A Most Magnificent Middle Eastern Melee (MT/Closed)

Tiranjia Grand Hotel, Socialist Federal Republic of Krajstali
The hotel staff had left the members of the participants in the upcoming conference a Reminder that the Conference will start in the Afternoon slid under the doors of their rooms accompanied by Today's papers. The Conference room was adjusted so that it would resemble more of a conventional summit room with a circular table laid out and reservations for the attendees on the seats along with their names and the flags of the country they were representing. Two large screens were set up beside a dark blue board that read Black Sea Defence Pact Conference 2014
Tiranija,Socialist Federal Republic of Krajstali bearing the flag of the BSDP.

On the tables were glasses of water as any regular conference would and a filed envelope containing a document. Marshal Slobovan who had arrived Yesterday was first to enter the room, making sure everything was set. He took his seat which had his name the country he was obviously representing on the Table. As afternoon had loomed in, the attendees had as well. President Davis Stanislav of Modrova was the first to enter with his chosen representatives,the Proskoyans had entered next only a few seconds behind the Modrovans, Major General Niels Binoche had then arrived before Tomek Lipnicki of Elektrograd came.
The Marshal gave them a few minutes to prepare for the conference before fully starting it, he then stood up to start the conference off.

"Pozdravi and Përshëndetje to the very first Black Sea Defence Pact Conference esteemed Comrades, I hope you all had a comfortable trip to here and rested well in the care of the Hotel Staff. As you all know we are gathered here with a growing regional threat that could not only destabilize the whole of the Middle East but also us here in Europe, a dangerous trend of Extremism will soon target the young minds of Muslims throughout our nations and the world. Now as we all know, the Islamic State's current size is the equivalent of that of Neighboring Jordan meaning that this threat is definitely no Insurgency or a Guerrilla war, the Islamic State's treasury is estimated at Billions and their fighters number between 20,000 to 40,000 but 200,000 by Kurdish Claims. With Cells around the Middle East and beyond we have a deadly situation on our hands. Not only that but the Organized States thinks it's a good idea to start another Iraq or Eye-Rack as they tend to say. In front of you, a copy of the ISSA's report on the investigation of the Dolmabahçe Palace Siege is there. You may open it and Read. I will now be willing to pass my turn to anyone here who wants to speak, thank you."
Marshal Slobovan had sat back down awaiting for anyone's response.

Major General Niels Binoche shifted in his seat before looking up to address the crowd.

"Thank you Mr. Slobovan, now if I can present some figures".
A slide projector turned on and began displaying casualty and munition expenditure statistics.

"What you are looking at here is an estimation of the losses, relative to total strength, suffered by the various parties to this conflict. Should the current rate of casualties continue, even without any escalation, the FSA will likely find themselves bereft of arms or ammunition by summer. Leaving them out to dry is not an option, they are the only source of moderate opposition and they will soon be crushed by advancing ISIS fighters."

General Binoche clicked forward to another slide.
"What I propose is that we negotiate a truce between the SAA, FSA, and Kurdish forces. This ceasefire will extend until the threat of ISIS has been dealt with, at which point negotiations can begin with regards to the state of post-war Syria. Our home office has recommended that a power sharing scheme be implemented so that the secular members of the FSA can be integrated into the Syrian administration with minimal disruption. The Kurds are to receive near total autonomy, this is non-negotiable from our standpoint."

Several more slides flicked by, each offering more detail to the peace proposal. The General cleared his throat before continuing:
"Lastly, I'd like to go over some of the logistical figures for this operation. Currently Korvan hospital flights are running to Kurdistan in order to evacuate seriously wounded fighters, resupply missions are being flown daily, and we are prepared to implement a no-fly zone over the conflict area. This should discourage any further destabilizing acts, such as the recent bombings by the OS."

General Binoche spoke for another few minutes before yielding the floor.

Syrian Air Defense Base, Darraa: Syrian Civil War Southern Front

As 700 Free Syrian Army troops fought there way on the outskirts of the base, the main 300 strong core group of Colonel Tareq stormed the center and overwhelmed the base guards. Syrian national defense miltias began setting up machine guns on local parts of the base to pin down FSA crack troops who stormed into the front. two companies of FSA troops who were in the north east of the base deployed RPGs, Milan AT missiles and Stinger missiles to block the main highway from Daraa to the Air Defense Base. The flanking force on the far left of the attack in the south west swung around the base to flank it. FSA troops stormed the base from the south west and supported the main force in the center. The National Defense Force was trying to hold out as long as it could but with the highway blocked and the regime sustaining multiple battles on various fronts no reinforcements came. With the base firmly captured by the Free Syrian Army came with it a plethora of Anti-Aircraft missiles capable of shooting down jets, however more was needed..

"Free Syrian Army troops caught in action as they are moving towards the regime positions.

Koeta Air Force Base, Central Farah Province, West Afghanistan

"...And your patrol for today will be over western Iraq. A straight flight in over Iran and out the same way."

The older air-force officer in a bright white dress uniform indicated to a room of pilots their mission on a large board, and reeled off a list of objectives. This was the beginning of the Ioazian air campaign in Iraq and Syria; and all things considered, Afghanistan provided them with a very convenient base of operations indeed, although they were to be cautious regardless. Koeta AFB was the base of the No. 25 Squadron IAF, a predominantly ground attack-oriented squadron fielding the FA-8 Goshawk low-level low-observability strike fighter - and therefore very well-suited to the type of mission assigned to it, that being the destruction of ground assets of an enemy with no air power and a heavy technological disadvantage.

A thunder roared down the wide concrete runway, accelarating along it and climbing high into the sky. A flight of ten aircraft, each except one burdened with some 25,000 kilograms of munitions made their way steadily westwards over the great expanse of Iran's steppes and deserts. Steadily their supercruise took them above the landscape, through the sky, and towards the Iraqi border at a medium level. Nine of them would dip down to a lower level - a few hundred meters at most - when ISIS-controlled territory was approached. The tenth aircraft would instead rise, and climb far higher - its purpose was reconnaissance, to spot potential targets for the low-level flight who would not see anywhere near as far. A flight of AWACS aircraft was to be transferred to Afghanistan in the near future, and then one of them would take over this role, but a variant of a multirole fighter would do very well for now.

Lipnicki cleared his throat.

"Gentlemen, if we want to stabilize situation in the region by negotiating a truce between fighting sides we will have to minimise third part involvement. I am talking about Organized States attacks on Syrian army. We need need to set not only no-fly zone, but also naval buffer zone. Maritime forces of Krajstali, Modrova and other members could prevent OS from using naval based cruise missiles. Diplomatic effort should also take place. However, we need to work it out peacefully, we can't afford conflict with OS."

