shortly after, transport aircraft began to drop forces in Adjikstan, setting up defensive positions. The military then waited for a message from the fleet. Helicopters and fighter craft began mining operations along the defense line, which was decided to be a ridge that extended across the country. The munitions were a mix of AP and AT mines. By the end of the day, they would have over 9000 MBT's and Aircraft in Adjikstan.

OOC: Sucks for any Adjikstani in the area, oops, bad intel helluva way to start a war. :)

IC: "Sir we have increased activity of USSCP troops including deployments all over Adjikstan."
"Good, then send this message."

To the government of the USSCP,
This is the southern fleet of the Seirbhís Chabhlaigh na NFC (NTC navy). We are here to ensure the freedom of Adjikstan. We are here to accept your withdrawal from Adjikstan or to force you to do so. We have no intention of invading your homeland, unless this is regarded as necessary in order to subdue your armies in Adjikstan. I wish for no bloodshed and must inform you that any further violence will be a result of your decisions. The NFC cannot, therefore, be held responsible for any ensuing death and destruction it causes as it will only be RE-acting to aggression on the part of the USSCP. Again I urge you to stand down as we are very capable of dealing with any threat.

ooc: xD well the foam might have saved them..

"We got a message, I'm forwarding it to you."

The general replies:


TO: NTC Fleet


We have no intention of pulling out of Adjikstan. The nation has a history of supporting various terrorist activities region wide, and in our nation, most recently the last three conflicts. By invading, and replacing the unstable-ineffective government which is still currently in power, we will increase international security. We also believe there is no reason for this to turn into a conflict with your nation, which would surely be bad for both of our nations. Should your forces become hostile, however, we will retaliate accordingly.

The Company moved down a cave nearby as they gunned down each rebel they came across. It was like a massive maze full of tunnels but it was all largely compacted in which meant explosives were going to do the most damage so they left a tracking device behind in the cavens. The company retreated to the outside world as they hurried themselves to nearby peek where they could watch the fireworks display.

"Black Knights to Shiny Knightm requesting bomber support at these corridents," radio Hawkeye into the intercom.

"Copy that but it'll be guided to the tracking device," came a voice.

"Black Knights to allied forces, you better get some space between you and the mountain," suggested Hawkeye into the intercom.

"Squad, we are moving back, airstrike inbound!"

The squad of troops began to retreat, defending themselves from rebel forces. The PKM gunner kept a group of rebels pinned behind some rocks, while the rest of the squad kept moving. When he was reloading, the marksman began to pick off any rebel who poked his head up from behind the rocks.

"Merc squad, requesting info on minimum safe distance, over"

"Get as far as you can," replied Hawkeye.

Lavakhan took out the field glasses and watched as a Cyclonic Bomber was inbound.

"ETA of air strike, 15 minutes,"

To the government of the USSCP,
It seems then that we have some to an impasse. If neither is willing to make a move then I suggest that my troops be allowed to occupy the unconquered sectors of Adjikstan and that those in the conquered zones be allowed to relocate to the "free-sectors." This will allow for family and friends to reunite and give both of our nations a good name in the eyes of the locals. Thus, they will not foster terrorist tendencies.
As for our involvement in this conflict. We were founded on christian values and morals. Our democracy is therefore pure and flawless. We spit upon atheist communist dogs. Back in our old homeland we were allied with the Muslim brothers against the Puritans in the struggle for our freedom. We therefore demonstrate our many-fold reasons for joining in this conflict.

OOC: Are you going to address my statements USSCP, or should I move on like you are refusing to recognize them?

OOC: Are you going to address my statements USSCP, or should I move on like you are refusing to recognize them?

ooc: i was under the impression that that was a message to your people during an address. O.o




ic:

We will allow the creation of a DMZ, as to, like you said, allow families reunite.

The Cyclonic Bomber fired a missile designed to focus on the tracking signal and will find the nearest and fastest route to find the device. Lavakhan watched as the bomber pulled up as an explosion erupted inside the mountain.

"Less rebels to deal with," said Hawkeye.

The infantry squad ha jus barely made it from the blast. When the missile had hit, it caused tons of smoke to spew from the rebels secret tunnels, probably having hit an ammunition dump.


"Merc squad, target confirmed destroyed. out."

The squad retraced their steps back to the tunnels, taking magazines and ammunition belts off of dead rebels. Their task was now to clear the tunnels, once backup arrived.

"HQ, this is patrol-153, requesting backup. we are about to enter caves, I repeat, requesting back, we are about to enter caves, out."



"Copy patrol, ETA 12 minutes. out"

The Company moved into the tunnels as they came across burnt bodies but able to be identify. Hawkeye placed his PDA scanner over the body and scanned it for a moment.

"It's a positive sir, its a rebel leader one of the six we were after and the other is another rebel from the six we were sent to kill," reported Hawkeye to Lavakhan.

The Company took the two bodies and carried them outside where they found the USSCP Forces about to venture inside.

"We haven't got an indentifcation just yet but they are two of the six rebel leaders we were sent to find," stated Lavakhan as the rebel bodies were placed on the ground.

OOC: Oh what the hell...fine Crimea I'm game...sorry for the shitty post but its late as hell here.


IC:


The Crimean People were a predominately Tartar ruled society, but in fact many men of slavic descent had found themselves in the Crimean ancestry. Wanderjarians as well could trace themselves back to Prussia as well as Russia, and as such any slavic race were distant ethnic kin to them. To deny them support would be to deny the ethnic ties which they were bound to protect and honour.

Chancellor Tobias Kircher, Führer of the Wanderjarian people, saw not only this duty to the Crimean Republic, but also opportunity. He thumbed through the intelligence dossier compiled for him by his Schutzstaffel (SS) agents. The reports were scattered and difficult to comprehend as the situation itself was rather clouded by uncertainty, but to the best of their knowledge the Lynion Government had begun a series of invasions of neighboring nations. He smiled and beckoned for his secretary to allow him to dictate a personal memorandum for her to pass on to the Foreign Minister to forward to the leadership of the Crimean Republic.

"Frau Inga," he began, "Tell them, and quote: "Our comrades in the Crimean Republic. We would be honoured to assist you in this noble endeavour which you have been so inclined to request our assistance from. After assisting in the creation of your military, and the establishment of you as a nation, we feel it only fitting that we support you in any way which you find yourself needing. Make your incursion and secure an airstrip by which we may enter the region, and we shall send an Armee Korps to assist in this conflict.""

With that, Secretary Inga concluded the message, tore it from the type writer, and retreated to another room where it would be forwarded to the proper authorities. Prussian intervention would soon begin.

@ Chernobyl-Pripyat:
the government of the USSCP,
That this might satisfy your lust for land and power you area you occupy will be extended to two port cities. The forces of the NFC will retire to a small garrison, as their is no need for us to occupy the whole of the Free Sector. However, your strength will be increased to 100,000 and we will remain in that garrison until the conflict has been resolved.

OOC: Is there a map of your region?

@ Wanderjar:
Fellow Hanvenite,
We wish no quarrel with you, but we warn you that you are entering this conflict at odds with our position if you endeavor to aide the Lynioni. I hope that I have misinterpreted your motivations and involvement for I would hate to see this come between our good nations.

My friend, read the post. Half of it is detailing how we are, by way of similar ethnicity, obligated to help Crimean Republic kick the Lynioni out of the countries they're invading ;)

I'm on your side mate :D

Seven day’s had passed since the address by President Shanin, and so the time had come for action. The Privyatites had been warned of their impending fate, but had chosen to ignore the warnings, so now the time had come for the payment of their transgressions. It was just the way of the world, or at least the Crimean way.

The massive armada assembled in the grand port of Sevastopol, ready for the operation to begin. Not since the Rimneyv years had a fleet of this magnitude been sent out to sea, sent outside of the Crimean maritime borders, and not in recent memory had Crimea involved itself in a ground war on distant shores. Today would surely mark a new era in Crimean military history, the era of internationalism---and glory.

The fleet disembarked from their port flying the blue and white of Crimea, with streamers pluming from their nine inch guns and twelve inch hulls. Celebrations of the immenant fight were widespread throughout the nation, as Crimeans, Tartar, Turkish, Russain and Ukrainian alike all celebrated the beginning of a renewed prestige for Crimea, a renewed swagger that had been all but lost since the early days, but had been rediscovered by the great President Shanin and his Hegemony Party.

The Fleet consists of the following:

2 Carriers
12 Battleships
12 Battlecruisers
5 Air Defense Cruisers
10 Destroyers
10 Submarines
25 Armed Troop Carriers
50 Supply Barges (donated by Crimean merchants)
6 Armored Hospital Ships

IC:

Admiral Witte heard the transmission and a pang of self-doubt bubbled up in his stomach. It must have been last night's chili he thought as he mulled over how to respond to the transmission.

He looked at his subordinates, "Boys, lets get all men to battle stations and prepare for a fight, just to be on the safe side of things." His men stood in front of him for a moment, before snapping into action.

Pavel heard the alarms, and the call for all hands to report to their battle stations and prepare for possible hostilities, and peeked at the fellow in the bunk below him, "Shit mate, looks like all that training might actually be worth something afterall! Let's go!" He hopped down onto the floor and ran up to his station, a shell battery, in just his boxer shorts and a tee. He did not have time to put any clothes on, but that did not prevent one of his superiors from giving him a scowl as he walked by. What fun this would be, to be in a real live shootout, Pavel decided.

"NTC-South, this its the Grand Armada of the Republic. We hail from Crimea with the intentions of securing peace for the people of Adjikstan. If you wish to join us reply with an affirmitive."

"General, there is another fleet heading to the shores of Adjikstan. Definitely hostile, sails under the Crimean flag. Orders?"


"Order a Raven* to be loaded with conventional bunker busting munitions, and make sure it's on standby. I will send them a message."


To: Crimean fleet

We are giving you the chance to turn back now with no future consequences. The alternative is a long bloody war that will ensue, and the destruction of your fleet via heavy missile strike. Our actions in Adjikstan in no way affect you, so we urge you to think this through.


ooc: *our homemade MIRV missiles which can be loaded with anything which will fit

OOC: How can your nation, only a April nation, already have a NBC missile like a MIRV. Seems a little fishy but, meh.

IC: Admiral Witte looked at the transmission from the Privyat command. He picked up the radio transmittor and sent out a message to the Red commanders.

"Sir, I with all the respect that I give my fellow commander of war, shove it."

Witte knew that this would now mean a shooting war for certainty, so he warned his anti-air destroyers of an imminent threat on the fleet.

Sitting in the middle of this communications maelstrom the NTC's South Fleet and the 50,000 soldiers were racked up to full alert.

OPEN COMMUNIQUE
TO ALL FORCES OPERATING IN THE ADJIKSTAN AREA,
This is NTC South Fleet requesting all armed parties to not make any hasty moves. The eastern most part of Adjikstan has been secured by our forces and through an agreement with the USSCP a DMZ is becoming realized. If the Crimean fleet wishes to join us in MAINTAINING PEACE in eastern Adjikstan then they are welcome. We hope to avoid an open conflict and all of our anti-missile and anti-aircraft batteries are on full alert and will shoot down anything that crosses into eastern Adjikstan airspace. This is a general rule that will apply to both Crimea and the USSCP.

"The fleet replied; they don't intend to stand down. the NTC fleet is attempting to keep this from going hot."

"I see. Continue as planned. Everything on standby, make sure our forces in A-stan are ready should this go bad."

"The fleet replied; they don't intend to stand down. the NTC fleet is attempting to keep this from going hot."

OOC: Have you launched anything at me, or no?

ooc: no, the missile is on standby

OOC: hokey dokey, well then I will be back in a little while

Peace

As the anti-air defenses were turned on and began to warm up, all personnel both on the ground and water were called into high alert.

