Your first mission takes you to a small village roughly half a kilometer south of Takat, Turkey. President Erdogan’s latest acquiescence towards authoritarian regimes has led to the sequestration of several pro-Russian oligarchs and military officers in hiding, while simultaneously providing illegal arms manufacturing to Russia’s stymied military. Your objective will work to eliminate both of what the US considers unacceptable in the efforts to aid Ukraine. The leader of an ad hoc weapons depot was spotted returning to his base of operations, though he will not stay for long. As such, we do not have the opportunity for the cover of night.
It’s going to be a hot drop.
Three blackhawk helicopters will perform a rapid insertion on the southwest, northwest, and northeast corners of the facility. The insurgents have ears to the ground in Takat, and are likely to be aware of our presence before landing. Expect burning tires to signal a QRF response team once you hit the ground. Because of the rapid insertion and the daylight conditions, speed is the key.
In light of the context of the weapons depot, enemy armament is likely to be consistent and robust. Expect rifles and suppression. Enemy skill is luckily low, save for several long range officers. RPGs are a likely bolster to this skill detriment.
Last minute intelligence reports that the HVT and manager of the munitions depot has been doing inspections around the facility, so unfortunately, expect him to be stationed in either several of the resident buildings, or inside the refinery itself.
This is a delicate mission 3EE, the HVT has embedded himself among the enemy force, which means any stray bullet could prove the failure of the mission. We have provided long range sniper support along the western ridgeline overlooking the rural plant as a response.
When QRF forces arrive, it is imperative that you egress by any means possible. Our blackhawks will remain for exfil, but each second puts them at greater risk.
Good luck 3EE.
(Campaign designed for 3-4 player coop.) Recommend "Hardcore" settings. (permadeath of soldiers for subsequent missions).