Elektrogradian switched papers.

"Island of Cyprus is in perfect location for coordinating our efforts in the region. I suggest asking Cypress government to set a base and few airfields in exchange for BSDP partner status, similar to this given to Cartia. After that we will have perfect spot to send humanitarian help and ammunition to aid those who fight ISIS. Elektrogradian army is more than willing to donate C-17 and An-26 planes and ships to ensure safety of the process."

He took a quick glance at the rest of politics.

"Thank you."

President Davis Stanislav stood up after Lipnicki gave the presentation and gave his presentation.

"As the representative of Modrova, I can say that I'm glad to be here and working alongside my allies on how to tackle this issue.With that being said, I'm going to make this short and sweet. For the past few months now, we have been flying in aid and arms to Iraqi Kurdistan and providing training with some of our advisers alongside Korva. With the recent events haven unfolded as they have, we have stepped up on deliveries by using larger aircraft, and sending some of our units to help provide more training and to fight with the Kurds if needed. We are fully aware of the event were the OS went on the offensive and attacked the SAA with airstrikes, and because of that, the Pact is deciding to put up a no-fly zone and a blockade off the coast of Syria to prevent Western intervention. We are willing to add a flight of four Su-27 Flankers to the no-fly zone and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, Dmytro, to the blockade. Seeing how we are a part of NATO, our presents along with other allies that are a part of it as well should deter the OS from engaging our aircraft and ships, or else they will be acting against allied nations. That is all we have for now" Stanislav sat down and took a drink of water.

A message to the world governments against the Syrian regime and Islamist Radicals,

As you know the Free Syrian Army and other aligned groups have been battered heavily in the north in areas such as Idlib, Aleppo, and Homs. I am Colonel Tareq al Nasri, commander of the Free Syrian Army forces in the south of the country near the Jordanian border south of Damascus. My forces have taken the main Syrian Air Defense Base near Jordan and we are advancing towards taking the city of Daraa in the south. We are pleading with you to support us in the form of quality weapons, food, and medicine. We understand your governments do not want to provoke a total war in Syria by using aircraft however should you decide to target areas in Syria the Free Syrian Army, including myself and others have valuable on the ground intelligence on Syrian regime and Islamic State and Al Qaeda forces.

Incirlik AB, Turkey

The roar of engines lit up the sky at the NATO base, as American, Turkish, French and British aircraft took off and landed. Incirilik was one of the biggest Allied Bases in the region, and with the Allied effort against ISIS and Assad now in full swing, French Rafales joined British, Canadian, and American F-35As and Typhoons against the biggest threats to Allied Interests in the region. The primary effort, was to now take out Assad, build a no-fly zone, and keep ISIS from expanding. Incirlik was one of many Cold War NATO bases reactivated in the previous months. Izmir, Büchel, and Spangdahlem Air Bases had all seen massive buildups in forces since the start of Operation Inherent Resolve. Not to mention the building up of forces at Ali Al Salem, RAF Akrotiri, Isa, Al Udeid, Al Dhafra, Bagram, and Kandahar. Though Bagram and Kandahar already had massive amounts of forces, the A-10s and F-15Es had their deployments extended.

Captain Frank Welsh walked down the flight-line towards his squadron's designated operations area. Though this was the long way, Welsh usually liked to walk along the flight line and admire the aircraft of the OS' allies. The first one he came upon was a Typhoon FGR4 of No.1 Squadron RAF.

"She's a beautiful bird." Welsh said, walking up just as an RAF pilot was doing his walk-around of the aircraft.

"Thanks mate. She's mine too, well not really, MOD's actually." said the Brit as he finished his walk-around. Welsh produced a small chuckle at the Brit's remarks. The RAF pilot then proceeded to extend his hand.

"Flight Lieutenant Allingham." said the Brit while he extend his hand.

"Captain Welsh." replied Welsh as he returned the handshake.

"I'll see you around mate, maybe up there as well." Allingham said.

Four hours later, Above Northern Syria

"Two, keep formation. You're getting sloppy." said LeMarc as he brought the A-10E into a light turn. He looked behind him to see his wingman also turning. Their target was an ISIS supply convoy moving from the Iraqi Border into Syria. Four BMPs along with a T-62, probably captured from the SAA with two white pickups taking up the rear. Small-arms fire began to appear in sporadic bursts. Probably nothing more than a few Jihadis firing their AKMs wildly in a vain attempt to take down the A-10Es. Philips started out the run this time. She tapped off a set of AGM-65Ls towards the convoy. The four AGM-65Ls tore off of the pylons and flew towards the ground. The first to go was the T-62, the turret being blown off and landing in the desert about 3 meters away as a fireball from the tanks fuel tank began to burn profusely. The next to go were the white pickups which exploded in another set of fireballs. LeMarc switched off his own set of Mavericks, this time aimed at the BMPs. The BMPs took one hit as the AGM-65s tore through the Soviet armored vehicles bringing the jihadis inside to a furious death.

Sinjar, Northern Iraq
"This is Jackal Actual, all signs on this net report, I say again, all signs on this net report."
"Jackal Actual, this is Jackal One, all up and waiting."
"Jackal Two, up and waiting."
"Jackal Three, standing by."
"Alright, standby for orders, break. Jackal is go for OP Carrion, break. All signs to pre-designated rallying points and standby for entry into the compound."
"Jackal One copies. Out."
"Jackal Two wilco, out."
"Jackal Three copies. Out."

That was it. Proskoya now had a direct hand in dealing with ISIS. Of course, they wouldn't want it any other way.

International Hotel, Tiranjia, Socialist Federal Republic of Krajstali

Representative Prochazka rose to speak before the group.

"Thank you ... It is an honor to be here among allies. I will note that we already have had sent military advisors to the Kurds in their time of conflict with ISIS. This is known. With the event that preceded this meeting of friends, it can be understood that we Proskoyans have a want for solving the issue at hand. That ISIS would have such ill will towards us and our citizens speaks of their inhumanities. We agree with all aforementioned notions, including the temporary ceasefire, the no-fly zone, and the blockade. We may well contribute to these efforts, but you all know as well as I do that there is only so much we can commit. Therefore, we propose that Proskoyan armed forces begin movement into Northern Iraq in order to provide on the ground support for Kurdish fighters. It is an imperative that the threat of ISIS be dealt with in a swift blow and we would wish to act on such instinct."