Secret Communique
Situation in Adjikstan tense
Request reinforcements:
450,000 Ground Forces

Peace

OOC: Haha, that could be taken in sooo many ways right now.

I am out for now too.

Back at home, another 250,000 soldiers were being prepped for deployment to Adjikstan. Instead of flying them in, they would be transported by convoys of trucks and APC's. Many of the BTR series APC's and BMP vehicles were being repainted for desert combat, instead of the usual OD-green/light brown most vehicles were painted.

The rest of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division were dropped at the DMZ, while another 5,000 soldiers would arrive by night fall.

ooc: i dont have a navy, landlocked, etc..

did you even read the thread before jumping in?

ooc: i dont have a navy, landlocked, etc..

did you even read the thread before jumping in?

OOC: I skimmed it lightly to get the gist of what was going on, I was asked to participate in a hurry so I jumped in before I forgot about it. Sorry I'll delete the post and alter it accordingly. I did think you were land locked, but in a prior post mention was made of targetting Crimeas fleet so I assumed it was some kind of ship, typically nations that are land locked strike agreements with other nations to host naval forces, so I assumed that was what was going down. :(

OOC: So, just to clear there was or was not an attack by Wanderjar? I am playing middleman here with standing orders to shoot anything out of the sky which ever side it comes from.

OOC: There is ocean access in Adjikstan correct??

IC: Rain poured down on the seas, and wind began to kick up whitecaps. Many men had hunkered down for the night, and many of the men had already gone inside, some of them to sleep, others to eat and play cards.

But on the deck of the R.N.S Scion, men moved about in furious fashion, making their final preparations before the departure of a fleet of fifteen F-22 Raptors, inbound for attacks upon the nearby USSCP fleet.

The F-22's would be the first wave if the attack, followed by a variety of other aircraft, mostly MiG's, and Su-47's, but the key to strike would be surprise, and what can better achieve such an effect than a grouping of stealthy fighters, the deadliest weapon in the the Crimean arsenal.

One by one, the fighters flew off towards their targets, in five fighter formations, ready to take on the world, or at lease a four-hundred million citizen nation.

ooc: Yeah, Adjikstan has access to an ocean, however I do not, ergo, i have no navy



ic:


Miles upon miles of trenches had thus far been dug along the Sadr ridge. There had also been radar trucks and AA systems brought in, just in case.

ooc: Yeah, Adjikstan has access to an ocean, however I do not, ergo, i have no navy

OOC: Ok, I'll just play it off like I meant to be attacking your soldiers or something. You have some aircraft right, are you railin' for a dogfight?

"This is BLack Hand to friendly choppers, we got two bandit leaders ready to be taken home," radio in Hawkeye on the intercom to USSCP Forces.

As the F-22's made their way for their impending meeting with the Pripyatian forces, a grouping of twenty-one drones, organized into seven formations of three, set out on a direct course for the Pripyatian lines, through a trick intended to reveal the locations of the Pripyatian anti-air batteries.

"Scramble interceptors, enemy craft inbound! Number at least 12. make sure S400 systems are tracking, and fire at will"

From a makeshift airfield near Kandahar, a group of 12 MiG-29 fighters and 8 MiG-31 Interceptors took off, flying at different altitudes. The highly mobile MiG-29's would fly at around 15k feet, and the MiG-31's at 23k, covering and spotting, since the powerful radar in the Foxhound combined with the ground radars created a cross section of which revealed stealth craft. The limitation, however was that it only worked if the stealth planes were in the area.

"All fighters keep track of your position. The NTC fleet will shoot down any craft that wander into the DMZ."

"Major, we have low flying craft inbound, shall we fire?"

"Openfire at will."

"Data suggests that they are UAV's. engage with flak and ZU-23-2 emplacements."

With that, the ground forces began to fire upon the UAV type targets that were getting closer by the second.

Aboard the bridge of the KMS Amerika, a Foxbury Class Assault Carrier, Admiral Klaus Richtof of the 3rd Kriegsmarine Flotilla paced anxiously. He was not nervous; he'd fought many operations infinitely more difficult than this one would be against foes which consisted of millions. No, he was not in the least bit nervous about this operation. He was merely excited.

The Command Crew was abuzz, scurrying about their posts and exchanging information critical to the continued operation of the vessel and battle group. Oberleutnant zer See Kristophe Blanch, Flotilla Operations Officer, stood before a Tactical Operations map showing a virtual layout map of the region they were inserting themselves into. He studied it carefully, eyes squinted and brow furrowed. Richtof approached him.

“What do you make of the situation, Oberleutnant?” he asked.

“It shall not be a problem. The enemy is heavily entrenched and bringing up reinforcements, but after a prolonged shelling and series of missile strikes against their positions they’ll certainly break. And if they don’t they can continue to be bombed, and shelled, and missile’d until our troops land and take the position from them. It isn’t especially complicated.” The Admiral smiled.

“Very good lad,” patting the Lieutenant on the shoulder. The Admiral returned to the helm and waited. The order was soon given. Numerous Blackburn Battle Fighters would launch momentarily, scanning for any enemy air units and downing them to defend the Blackburn Blackadder Maritime Strike Bombers, which would drop ordinance on the entrenched enemies. The fighter craft were also loaded with some Air-to-Surface weaponry to engage enemy radar units and anything which was deemed to potentially harm the bombers. Battlecruisers and Battleships opened fire with their main guns, precision striking the enemy trenches with heavy naval gunfire. They would commence the bombing and shelling of enemy positions for at least two days before landing troops to seize control of the beach head, and missiles would be launched by the Type 32 Guided Missile Cruisers. These warheads would be destined to engage enemy airfields, hampering their ability to launch cohesive air superiority operations, enemy logistical centers known by satellite location, and other such locales deemed appropriate.

Almost one hundred aircraft were launched from the [I]Gaff Spee[/I ]Unicorn Class Carrier, while the Amerika held its air composition in reserve. The enemy would be battered this day, all Prussian forces in the region knew it.

The enemy interceptors, ancient MiG 31 type aircraft, were of no match for the Wanderjarian Blackburns. From beyond visual range they targetted the enemy fighters and let loose their ordinance. The enemy would have little chance for survival even in the first wave, and those few who remain would certainly be killed in the second volley. The enemy air fleet would not survive the hour.

As the first of the fleets reached Pripyatian airspace after flying silently over Crossian controlled areas, the radar warning receivers began to alert them of radio emissions, emissions that could compromise their stealth.

Immediately, they moved to take out those dangerous enemies, for the good of the rest of the fleet, despite the risk to themselves.

One of the fighters located a radar station, and after gaining a lock on the target, fired a GBU-39 SDB at the target.

It looked like the confrontation just became hot, the pilot thought to himself.

The USSCP Chopper came down and picked up the dead rebel leaders as LAvakhan turned around to face the group.

"It seems this conflict has turned into an international war," shouted Lavakhan.

_____encrypted message to Chernobyl-Pripyat

If you wish, we can pull out naval, and ground forces currently located in the Juntastan feild of operations. We may be able to land behind the enemies current lines, and hit them from behind. If you would like for us to interevene,please respond, and we can be to you area of operations, in less than two days. Our forces also speacialize in desert, and terrorist warfare, so we may be able to teach your forces these techniques.

Kolitburo, Graith Dr'klow

"SHIT!, we just lost a radar station! HQ, we have confirmation of hostile targets, aircraft, possible stealth, our S400 systems are having some trouble getting a solid lock."

"Copy, all forces are on wartime alert. Corporal, radio the missile base to fire the Raven."


"Missile command, you have green light to fire Raven at the Crimean fleet. Target The following targets; Carriers, the larger battleships, priority target transport ships, target supply ships. out."


While a group of fighters sped over to the area where they lost a radar, In the northern mountains of Chernobyl-Pripyat a large sized missile fired into the sky, reaching high atmosphere. The warhead broke apart, and 15 semi-guided munitions fell back to earth repositioning themselves. When they were repositioned, they proppeled themselves towards the targeted ships. All of the munitions were heavy conventional explosives of the bunker busting variety.


One of the fighters got close to a enemy fighter and fired a short burst from it's GSH-30 cannon.


ooc: out for now, time for breakfast

Ricthof smiled at the reports of the large missiles speeding towards their positions. He glanced down at the floor, and gave a slight nod.

"So," He thought aloud, "They want to play that way. Have the Mogamis take care of those missiles and then lets really put the hurt on them. Switch ordinance on the next run, use White Phosporhous bombs." As they spoke the Mogamis activated their advanced anti-missile defense systems and targetted the enemy ordinance, blasting them easily out of the sky. Meanwhile, the Blackadder strike bombers dropped tons of heavy ordiance bombs onto the enemy trench lines, exploding brilliantly against the ridgeline. Upon their return home, they would refit with the WP bombs, which would unleash a cloud of white hot gas, literally melting the USSCP soldiers where they stood, and unleash this horror upon them. The sad attempt at utilising strategic missiles against the Prussian forces would be greatly punished.

"Sir, they ignored our threats we have action all over the theater. Inbound and outbound aircraft and a missile in flight."
"Ignorant fools! If they want war then let them play their game. I want security run all along the beaches and the DMZ no one gets onto Eastern Adjikstan soil. Tell Wanderjar and Crimea that if they want to fight the USSCP they will have to use air channels. We must deny Eastern Adjikstan to everyone. These people didn't ask for this war!"

Hawkeye turned to Lavakhan, Ion and Harris as he tapped into the radio frequencies.

"You do realise we are now behind enemy lines?" asked Hawkeye as he loaded his sniper rifle.

"Then we'll have to take pictures of the dead rebels and send via satelite link," stated Lavakhan. "It's nothing to worry about Hawkeye,"

"Who said I was worried?" smiled Hawkeye as they looked across the mountains. "So many rebels so little time,"

"Sir, they ignored our threats we have action all over the theater. Inbound and outbound aircraft and a missile in flight."

***OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE WANDERJARIAN GOVERNMENT***


Ah, but the people do need this conflict. The enemy is there, and we shall drive them from the region and into the hearth of their own borders. No Adjikistani shall suffer under the tyranny of USSCP Oppression!

~Chancellor Tobias Kircher, National Socialist Wanderjarian Workers Party

"Missile base, reload, we will call another strike when ready."

Reloading the launcher in the mountain took quite a bit of time, and this was before the warhead was loaded. That was it's biggest handicap, next to the mountain's vulnerability.

At the ridge, infantry were limited to taking cover. S400 systems were constantly firing missiles once they were reloaded, and MiG-31's chasing the large bombers which had appeared in theater, although not from the Crimean fleet.

"What's the status on the missile?"

"It has reached altitude.. dispersing.. it's locked onto it's targets. Impact in five minutes."

"Missile base, reload, we will call another strike when ready."

As the F-22's continued their methodical work of destroying the radar stations one by one, dropping SDB's as soon as they could reach locks upon their targets, the second wave of the attack began, as twenty Su-34's, fitted with payloads of napalm, and accompanied by fifteen Su-47's made their way off toward the battlegrounds, in order to wreck havoc on the unsuspecting ground forces.

Several MiG-29's began to target the Su-34's, firing their R77's when in range. A reinforcement flight of Su-27's began to engage the Su-47's, often taking them two-on-one.

Since there was little for the surviving infantry to do, they began pulling back to a second line. as they were helpless against these air strikes, it was their only choice. The last surviving S400 unit fired it's missiles at an F22, hitting due to the direction it was flying. Seconds later, the launcher was hit by a missile and exploded.

As a column formation of Su-27's began to zoom in behind Xavier's wing-man Vlad, the front man utilized his flight vectoring feature to send his nimble craft into a loop that would tear any lesser aircraft apart, landing right behind the two enemies. But his maneuver was still not quick enough, for as soon as he reached clicked the trigger to his machine gun he saw Vlad's craft spiraling downward, to the ground to death.

"Red 3, Aircraft at your six, evade!'

