Langley, Virginia

"For the second time, huh?"

"I know its unbelievable, Commander Bishop..."

Will's new and higher ranked friend, Brigadier General Nathaniel Goudie, sighed before he continued with the real business.

"I just got called from Major General Mitchell last night, he said he'll take over Brown's 'Thundering Nerds' at the Horn of Africa", "So Colonel Brown will be here?" Bishop asked, "Tomorrow, Commander!" Goudie replied plainly before sipping his caffe latte as he looked from the ATC building two black Forward swept wing fighters about to land at the Airforce Base housing the 1st Fighter Wing. "Did Mitchell said anything about me?" Bishop asked the commander of the 15th Special Ops Battalion of JSF, "Yeah he did. Brown, Salvatore and Dersnah would stay here and make sure the FLA stay away from the Mexico City. You Commander...regarding the sighting of that..." Goudie used his hands to describe huge things, "that huge flying pieces of shits... A car is waiting for you, you'll go to DC, someone wished to chat with you", Will slightly grin and nodded with that remark before he back to his formal tone on saying "Yes sir!", then leave inside. Were my eyes playing foul on me that day he asked himself, is what I saw there were for real he thought.

The brigadier general remark on something very big, a big airplane to be exact but far huge than even the russian An-225.

And its true.

Friday August 14th 2026

It was then confirmed, just now confirmed since the killing of the colombian president Andrea Celaya at bogota, now others had already happened at Bolivia, Chili, Venezuela and Peru. By that time the new joint opposition were risen up against its neighboring country before stepping forward to the United States, hung up the new flag and new name, 'Federacion el Latina America'. Within a week the federation wiped out not only fighters, its everyone loyal to their former leader, Paraguay were fallen few days after, Argentina and Brazil still held their foothold on most of their lands, fighting endlessly against the endlessly coming attacks. Honduras, Cuba and quarter of Mexico were unfortunate to stand a chance.

Sucre, Bolivia

August 30th 2026, 6.30am Local Time

There were three soldiers, holding a 7.62 FN FNC with RDS that aimed to the rounded wife and husband protecting in fear their sole boy no older than nine, innocent, confused, they didn't do anything harmful, nor they stand on anybodies path on whatever their cause was, but why this? There weren't just three soldiers wore olive green OpsCore, dressed in tan old school uniform strapped with black US Tactical Assaulter Vest, there were also two more men in same strapping but not with helmet, one bare headed and the other wear a red beret, with insignia on their shoulder signifying the high mark within the federation of latin american military. The bare head officer picked his sidearm on his waist silently to extent none of the soldiers noticing it, the husband know one of them is gonna be shot at, he moved slightly so its only him appeared clearly for clean and cold kill.

A bang resonated the currently empty urban where there's been a sighting of shooting between cartel and small elite soldiers protecting a VIP, birds scared away with the loud thump from the sidearm fire nearby.

One bullet from the SG P226 were launched out to the chest of the husband, his wife and son were surely dreaded by the horror in their very own face, their supposedly guardian were laid down the dirt road of the market. Its not enough, for normal soldiers the husband and his family were just a commoners, supposedly left alone, they're not a treath to whatever they doing here, they were just wantes to avoid crossfires, but for the shooter, they're traitor, they were not the one stand behind for the Federation, whatever they do is not a single one for the new latin america superpower that currently developing fast, and that is not this general not liking even one small bite. The P226 were shifted towards the wife, even in her 33 or so she still as beautiful as what commonly aged 25 to 30, but that didn't stop him, all he could think were perfect powers of his new banner.