OS deploys Carrier Fleet to Mid-East
Mark Wolter, Octagon Correspondent

The OS Military deployed one of its Supercariers and the respective ships accompanying it, known as a Carrier Strike Group to the Med. Sea off the Coast of Syria in an act to "protect OS and Allied Interests in the region". With the rise of ISIS and the start of a campaign against the Assad Regime by the OS, President Ellsworth ordered the deployment Saturday as to continue Allied Operations in the region with Turkish, British, and French forces. The Assad regime came under fire last ear from the Ellsworth administration for the use of Chemical Weapons against civilians. When found that the Assad regime had not turned over all of its stockpile, the President ordered a set of punitive actions against the Regime, according to Octagon officials.

The OSS Liberty and Carrier Strike Group 13 will arrive tomorrow in the region.

Grand International Hotel,Novi Vizantija,Socialist Federal Republic of Krajstali
Marshal Slobovan Karadsevic had looked around the room as the last person who was Proskoya's representative to the Conference, Prochazka had finished on what he was planning. Finally, it was Marshal Karadsevic's turn to present on what Krajstali will be doing to help the efforts of the BSDP intervention within the Middle East.

"I agree with a lot of what you have all considered doing, as I will take all of what we have planned to President Bashar who is a close friend of mine.Now,I want to say that despite my full total support for the Assad Loyalist, I respect all of your allegiances with your regional allies especially those to the Kurds and the FSA. Hopefully Mr.Assad will understand that everyone in Syria whose allegiances are not yet with ISIS are useful to contributing to the final defeat of ISIS and the total victory of the Free Middle Eastern world,and hopefully he will assure the Kurds who live in Syria their freedoms returned and given Greater autonomy. If the Kurds and the FSA agree to pledge their support for each-other then I'll be more than happy to supply them. However once this Temporary alliance is over then I will cut off all support for the FSA and send a final shipment of support for Assad in hopes that it is enough for him to finish the War. As of now we will provide Assad's forces supplies and Training through five Soko Commandos and a Paratrooper."

Karadsevic took a break and sipped his glass of water before switching to another point for him to discuss.

"As for the deterrence of Western Intervention, I'm afraid that in only a few hours time will an OS Aircraft carrier enter the Mediterranean Sea and reach Syria. Since the Krajstalian Navy is in a close reach of Syria we can Establish the blockade hopefully before they arrive. This will discourage them to use Cruise Missiles and attempts to carry out airstrikes by Sea, not only that but since we have the Syrian Coast covered through Krajstalian Ports we can transport Aid both Military and Humanitarian to Syria. We will be also shipping out Syrian Refugees to Krajstali and possibly to other nations in Europe if they are willing to accept them, in which all of the actions I have stated above will hopefully further discourage OS intervention or attempts to break through the Blockade.I will dispatch one Aircraft Carrier of a Kuznetsov-class , four cruisers of both Slava and Kara class and about five of Kashin and Udaloy class destroyers. In the event the blockade is possibly breached then I will have to supply either the FSA or the SAA several Anti-Ship missiles.As for the No-fly zone, we will chip in several Soko J-22's and MiG 29's to enforce it. Since Cyprus is very close to us, the government has agreed to let the BSDP set up a base within their nation, only the southern Cypriots though since the opinion of the Northern Turkish Cypriot government is obvious. Other than that we will also conduct Sabotage and Demoralization operations within ISIS. Most likely ruining the Image of Abu Bakr and supplying his fighters with False Explosive Ammunition."

The Marshal took a pause for a final time before officially closing the conference.

"Anyone else? Good, we were able to keep our meeting short and efficient. I myself am not only proud to be around here with you all but also proud at the fact that the Socialist Federal Republic has been chosen as a Prime candidate for the Headquarters of the BSDP to be stationed in, I'm happy that we were all able to contribute something to the cause. Hopefully you will all enjoy the rest of the day, I would now finally like to declare that this conference will be coming to an end. I wish you all good luck on your journey back home and wish that you all will be there on time for Christmas. I had arranged for the Hotel to leave you all gifts before you leave, Enjoy the closing ceremony in which will be displayed at the Nearby City Stadium, you may go there if you wish or watch it live on the Television.I thank you all for attending this conference today and wish you all a Merry Christmas."

Slobovan stood up before the rest of the Conference had followed packing up what they had brought, as they had exited the room the Marshal had given them handshake before he himself had left the conference room for the Hotel's staff to clean up.
Marshal Karadsevic had a long day ahead as he would have to closely supervise the setting up of the Maritime Blockade and other necessary preparations for the Upcoming events.
Within only a few hours later,Squadrons of KPAF Aircraft had left for Airbases in Korva to help establish the No-Fly Zone, the Naval ships that are to be dispatched to set up the blockade had left the naval ports of the Nation alongside a extra several naval and transport ships with one inbound for Cyprus to set up the BSDP's Forward Operations Base and the rest heading for Syria with Supplies for Assad.

President Davis Stanislav and the rest of his party started making their way to the vehicles in the parking lot.
"Your not staying for the ceramony sir?" the assistant asked.
"Sadly no."Stanislav replyed."I would like to go and watch it but with the current situation now, I would like to start mobilizing some of the ships, aircraft and men that I planned on sending as soon as possible. We are dealing with a carrier task force here, so they tend to move fast."
"I understand."the assistant replied."Do you want me to get a line with the generals?"
"If we can contact them now that would move things faster."Soon, Stanislav was connected to a secured line with the generals and started to give out the orders.

"First of all gentlemen, we have a OS carrier group making its way to the coast of Syria,so that's why I'm having this emergency meeting, because we need to get moving as soon as possible.

"Air Force, I want you to send the flight of four Su-27s and a An-26 to follow them, carrying their supply of armaments, to the southern Cyprus airbase. Most of the other BSDP members will have aircraft going down their as the staging ground for the no-fly zone. From their they will work in conjunction with the BSDP Air Command. Simple as that. Understood?"
"Yes sir."the general replied.

"Navy, I want you to start getting the crew of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, Dmytro, mobilized and heading out to meet up with the ships of the Krajstalian Navy and to follow them to the coast of Syria. If possible, get a couple of civilian ships to follow, we are going to try and get some refugees out of their and brought to Krajstali. Understood?"
"OK sir, will get some civilian ships to help out."the general replied.

"Army, you know what to do, get the squad going."
"Understood sir."the general replied with full understanding of his statement.

"Now with all that out of the way, Lets get back home and start assessing the situation from there." Stanislav said as he entered the vehicle.