The Su-27 began flying erratically, but had sustained hits to the engines.

"This is Red 3, engines failing, bailing out now"

"Dammit, we lost Red 7. 3 has bailed. All RED engage stealth fighters."


A squadron of the Kolgujev Air Detachment Yak-141 craft began to engage the Su-34's alongside the USSCP MiG's.



The "Raven" missile was just seconds from impact on the Crimean fleet, although one of the munitions would be a dud.

OOC: Hey USSCP mate, I engaged your missiles with my Mogami Air Defense Cruisers a couple posts back. Just pointing it out. :)

Lavakhan tuned the radio to maxium and managed to setup a transmission with USSCP Forces.

"Black Knights to Friendly's, what's the current situation?" asked Lavakhan.

The Admiral smiled. Reports from their bomber wings indicated that the enemy forces were pulling back to secondary trenchlines, and thus were soon to be the near breaking point. Though the shelling and bombings had only been occuring for nearly an hour. He beckoned for his Chief Weapons Officer to alter the firing solutions to compensate for the USSCP pull back. He acknowledged with a haughty "Aye!" and saluted by raising his arm, which was retured by the Admiral.

As the dozens of ships continued firing their shells at the enemy trenches, fighter craft continued hunting their techologically inferior foes MiGs. The MiG-31, while a great aircraft, was no match for the pride of the Prussian Kriegsmarine, the Blackburn F1. It was faster, more manuverable, and had more modern flight control, weapons guidance, and sensor systems in every respect. They also suffered from being inexperianced when compared against the Prussian Luft-Marine pilots. Having fought in innumerable conflicts prior, these Wanderjarians were battle hardened to beyond any USSCP man could boast. The MiG pilots, for all their courage, stood not a chance against their Prussian adversaries.

The Gruppes, consisting of forty eight aircraft each, divided up into their twelve man Schwarm teams and began positioning themselves to engage the USSCP aircraft. Having cleared many from Beyond Visual Range using BVR ATA Missiles, the remaining pilots would be defeated using dog fighting manuverse. While this was unusual, considering that many engagements that Wanderjarian pilots found themselves in ended from beyond visual range with the utter annihilation of their foes, they felt confident that they could defeat their adversaries in a dog fight.

"This Gruppe Bolt-6," the Group Leader said, positioning his F-1 to engage a MiG, "Schwarm-1 is to engage the enemy from the left. Swing in and hit them from their flank and Schwarm-2 will hit from the right. Lets use a pincer movement to tighten these fellows in. Schwarm-3, led by myself, will hit them head on. Lets execute comrades!" And with that each of the Twelve man Schwarm teams mobilised to execute their orders. Schwarm-4, consisting of Maritime Strike Bombers, waited behind for the enemy fighter craft to be cleared. Having been loaded up with the White Phosporous ordinance, they were ready to deploy their respective bomb loads onto the enemy trenchlines. The great clouds of white hot death would consume anything and all whom were caught within its extent, and would continue to smolder as the sticky gelatonous residue that was formed attached itself to firing steps, bunkers, and corpses. The heat produced would exceed five thousand degrees, and quite literally melt anything it touched, and cause fires to spread throughout the lines. It was not only effective, but horrifying and demoralising for the enemy it was deployed against. This is precisely why it was a favourite of the Wanderjarian military.

Meanwhile, in the Tactical Operations Center of the KMS Amerika, Generalmajor Hans Ludendorf of the Wanderjarian Marine Sturm Division was planning the invasion. His Division, some thirty thousand men strong, consisted of five Regiments, each containing six thousand men. Two infantry Regiments, an Artillery Battery, two Panzer Regiments (100x Panzerkampfwagon XIs, 120x LY219 "Ironheart" (IFV/Command/etc) each), and a Support Regiment. These would make landfall under the cover of their fighter wings, providing close air support. The Panzer Regiments would advance first, followed by the infantry utilising their LY219 "Ironheart" IFVs and APCs to protect the exposed infantry. From there, they would engage the surviving enemy, if any, and advance into the surrounding countryside to secure any coastal towns or villages for use as a beach head command center for the respective Regimental HQs. From there, the Heer (Army) troops would be deployed, of which there was one Korps, and these would extend themselves to secure the rest of the region from the USSCP forces control. That was, loosely, the battle plan at this point. However until the landing was made and the enemy's willingness to fight made certain, nothing could be ascertained save speculation. The Wanderjarian Commanders were not stupid. They had each served in many wars and commanded men in numerous theaters of operation, and as such were far too experianced to believe that they could simply achieve victory by walking onto the stage and flashing their impressive Honour Roll. This mindset was exemplified by the rememberance of the tragic defeat at Beiraq, hammering that point to many of the Marines who would be landing within the next few hours.

The compiled dossier was given to all junior officers and NCOs, who gave individual talks to their respective units as was customary before going into battle. Soon enough the pride of the Wehrmacht, das Heeres, would be landing and show once again Prussian superiority in land warfare.

OOC: My man, would it be possible to give me a map of the area I'll be landing at? It'll make the RP infinitely more fun, interesting, and smooth. :)

OOC: I control the area you "will be landing at" and it is a no-go zone for both sides. My men have orders to engage anyone in Eastern Adjikstan. You will have to fly them over if you want to invade. Its all in the short post I made 11 or 12 posts ago.

OOC: My friend, I realise that you've stated your case, and now I'm going to state mine. Prussian and Crimean forces will be landing and engaging USSCP troops Adjikistan, and drive them out. I'm fully aware that this is your zone and I need you to understand that this only makes it easier for me to land. My men won't engage yours, won't harm civllians as Prussians are the epitome of discipline and not war criminals, and are simply there to drive the USSCP out, and then engage them into their own borders. The Prussians will not cease plans to land though.

"We've been forced to fall back to the second line. They are more then likely to land on the shore, and will be forced to engage NTC forces. When they reach the DMZ, we can use tactical missiles to decimate their troop concentrations after they pass the mine fields. Our Raven missile was shot down before it could do any damage, so the next one will have decoy/jammer munitions, although it will cut the explosives down to 12. Through this, we should be able to hit their ships. Our armor devisions for the time being are camouflaged to prevent a counter attack with missiles."


The second defense point was closer the the Adjikstani capital, so it was within range of their main radar eliminating the need for radar trucks. This would allow the S400 to engage at full tracking capacity.

Lavakhan tuned the radio to maxium and managed to setup a transmission with USSCP Forces.

"Black Knights to Friendly's, what's the current situation?" asked Lavakhan.

"The war has gone hot, and we advise you to evacuate."

"Sir we have inbound hostile friendlies. They will not engage us, please advise."
"Damn it! We will appear weak if we let them pass, but it would be worse to engage them. Our agent in Aquetio says he confirmed an order for anti-tank munitions from the USSCP so they are clearly gearing up for the on-coming war. When they land we turn to join them."

OOC: Wanderjar and Crimea you are not privy to this discussion, so your men still think that my previous orders to attack are still in place.

OOC: I know that both Wanderjar and myself are busy today, I think that Wanderjar will be back sometime today, but I know certainly won't be back until later on tonight, so I propose a pause on this bad boy for today agreed?

OOC: I know that both Wanderjar and myself are busy today, I think that Wanderjar will be back sometime today, but I know certainly won't be back until later on tonight, so I propose a pause on this bad boy for today agreed?

yep, paused. I have to go to relatives today anyway.

"Red 3, Aircraft at your six, evade!'

The Su-27 began flying erratically, but had sustained hits to the engines.

"This is Red 3, engines failing, bailing out now"

"Dammit, we lost Red 7. 3 has bailed. All RED engage stealth fighters."


A squadron of the Kolgujev Air Detachment Yak-141 craft began to engage the Su-34's alongside the USSCP MiG's.


As more and more hostile fighters flew into the theatre of operations, the F-22's were forced to abandon their operations against USSCP radar and communication stations, just to help cover the Su-34's with their napalm payloads.

The three squadrons flew to within range of the dogfight, firing volley after volley of AIM-120 air-to-air missiles into the fray, in hopes of suppressing the Pripyatians long enough for the Su-34's to release their napalm payloads.

Meanwhile in the dogfight, Su-47's assembled into two man "killer" columns, zipping and zooming erratically in order to draw the attention of the fighters from the -34's as they rapidly approached the USSCP positions and dropped their payloads.

yep, paused. I have to go to relatives today anyway.

I just got that one in to get it on up, don't feel inclined to respond unless you have enough time.

"Red 12, you have two Berkuts on your tail, evade."

"12 is hit!"

"I have a lock on one of the Berkuts, firing now!"


The group of MiGs that followed the German sounding group had lost lots of planes, and now engaged their fighters.

"Stalker 3, evade. Damn, we lost 7!"

"This is 4, target locked, firing R77!"

The missile screamed through the air, barely hitting the target but managed to damage the plane.

"4, your trailing smoke"

4 had been strafed by cannon fire prior to firing the missile.







Another Raven missile was bieng prepped for launch, with decoy-jammer munitions mixed in to protect it from defense systems. It's targets now were the Crimean fleets troop transports and a single carrier.

"This is missile command, Raven is loaded and ready, waiting for orders."

"This is HQ, fire when ready"


The missile began it's launch sequence, and would take off in five minutes, and hitting it's targets in 7.

The group of MiGs that followed the German sounding group had lost lots of planes, and now engaged their fighters.

OOC: You are engaging Wanderjar's boys correct? Also, is that map of Adjikstan or of the USSCP

IC:

A two man tandem of Su-47's saw the plight of their Wanderjarian allies, as the majority of the USSCP fighters seemed to be focusing on them while the Su-34's left for their carriers after they dropped their napalm payload. They were high above the heat of the battle but soon the two man kill squad initiated a screaming dive into the fight. The frontman set his sights on a lone MiG, and gained a lock for his AIM-120 missiles, firing as soon as he could click the trigger.

Only ten of the Su-47's stayed behind in the fight, as the rest quickly fled while protecting their bombing companions.

"Gentlement," Admiral Richtof stated affirmatively, never taking his harsh gaze from the view presented by his Command Bridge of the air battle being waged about them. Mogami Air Defense Cruisers, interspersing fire between the various Raven Missiles which were being haphazardly thrown at them and the enemy aircraft buzzing about. So far the Wanderjarians had reported five pilots downed, all fighters, as of yet no bomber casualties. This was unacceptable in his mind and he was certain that Kapitan zer See Studstill, Kommandant der Luftmarine of the battle-group, would be very harsh in his review of each pilot for his sloppiness. The long pause in between him opening his mouth and finishing his statement was filled with more than just a sigh. He contemplatively concluded, "By chance do we have the source of those pesky missiles?" The Radar Operator nodded confirmingly.

"Jawohl herr Admiral," He showed the Admiral the position on the tactical map from where it was coming. Each time a missile was fired, its position was being tracked by Wanderjarian sattelites, relaying this information back to the Amerika, and allowing them exact confirmation of the locale of the silo. It would soon be obliterated.

"Excellent Leutnant," The Admiral smiled. "Tactical Officer, have them taken care of." With a "Jawohl", the man hurried off to do just that. Within moments, numerous Guided Missile Destroyers and Submarines launched salvo after salvo of ship-borne cruisemissiles homing in on exactly those positions. The silos, once eliminated, would be the last credible threat to the Wanderjarian and Crimean mission and would enable the Coalition troops to land safely and securely upon the beaches of Adjikistan. The NTC Forces would certainly pitch a fit, and the Government would raise a serious cry, but the Wanderjarian troops had no interest in that region save kicking the USSCP troops out, and then on to the real prize: the USSCP itself.