Again the same thump were thundering around, then the general that about to kill the husband's love fallen to the ground, eyes were still opened with a blood dirtied hole between his eyes on his forehead, the four soldier looked around to where the shot came from, it was to the empty building with broken windows on the other side they found the young man around 32, he bears no insignia shoulder by his same tan dress with same vest and pouches but the three soldier were backed in shock and fear to the young man who shoot the FN45 pistol very precisely that the dead man look like died without noticing the last exact moment hits him, "Commander Aspar!" The beret man noted the young man walk hastily in anger to the rounding four, dead stop face to face with eyes straight to the beret man, "Commander...I...", "Three of you leave to your base, Now!" Aspar ordered the soldier while still looking in angst to the dead man's second in command, and just in sudden his vision blurred showing world tilted sideways, then pain linger on his cheek for long, the blur were gone, he realize the commander just hit him, "You pathetic! You cannot stop your...Puta Boss...from killing innocent peoples" the young man growled to the older man proned to ground with left cheek painted red from the, "Ah...I forgot...you're among many of those can't sacrifice your life against your wrongful boss. A coward hoping to grasp power and..." His word were cut to stop as suddenly the bright blue skies above him were darkened, shadowing the entire market streegs from the giant flying fortress above him, the Aigaion (AC6 P-1112) with its four Kottos class escorts, the mother and her son dropped their jaw by the five flying giants seeing right by their own eyes, the Federation's wildcard superweapons easily and effortlessly win them many recent wars against those not along with the new power bears a flag of two tone dark red and dark blue with rounding stars on the center, lent by someone, commander aspar does not know whose that someone, nor the leader of the federation have any clue about it. When the shadow had stop blanketed the four they heard a faint rumble from the downtown, faint helicopter rotors rumble that getting closer, faster, and expected by the young man. Soon the Mi-55 Locust with Federation flag on its tail appeared upon them floating forward right above the market, passing above it were four jet powered Tu-3 UAVs leaving four trails that stays up for short time, two soldiers armed with the 7.62 FNC coming out from the opened left hatch followed by another red beret man, big muscled colonel with tan skin come to him with expression say he has something he want aspar to know now, and that was his presence is requested at the chilean Atacama desert where their sophisticated command center stand up, unexpected to him that the big man announce to him "Now you're also the youngest Brigadier Generale in the world, first ever in the Latina federacion" the colonel smiled to him, "Oh..." Promotion didn't indulge him at all, all that ranks or making name is not why he stick with the federation, put aside to that "Colonel Rio, I want you to take her and the kid to Chiloe before we go to the Command center", the big man looked to the young mother and her son stop dead before they can leave, he getting to understand with that request when he saw a dead civic and general laid before them, "Si generale".

The armored helicopter boarded the new brigade general and the surviving family left the red faced colonel with two dead bodies besides him, he dreaded with what's before him, felt humiliated..

And guilty.

Somewhere inside North Korea

FOB Partridge/Tiger Cage

October 22nd 2026, 7.24am Local Time

Nice morning, Blue skies and serene Green views at where the Enemy forces trying to snatch the Chinese civilians came from, above the northern gate are the Decision maker for Team Hunter whose enjoying a coffee and chicken sandwich, beside him were a blonde japanese looking woman in UCP Stalker Mk.2 field uniform with nickname Wild Fang (1st Lt. Rebecca Vazquez), she enjoying the same meal and coffee as him. Almost like kozak...she were raised in Mexico by her parents who were japanese. The Tiger Cage were now temporarily rechristened to Forward Operating Base Partridge, named after the captain of the USS Clarence E. Walsh that killed by the North korean missile triggered by an american, the FOB has been altered with ladders and stairs attached to pillars connecting the walls for patrols, as well additional guard post built by sandbags above all two gates and access via two stairs. The facility where Mitchell meet sung were used as the Command center, garage were used as the armory, the barracks? It still remain as the barracks, unused facility were left alone except with security systems in case there were intruders making the whole place were unforgiving for anyone trying to break into it unless they got EMP weapons or something else. "I can't believe we're plunged for the first time onto the Third Korean War" she put a slight smile and blowed a whiff from ther cold, terms of Third Korea War were funny to her somehow, the second one is where Mitchell stopped a bombing attempt at Hamhung reservoir, and many more when there's large bounty on Jung's head, yet now america facing another civil war, nonetheless no hint of another Cold War.

Meanwhile in the armory...

Maj. Fergusons favourite song blared partial section of the room, "I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy". It was Geckos MP3 Player connected to a Small Speaker he found inside the camp, the MP3 owner is cleaning his 416 10in carbine accompanied by Kozak, Freddie and Alicia who cleaned her and Andrews rifle.

"Major Cedric! LT Rebecca!" Coming from the Command center is Capt. Ross with Tablet PC on his right hand accompanied by a near bald rather chinese looking korean Captain Park Hye-Sung whose also called Gecko said "Morning, Major" to Cedric as he and she meet them. "What is it, Captn?", "you sir had a new tasking order". Additional patrols were added employed Joint Strike Forces that coming two hours after the chinese extraction.