An Hour Later

Sova Air Base, The Southern District of Sova, Modrova

Captain Viktor Marko, the individual that was appointed to lead the flight of Su-27s, was accompanied by Senior Lieutenant Mykhail Artem, Senior Lieutenant Spartak Olek, and Lieutenant Vitalik Andriy. They had just got done with suiting up and packing their stuff up to be transported by the An-26, which was already parked in the distance near the weapons bunker to be loaded up with needed weapons, and were making their way to their aircraft.

"So what is the big thing going on now?" Artem asked.

"Air Command will breif us on the mission, but I can tell you we are going to enforce a no-fly zone in Syria with some of the other BSDP aircraft and that the OS has started to mobilize a carrier force that's heading to Syria, so that is going to make things complicated." Marko replied.

"How many aircraft is the air force sending? Are we the only flight going in?" Artem asked.

"If you count the three Il-76s flying cargo and the An-26 that is following us then yes, we are the only combat capable Modrovan group of aircraft being sent in this. Their is going to be a fair amount of other aircraft from the BSBP joining in so their is no need to be worried."Marko replied."As I said, just wait for the briefing what we will get."

Soon, the flight was already taking off from the runway and then going past port Brenca and seeing Dmytro departing from port and then flying strait to Cyprus, going over the Krajstalian mainland with the An-26 in tow.

Daraa, Syria: Syrian Civil War Southern Front

Colonel Tareq's men stormed the Syrian army regime Air Defense base, after nearly a day of fighting and two days of holding the base the FSA managed to clear the path from the south into Daraa city. With the FSA assault from the north west, and the Islamic brigades penetrating from the south east the regime was pushed back into Daraa center. Where they where encircled. Regime warplanes and helicopters continued bombarding the advancing rebels as much as possible however with the encirclement at hand the main commander of the Syrian regime forces in Daraa secretley gathered his officers and came to a conclusion that they should surrender but the Free Syrian Army rather than the Islamic Front. A secret communique was sent to Colonel Tareq who was behind the front lines directing the various infantry assaults towards the last regime stronghold. Colonel Tareq told his lieutenants that the Syrian regime would surrender however and immediate assault would have to be made against the Islamic Front on the other side. At once firing between the Syrian Army and the Free Syrian army stopped. FSA troops walked into the regime base from the east and south assimilating and disarming various regime troops. Colonel Tareq gave strict orders to treat Syrian regime soldiers with humanity and according to Geneva rights. Photos and videos where taken showing FSA soldiers treating regime soldiers with dignity in an attempt to humiliate the regime of Bashar Al Assad.

Islamic Front collapses in Daraa
A Commander from the Islamic Front called on Tareq and declared him an "Kufar" and "Pig". He declared the Free Syrian Army were apostates and working with the Regime and Israel to destroy Islam. Tareq who had already captured the base peacefully used those newly acquired front positions to launch a deep strike against the Islamic Front and Jabhat al Nusra. FSA troops fought ferociously against battle-hardened Jihadists from Chechnya, Iraq, Somalia and Indonesia. With the Free Syrian Army inflicting heavy casualties since they captured regime weapons and vehicles the Islamic Front was kicked out of Daraa proper and retreated. This was the first victory in which the FSA successfully defeated the regime and the jihadists. With Daraa under the Free Syrian Army, morale was at an all time high. The reidents were calling on the liberation of all of Syria.

Soldiers Defect
Over a 100 officers of the regime in Daraa defected to the Free Syrian Army, however that was not what scared the commanders in Damascus. What did, was that these 100 officers mostly came from the Air Defense Base that the FSA captured in Daraa. A plethora of Anti-Aircraft missiles and systems were captured along with men who defected and knew how to use and maintain them. The regime sent three Helicopters of whom two were obliterated from the sky near Daraa. This sent commanders in the National Defense Force and the regime military headquarters crazy.

Military airbase, Rebiechow, Republic of Elektrograd

Tall officer jumped out open-topped Honker. One of pilots, standing nearby, approached him.
"Colonel!"
'Easy, lieutenant" said colonel, opening closed envelope. He passed a sheaf of papers to younger soldier. "Here are your orders. If you ever wanted to visit Cyprus, this is your lucky day."
"Yes, sir!" He saluted again. "What are we transporting?"
"Battalion of engineers and equipment. lots of equipment. We are setting our base there."
"Also heavy metal?"
"Also heavy metal. Bulldozers will arrive shortly." - Colonel pointed at giant hangar, located near southern runway. " You might also want to start warming Cossack up".
At the very same time doors of building started to open, showing giant nose of AN-225, codenamed Cossack. Massive plane remained still, resembling a sleeping dragon. A dragon able to lift 250000 kilograms of military hardware in fact.
"What for, sir? I think we can manage with Globemasters." Colonel smiled mysteriously.
"Those SW-4's won't transport by themselves, right?" Three, beige painted, SW-4 flew over head, speeding down the runway.
"Err, got it, sir." Low growl rolled across entire base. Cossack just started its engines.

Six hours later, three C-17 Globemasters packed to the roof with engineers and prefabricates, escorted by three MiG-29 planes, were already on their way to Mediterranean sea. Cossack, left behind, was scheduled to take off two hours later. Full platoon of JW Grozny operators with accompanying helicopters and enough ammo to conquer small country, soon would join BSDP forces, sabotaging ISIS forces and trying to stop escalation of conflict. Leader of Elektrogradian special forces unit, Kajetan Czajka, checked his kbs. Tarantula for any malfunctions. Rifle, though new, proved itself as quite impressive weapon, almost as reliable as AK series. They were ready, more than ever. There was one thing, which seemed to bother everyone on board. American involvement. Almost every news station showed Krajstalian and Modrovan ships, leaving port to intercept US carrier. Everyone knew that if US started war with BSDP entire middle east would plunge into chaos. And Kajetan decided not to be there when it happens.

Forward Position, Kirkuk, Iraqi Kurdistan

Specialist Hubert grunted as he heaved the duffel bag over the sandbag wall, flinching as incoming rounds snapped by his head. His platoon had been tasked with liaising with the local Peshmerga unit in order to establish lines of supply and communication. Korvan involvement in the war was now official, with a company sized element being deployed to Kirkuk alongside their Modrovan allies. Officially they were supposed to simply advise the Peshmerga and confirm targets for air strikes. In reality however they were fighting in the thick of it.