Meanwhile, in the transport ships all soldiers were making final preparations before going ashore. Though many were veterans of conflicts, some were still recently conscripted and fresh from infantry basic. These men clung to veteran corporals and privates like babes at a mothers breast, and sought their advice and promise of safe return. However, even the most experiance soldiers in the landing force felt the same twinge of fear they felt before every war. Fear: It never went away. And so they prepped for combat. Cleaning rifles, writing letters then re-writing them. Reading the bible, Qu'ran, Torah. Some prayed to some ominpotent being which they in normal times scoffed the very existence of. Others sat alone, simply thinking. Every man had his own way of preparing himself for what was to come, and each ritual was held sacred by their comrades in arms. It was something everyone underwent and performed.

Soon enough, they'd be going to war.

"It seems to be a full out war has being declared," started Lavakhan as he turned to the group. "We're stuck behind enemy lines and our chances of being picked up by friendlies is like destorying sand with an umbralla. What'll we'll do is head for the coast and call for a Lynion warship to pick us up and get home,"

"So that'll mean we'll have to go here," stated Hawkeye as he pointed to a harbour on the map. "We haven't heard any activity there so we might be lucky and call for the navy,"

The others argeed with him as Lavakhan lock and loaded his assault rifle.

"Alright, it seems we'll be going bush until we get to the harbour. Radio USSCP and tell them we're evacuating mainly because we're deep behind enemy lines and we can't be saved," ordered Lavakhan to Harris.

Harris opened the frequencies and tried his best to find a signal to contact the USSCP Forces. He tried all frequencies only to get nothing from them.

"Jamming signals sir," replied Harris.

Lavakhan took the lead as he led the men through bush and they started for the harbour on the map and prayed they could still get out in time.

"GHQ, this is Missile Base, we are now unable to fire new missiles for the time being. enemy cruise missiles have hit the mountain, and theres debris in the launch channel."

"Understood. Did he last missile make it out?"

"affirmative, it should strike the fleet momentarily."


At a base near the border, attack helicopters were being modified to be capable of firing the new missiles the military had recently purchased. These missiles were of the fire-and-forget variety, and had better penetration then the AT-6 launchers on the Hinds.

The company came close to the harbour as finally they were free from the jamming signal. Hawkeye looked around and was surprised not to see any warships let alone any kind of ship passing by.

"Bugger," started Lavakhan. "Hawk, see if you can patch into the Lynion holographic waves and find any type of warship or transport ship, we need to get out of here,"

"This is the Black Knights to any friendly units," started Hawkeye. "We are requesting ASAP evac! I repeat! We are requesting ASAP evac!"

Hawkeye repeated the message as the Company sat down and waited for someone to answer their call.

"This is Captain Amos of the Imperial Aerial Cruiser Atlantis, we need corridents in order to find you," came a reply over the intercom.

Lavakhan turned around as he watched the mountains while Hawkeye gave the Atlantis their position. Harris kneed behind Hawkeye as he scanned the plains for any activity.

"Copy that Black Knights. ETA will be four hours, hang tight!" finished the voice as the intercom went silent.

"Bravo team saddle up. We have an unauthorized signal coming from twelve klicks north on the coastline. Crimeans or Wanderjarians are probably try to skirt our defenses." The fire team got into the LY219 IFV and started toward where the signal had been detected. When they were one klick out they disembarked and had the crew take the IFV in from the inland flank.

"GHQ, this is Missile Base, we are now unable to fire new missiles for the time being. enemy cruise missiles have hit the mountain, and theres debris in the launch channel."

Immediately, the Crimean destroyers picked up the signature of the incoming Raven.

"Another one, really?" A sailor asked.

"Yeah, I guess it would only be right of us to take it out, after all, we can't let the Wanderjarians have all the fun."

Alright, lets engage it then.

From the five GMD's flew massive volleys of ABM Surface-To-Air Missiles.

They began seek out their targets like hounds hunting down foxes, and the foxes never stood a chance.

OOC: USSCP, you never posted anything about my napalm attack by my Su-34's

"Copy that Black Knights. ETA will be four hours, hang tight!" finished the voice as the intercom went silent.

A voice came over the radio, a voice unfamiliar to the Black Knights.

"Black Knights, this is your new best friend."

"Commander, the missile was destroyed before it could do any damage."

"Understood, we'll have to wait to use it once they get on land, long with other missiles."

The Raven wasn't a naval type missile to begin with. When loaded with it's original munitions, it was capable of leveling cities, or obliterating tank legions.

The military was waiting for the enemy forces to land on the shore and reach the DMZ. Once the ground war began several Air Force Guards squadrons would be deployed the engage enemy aircraft. The enemy would not breach the USSCP border.

The napalm attack the Crimean forces had done had caused minimal casualties; most of the trenches were evacuated prior to that, and the only ones who remained were ZU-23-2 operators, and support soldiers.

The sun rose over the Adjikstan sea.

"Looks like it is going to be another beautiful day at war."

"Yes sir, that it will, ready to wake up the Pripyats?"

"Yes sirree." With that the two began to shell the USSCP defenses with cruise missiles and various rockets, all of the Crimean planes were back on the carriers, so today seemed like it would be a chilling day, a day for the calming of nerves, for both sides. Perhaps a few shorties would be flow, just bombing runs upon radarstations and airfields, but any sort of major action, at least on the Crimean side would be doubtful.

"You're not our bestfriend," replied Hawkeye as a Blackhawk landed nearby. "What do you want?"

The Company boarded the Blackhawk as they started to ascend towards the Atlantis. They landed swiftly as the aerial cruiser started to rise above the clouds for better protection.

"You're not our bestfriend," replied Hawkeye as a Blackhawk landed nearby. "What do you want?"

"To share with you a cup of coffee."

ooc: Wanderjar, I looked up your tanks that you have in one of the ships, aren't they a little obsolete by now? I'm pretty sure a WWII tank wouldn't stand a fighting chance against a T-80U.. Unless google has lied, and your tank is something NS tech, of which it would be a balanced fight

"What do you really want?" asked Hawkeye to the unidentify voice.

ooc: Ahh ok, got it xD



ic:

Several T-90 tanks were being retrofitted with 125mm ETC guns; reverse engineered from the gun from the LY4A1, which the military had a small number of. Many second line tanks were now being fitted with Kontakt-5 ERA and slat armor, since they usually didn't have these things. The Civil Guard was also restarted. The group is essentially a type of national defense group, activated when the military is in high alert. They were armed by the Army, given full access to the reserve armories. They even had a number of APC's, although most of their vehicles consisted of improvised armored ZIL trucks, Toyota pick-ups with Kord machine guns fitted on them, and even bulldozers that had substantial armor added on.

ooc: @ Lynion you had a four hour waiting period for that chopper, I sent men in, they would have arrived in matter of minutes to your position, I am sure you just missed it, no worries, but you couldn't have eluded my men.

"Bravo team saddle up. We have an unauthorized signal coming from twelve klicks north on the coastline. Crimeans or Wanderjarians are probably try to skirt our defenses." The fire team got into the LY219 IFV and started toward where the signal had been detected. When they were one klick out they disembarked and had the crew take the IFV in from the inland flank.

"What do you really want?" asked Hawkeye to the unidentify voice.

"To out bid the Commies for your services," the unidentified voice replied, "I want you to come work for the winning team. If you choose not to, I would just like to remind you of the firepower that is my navy."

OOC: Sorry, I must've missed that post.

IC:

"What kind of deal?" asked Hawkeye who was trying to stall just to give the Atlantis a bit more time to move out to sea above the clouds. "You're going have to convice us better than a threat,"

Lavakhan looked behind him on the command deck as the Atlantis moved amongest the clouds in the sky.

From over the dune three massive black soldiers, wearing the desert camouflage and body armor of the Arma na NFC, wielding their weapons menacingly, appeared. "Halt, you are in territory occupied by the armed forces of the NFC. Identify and state your purpose." As he spoke a helicopter descended towards them. He whispered inaudibly into his mic. Over a dune to their left an IFV came flying, cresting the ridgeline and getting a few miliseconds of airtime before slamming on the ground. The gun of the IFV was trained at the chopper. "Identify now!" The lead soldier screamed as they closed in on the mercenaries. Their weapons were held at half-ready (45 degrees but still down to the ground), their fingers off the trigger but the safety was disengaged.

OOC: If that's aimed at me, then its pointless because the Blackhawk has already escaped.

At Murska AB things were going the usual; various reports going through General Zhukov's office, Civil aircraft taking off and landing, baggage cars and military trucks zipping around. A messenger arrived at Zhukov's office.

"Comrade General, we have received a message from your hired hands. They were able to kill and ID two of the rebel leaders we wanted."

"Understood. Reply that I will wire the funds I promised for the two momentarily. Oh, and contact them again, I want them to do some wet work for me.. and bring me some coffee, please."

"Why don't we use our nations own PMC company?"

"They aren't trained in the kinds of thing I want done. Tell the Black Hand that theres a substantial amount of money they can get from this.."

"Hello," smiled the captain of the Atlantis. "It seems you fell into our hot little hands,"

The Black Hand Company was suddenly surrounded by Imperial Guardian's and Lynion Hunter's. Lavakhan looked around hoping it was some kind of joke that the captain had pulled. The cruiser went below a cloud as Hawkeye aimed his rifle at the captain.

"What's the chargers skipper?" asked Lavakhan.

"You were unauthorised to have come to the aid of USSCP Forces however, because you crack open the rebellion leadership, death won't be granted," replied captain as the Hunter's aimed their assault rifles at the Company.

"We'll go easy skipper," replied Lavakhan. "Lay down your arms boys,"

The other three hesitated as they eventually laid down their arms and were handcuffed by the Hunter's as the captain looked at Lavakhan.

"So whose on the other end of the radio?" asked the captain as the radio was taken off Harris' back.

"USSCP Commander by the sounds of it," replied Lavakhan as he was handcuffed.

The Company was taken into the holding cells below the engines as the captain took the radio controls.

"Hello," he started. "This is Captain Mitchell of the Imperial Aerial Cruiser Atlantis, if you're looking for the Black Hand Company, then you're too late. As of two seconds ago, they've being charged as rouge Lynion's and will be sent home to stand a Court Martial. To who are you?"

"This is General Zhukov of the USSCP Armed Forces. I was looking to have them employed more, but i see this is not a possibility anymore. I don't suppose theres a way I could get you to change your mind.."

"Hello," smiled the captain of the Atlantis. "It seems you fell into our hot little hands,"

"Just a concerned citizen."

"Charged with treason as well? I doubt I can even let them live to see tomorrow let alone letting them go free," replied the captain. "Don't try a bribe because they doesn't work either,"

OCC: Sorry if this comes across as bitchy but I have other choice. Since Lynion god-modded a stunning escape I have nothing to do until Crimea/Wanderjar land or USSCP crosses the DMZ, so this is a temp sign off until one of the two of those things happen.

"Hmm. Well in that case, I have nothing else to say."

The radio goes silent.




Many cities in Chernobyl-Pripyat were being converted into fortresses, and construction crews were just about finished clearing the Raven missile tunnels. Soon, they would be able to launch missiles whenever necessary.

In the mountains of central Adjikstan a Kolgujev Mercenary company was hired by the USSCP, and armed by the USSK government to do some wet work. They were mostly armed with AKM's, and were dressed for the most part in civilian clothing. Their operations consisted of kidnapping known rebels, and killing them. They had now engaged in full combat with militants from a small town inside the NTC part of the DMZ. The group had tracked them for days through the mountains, leading here. The battle lasted several hours, and resulted in a victory by the Mercs, who had suffered many casualties. Much of the town was burning as a result of the fighting, and a cloud of black smoke could be seen for miles.

