  • STORY:

With the partial success of last week’s operation most Denovian supply convoys can now pass through MSR Red without loss of supplies, though they are still frequently harassed by small arms fire and IEDs. More pressingly, the direct and bloody S7 operation has lit a fire beneath the partisans. Our air power scared them specifically as it allowed us to locate their camps with relative ease, and they are now putting all of their effort into denying our air supremacy.

 

The increase in partisan AA activity directly threatens S7’s ability to fulfill our contract and has also been annoying our employer as their own aviation assets have encountered the odd AA fire transiting to or from the frontlines of the war. Thus, the destruction of the partisan AA capability is our primary aim as of now.