The Modrovan fire team to his left shouted a hoarse spasybi as they grabbed ammunition from the bag. Hubert smiled as the Modrovans unleashed a torrent of machine gun and rifle grenade fire on the jihadi skirmishers.

Couldn't have happened to nicer guys.

Latakia, Syria

"I'll need you to sign here and here then the shipment is yours" croaked out the Hwan-Bou's elderly cargo master as he handed the jumpy looking Syrian officer a few lose pieces of paperwork to sign and lit himself another cigarette. The Hwan-Bou had docked without incident and its vast cargo began moving into the long line of awaiting trucks despite the distant rumble of heavy gunfire and bursting artillery shells that seemed to permeate the entirety of Syria. On this trip the Hwan-Bou carried a vast mountain of desperately needed small arms ammunition which didn't require any specialized dockside facilities to unload besides a steady stream of trucks and militiamen with nothing better to do. Ammunition wasn't the only thing the elderly steel hulk carried, a far darker force lurked inside its metallic belly. That force was an agent of the Ministry of State Security and its directive was to assist in the destruction of religious radicals.

Scanning the Hwan-Bou's oil and rust scared decks from the narrow metal catwalk that ringed the ships bridge, Lt. Whong Bou pushed the sleep out of his eyes, pulled his lose fitting fatigues closer and began making his way towards shore. The twenty five year old lieutenant had been dispatched to be a liaison between Padnaki forces and the Syrian forces around the port of Latakia, so wasting no time he disembarked the Hwan-Bou, simple leather suitcase in hand, and made his way down the gangplank. Coughing slightly as the dust and fume filled air of the dock hit him Lt. Whong Bou walked over to a pile of empty wooden crates near the side of the dock to wait for his ride while the ship was unloaded. The unloading of a cargo ship filed with weapons was always an interesting affair, with men and machinery moving in every direction, but it barely caught the young lieutenants attention. The only thing on Bou's mind was how his upcoming meeting with the SAA officer responsible for the Syrian end of the shipments would go.

Sgt Luborek Korsakov and his squad were brought in a couple of days ago on board one of the Il-76s that had been running routes from Modrova to Erbil International Airport. His squad was structured as the following:

They met up with Korvan forces after getting off the plane and headed out with them to only find themselves in Kirkuk, being fired upon by ISIS forces from the south. Boris and Pashin made excellent use of their PKMs and managed to suppress some fire but not all of it. Their were about two technicals in the distance that just came in and were being nothing but nuance.

"Does anyone hear have the distance on those technicals?" Luborek shouted.

"Yea, they are roughly.... 300m." one of the Korvans responded.

"Spasybi, Pavlo can you make that shot?"

"Possibly, the RPG-22 only goes 250m at max but I'll give it a shot." Pavlo responded.

The RPG fired of and sailed to hit just next to the vehicles, enough to spray dirt and shrapnel onto the gunners and some foot solders.It managed to dampen up the amount of fire but it was still coming none the less. A Korvan Maksman in the back managed to pick off anyone who thought it was smart to take over MG duty. So far the deployment was starting to look like it was going to either be a long one or a fast and brutal one.

OSS Liberty

"So these guys want to play? We give them all we got then." said Rear Admiral Jonathan Fletcher as he walked to the bridge reading multiple intelligences reports as to BSDP movements in the region. Satellite imagery and Virginia Attack Subs had picked up a number of ships from the Black Sea Defense Pact moving to intercept and harass their movements. He had requested intructions from Fairford twelve hours ago via the Iridium network and was awaiting a response from them. He had, however already told the CAG to prepare for possible surface and air contacts in the next 12 hours. The OS Navy's carrier strike groups were among the most formidable in the world, made primarily of two fighter aircraft. One was the Boeing F/A-28E/F Tigershark, the world's most advanced naval fighter aircraft. Developed in the Early 2010s as a replacement for the venerable Super Hornet series, Boeing had created what was essentially a stealthy version of the Super bug. A technological marvel, the Tigershark was the most advanced combat aircraft on the planet at the moment, and Fletcher had 30 of them at his disposal. The rest of his combat aircraft were the venerable Lockheed Martin F-35C Lightning IIs, another equally-advanced multirole fighter that formed the backbone of OS Naval power.

F/A-28E Ready for Duty, off the Coast of Northern Cyprus

Lieutenant Junior Grade David "Grease" Bishop formed up with the other Tigersharks in a tight formation as they scanned the area with their AN/PG-77 radars for BSDP strike aircraft, more than likely MiGs, Sukhois, and old Yugoslav aircraft that looked more like trainers than they did strike aircraft. When configured in an air dominance loadout, the F/A-28 was more than the equal to the OSAF's F-22Gs. Packing a mighty punch of 6 AIM-120Ds and 2 AIM-9Xs, the E model was more than likely the premier fighter aircraft in the region. Then, multiple contacts began appear on the radars and green boxes began to appear on the pilots' HMDs. 6 Radar contacts, looking like Flankers and multiple transport aircraft on radar.

"Four Bogies, look like Flanker As with 76s in tow. Call out. Presume hostile intent." said Sentinel, the airboss aboard the E-2 that was providing AEW support for this flight of alert five fighters from the carrier.

"Roger that Sentinel. Fence in. Switching weapons to hot. Tomahawk 1-1 green." said Commander Shane Wilson, callsign Tomahawk 1-1 (lead).

"Fence in. Weapons hot. Tomahawk 1-2 green." said Lt. Adam Jacobs, callsign Tomahawk 1-2 (Lead Wing).

"Fence in. Weapons hot. Tomahawk 1-3 green." said Lt. Commander Oliver "Oli" Haroldson.

"Fence in. Weapons hot. Tomahawk 1-4 green." said Lt. Bishop, finishing off the preparing callout for engagement.

"Switch to AIM-120D and lock onto your bogies as called out." instructed Wilson as his pilots locked onto the Su-27 bogies. Now, they knew they were here.

Outside of Latakia, Syria

"Weapons hot, closing in on target." said one of the F-35A pilots as the two Lightning IIs came in at Supersonic speeds at low altitude. The F-35As both carried a set of 4 500lb JDAMs to deliver onto the SAA supply depot by the port. Moving too quickly to be fired upon by ground units and operating below SAM detection levels allowed for the OSAF fighters to deliver their payloads in manners much similar to those used during the Cold War. Except this time, the F-35As weren't trying to deliver nuclear armageddon. The supply depot and port facilites came closer and closer into view, along with multiple ships that appeared to be off-loading various equipment, that wasn't their target however. The depots were. As soon as the Lightning's nose came within forty meters of the warehouses, the pilot tipped off his weapons and the JDAMs flew into the side of warehouse. Then, the second pilot delivered his own and another four 500lbers flew into the warehouse. The warehouse exploded once as the two F-35As broke off from their attack, which was then promptly followed by dozens of secondary explosions went off, from what the pilots both assumed must have been ammunition and explosives.

