Mission Update 01
Situation:
Enemy:
- Early this morning (10th of August) intelligence picked up indications of a meeting between high-ranking russian military officers, and russian researcher participating in their chemical weapon program. Signal intelligence(SIGINT) and human intelligence (HUMINT) have confirmed a meeting taking place in the village of KARAKCHAEVSK (N43 46.686 E041 54.655), in KILLBOX P3. KARAKCAEVSK is located aproximately 65nm NORTH of SUKHUMI
Meeting is taking place in what recent intelligence have assessed to likely be one of their secret facilities for reasearch for chemical weapons.
- Intelligence services are currently working on getting higher resolution on the situation in the area, and to be able to provide additional information about the target area.
- The city of KARAKCAEVSK is primarily a civilian city, and as such potential for civilian casualties.
- Earlier intelligence have reported of troop movements NORTH of the objective area, as Russian troops are moving EAST toward the front in SOUTH OSSETIA.
- It is likely that the reseach facility have a Quick Reaction Force somewhere in the vincinity of the village (nearby villages) and that some sort of Air Defence Assets are in place to protect the facility.
