There are about 30 or so Speicnaz operators in the helicopter waiting optimistically for the looming firefight. Their goal is simply to kill or capture Assaladin Isabad one of the remaining high ups in the Islamic state, Ever since the head of the snake was cut off the Islamic state has struggled to be organized and coordinated. In the end, if the mission goes to plan this should severely cripple the Islamic state's control and stability in the region. The men know that some of them will not make it back but die trying in the operation.
20 Miles From Chancin In A MI-8MTV-3
[Kasik] Men! we are going to be accompanied by 64 airborne infantrymen after we land on hill 136 who are also on there way in two other helicopters. They will set up a perimeter for the LZ and help fight our way down the hill then defend the LZ and then we will work our way into the city then find Assaladin.
[Pilot] We are approaching the LZ!
[Kasik] Everyone get your shit together and get out quick!
[Vadim] Fuck yeah let's do this and kick some insurgent ass *slaps down titanium visor on helmet and loads AK-107*
[Kasik] Go! Go! Go!
All the men get out of the helicopter and set up a lookout and wait for the other two MI-8s to arrive with the 64 Airborne Infantry to help defend the LZ.
[Vachloc] Finally the support has arrived!
[Kasik] Just about the time we have been waiting for 10 minutes and we expect resistance any minute now because they heard the Helicopters.
Kasik talks to the Airborne Infantry squad leaders and tells them where they need to be and what they need to do due to changed plans. The Airborne Infantry set up defense positions including some sandbags and 2 KORDs and one AGS-30. After a bit of waiting for the attack bullets whiz by in the air. An RPG round flys by and nearly misses the KORD position the KORD gunner looks down the sight and turns it to where the RPG came from and open up fire on a small group of 3 men ripping them to shreds with the 12.7mm rounds. Groups of insurgents in 3 start trying to flank the position the 1st and 2nd group flank left and the 3rd and 4rth flank right, the airborne infantry hold off the attack.
[Yarik] The first and second group are in cover behind that group of rocks!
[Wasyl] They are pushing keep firing!
Yarik starts to reload his AK-107 then gets shot in the head through the helmet by an insurgent. Wasyl pulls Yariks lifeless body behind cover where the rest of the dead and injured are and checks his pulse there is no he could do. At that moment the Speicnaz push the insurgents down the hill while the Airborne Infantry holds the hill in case of a counter-attack. The Speicnaz arrive in the outskirts of Chancin
[Kasik] Vadim I need you to go to that wall of that building and peek out
[Vadim] There is a technical get the RPG ready!
[Savva] RPG is armed!
Savva fires the RPG and the technical gets destroyed in a fireball.
[Borislav] We got a firesquad of 12 in a fortified position at the end of the street and the got our second group pinned!
[Vadim] The 4 of us could enter the buildings and find a way around the fortification and then attack them from the sides.
Vadim, Kasik, Savva, and Borislav prepare to clear the first building and burst the door open and throw concussion grenades in. Vadim enters the building first with Savva right be his side a shot rings out from a corner and hits Vadim in helmet and it hits his titanium ballistic visor, Savva returned fire with 3 shots into the hiding insurgents torso. Vadim was unharmed but only shook from the shot which came from a submachine gun. They proceed to clear the rest of the building and find no more insurgents in that building. The men then gain a vantage point on the Fortification of the squad of 12 insurgents, Borislav then sets up his RPK-74 and Savva readies his RPG. Savva fired the RPG hitting a machinegun position killing 4 men, Borislav opens up fire with his RPK-74 and suppresses the enemy Krasik radioed the 2nd group and they moved forward pushed and set charges up on the edge of the fortification and got behind cover then blew the fortification up killing the remaining 8 insurgents. The men slowly start to advance to the apartment building where Assaladin is in. They later found out that 2 members of the 2nd group were killed by a trap grenade.
[Kasik] Ok guys we made it this far don't get yourselves fucking killed now it is almost over!
[Vadim] We can do this!
Kasik, Vadim, Savva, and Borislav clear the first floor oddly enough with no opposition. They move up to the second floor and Borislav is almost shot from a room at the end of a hall, Vadim throws an RGN grenade into the room and kills an insurgent. An Insurgent peep's out of a door Kasik spotted him and shot him through the drywall. They then found a door blocked up Savva set up a charge and blew the door. Vadim threw 2 concussion grenades into the room and they rushed in and shot 6 insurgents guarding another door that lead to a second room, The men prepare to open the door.
[Vadim] This is fucking it!
[Borislav] It is really happening.
[Kasik] When we return we will be heroes!
They burst down the door and throw a concussion grenade in the room they see a man confirmed to be Assaladin with a woman in his arms pointing a pistol at them. He starts speaking in the local dialect the men can't understand.
[Kasik] Let her go!
[Borislav] Put down the pistol! *raises his RPK-74 and gets shot in the arm and shoulder by Assaladin*
[Vadim] You fucker! *shoots Assaladin in the neck*
Krasik pulls the woman off of Assaladin and the 2nd group takes her into custody. Krasik, Vadim, Savva, and Borislav take a picture with Assaladin's body. They put Assaladins Body in a body bag then onto a stretcher and grab his documents and pistol then rush back to the LZ evading fire with support of the second group. In total 23 soldiers are evacuated for injuries or death including the Airborne Infantry.