Danluka - Republic of Austzeland - Presidential Palace, 12/20/2014 - 5:55 PM local time

Ahmadullah Bellic; who has been president of of Austzeland for nearly 2 months now, hasn't done much about the ISIS in Iraq & Syria, the latter of which being his ethnicity, since he was elected in to power. The former president, Oltis Javak, didn't do much about the Islamic State threat diplomatically nor militarily though he did threaten to do so. However, Ahmadullah was a new president; and he made a promise to his nation that if he gained power he would become more active and harsh with the nation's foreign affairs. He had called up the commander-in-chief of the Austzeland Defense Forces to his office to discuss the options available for what they could do [militarily] against the ever-growing threat of the ISIS.

A man, who was about 6'1 tall and wore his standard dress uniform walked in to the presidential office. It was Colonel Viktor Spiegelmann. Right after entering he quickly saluted, and continued to walk towards Bellic's desk. Taking a seat on a leather office chair, he got comfortable and greeted the president.

"Good evening Mr. Bellic. You have finally chosen to take action against the Islamic State, from what I hear." The colonel asked the president.

"Yes, you are correct Colonel Spiegelmann. I want to discuss our options." Ahmadullah Bellic replied.

"Well, hope you're comfortable; because this is gonna take at least an hour or so."

***An hour and a half later***

"...and thus, I can order the Luftwaffe to call up about... 10 or so Rafales and possibly around 4 Tornados to fly to Turkey; and from there conduct sorties against Islamic State targets such as infrastructure, bases, and so on. Aerial refueling tankers and aircraft to transport their ordnance will also tag along with them for the flight. We'll be working alongside several other air forces too so we can conduct more missions without as high risk. If you choose to also, I can order the Marine to ready up some guided missiles destroyers of ours and target enemy positions with cruise missiles. It's all up to me and you, Mr. Bellic." The colonel finished. So far, Ahmadullah Bellic had heard 3 options, and he liked the sounds of the most recent one the best; which was the 3rd option.

"Well, colonel Spiegelmann... I like the sounds of option three the best."

The colonel was quite happy to hear. "A wise choice. First we're going to require diplomatic permission from Turkey to land our aircraft at an airbase or two of theirs, and then permission from Iraq and Syria to conduct sorties against the Islamic State. I reccomend you get to it quickly, however."

"I will get to work on a diplomatic letter to both Kuwait and Iraq as soon as I can, colonel. But for now, you are dismissed." The president said to Spiegelmann.

"Thanks much, Mr. Bellic. I'll get to it." With that the colonel stood up, put his maroon-colored beret back on his head, and proceeded to exit the room; and afterwards the palace.

12/21/2014 - Luftwaffe And Marine to Conduct Strikes Against ISIL in Iraq And Syria

Pictured above: A Dassault Rafale multirole fighter takes off towards Turkey, as part of Operation Marlin.

Today, the president has announced that the Austzeland Luftwaffe (Air force) and Marine (Navy) will begin to conduct operations against Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq. This news comes as Ahmadullah Bellic has promised to become "more active in foreign affairs".

As of now, not much is known about what is being called [i]Operation Marlin by Austzelandi military officials, though it is known that several Austzeland Luftwaffe aircraft have taken off towards Turkey. It is suspected that targets for the Luftwaffe over Iraq and Syria against the ISIS is military depots, camps, infrastructure, and other equipment being used for military purposes.

According to the commander-in-chief of the Austzeland Defense Forces, Austzelandi air forces in Turkey could begin striking ISIS targets by the 25th or 26th of December. Along with this, Austzelandi naval forces will begin to leave Austzeland by the 24th of this month to strike ISIL targets with cruise missiles.

"With enough cooperation between a coalition of nations, the Islamic State could be defeated within the next several months. Compared to other Jihadist organizations such as the Taliban, the Islamic State sometimes uses conventional military tactics to maneuver their forces; making them more vulnerable to strikes from aircraft and cruise missiles." Colonel Spiegelmann, commander in chief of the ADF stated today.

More info on Operation Marlin will be posted right here on AAN Austzeland as it becomes available to the public.

MiG-29UB, Above Southern Krajstali

Transport squadron, carrying materials for Cyprus base, was escorted by three MiG-29UB, good, old soviet machines upgraded to NATO and BSDP standards. Those fighters were told to be on a par with F-16's and even newer aircrafts. Piloted by experienced pilots, they were truly formidable enemy.

Onboard radio came to life.
"Pirat 1-3, come in" It was their mission controller. Pirat 1-3, Grzegorz Sosnowski, sighed and switched on his helmet mounted microphone.
"Pirat 1-3, reading you loud and clear."
"Depart from current position and head toward Blufor squadron near Cyprus, sending navigation package now."
"Copy that" He checked the package. It seemed that Modrovan squadron was in trouble. Some Su-27 and transport aircrafts, similar mission to theirs.
Upgraded MiG's, armed to teeth with various AA weapon, slightly changed their course, heading south-east, quickly gaining speed. Grzegorz didn't like the fact, that they were leaving rest of the squadron unattended, even though Krajstalian anti-air defence system would deter any bogeys.
"Good luck, guys. We have multiple contacts, possibly Tigersharks.
"Roger that."
"Do not, I reapet, do not fire, unless fired upon." Operator paused "Good luck, gentlemen."
Someone, probably Pirat-2 turned on the music on his MP-3 player.
"Pirat en route" Grzegorz smiled as adrenaline filled his veins.

"Hang in there, guys, cavalry is coming"

Elektrogradian MiG-29UB

Mikoyan MiG-29M, Adriatic Sea

Crvenagrad was on high alert after being informed that OS had dared to challenge the BSDP's power by commencing attacks on BSDP Forces within the Region. The Military had raised it's DEFCON to 2 in which was the second highest DEFCON level since 1 during the Civil War. Many Westerners say that Soviet Equipment was mostly junky even those from the 70s to the 90s, that was of course until an F-117 Lockheed was shot down by an Obsolete S-125 Neva/Pechora which had turned the tide of the Krajstalian Civil War and had resulted in the ultimate victory over America . Ever since then, the Nation had promised that such an event of America's intervention would not occur once more and if it did then the KPA would always be ready. Many KPAF Pilots had seen expirience from the American Bombardment Campaign of '95, since then they had passed down onto intelligence from what the Weaknesses of American jets were. From Airbase "Skanderbeg" in Albanska two Squadrons of veteran pilots who had defended the Skies of Krajstali from American Aggressors had scrambled onto MiG 29Ms licensed from Russia. Super Fulcrum was it's NATO reporting name among others, a feared name thrust into the hearts of Western Pilots.