@ Kolgujevska

"Delta Gamma 14 this Alpha Alpha we have confirmed armed conflict just east of the DMZ, repeat armed conflict in inside the your AO. Proceed immediately to coordinates 1383*N 9430*W. This is a TW Op, no prisoners, repeat TW Op." A rover squad began to suit up. They packed lightly, bringing only a days worth of rations and ammo...plenty of ammo. "Right boys, you heard the man this is TW, rack em' and stack, I want bodies in the dirt by the end of the evening. No prisoners, no questions, no hesitations. If it moves shoot it. The eleven man squad filed into the 4 M256-08 Rangers (http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/iancostello/M256-08Ranger.gif). The three front vehicles were equipped with .50 caliber machine guns. They traveled in a delta formation with the fourth command vehicle in the core. Their hybrid engines made them nearly silent. They approached the village along the road to the southeast. When they were two klicks out they pulled off the road and split into their four groups. The two man teams carried one LMW-3SR.png (http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/iancostello/LMW-3SR.png), one LMW-3AC (http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/iancostello/LMW-3AC.png), and two LMW-SA1s (http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/iancostello/LMW-SA1opentoggle-2.png). They were most effective in the woodlands, but they also proved deadly in the small villages of the Adjikstani desert. They were astute at discerning an ambush and could detect an approach at 150 yards.

OOC:They are the modern equivalent of the Native American scout, good at tracking, woodland survival, endurance activities, remaining silent and still for hours, capable of astute cunning and absolute barbarism. And yes scalping is a trademark of rovers.

OOC: I have been told by Wanderjar to request a pause of major hostilies until he has time to get back into the game, or at the very least a promise to not attack his ships or soldiers in any shape or form until he returns.

IC: The F-22 and Su-47 pilots groaned as they heard of they're assignments.

"Not again, haven't we already destroyed enough of their fucking supply lines, when can we attack some cities, lets make those Red bastards burn!" moaned Pavel Petrovic as he heard of yet another raid upon the USSCP rear positions.

"Petrovic, shape up soldier, these missions now are what is going to keep our men alive when we put them on the ground. Now unless you have any real complaints, you all need to get into your planes and head out to kick some ass."

With that the pilots departed to get into their stealthy machines, ready for a battle that would take them into the skies on the border of Adjikstan and the USSCP, to knock out supply lines and help initiate the starvation of the USSCP army.

The formation of 25 F-22s, and 30 Su-47's flew overhead, streaking tirelessly towards their targets from high altitudes, in order to resist radar detection even better than they could with their stealthy designs alone.

"Commander, we have accounted for all rebels dead. Orders?"

"Are the fires out? What about their utilities?"

"Fires are out, Petran, Sashka and some locals are repairing the power station. The rebels hit it pretty hard, they must like living in the dark ages."

"Hah. That typical of extremists. Local police operational?"

"We got them out of the jail cells. they're restoring order to the town. Apparently the rebels had a torture chamber in the basement of the Police Station."

"Couldn't it possible be USSCP forces?"

"No, they haven't touched this area, save for mining that mountain pass."


The mercs continued to assist the town folks in repairing utilities, like the water pump, power station. Giving the local police the arms of their fallen comrades, along with the guns from the dead rebels, the Police would patrol the parameter of the town. They were instructed by the Village Leader to shoot anyone that was armed, or that looked suspicious. The mercs would back them up when needed.



[occ: >.< Why did you drag Wanderjar into this? At this rate, we might get a ground battle going on by December..]

"High altitude targets, heading toward our border"


Several MiG-31, Su-37, a pair of F-22N and an AWACS took off from Murska AB, and began to head toward the area detected by the Adjikstani ground radar. When the AWACS clicked its radar on, at 40,000 feet, they could now see the stealth fighters. The MiG-31's fired their R77 missiles when they had a AWACS assisted lock. The F22N flew around to flank the Su-47 at full speed

"High altitude targets, heading toward our border"


OOC: How the hell can you see my stealth, besides, I have knocked out most of your radar stations on the NTC border if I remember correctly.

ooc: Radar Trucks were at the DMZ. And if your heading towards my border, no only would the Adjikstani radar have picked ou up, but the ones in my country would have.

@ Kolgujevska
"Foxtrot Sixer, this is Foxtrot One. We have one company of organized armed combatants and roaming groups of armed locals."
"Copy One, this is Foxtrot Sixer to all Foxtrots, Teams One, Three, and Five use silence and move into the outskirts, tag em' and bag em'.Teams Two and Four provide sniper coverage." Three teams moved in to start securing outlying buildings. The other two teams and the squad leader remained in the dunes to provide sniper fire where needed. The snipers watched the teams systematically kill the police patrols and then drag the bodies into secured buildings. What little blood there was, was covered over with sand. Soon the teams had secured four buildings on the south side of the village, and killed three patrols worth of police men. A group of officers climbed up onto the roof of a nearby building. "Foxtrot Three, you have four armed locals at your 10, rooftop, second building down." But it was to late. One of the officers saw as the desert seemingly came alive and began dragging one of his dead comrades towards a building across the street. "Hey! Get em'." he yelled as his fellow officers came over to investigate what he had seen. Soon they were shooting willy-nilly in the direction of the first sighting. Three of them dropped to the floor they had been sniped. The sounds from their sucking chest wounds was enough for the fourth to dive for cover. One of the soldiers from Foxtrot three threw a white phosphorus grenade onto the roof and soon the fourth officer was writhing in agony as his flesh melted off the bone. Where the grenade had exploded had melted through the floor and the phosphorus was dripping down into the building below. A pillar of smoke began to rise and soon flames were leaping up from hole in the roof.

"Some ones attacking the village, orders?"

"Take defensive positions, rally the remaining police and have them flank them. Sashka and Mija, get on the roof and cover the street."

The pair went up the hospital stairs, and took a good shooting position just under the roof. The Police were helpless against their enemies; they couldn't coordinate their worth, and were bad marksman.

"Sashka, muzzle flash on that dune over there, wait for a sec."

Another cop gets cut down.

"I got him."

He fired his SVU at the target, and then repositioned himself on a different floor.

The commander saw one of the targets in the town and fired a burst from his P90 at it, then taking cover. The local firefighters were attempting to put out the burning building with little success.

OOC: Did some research on the SVU and all I got for effective range was a referral to the SVD. Taking the accuracy at "up to 800m" I would have to say that you missed. My guys are storming the south side of the village, where your men don't seem to be. When my snipers took their shots lets say they were 800m out. Then add to that the distance between where the police where gunned down and the hospital. I will grant your sharp shooter a near miss. If you want to discuss this further TG me.

IC: The bullet zipped into the sand in front of Foxtrot Two. "Foxtrot Two re-locating to Hotel 3. Did anyone see the shooter?" They slide down the backside of the dune and moved to their next location. "Negative Two. Foxtrots One, Three and Five you have armed locals moving left to flank you. Foxtrot Two and Four I want you to find that sniper. Do not fire until you see one, repeat hold your fire until you have identified a sniper. Start with that hospital it is the tallest building in town."
"Roger." The three teams moved into an echelon left and maneuvered behind an low stone wall and one team into a building on the opposite side of the street. A loose column of police officers moved cautiously down the street. When they reached the ambush they were ruthlessly gunned down. One of the rovers was injured badly in the firefight. "Foxtrot Sixer this is Five, O'Hanlen is hit we need evac now!"
"Negative Five, I have radioed for backup. Get your masks and goggles ready, they are sending in a group of Xray Zulu drones, and an armored troop."
"Six, we need out now."
"Five get a hold of yourself! When the armor gets here they can take him out."

Everyone held their positions, Foxtrots Two and Four searched in vain for the sniper. Foxtrots One, Three, and Five prepared for another ambush. All of them had put on their gas masks and goggles.

Three minutes later four massive UAVs zipped over the horizon and headed towards the village. As they passed over a fine mist began to precipitate over the village. ZX gas rained began to play its fiddle of death.

ooc: nah, the sharpshooter just took a quick shot and moved, so no need to debate it


"Whats that stuff their UAV is dropping?"

"get on your gas mask. quickly"

The pair in the hospital got their masks on, and radioed anyone that wasnt affected yet. The commander, two rifleman, a machine gunner and the RPG man were able to get their masks on in time. The rest of the town perished, save for people in the hospital due to its over-pressure system. They regrouped inside the hospital, and were formulating a plan.

"We sealed off the side doors when we got here. We have the sewer as our fall back plan. They are forced to come through the front door. The back has claymore mines on the stairway, and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor doors are rigged with Semtex. They as much as nudge the doors, it will go off and probably cave the stairwell. I suspect they might show up with armor, so Zeitsev, Brzezinski and Vorobel will be on the 7th floor concealed until we confirm it. We have enough RPG's to hold out, and more then enough 5.56 rounds. 7.62x54R are running short, and we have about 400 rounds belted, and another 60 for Sashka's rifle. As for the AKM's, everyone take one. Eeveryone get into place, and I want radio silence until the battle starts."

Due to heightened security threats in our nearby ally Severnaya Rossiya, the Gibberish American State Department would like to assist you in taking Adjikistan in order to open up relations between the two countries and possibly open up trade. However, we do not want to attack the Adjiks directly, but rather indirectly as in giving you free weaponry we recently captured from a series of raids in our rival Novistrana and "advisers" from the Army Rangers based in Severnaya Rossiya. All we ask for is a share in the resources you find, and nothing more than friendly relations.

[ENCRYPTION LEVEL 5]



While we are not at war with the Adjikstani's, as we simply replaced their ineffective government with a stand-in for the time being. We are, however, in threat of invasion by larger forces. If you help us fight them off, we will grant you a 45% share in any resources discovered.

To: USSCP
From: USGA

We would gladly help defend your nation. We are thinking of sending in Army's 6th Division to the capital, along with several MiG-29s to patrol your airspace. The list is as follows:

-3,000 infantry
-400 Urban Combat Rangers
-400 HMMWV
-400 M939
-100 M88 ARV
-250 M2A2 Bradley
-225 M1A2 Abrams
-260 T-80U
-150 2S6M Tunguska
-100 M730A2 Chapparal
-50 M270 MLRS
-30 UH-60 Blackhawk
-15 AH-64 Apache
-25 Mi-24 Hind
-15 MiG-29 Fulcrum

I think that might be enough.

"High altitude targets, heading toward our border"


Several MiG-31, Su-37, a pair of F-22N and an AWACS took off from Murska AB, and began to head toward the area detected by the Adjikstani ground radar. When the AWACS clicked its radar on, at 40,000 feet, they could now see the stealth fighters. The MiG-31's fired their R77 missiles when they had a AWACS assisted lock. The F22N flew around to flank the Su-47 at full speed

"Looks like we have some bogeys coming in, let's take them out before they are close enough to hurt us."

The squadron then began to get locks upon the enemy fighters, and used their AIM-120 missiles to fire upon them before they were in visual range.

"Blue squad, evade threat"


The MiG-31's began to deploy countermeasures and bank steeply. Two airframes went up in a ball of fire. The rest of the planes continued to fly erratically to break missile locks.

"Reaper 1 and 2, green light to engage. Yellow squadron continue to hold."

The pair of F22N aircraft, who had took the long route as to get behind the enemy aircraft advanced on the enemy aircraft. Yellow squadron was assigned to protect the border, should the aircraft get near USSCP Airspace, instead of directly engaging enemy craft. A strange job for an elite squadron, some would say.

Your forces will be assigned to the Adjikstani capital of Kandahar. Check the attached map for information.

what about that satellite city?

AK-47 USA...
The White House, 2015 Hours GMT-3

"President Lai, NKVD has accepted the request to help them in Adjikstan. We've made the decision to send the troops into Kandahar," reported JCS head Ryan Le. "For now, we'll be following the USSCP's orders as an ally."

"Excellent, Chief. How many men are we sending?"

"One division and an air force attachment from Severnaya Rossiya. We are to defend the capital city Kandahar from enemy attack."

"Is SecDef Moore busy this week?"

"No, sir. Not that I know of."

"Isn't he Persian?"

"Half, sir. He speaks Arabic, Pashto, and Farsi. Quinn served with me in the Middle East when he was a Force Recon lieutenant and I was a Delta Force major."