Inside the ComCent are all Ghosts and White Skull Brigades watching the 3 minutes duration video of Attack in various locations with all of them watched scenes of giant aircrafts vaporized EFEC and JSFs Fighter Jets instantly, rendered them shocked in that particular part. As the show is over, question began emerged from their thoughts "umm...what's the codename given by The Air Standardization Coordination Committee of those big planes?" Matilda asked, "Big?! You called it Big!?" 30 quipped, Ross replied "Its not the ASCC who named it and...they don't exist anymore or if they do still exist...I bet they know nothing about it, Li. 'Aigaion'..that was the name Intel able to dig. I want none of you ask where they built, or whose fund it. That...we all do not know. Don't ask me how to take it down either, that answer is not provided by the Top..but its the next mission would provide one", then came the question by Gecko "so what's the Op? We're ready even now", the former SEAL paused for a second and sighed disbelieve with the tape "...so, people...Lieutenant General mitchell tasked us a Recon Op. Separately simple, there's mole in moscow with info that small numbers of non-critical and critical reports regarding the new sighting were spread to russian allied nations including pyongyang. Ghosts been assigned to left FOB Partridge at 1750 hours, infiltrate for any kind of intel inside the gulag near...uu...Whatever Kamchatsky, General is about to appraised president Nikanor about this but we don't have time to wait for greenlight. Deployment in RHIB via V-25 Goshawk Eight miles from the beachhead and continue on water to the designated waypoint when reach Mile one. Same time with the ghosts reach the Mile one, White skulls will Infiltrate from the designated observation position to the designated area within the Camp 22 and look for intel as well. These location were reported to provide intelligences about the Aigaions Systems and defenses, as well its four escort planes, Any questions?", all were silent with determination looking, their next mission is politically dangerous especially for the ghosts there, Russia were getting closely with US as well as the european since the election at 2026, the first one furiated the russians badly, especially the military. "We're ready for this" 30 make a noise to the former SEAL, "Alright ladies and gentlemen...get some rests. Make sure you have a enough Breakfast now, and don't forget for Lunch at 1300 and 1600 hours, because you're going to needed it" the men and women of two SFs leave the ComCent and back to their activities. "Have you ever seen anything like that, Major?" Ross asked Cedric, "Nah...not in real life, only in movies. That thing is...too gigantic to fly, had no idea how they built that shit", "You think it some kind of Flying aircraft carrier or something?", "Could be yeah, could be no, could be anything. Anyway, since we're about to leave do they got any replacement here?", "Yeah, MSOCs could make a good use of this base during our mission, could compensate the lack of us", the two walk together to the canteen near the barracks, with Gecko joined them on the way for breakfast with menu of Potato porridges, chicken, beef sandwiches and choice of energy drinks, beers and juices. The JSF were deployed in twelve men for patrol around the FOB and the nearby village that liberated by them two nights ago, villages that sympathetic to the legitimate government forced to allow the coup occupation, there the US socialize with locals, buying food supplies and some merchandise. There was no war today.

No war at all yet.

North Pacific sea

2 Miles from Petropavlovsk Kamchatky, Russia

7.30pm Local time

The MV-25 were hovering forward very low, the cargo ramp were greasing the water, the RHIB were slide out behind with all eight men and women onboard already. "Clear!" The cargo crew notified, the twin engined tilt-rotor aircraft turned left going away southeast with its cargo accelerate towards Kamchatka.

They got an encrypted message coming in.

"Commander Kiril has been informed about the situation, he dispatched support units to assist your mission. They're already standing by near the beachhead where you're to approach, change of plans : RV with Zoya 1"

Captain Ross, the RHIB driver paced up little bit the boat towards the beach ahead. A ping sound occurred from device strapped behind their Urban UCP SPCS (Soldier Plate Carrier System) to their BDU turned visually invisible, Hunter Team led by Maj. Ferguson wearing Stalker Mk.4, same with Hee-eun while Captain Ross had his team Keating and Wild Fang with Emerson AOR2 except Matilda whose in all Black Track stuits and Winston in gray jeans and her hunting jacket, each of them except Ross have their CompM4 attached SR-3 Vikhr aimed towards the beachhead.