The two Squadrons named Janjičar and Bura had encountered an Allied Squadron of Elektrogradian Aircraft, whom they as well are using variants of the MiG 29. The pilot of Bura 2-4 had informed the leader of the Mission Janjičar 1 about the other Jets.
"Janjičar 1, we have friendlies in sight. Some other Fulcrums as well"
"I read you Bura 2-4,This is KPAF Pilot Major Klaudio Aleksandar identify yourselves over"
It took a few seconds before a reply boomed back from the Elektrogradian Squadron.
"Affirmative,This is Pirat 1-3, Grzegorz Sosnowski. Glad you could join the party Major, we're responding to a call from Modrovan Su-27 who are in trouble. I assume you have the same Task?"
"Affirmative,Janjičar and Bura. Follow Pirat Squadron, we're on the same Mission as theirs"
"I read you Janjičar 1-4" replied Bura 1-4
He then made an announcement to both Janjičar and Bura Squadrons inviting Pirat as well.
"You're listening to KPAF Radio on 106.90 with DJ Goran, delivering you the top Balkan hits since 1992. We now have a Request from our Dear friend the Yankees with a note here saying "SHOOT ME", we here at KPAF are generous to deliver such a wish and we shall do so shortly, please join us as we have guests from the Elektrogradian Air Force"
Only a few seconds later Goran broke out his MP3 as well and had hooked it to the Radio which started to play from his collection of Music.
"It's one hell of a Slavic Reunion my friends, we only need the Modrovans then the real party can start. To our Yankee Friends, We will drown them!"

Damascus Air Base,Arab Republic of Syria
"This is Captain Bojan Damic of Mother Bear 1-2 of the Krajstalian People's Air Force, requesting permission to land on Damascus Air Base"
"Confirmed Mother Bear 1-2, Permission granted. Merhabaa bakum fisouria." (Welcome to Syira)
The Antonov AN-12 slowly begun it's descent to the Sandy Airbase in the hands of Assad's Forces, being that the Ceasefire between the FSA and the SAA is unconfirmed yet it was not safe for the KPAF to land in an airbase held by the FSA in which most of the Rebel fighters would not even know how to fly.
Inside the Transport were the chosen people for turning the Tide of war to ISIS. WO Nataša Darinka of the VDS Airborne Forces and First Lieutenant Ernest Borislav of the KPN's Soko Naval commandos, both are from Krajstali's deadliest and effective Special Forces groups in which according to some are on the level of the Russian Spetsnaz and VDV (Which the VDS was actually closely modeled upon) as both have mixed training and execution techniques from both Russia and several Western Special forces along with several of their own, the Cargo doors of the AN-12 slowly begun to open blinding the eyes of the people inside causing Ernest to pull out a pair of shades before offering a spare to Nataša
"Heh, No thanks" she shrugged.

The Team under the designation "Varangian" had stepped out onto the heat of the Syrian desert as the crew of the Airbase begun to pull out Cargo from the two AN-12's as they unload crates of Zastava Weaponry and Explosive Ammunition to be sent to ISIS with Real rounds to be used by Allied Forces. A man with the Rank of Major General had been driven from a part of the base to where Mother Bear had landed, a name tag that read "Maj. Gen. Yusuf" was visible on his coat.
"Greetings Comrades, Doctor Bashar sends his regards. I am Major General Yusuf" the Man introduced

"So does Marshal Karadsevic, First Lieutenant Ernest Borislav and Warrant Officer Nataša Darinka at your service"
The three of them exchanged hands as the General had toured them around the Airbase, he led Varangian Squad to a barracks as he helped them to settle in.
"You can begin training my men at anytime if you wish, their priorities are both physical and mental fitness, firing a Rifle and others. If you need anything just come up to me, I will be more than happy to help any of you"
With a salute, Yusuf had left Varangian all to themselves.
"Alright, at the crack of dawn we'll get up and get the SAA alongside the NDF to do some warm-ups. Give them the regular infantry training until Noon where we'll give them amphibious training, by evening we'll switch to the Syrian Commandos,note that we are all not going to train Soldiers all the time during our stay gentlemen. We're gonna conduct Sabotage missions if possible alongside our regional allies if we can reach them, note that a majority of the Syrian Army not to mention the populace are Muslims both Shia and Sunni, it is custom that we respect them. They will allow us to Drink but not near the major presence of Muslims, you have the rest of the day to settle in"

Somewhere en route to Turkey - Over the Black Sea, 12/24/2014 - 0932 local time

A pair of 6 Dassault Rafale multirole fighters and 3 all of which bearing the roundel of the Austzelandi Luftwaffe on top of and under both of their wings flew in a wedge formation several thousand meters above the waters in the Black Sea, en route to the Incirlik airbase in Turkey. It was decided a while ago that instead of sending all Austzelandi aircraft to Kuwait, another Panavia Tornado would be deployed; bumping the number of the total up to 6. 6 out of the 12 Dassault Rafales would go to Kuwait, while the other half went to Turkey; along with 3 Tornados being sent to Kuwait with the other half being sent to Turkey. This was to increase the Luftwaffe's capability to bombard targets within ISIL controlled territory to weaken the enemy's infrastructure and command and the frontlines to weaken the enemy's offensive and defensive capabilities.

All the Rafales and Tornados flying packed lightly for weapons on their trip. They carried 3 external fuel tanks; 1 of them being under the fuselage and the other 2 under both wings of their aircraft. The Tornado fighter-bombers carried 2 AIM-132 air-to-air missiles, and the Rafale multirole fighters carried 2 MBDA MICA air to air missiles along with ammo for both aircraft's cannons, in the event that they were fired upon for whatever reason. Though, the flight was almost complete; thus rendering this event nearly impossible now.

The airbase came into view. Aircraft carrying the Austzelandi fighter jet's ordnance, ammo and other essentials had already landed by now and were probably even unloading and meeting with the base's commanders by now. The leader of the formation, Master Warrant Officer Heinz, switched his comms so that he would be speaking to the airbase's air control tower.