"Send him to Kandahar to liason with the local authorities and have him give us a report over there. Hope that makes the Chernies happy."

"Running for reelection, Mr. President?"

"No. I'll let your good friend Derek Schmidt run. Knowing this country our people will vote our Republicans again. What's my approval rating?"

"Seventy-nine percent, sir. The new pro-business policies seem to be working, sir."

President Lai, being as content as ever, was getting ready to retire. Four years of stressful hours in the Oval Office had taken his toll on him. He was getting ready to move back to stock trading for defense contractors.

"Blue squad, evade threat"


The MiG-31's began to deploy countermeasures and bank steeply. Two airframes went up in a ball of fire. The rest of the planes continued to fly erratically to break missile locks.

"Enemy fighters to the rear, they seem to be moving fast."

"Whatever these are, they aren't fucking MiG's thats for sure."

The fleet of F-22's formed into two man "kill" columns and released chaff in order to shake off the missile locks of the enemy combatants before heading right towards they're target, the gateway to the USSCP, Kandahar. They lined up to drop their firebomb loads on the city, ready to reenact the terrors of Dresden, ready to show the Pripyatians the might of Crimea.

Out in the Sea

The crews made the final preparations for the launch of the AC-130. It was a valuable tool in this second stage of the invasion, the stage of insertion.

Inside the AC-130 sat the main attack force of Stage Two, Operation Cyanide Pill, the effort to destroy the USSCP forces. It consisted of fifty men, members of the 202nd Special, the elite covert fighting force of the Crimean Army. They were each equiped with AKM's, SMG's, RPG's and kevlar vests. They were scout snipers, and recon specialists, but on this mission they would be teaching, teaching the Adjikistanis to fight their enemies, and throw off the yoke of USSCP opression once and for all.

The AC-130 took off, with their soldiers and their quad bikes towards the mountains of Adjikistan, where they hoped to slip in between the cracks in the USSCP radar made by the previous attacks on them by the Crimean air force.

ooc: so your gonna bomb the Adjikstani's capital city, probably killing hundreds of thousands, and then you want to have them fight on your side?

NN2 Evening News


Around 05:00 yesterday, approximately 500 well armed rebels from the mountains staged an attack on a guard post near the road. This outpost had the 9th Company of the 76th Guards Air Assault Forces, and was assigned to watch the supply convoys. The 9th Company was made up of 30 soldiers, and the hill known by the Army as "3414" was on a ridge, with one side being a steep drop to the road. The battle took place for the next fifteen hours, with the rebels attacking in several waves. Our highly trained forces were able to decimate the rebels by the time gunship support arrived. The official government casualty count is 23, and the confirmed number of rebel casualties is 348, however the survivors of the battle reported that the rebels recovered a lot of their dead and wounded. The surviving soldiers will receive the Medal for Valor,the Order for Service to the Homeland in the Armed Forces 1st class, and the entire 9th company will receive the Hero of the Soviet Union title.

Coming up next, the weather...

ooc: so your gonna bomb the Adjikstani's capital city, probably killing hundreds of thousands, and then you want to have them fight on your side?

OOC: Yes sir.

@ Kolgujevska
OOC: Just so you know what you are up against VX gas (http://www.3dchem.com/molecules.asp?ID=99). I accidentally have been calling it ZX gas.

IC: The armored troop arrived consisting of 5 Earth III MBTs (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11061442&postcount=349), two LY300 Manticore Multiple Rocket Systems (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535946&postcount=1) and three LY6 Werewolf Assault Guns (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13386886). They Manticores deployed and began to pound the outer village with their thermobaric (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon) munitions. Whole blocks where wiped out with each explosion. When the rockets were exhausted all that remained of the village was the hospital and a few other buildings in that square. The explosions had evaporated some of the heavier concentrations of the VX, but the residue was still in lethal quantities over most of the city. As the Manticores fell back to their fire base the Earth IIIs and the Werewolves moved in to begin shooting down the hosptial. They stopped about 300m away from the hospital to discuss how to destroy the structural supports to take the building down.

"Shit... There's no way we can fight them off like this, I was expecting troops to come in. We're gonna have to escape through the sewers. Bring the rest of the Semtex, we're gonna seal the entrance to the sewers."

Their preparations took less then 15 minutes. Everyone in the hospital was ready to go into the sewers via the B3 access room, and the explosives were rigged into the stairwell as to make following them impossible.


The PMC Commander was explaining to everyone what the escape plan was.

"These tunnels were built during the Cold War, they lead to a massive bomb shelter in the mountains. If we follow the tunnel, we'll end up on the friendly part of the DMZ. Zietsev, set the explosives to go off in 15 minutes. everyone get in that boat there, that will get us there fastest. Unless you want to travel in waist deep water, that is."

The boat started with a little trouble, but was workable. They sped down the narrow tunnel, and behind them they heard the deafening boom from the explosives caving in the entrance. Some time later, they reached the point where they met the mountain. It was something that resembled a dock, and a large steel door. They followed the stairs behind it, which lead to a small village on the USSCP side of the mountain.

The tank commanders had decided to blow the first floor and second floor out of the building and hope that the structure imploded. It was obvious that non of them had any experience in deconstruction. They postioned their tanks around the building, behind enough rubble to protect for any friendly fire. After a fifteen minute shitfest the building began to topple on its northeast corner. The tank in that area switched quickly out of idle and into reverse. Despite the fact that the majority of the building missed the tank, a large chunk of twisted concrete and rebar caught the rear of the tank smashing the engine block. As the NTC forces pulled out of the wasteland that was once a village, word spread across Adjistan and the DMZ of the ferocity of the NTC soldiers, and who they had proven their new military doctrine worked.

What the village look like now. (http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/06FI1Jr7Bif98/610x.jpg)

"Sky Eye, Enemy aircraft are preparing to bomb Kandahar, what should we do?"

"Engage fighter craft, there's nothing we can do."

"Copy."


The rest of the MiG's closed in on the F22's, attempting to ward them off from the other squadron. The USSCP F22N's began to engage the Su-47's with their cannons

General Zhukov sat in his office impatiently. His forces grew weary of sitting around, with one hour a week dedicated to watching resupply convoys at weren't even needed anymore. Everyone anticipated a large ground war, but the enemy never came. Were the force at sea that afraid of the NTC that they wouldn't go through their lines? That must be it, he thought.

He had gotten a report from the PMC's he hired. They killed the last of the rebel leaders, and discovered what the NTC forces would deploy in battle prior to going in. Because of that information, the last supply convoy had NBC warfare kits and antidote auto-injectors among other things

The 6th Division moved at quickening rate across the Chernobyl-Pripyat landscape. General Tony Wong was worried. If they didn't arrive in Kandahar in time, hundreds of thousands would lose their lives. Worse yet, the enemy was trying to get the civilians on their side. Someone had to save them. If not the USSCP, then us. MiG-29s were providing overhead cover and AH-64s filled in the cracks of field of vision that the Fulcrums might have missed. The President had called in for more air forces due to threats of bombing of the city. A huge air battle would begin, and probably a ground battle ensuing it. This was everything: from impressing its new ally to protecting the lives of many innocent people. Also, the USGA's image would count on this next one. Will they succeed?

Your welcome.

what's the red line?

ooc: it's a DMZ for my forces and NTC's

ok. looks good enough.

The 6th division moved into the Adjikistani capital without incident. The MiG-29s hadn't engaged the enemy yet, but they constantly patrolled the area as SAMs and AA batteries were being set up in Kandahar. Air raid procedures were underway.:gas:

"CP MiG's are closing in on our positions, it is time to turn on the burners.

With that, the F-22's and Su-47's began to gain in speed ever rapidly, moving faster and faster, quicker and quicker, at velocities that the MiG's simply could not reach. They broke from their tight bombing formations so they did not collide into each other, and flew erratically in order to lose any locks that the MiG pilots could have made.

All of a sudden, the plays turned into the fray, coming up rapidly onto the MiG fighters while firing volley after volley of AIM-120's.

I havent started engaging your fighters yet.

"Green 15, deploy counter measures"

"4 is hit"

"This is 5, firing now."

The airspace quickly turned into a hairball. Several squadrons of Su-27's took off from Murska AB and began to head towards the fight, and at the same time, a group of Tu-95 bombers took off to to fly on an antishipping mission. They were taking the long route around; flying through Agroprom to flank the Crimean fleet, and firing their payloads once their antimissile defenses engaged the Raven misile, which would act as a decoy. One Tu-95 had a jamming device fitted to it, which would mask their flying formation.

ooc:i'm pretty sure MiG-31's are faster then F22's and SU-47's.