Somewhere at Bering Sea

RFS Kuznetsov

"Control to 821 and 827, switch to Oka Nieba control"

Two grayish white MiG-29Ks were taken off from Kuznetsov aircraft carrier toward Kamchatka, it keep climbing until reach angles 10, currently twice above the clouds. "821 to Oka Nieba, we're awaiting orders" said the lead plane pilot Col. Dimitri Sokov, "This is Oka Nieba, maintain your course" he replied, currently fly an Su-34 with Jamming Tubes and an Electronic pod under its centerline pylon, its defended by eight Jammer tubes equipped Su-27Ms armed with six R-74ERs and six R-77VV-AEs. The Fulcrums were each armed with four R-74s, two R-77s and four Kh-25Ts that able to be operated by either the flight officer or the weapons officer, the reason both pilots flown without the backseat occupied.

On the beachhead

The ten ghosts have uncloacked and Rendezvous with ten Gruppa alfa operatives armed with AS-VALs and the EXP2 Holo sight, these men were fitted with Splitter Jungle uniform, Russian made Vest and like the ghost too they're covered in Balaclava, Helmets and Augmented Reality. "Anyone in charge of this unit?" The leader ask in typical russian accent, one of the ghost in all Mk. 2 come up to him "I am", "I'm sorry that I can't tell you my identity, I'm codenamed Zoya 1" by that he extend his right hand to the american which then they shook hand "They got me as the Ghost lead, sir. What's the plan?", "We've been briefed by our commander about your plan, its politically too risky to let you amerikanski operate outside that old abandoned gulag alone" the russian pointed westward to the large Gulag complex, he then continued "We'll combat patrol the surrounding area while two of my men guide you inside, you might tell them what to do and what your plan once inside, codename of them will be Zoya 6 and Zoya 7", "Alright sir, let's do it"

Gangneung, South Korea

Gangneung Air Base

7.30pm

Two F-22A Raptors has taken-off catching up three A-20 Razorbacks.

"Warwolf 1 airborne" said a woman.

"Warwolf 2 airborne. Haven't meet you before, may I have your introduction, ma'am?" Jose, who has long been promoted to Major ask his flight leads callsign, "Lieutenant Colonel Stephanie Halverson, callsigned Siren, Guts. Nice to fly with you" which then he playfully replied "Wee-oo Wee-oo Wee-oo...here comes an air raid from Lieutenant Colonel Stephanie Halverson" which triggered the Razorback flight lead Coyote 1 interrupted "Its air raid from Coyote flight, Warwolf 2. Its good to have you tonight with us Steph", "Ohh yeahh, its been a long time. Let's got to our cruise altitude" Siren replied to her friend back in air force training. Coyote flight were originally fly F-22A stealth air superiority fighter, a plane that also seen action by them during the NRF attack at Miami, Florida back in 2015, wing no.2 were shot down in that day but the pilot recovered by the Coastguard. Now the Raptor flown by Coyotes were re-opted to the A-20 Razorback, the complete version of AX-20 Razorback Stealth CAS fighter project unveiled around 2020-2021, like the A-10 its heavy armored able to withstand constant attacks and keep on with the mission. "Alright guys and gals, remember to maintain radio silence before crossing the DMZ" Siren reminded as they're on their cruise altitude, the Warwolves got themself up around angles 20 while the Coyotes around angles 10, both flying northward with Hoeryong as their destination, a place where there is a Prison complex staged as the White skulls current Recon AO

Camp 22 southern village

Eight white skulls were hidden behind bushes surrounding the village, to make it worse for the north korean coup forces there, the white skulls were cloacked with optical camouflage which means anyone within and around the village doesn't know about what would happened, they simultaneously then fired their Suppressed weapon onto eight guards outside and inside the village area, the eight guards were in nowhere to be found out. Eight white skulls then stop cloacking, revealing their Holosight and ATPIAL attched CTR K2C that used to shoot the guards. "Commence diversion" Gecko ordered, a seconds later a quad-rotors mini-drone airborne in front of the group, it went to 20 feet height and float above the village gathering intelligence on the enemy strength which are eight NKA Grunts, three of them were indoor overwatching the remaining five harassing the villagers, "Okay...go for diversion" Gecko ordered, the drone then went 3 miles northward and lay at the side of the sandy road intentionally to explode itself creating the diversion for the White skulls to raid the village as discreet as possible, but then what something called 'didn't getting any better' turned onto something deemed 'perfect' for them, "sir, got a truck three miles ahead inbound to the village mounted by ten soldiers", their commander just smirked before said "...you do know what I'm thinking", the drone went idle for a couple seconds until the truck got near it, which by so...the drone set to explode, the truck too exploded and flipped over to the ricefield on the side of the road, occupants were killed and the villagers went panicked by it, another mini drone got float above the village just in time when one of the north korean ordered the three of the five to went outside examine what's going on to the truck. "Move according to plan"