"Kornes 1-1 to Incirlik tower, Kornes 1-1 to Incirlik tower. Requesting permission and clearance for landing on runway. Over." Heinz spoke over his comms. Within about a moment a reply came.

"Kornes 1-1, Kornes 1-1, this is Incirlik tower. Permission and clearance granted. Please land at runway A-1. Out."

Soon after, all the Austzelandi jets maneuvered near the airbase to get a good position to land on the runway they were instructed to. All of the aircraft would land one at a time and proceed to park at the hangars that were available. Within nearly a day or two, the Luftwaffe that was now stationed in Turkey and Kuwait could conduct combat operations against the ISIL. Thankfully, they weren't alone. Organized States, Britain, Canada, and several other nations were conducting operations alongside other friendly militarys.

Off the Coast of Northern Cyprus

The lock on warnings in the cockpits of the Su-27s started to blare and flash.

"Layno!" Viktor exclaimed. "Who's locking us up?"

"I don't know scoops are clean." Mykhail answered.

"Must be OS stealth aircraft." Viktor concluded."We aren't close to land and we aren't close to Syria either."

"We need to do something and fast." Spartak nervously said.

"I'm going to try and talk them down." Viktor started to adjust the radio frequency to an open channel.

"Attention unidentified aircraft, the flight of aircraft you are targeting is a flight of four Su-27s and one An-26 transport of the Republic of Modrova. We have no hostile intentions toward you or your ships, we are here to aid in the no-fly zone and blockade set upon by the Black Sea Defense Pact along with one Modrovan destroyer ship that is currently escorting two civilian ships to help in the evacuation of Syrian refugees. I repeat, we have no hostile intentions toward you or your ships. Our nation is a part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. We have no reason to engage fellow NATO members. Our presents is only to try and help find some way of bring a peaceful resolution to the conflict and to aid the nations that were hit the hardest by this conflict in their effort to solve this issue. ISIS is the enemy of all the factions, including the FSA. The Assad regime is of no interest to us nor is the FSA but if they can find some middle ground to be on, they can work together to remove ISIS from Syrian soil. The BSDP is in the process of negotiating this treaty to bring them together and once the threat of ISIS is removed, the FSA will have political officials to represent the faction being placed within the reformed government of Syria. Striking ISIS first is the main goal and should be the main goal. They are a larger threat to your nation, my nation and the rest of the world. I repeat again, Modrova has zero hostile intentions toward you, your ships or your nation. Over."

The radio cracked with silence.

KS Constantine, 10 km south of the Dardanelles

Bitterly cold wind whipped across the deck of the aircraft carrier as the ordnance men worked to ready the next flight of F-35B's. Four of the naval fighters were on the deck, ready to take off in support of the no-fly zone. The carrier group, a single carrier supported by two destroyers and three frigates, had just transited the Dardanelles and was steaming south quickly to intercept the much publicized American CAG.

There wasn't a single Korvan on board who looked forward to tangling with the Organized States, but they had strict orders to enforce the no-fly zone so that the tripartite ceasefire might hold. The rash actions of American politicians had endangered the entire agreement, which was forged as a response to the threat of ISIL. So it was with grim faces that the Korvan pilots took off, their aircraft screaming towards the heavens.

Northwest of Mosul - Northern Iraq, 12/25/2014 - 0010 local time

The Christmas night over northern Iraq draped the desert ground; of which was controlled de-facto by the Islamic State. However, the night was not so quiet northwest of Mosul. A flight of 2 Panavia Tornado IDS fighter-bombers roared in the sky. Both of these aircraft, codenamed Balkoz 1-1 and Balkoz 1-2 (1-1 being piloted by Warrant Officer Schmitz and 1-2 being piloted by Sergeant Fresenius) carried a heavy payload of ordnance, fitted on these 2 particular jets to destroy what appeared to be an ISIL convoy consisting of about 4 Ural 6x6 trucks carrying ammunition, protected by 3 technicals and a single T-54/55 main battle tank, all the technicals being Toyota Hilux pickups armed with either a DShKM HMG or PKM GPMG.

The vehicles moved in a column formation, with 1 technical and the T-54/55 tank at the front of the convoy and the other 2 at the rear of the convoy with the Ural trucks in between.The ordnance of both the Tornado IDS fighter-bombers consisted of two AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, 12 Brimstone air-to-surface missiles, and 3 GBU-12 Paveway II bombs. With this payload, both the jets could take out a convoy much larger, or maybe even a base of some sort. Though that was not the mission tonight. And this was the first Austzelandi airstrike in Iraq that was about to be conducted.

"Balkoz 1-2 to Balkoz 1-1, I have eyes on target convoy heading southwards. They don't know we're here yet, how copy?" Sgt. Fresenius informed WO. Schmitz.

"Balkoz 1-1 to Balkoz 1-2, solid copy. I have eyes on target too. Stand-by for further order, over."

About a moment passed by, and the two Austzelandi aircraft lined up with the convoy so they were flying towards the enemy from the side. They were both about 4 kilometers away from the enemy now, which was far enough for the weapons being used by the two aircraft.

"Balkoz 1-1 to Balkoz 1-2, master arms on. Lock on to and engage the T-55 at the front first, and I'll target on of the Ural trucks in the middle. Use Brimstone missile. Over." Schmitz ordered his wingman.

"Copy that. Locking on to target." Fresenius replied. "Damn, looks like it's got ERA." He thought to himself. Thankfully the brimstone missiles were tandem HEAT; specifically designed for defeating explosive reactive armor.

"Balkoz 1-1 to 1-2, engage at will, give them hell over!" The Warrant Officer exclaimed over the communications. Almost immediately after he fired off a Brimstone missile towards his first target.

"Fox three! Fox three!" Sergeant Fresenius also exclaimed over the comms as he fired off a missile towards the T-54/55 tank. A little while after, he locked onto another target as the ISIS-operated tank blew up in a fireball after being penetrated by the AGM missile; it's turret flying off and landing a couple meters to the right side of the tank. The two pilots noticed a gigantic explosion from the first ammunition truck; which sparked a chain reaction for all the other ammunition trucks to explode; evidently swallowing the other technicals up with them in the fireball. The technical that was right behind the destroyed tank crashed into the T-54/55 though, due to the speed it was going at and the time it had to react; which was very minimal.

"Whoa!! Holy FUCK!" The Sgt. simply said in a voice which made him seem surprised by the outcome.

"Good effect on target. Let's return to base now." Warrant Officer Schmitz replied. With that, they both began their flight back to base, with only 2 missiles being fired; out of the 12 missiles they had.