Yeah that's right.

~~~Official Communique~~~
Due to the recent incursion across the DMZ the ANFC (NTC Army) is allowing the Crimean and Wanderjarian forces to mobilize across Eastern Adjikstan, HOWEVER they are not to engage the USSCP forces in ground operations until either the USSCP crosses the DMZ or until ANFC high command gives the order. If these conditions are not met then the air war will be the only war.

Yeah that's right.

OOC: Not at the low altitude that we are engaging at. They are in supercruise, and can go 2.1 or so when in super cruise.

[ooc: I'm going to assume Wanderjar has ghosted, just so this thread can move on.]


"General, the NTC forces have stated they are allowing the Crimean forces into their part of the DMZ."

The General thinks. "Their ground forces will be forced to go through this area, due to the ridge. Once we have them there, use tactical weapons to decimate their combat force. Our anti-ship mission is still going to continue, correct?"

"Yes. The Raven will be loaded with decoy munitions, and the aircraft will fire the anti-ship missiles. Their approach should be unnoticeable due to a radar jamming device."

"What's the status on the SAM's in the Adjikstani mountains?"

"They should be up within the hour."

OOC: dude chill out, I am typing up a response.

OOC: Your not getting out of this that easy

All major cities, and most towns had loudspeakers for which the government would broadcast information if they felt it was important enough. Earlier during the day, they had announced that NBC equipment was going to be distributed the following day. It had also said that things such as fuel would be rationed to civilians, and there would be mandatory blackouts to go with a curfew that began at sundown.

2 squads of scouts from the Order of Cúchulainn descended upon the Sadr Ridge in the cover of darkness with their para sails. They had deployed from a plane running a routine DMZ patrol as to not raise any suspicion. Satellite imaging had provided them with a deserted location they was high up in the ridge line. They set up a camp in a small cave and established communications with the ANFC high command. "This is Tirkit convoy zero zero niner we have arrived in Nova Paris, Over."
"Tirkit convoy zero zero niner we copy. You have go ahead to begin unloading."
The signal from the units had been relayed through Nova Paris and broadcast on the general convoy communication channel to avoid suspicion. The gliders where broken down and burnt in the fire as the unit prepared their equipment for the following day.

Nobody is going to start the fighting until we cannot negotiate an agreement.

OOC: Okay, I am really confused right now, can anyone sum up the situations as they are going on right now, what is going on with this whole Raven deal, with the migs and all that sort of stuff.

IC:

The special ops squads successfully jumped without detection into the USSCP controlled Adjikstan.

OOC: Crimea, I have not authorized your troops to go beyond the DMZ. My move across the DMZ is unknown to you and all other parties. Unless you are pointing out to Gibberish that my forces just jumped in. Either way you have yet to RP the landing of your troops and moving them up to the DMZ.
Gibberish America, I am about to "heat" things up, notice the para-drop into the Sadr Ridge.

IC: The OC (Order of Cúchulainn) squads started the morning with the usual prayers and preparations. The ash of the fire was buried and they moved along the ridges. Every once and a while USSCP helicopters would fly over either on patrol or bringing equipment and personnel to the DMZ. The constant vigilance made the going slow but stealth was essential. They moved to within a kilometer from the rear elements of the USSCP DMZ forces. Still in the ridges they planted four separate small batches (the size of quarter, placed under the rocks to lift them out of the ground and to muffle the explosion to make appear as of nothing "unnatural" had occurred) of Semtex H under large boulders. Then the Squads moved in opposite directions when each was half a kilometer away from the rocks the Semtex exploded and the boulders began to fall towards the small rear supply camp. As they tumbled they dislodged other rocks and began a minor avalanche. The squads then moved to their next point of impact. 15 kilometers in the opposite directions from the avalanche site they began their next phase.

Group North (Squad Alpha):
As they neared the pass they could hear the convoy. They had a helicopter escort and the grinding of tanks could be made out. They pulled their local patterned keffiyahs over their heads. One of them moved out of cover and moved down towards the edge of the cliff over looking the pass where the convoy was traveling. He was clearly unarmed, dressed like a local.

Group South (Squad Bravo):
They maneuvered into position. The village was small and strategically unimportant but the filling station would be useful to the advancing ANFC. The village had nine buildings, seven residences that doubled as store fronts, a police station and the filling station. The squad split. Every man took a building, the police station got two men. They waited until midday when it was hottest and everyone was inside eating lunch. Then simultaneously they stormed the village. The residences went without a hitch as there were no guns in the houses. The filling station turned into a pitched battle. The cashier saw the man running towards the store and produced a shotgun. He assumed they were looters coming from the DMZ. He stuck the shotgun out of the service window and fired. The squadie charged with the station was wounded, but not badly. He dove behind a car parked out in front of the store. The cashier called the police. A man he did not recognize with a strange Adjikstani accent answered the phone. The cashier heard yelling in the background. He slammed the phone down. The squadie yelled in awkward Adjikstani, "Go home, I no want to hurt you." The cashier fired another shell, this time into the car. The squad radio crackled as the squadie called for backup. The residents had all been moved into the largest of the residences. Two stood guard while another ran through all the houses collecting food and clothing for the residents. Four came to his call. Two stood back at the closest building providing a clear shot if the man needed to be killed. The other two scaled the roof. The two on the roof planted a circle of Semtex A and when the hole was blown in the roof right over the cashiers head, the cashier dropped to the ground the two on the roof jumped in the one came out from behind the car and they rushed the cashier before he could come back to his senses. They bound him and brought him to the house with the rest of the residents.

OOC: Crimea, I have not authorized your troops to go beyond the DMZ. My move across the DMZ is unknown to you and all other parties. Unless you are pointing out to Gibberish that my forces just jumped in. Either way you have yet to RP the landing of your troops and moving them up to the DMZ.
Gibberish America, I am about to "heat" things up, notice the para-drop into the Sadr Ridge.

I posted the deployment of special forces in a air drop a while back, and since no one responded after repeatedly being reminded, I decided to go ahead and land them.

They are heading out to supply rebels and other Adjikistanis

small supply cache

"Supply Base 1923 to HQ."

"HQ, go ahead 1923"

"We had a small avalanche, no injuries, but it wrecked a small tool shed and a few trucks, over."

"Copy 1923, repair any damage possible, and stay alert, out."

Armor convoy

The armor convoy was doing routine escorts for a civilian owned water truck group. It wasn't real work, but the water company is frequently attacked by rebels, and they have been writing the command base for help.

The convoy was lead by two T-64MV, with four BMP-2 behind them. After those, the civilian trucks, which had three BTR-70 and an Adjikstani T-55.


"Hey, look over there."

"Where..never mind, I see him."

"Looks suspicious, fire at his feet. Fucking looters.."

One of the soldiers on top of the BMP fired a burst at the mans feet, to attempt to scare him away.

The squadie jumped back. "Fuck, these guys are tense." he yelled back to the rest of them. Yelling in bad Adjikstani he backed away from the cliff. He reported the number of armored and unarmored units to this mates. The squad leader laughed. "Thats what they are driving in this day and age, HA! Ok here are the weaknesses. BMP-2s are lightly armored and the soldiers are all sitting in the center, so if it runs over a mine they all die. Hell and RPG-7 can blow the hell out of that thing. The T-64s problem is the depression angle of the main gun is -6 degrees so if we get close enough it can't shoot us. They will need to store alot of their equipment outside because the inside is too cramped, making it hard to reload if the auto loader breaks, we are talking only 1 round per minute. They also breakdown a lot. If the troops try to exit the BTR-70 while it is in motion they will probably get something run over as the door is in between the wheels. The T-55s cannot shoot below -5 degrees so same thing with the T-64s, they cannot shoot accurately while driving and the ammo in not armored very well. So we shoot a few of the BMP-2s with the MANPADS, to clog up the front, same goes for the T-55 in the rear so they can't go anywhere in the vehicles then we nade their asses and get the hell out of here."

They ran just below the ridges until they came out ahead of the convoy. They set up the three MANPADS and then crested the ridgeline. Within five seconds the first two missiles were away and two seconds later the T-55 had a missile inbound. The other seven crested the ridge each throwing a grenade. Three concussion , two white phosphorous and two VX gas grenades hurtled down towards the convoy.

[ooc:MANPADS? you mean like stingers? maybe a T-55, but i dont think it would do anything to a modernized T-64. And on supply convoys, especially in mountainous regions, it's common to ride on top of the BMP/BTR. That allows you to watch the hills]


"ENEMY FIRE! PREPARE FOR BATTLE" yelled the commander of the group, after two of the BMP's had been hit by missiles, along with the Adjikstani T-55.

Several explosions went off near the road, and they had noticed the gas grenades go off. At first they thought it was smoke, however the driver of the Adjikstani water truck ran through the mist and began seizing. The soldiers, who were using the armor for cover put on their masks and used the auto-injectors before returning fire to both where the missiles came from and the grenades. The BTR-70's at the rear had a target in sight with the KPV and began firing.


"Falcon, we need support, unknown number of enemies in the mountains, we have taken casualties, over!"

The pair of Mi-28 turned back and began scanning the mountain top for threats.

OOC: I wasn't shooting the T-64, I shot what you said I hit.

BMP-2s with the MANPADS, to clog up the front, same goes for the T-55

As for the men on top of the BMPs, I understand that, hence the number of seconds before firing. However, since they don't know where to look it would be foolhardy to assume that they all would be looking in the right place. Anyhow, your post is perfectly in tune with what I had in mind so lets continue.

IC: The last man with MANPAD was torn apart by the 14.6mm rounds pouring into the crest. His arm was shot off at the elbow and then cut in half again before it hit the ground. His legs buckled as he took two rounds in his right thigh. He began to yell, "For Christ I die!" but was cut short when a bullet ripped open his throat. His head exploded as he finally hit the ground. The other nine ran along the crags and rocks getting straffed by the Mi-28s. A stream of rockets caught the last three before they were able to make it to cover. Their bloody stumps flew through the air in an elegant arc that betrayed their origin. The final six locked and loaded their battle rifles and began to ascend the chasm. When they got to the top they waited for the helicopters to make a pass before they opened up. Another two where blown away as the choppers flew over. The other four poured their entire clip into the air at the enemy.

"This is Falcon 1, returning to base, I'm having engine trouble."

"Copy. Falcon 2, continue fire support. Medevac chopper is inbound for our wounded guys."

"This is Falcon 2, enemy targets inside the crevices, I cant get a clear shot..."

"This is HQ, try another angle..". the airbase commander was laughing inside at this obvious solution to the problem at hand. The pilot was new, and wasn't trained extensively for that kind of fighting.

"This is Stark-1 [Medevac copters are called "Starks", as attack ones are "Falcons"], enroute to location, over."

"This is Falcon 2, I'm taking fire from that crevice..there. gunner, use HEI rounds."

The gunner of the Mi-28 began firing at the assumed area, while firing another salvo of 80mm rockets.


"E-Squad, advance up the hill, check for traps on the way up. Bring back any bodies if you find any. They were probably just rebels, but that attack was too coordinated.."

Due to recent engagements in Adjikistani territory between the NTC forces and USGA's USSCP allies, security has been tightened within the city of Kandahar. A curfew is underway, and troops patrol the streets alongside the police forces.

no one knows about that battle, as far as my military knows it was just rebels who engaged them

ooc:i'm pretty sure MiG-31's are faster then F22's and SU-47's.


"Green 15, deploy counter measures"

"4 is hit"

"This is 5, firing now."

The airspace quickly turned into a hairball. Several squadrons of Su-27's took off from Murska AB and began to head towards the fight, and at the same time, a group of Tu-95 bombers took off to to fly on an antishipping mission. They were taking the long route around; flying through Agroprom to flank the Crimean fleet, and firing their payloads once their antimissile defenses engaged the Raven misile, which would act as a decoy. One Tu-95 had a jamming device fitted to it, which would mask their flying formation.

"I've been fired on, deploying chaff and continuing evasive manuvering." a F-22 pilot said as he performed as he vectored up just before shutting of his engines for a moment as the missile whizzed by him and followed the chaff.

Another pilot, in a nearby Su-47 was not quite as lucky, however.

The attack group reached Kandahar, and quickly began to drop their payloads upon the unsuspecting city, targeting primarily the transportation networks and communications lines.

[ooc: I'm going to assume Wanderjar has ghosted, just so this thread can move on.]


"General, the NTC forces have stated they are allowing the Crimean forces into their part of the DMZ."

The General thinks. "Their ground forces will be forced to go through this area, due to the ridge. Once we have them there, use tactical weapons to decimate their combat force. Our anti-ship mission is still going to continue, correct?"

"Yes. The Raven will be loaded with decoy munitions, and the aircraft will fire the anti-ship missiles. Their approach should be unnoticeable due to a radar jamming device."

"What's the status on the SAM's in the Adjikstani mountains?"

"They should be up within the hour."

As the Raven munitions were destroyed one by one, the sailors of the CRS Rebel destroyer celebrated their success, but only for a brief moment before their elation turned back to gravity as they saw a large attack group of enemy fighters coming at their location.

"It seems they are using radar jamming technology, but we can see them through frequency hopping. Deploy fighters to engage them, and lets get some SAMs in the air, damnnit." said Captain Joe Malechov.

With that, the defense got going.