Back to Kamchatky

Inside the Petropavlovsk Gulag

The long abandoned 120x120 meters concreted wall complex has around nine barracks on the northwestern side of the complex, southwest of the complex were two large field used as Helicopter landing area complete with the control tower attached to the executive building south of it, and the courtyard on its right, to the northeastern of the complex (east of the barracks) are one huge facility that told by the Zoya lead its used as facility for the prisoners back then, ie. canteen, workplaces and bathing place, south of the facility were the detention center. There are entrance gate to the west which although none of these complex fitted with even one security system the presence of Blatnois were high according to report shared by the Spetsnaz Sniper , however, there are tunnel system that led one of three wells within the complex, apart from that is unknown.

The eight ghosts guided by two GRUs has reached the tunnel fork led to either three wells, "typically we're to split up here, which way you would pick?" Zoya 6 asked, he and 7 aren't differentable by the american, but 7 were a female operator identificable when seeing her beautiful eyes plus she carried Saiga 12 shotgun while 6 carried a rubberheaded battering ram and strangely a non-russian employed MP7 with Kobra Reflex sight. "Okay, fellas...take the right, I'll take the left" Ferguson said to Ross, they then split up to their own path.

10.000 feet above the complex

"Molot 1 to 821, we're approaching to your position"

Two Flankers approached the Carrier borne Fulcrum squadron, these are the Flankers from the eight planes escorting the Su-34. "821 to Molot 1, would like to lead the wing?" Asked Sokov, "No, you lead it", the two flankers made four right finger formation with the fulcrums. "Oka nieba to 821 and Molot 1, we counted three miles twelve unmarked MiG-29M2s heading towards your position from west Mach 1, altitude 8.000 feet. You must lure them away from the Gulag", "Understood" Molot 1 replied. The four twin-engined headed towards the sea at exact Mach 0.8 hoping to keep attract the incoming fighters, "Do not fire until fired upon, let see what they're up to". Within a minute the four got themself 10 miles from the coast where they circling around and intentionally "to patrol squadron inbound to our position, we're on night maritime patrol, confirm your status". There is no response from the unmarked fighters, instead the four planes got radar lock warning on them followed seconds later by missile alert, "They're firing, clear to engage" sokov exclaimed, he saw the missile coming to his idle flown plane southwest at high speed which eventually missed by inches by incorrect angels, it will be commonly missed further from him somewhere if he get faster. He found the other three friendlies made it alive from the opening attack in fact they already fired back on the attacker head on, he made an initiative by bank right seeing if there's some of them going after him, and he found four about two miles from him while the rest battling his allies. The former wingman of Col. Denisov have his plane head on with the four unmarked fighters in full afterburner and switched his R-74s on stand by, he intend to take out two first with simultaneous missile fires and engage the rest of his pursuers gunpoint from any direction, he got a lock tone and seconds later he press the trigger and launched two Heatseeking missiles to the incoming enemies head on, both missiles streaked through the nose of the enemy planes, fireball were jutted out behind like welcoming Sokov as he passed head on supersonic speed, Sokov then went vertically upward witnessing through his Night Vision switched Visor the other two had little black smoke trailing from the exhaust which he blame for the wreckage of the two he take out.

Back to the dark gulag

"Get your AR online" Fergusons voice occured

Hunter team and Zoya 6 switched to Magnetic vision enabled them spotted seven soldiers inside the 3x5 little dimmed room with two long desks on the right of the room with three modern computers in form of Slim monitors without CPU around, three of them sitting in front of each computers doing some kind of digital paperworks, one man right in front of the door looked to the window overlooking to the courtyard, the other three were reading books picked from the bookshelf on the left of the room.