OOC: What are the details of your attacking force? How many of them are there? Also, sorry about taking so long to respond, I lost it in the midst of everything else that was going on.

ooc: the attack didnt happen quite yet, but the plan is to occupy your anti missile defense systems with the raven, while the aircraft fire anti shipping missiles

"HQ, the Crimeans have bombed the capital city, over."

"Copy, continue to engage air superiority fighters."


The radio operator at the HQ was thinking. Why bomb a civilian city of no importance? surely if they try to get them on their side, it would back fire now..

ooc: the attack didnt happen quite yet, but the plan is to occupy your anti missile defense systems with the raven, while the aircraft fire anti shipping missiles

I thought you already launched the Raven?

OOC: USSCP can I get an ORBAT of your forces along the DMZ, I will post mine later tonight.

In Kandahar, emergency services rushed to the areas hit by the Crimean Republic: transportation lines and communications posts. A squadron of Su-37 Super Flankers were deployed to the destruction zone as the local milita was being called to to defend the town. In total, 27 people were killed, all locals. This was viewed as an outrage by the local community and the Crimean Republic was being criticized for its actions against civilians.

ooc:The DMZ has the 7th Motor Rifle Battalion, supported by an Artillery company located further back. There's also a tank division mainly consisting of T-64MV's, and a number of T-90 and supporting infantry

I thought you already launched the Raven?

ooc:it's launched in this post








"Missile base launch"

"Bomber craft, weapon safety off. Target one aircraft carrier, transport ships and AD ships."

The bombers would surely be shot down after they launch the missiles, but they continued their course.

"Raven has reached altitude... beginning re-entry..." The Crimean fleet should have detected them by now.

"Raven is dispersing. Launch cruise missiles now!"

With that the bomber craft launched their SS-N-22 cruise missiles, hoping they would hit due to the AD systems tied up with the Raven

OOC: Crimea are you at the DMZ, I will forgo all formalities if you are. I.E. Rping that whole bit.

OOC: Crimea are you at the DMZ, I will forgo all formalities if you are. I.E. Rping that whole bit.

OOC: I have fifty spec ops guys that have been inserted behind enemy lines, in the USSCP zone.

By the way, CP, where would my guys most likely have landed if they wanted to be in the heart of the Adjikistani insurgency?

And i will have up a post on the raven/bombing attacvk within the next few hours

By the way, CP, where would my guys most likely have landed if they wanted to be in the heart of the Adjikistani insurgency?

A

ooc:mountains on NTC's side, but very close to my side of the DMZ. The rebels you will be dealing with are foreign fighters for the most part

ooc:mountains on NTC's side, but very close to my side of the DMZ. The rebels you will be dealing with are foreign fighters for the most part

Well, I will say they landed on your side... because that is what I told NTC Anyways sorry about the long time before a post, um, here it is.

IC:

The squad looked around at their new surroundings and began to search for nearby insurgents.

to NTC and allies: you guys are headed for the city of Kandahar, are you?

to USSCP: do you have any forces in the city of Kandahar presently?

OOC: I haven't crossed the border or even declared open war yet

to USSCP: do you have any forces in the city of Kandahar presently?

I have about 100 engineers stationed in the city that were repairing public works after I had initially invaded. My country is also now known as the "SRCP"]Soviet Republic of Chernobyl-Pripyat]

At 0400 batteries of NTC artillery all along the DMZ opened up and began to pound the USSCP forces that defended the far side. In concordance VX gas UAVs began to drop their munitions on troop concentrations. When the cacophony was at its most splendid the tank units of DMZ North and Tirkit rolled across the DMZ. Along DMZ south the Alpine and Mountain Units began to move forward. Their protective gear making them even more menacing. Eyes glowing eerie red in the pre-dawn darkness.

"Enemy force have gone hostile, orders?"

"Open fire. Once they are out in the open use a Raven on them."


Knowing what purpose the NTC UAV's served, the SRCP forces used their auto injectors and put on their NBC protective gear, and braced for combat. An artillery battery in the mountains began to fire upon a group of forces they had detected via a listening post, and all forces in Adjikstan were put on full alert.

At the DMZ line, soldiers were using Kornet launchers priority targeting tanks, while RPG forces would close the gap when they were in range

ooc: bump

Crimea, since the fighters aren't from Adjikstan, you can RP their encounters.[The Adjikstani's could be hostile since you bombed their capital]

To: Chernobyl-Pripyat
From: Il Korea

The Republic of Il Korea would like to offer assitance to your forces, by bringing forth some naval and ground forces.

Come on! Let's get this RP back on its feet!

The 10 tanks that didn't have their countermeasures online were destroyed as the incoming missile hit home. Soon the massive invasion was engaged all across the border. The USSCP fortifications were being bombarded and the NTC armed forces pressed their massive numerical advantage. They used their momentum to push the tiny USSCP force back in a direct mushroom form.

"Colonel, the NTC forces have begun an assault, they out number our forces on the DMZ largely. Orders?"

"Tell them they are on direct orders to hold their ground. Once the NTC forces are past the first defense line, or radio contact is lost, use tactical missiles on the area. After that, standard attack operation will ensue. All units are now put on maximum alert."

The smaller forces at the DMZ were pushed back, but held their ground to a certain point. The infantry were bogged down by artillery, however the tanks took defensive-offensive positions against the attacking force, targeting enemy tanks and IFV's. They would coordinate their attacks along with artillery. Several Su-25's were inbound, while bieng covered by 5 X-02 Wyvern craft.

OOC: I would agree with everything you said but flanking my troops? I have sent a human and machine wall at you, 200,000 men versus your
7th Motor Rifle Battalion, supported by an Artillery company located further back. There's also a tank division mainly consisting of T-64MV's, and a number of T-90 and supporting infantry
Flanking would not be possible, I would carry every position due to sheer fire supremacy and inertia. You could only engage me in troop concentrations, I am assuming around arty, and there you couldn't outflank without traveling far out from the arty bases. In so doing I would rout the arty, and repulse the flanking maneuver with little effort. You have less then 50,000 men along the border, all unit types accounted for. The NTC outnumbers you on the border 4:1 with another 300,000 in reserve in eastern Adjikstan.

ooc:

whoops, sorry >.<

I was pretty worn out when I wrote it


Fixed it

bumped

bump [is this still alive??]

The NTC forces soon broke the front lines and began their thrust toward the second line of defense. They killed every USSCP soldier they came across screaming, "NO PRISONERS!" When the southern section finally crested the Sadr Ridge they allowed the logistical section to come up. Batteries of anti-aircraft and anti-airborne object missiles were set up to defend the southern advance.

A request for more troops was requested immediately. The reserves began to mobilize traveling 50 miles behind the advancing armies. They secured the villages they passed through.

I thought it was SRCP now.

As the first defense line crumbled, an offensive operation was being prepared. Twelve R400 tactical missile launchers, firing the maximum nuclear payload the missiles could carry, fired their payloads in a line at the advancing enemy formations, intending to take out the larger concentrations and armor. Once the missile hit their targets, a combined SRCP-Adjikstani armor assault would commence, with full air support via CAS aircraft and helicopter gunships. They would be supported by a squadron of Su-35 on call, and several mobile artillery companies.

500,000 Adjikstani infantry [M113]
1,000 Adjikstani T-55MV

OOC: You nuke me then immediately move in? I am not contesting the nuking but the immediate advance, what tech is allowing them to do this?

ooc: I assume thats directed at me; most tanks and APC's since the '60s have NBC counter measures, such as overpressure systems and have radiation resistant liners. Since the Adjikstani army uses old equipment, the radiation will have an effect on them, plus you can RP your encounter. My forces were still prepping as the Adkistani's advanced

ooc: considering the fact that this NS I assumed your nuke was big enough to make Hiroshima and Nagasaki like a joke and you are shooting a number from twelve launch vehicles, my response would be to die, not much I can do. My southern army is covered as far as destroying the missiles before they detonate. Even then depending on how many are launched some might get through the net. It only takes one. The northern and central armies are totally susceptible. My reserves are not far enough behind to avoid serious damage. On top of that physics dictates that if you detonate that many nukes in that close of a proximity the world will end, so I guess we are both doomed. :p

ooc: I probably should explain that the R400 is a tactical nuke launcher xD

it's also called the SS-23 ''Spider"

ooc: tactical nukes sure, but you said they had the maximum payload, which is what? you still have twelve R400s shooting salvos of tac nukes, you would create a movement of the tectonic plates with that much energy, and/or destroy the other side of the NS world with reciprocal tidal waves and earthquakes. regardless, the remainder of my troops are falling back.

OOC: You nuke me then immediately move in? I am not contesting the nuking but the immediate advance, what tech is allowing them to do this?

No, the nukes are for last resort or desperate battles. And the forces were already there in the first place. I'm just specifying what was there. (look back at the previous threads!)

OOC: Your reply is a bit late, thus I suggest a bit of your own medicine. (not malicious, just to be funny)

ooc: xD i guess that's true.. well supposedly the NS earth is massive, so the energy waves could have the chance to dissipate. The yeild of eich one is around 100kt.



ic:

As the Adjikstani army advanced, they were already feeling the effects of the radiation. The Geiger Counters inside the T-55's that they possessed were constantly going off, due to the wind blowing fallout. Because they weren't expected to survive long against the NTC forces, they weren't given things such as body armor, but they did have antirad meds. Their equipment varied; Most of their weapons were from rebel caches, or things captured at port from when the ALF would purchase things from arms companies. The SRCP forces had SKAT-10M suits on, which would protect them from N.B.C., along with good protection from small arms.

The 350,000 remaining NTC soldiers fell back to the Donovan Line. They prepared their defenses. The Air Force of the NTC, so long absent from the skies began to run routine patrols to engage the advancing forces.

The Air Force Su-27s flew over the SRCP-Adjikistani armor column, providing air cover. They prepared to engage NTC patrols and possibly the ground forces. Their systems were a bit fuzzy from EMP, but otherwise, they could continue their mission.

OOC: The EMP from the nuclear blast would have weakened by now.

While the SRCP forces were prepping for their advance, the operation commander was discussing with the Generals back home.

"The Adjikstani forces have begun their advance. We're expecting a 60% casualty rate among them, but they should be able to weaken their defensive line. One they make contact, we will hit them hard and fast. Make sure the forces are ready, we'll be moving shortly."

"The 3rd Guards Spetsnaz Brigade is prepping for deployment, and will be operational within a few hours. Once we have pushed the NTC forces further back, they'll deploy into the mountains and secure villages."

The USGA Air Force was closing in to the NTC forces, ready to unleash a storm of explosives. Meanwhile, the General in command in Kandahar sent a message to the SRCP operation commander.

[ENCRYPTION LEVEL:5]

TO:SRCP Operational Command
FROM: USGA Army Special Forces Command

We would like to send a squads of special forces to work with Spetsnaz and to help combat the NTC. They are some of the USGA's best soldiers and are former SWAT officers or Airborne Rangers. Theoretically, they do not exist to the public. We would like them to learn Spetsnaz fighting methods and to teach them some Western fighting methods as well.

The team is the Army Immersion and Cooperation Detachment Victor, or VICTOR squad.

Leader: Sgt. Major Mikhail Kamayshev (weapon of choice: AK-74M)
Sgt. Eric Schmidt (AK-74M)
Sgt. Michael Le (AK-74M)
Sgt. Gordon Chang (Saiga)
Cpl. Allen Daly (AKS-74U)
Cpl. David Silow (VSS Vintorez)
Cpl. Patrick Carroll (Dragunov SVD)

All team members are experts in firearms and foreign languages. Hopefully, they can make a deadly addition to your forces.

With best regards,
General Harry Forge
USGA SRCP Operations Commander

While a larger battle was set to commence elsewhere, another convoy had become under attack by rebels near the SRCP border. The column had been trapped when the T-64 at the front's engine was taken out, and several Kamaz trucks had been blown up. The rebels were shooting from dug-in positions on the high ground, and were inflicting heavy casualties on the newly arrived conscripts, as this would be their first battle. A BMP-2 gunner located one of their firing points, and fired several cannon shells which made quite a mess if the men in the crevice. From the opposite side of the canyon, a rebel fired an RPG at the BMP, obliterating it and taking a few soldiers with it. Since the rebels wanted to fight another day, they retreated into a nearby village.


Two squads from a different unit came to follow the rebels and kill them, and caught up with them quickly via helicopter. Along the way the helicopters tore up a group of rebels setting up another ambush, which probably would have targeted the medical units. When they were near the village, they dismounted from the helicopters, who would stay nearby. It wasn't uncommon for the rebels to hide among the civilian populations, sometimes they were even inside their homes. Because of this, random sweeping operations often targeted such places. Upon entry of a house, for example at dinner time, two soldiers would cover the family and ask them if there was anyone in the house other then them. After getting a response, the house would be searched thoroughly, and anyone found that wasn't directly named by the family would be shot on site. If the family is found to be a repeated shelter for rebels, they would be executed.

The village in question, was to be razed. Several times in the past weapons had been confiscated from here, and many militants resided as well. The squads moved in quietly, and checked their weapons. They were using the newest AP ammunition issued, which had no problems tearing through multiple objects, people and cover alike. All at once, they began spaying the huts and buildings with bullets, calling in the Hinds to take out the heavier buildings. The gunmen from the attack earlier rushed out to fight, but were cu down quickly. When the only thing left alive were the soldier, they were evacuated back to their unit. It was unlikely that there would be any repercussions from this, since the level of insurgent movement was down by 63% compared to when they had first invaded.