Executive building

"All marked, standing by" Kozak said, he were on the left of the door outside behind him were 30 and Pepper with Vikhr readied and his Ballistic scope attached SV-98 laid on his back, the ally GRU were ready with his sledgehammer on his left hand and suppressed MP7 on his right hand, behind him were the 'Decision maker'. "Now" kozak whispered followed by a swung of the hammerhead smashing the door to force open and surprised the seven officers inside by additional pop of flashbang before they got phased to other realm by the five men raiding in, "We clean it up nice and pretty" 30 remark "like my room" he added again, the other four including Ross team laughed light, "Hmm...Home sweet home, eh?" Matilda added, "Anyway, we clean the closets here as well...god my, it stink like cat poop" she added again.

"Eww...please don't..." Alicia interupted

"Oops...I'm very sorry" Li apologized playfully

Detention center

Ross and the other four were inside the blood painted detention center, a fresh blood were out from six soldiers killed by them, AKS-12s scattered near the bodies, "You got the sugar, dad?" Ross asked for intel, "I got my cousins at newark looking for it" Ferguson reply, they speak abnormally to making sure no one knows what they're up to.

Kozak and Zoya 6 browse the computer for intel, Ferguson looked for files in the shelf, 30 and Pepper guard the hallway. The building were entirely and silently cleared of hostiles, towers were not operational and every room inside has bodies lying around lifeless. Hunter team initially emerged from the well in the empty detention center, they then silently assault the building on their left and thanks to their silenced weapons plus cloacking device, they cleared the building entirely without being alerted. Ross team got emerged on the well inside the heavily guarded but lightly dimmed Facility north of the Detention building, they coordinated their attack firstly against hostiles on the darker area before finishing the last on the dimmed places including taking out every lighting sources, by then they look for intels with help of NV tech on their AR which unfortunately non-present. So they went to detention building south of the building they're in where they killed another Carbine AK-12 wielding soldiers in surprise attack, only to found nothing but long been blood painted walls on every corner of the building.

"Ghosts, Zoya 1. Our Fairy give us a tale of evil serpent around their bed, they have elixirs". Ferguson knows that it actually refer to Blatnoi soldiers on the northwestern barracks with intel inside, "Of how many are they?" the decision maker asked, "they're the only left", "Captain hook, can you greet them?" he asked Ross who replied "we'll be there"

Back in Hoeryong

While five North korean grunts busy with the truck, the cloacking White skulls discreetly search every buildings for documents, so far they found a laptop and four folders with lots of papers inside and nothing else. "Okay, retreat. Mission complete" Gecko ordered, each White skulls operative cooperated on hiding the three bodies of soldier guarding inside to the bushes they overwatched the village which saving a lot of times searching for intels. As all of them pass the fences between the Camp 22 and the wilderness, three planes passed them at subsonic speed towards the village where they climbed and turned eastward, then multiple big explosions appeared northeast far from the village. The near-perfectly invisible south korean troops looked the three planes above them circling around the village before beginning another attack run, they run back southward for two minutes until they saw one quiet tilt-rotor aircraft just two miles approaching them from south, "That's our extraction plane" the leader said, they set up defensive perimeter as the american V-25 closing on their position to fetch them home.

Inside Russian waterzone

Near the border

"This is 821, targets are all destroyed"

The MiG survived the fight along with the other three, the four now went westward to Petropavlovsk in four right hand finger formation. The two MiGs left two R-77s remain unused during the battle whilst for the Sukhois has used two of six Adders and four Archers, "821, Oka Nieba. Detect six KV-20s and nine Mi-55s inbound from the west towards the gulag, you must destroy them fast".

"Dad, I got the philtreses here. A book of rage" Ross mentioning the only Intel he found in one of nine barracks where eight enemy patrols laid lifeless around it were a laptop. "Okay, goodbye" Ferguson signal the Ghosts to pull back to the RHIB, they RV at the detention building and Exfil through the well the Hunter team comes by. As the Ghosts come out from the tunnel with two Alpha Groups, "Farewell" Zoya 6 signaling the patrolling russians to fall back toward Petropavlovsk city, suddenly the allied Russian/American Special forces heard a faint roaring above them, "hurry up" Ross hissed as they rushed to the gladly intact RHIB.

"I'll engage the Helicopters, you take the Artillery, 821" "Alright, we'll descend to 2.000 feet and start the attack run". The four twin engined fighter jets invert dive to the appointed altitude and set their weapons on stand by, but not for the Flankers as they arming the US AMRAAM counterparts and in no time they got Lock tone on the eight helicopters, "Fire Fox One" each of the two Su-27Ms fired all four Adders to the choppers 3 minutes gaped between them, it travels for around 26 seconds exactly to the helpless helicopters. One of it retreated but ended up like the other eight by Sokovs R-77VV-AE right after Molot team fired Fix one, "Beginning ECM Coverage" Molot 1 activate its ECM tubes against the KV-20s position, the four set from Afterburner to non-afterburner thrust power still in the four finger formation. "Eight miles to the Target" 821 marked, now they're reached the altitude 2.000 plus getting closer to their prey faster which by that time the Ghosts and the GRUs which they're supposed to protect has already left the Gulag, too late to totally expose themself to their fleeing allies. "Six miles, marking the targets" four miles before lock on, give a lot time for Sokov to mark his target so his subordinate wouldn't accidentally attack his picks, "let's fly lower to 500 feet" Sokov said, they then slowly pitch down the nose and descending until they reach 500 feet terrain mask. "Three miles and closing", their prey were sighted via IRST over the outskirts of Yelizovo, a town totally abandoned since the fall of Aleksander Treskayev. They saw the skies were shattered with black smoke occurring explosions like the Fulcrum lead said, but its 1.500 feet higher than the fours current altitude add with the fact that the skies were almost total dark due to clouds blocking the moonlights which render it useless. Sokov has his three marked targets locked on, he pressed the trigger on his flight stick fired simultaneously three US Maverick counterparts to its preys spread within the woods, his wingman fired three salvos to its target within the town which ten seconds later confirmed the damage not only caused the Artillerys to be shattered beyond recognition, but some parts of empty buildings around the vehicle collapsed. "This is Oka nieba, Mission is complete so you're cleared RTB"

Elmendorf AFB, Alaska

Canteen

"Alright, guys and gals...Commander says enjoy the meals now and enjoy the beers now, tomorrow we'll be back to Partridge at 0850" Ferguson said to the queuing five with pan on their possession, they thumb up and replied "Eight Fifty!", he's having dinner with Ross and Rebecca still clad in vests and its pouches like the queuing fives accompanied by a classic jazz music that blared almost the whole canteen like there was a party. The queuing five regrouped with the three highness chatting about each life back at home.

FOB Partridge

The white skulls operative has fallen asleep in their barracks, Captain Park Hye-Sung were with Col. Mike Kim and Derrick Parker examining the netbook, JSF patrolled the base inside and outside. Without their notice, high above the Forward base...

"All accounted, five planes" Guts reassured. They fly at angles 15 in subsonic speed directed to Osan where supposedly Crenshaw would await him for future tasking, without his knowing too including invitation letter to be in the US Air Force High Altitude Warfare Experimental team based at Nellis AFB.

Extra notes

- my FOB Partridge is named after Captain Arthur Partridge, in the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, he were the commander of the most advanced ELINT vessel in that time, the USS Clarence E. Walsh, the ship also made appearance in the PV before the first mission of GR2, destroyed by Super Silkworm missile.

The Captain and Sam fishers has very close relationship dating back from the Iraq war before the first Splinter Cell series and has housed Fisher during the SCCT, operating in southern america countries until the fourth mission. (Correction is due)

- ASCC (Air Standardizatiom Coordination Comitee) is the NATO group known to identify eastern bloc aircrafts such as MiG-29A Fulcrum, Su-27 Flanker and newest CFA-44A Fandance (First letter F for Fighter, H for Helicopter, ie. Havoc, Hind, Hip and Hokum. Bomber Backfire, Bear and Blackjack).

In the case of EndWar, NATO and other groups under its command were disbanded, naming method possible became different by the US and EF.

- White Skull brigade is the South Korean special forces group making its first appearance in the Ghost Recon 2 first mission 'Tank Ambush', the group were lead by Lieutenant Yi, Mitchell were tasked to escort one of their soldier carrying M139 AT Rocket to destroy the invading tanks. In a mission before Hamhung dam, White skull brigade were mentioned in briefing that they were raiding an enemy camp detached some of their operators to provide defensive perimeter for the ghosts rescuing the downed pilot.

GR2 is the only series they make appearance. I assumed the White Skull brigade to be the equivalent of the Ghost but...then again...probably debated.

- The Gulag in this fic is the AC-TC alternative of one in the strangereal Pobeda peninsula, Yuktobania. This is where the Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War mission to rescue Captain Bartlett takes place. (Correction is due)
