The liberation of Moschnyi Island is at hand, Major. The rebels have occupied the island since last summer, but it is only since the first of the year we have had forces available to retake the island.
Your spetsnaz team will land at the southern coast of the island and proceed to the main road, holding that position against any enemy patrols. You will hold that position for about 30 minutes, then call in the naval infantry to land.
Once the naval infantry have landed, you will task one squad to hold your position, two squads with taking the town of Moschnyi, leaving one squad to assist your team.
Your team then will proceed to the airstrip and attack and eliminate any enemy forces there. Once you have destroyed all enemy aircraft at the location, the relieving naval infantry forces will land by boat near the airstrip.
The invasion will commence with a SEAD strike on the 23mm AA battery posted at both harbors. You will have two airstrikes available to you to deal with enemy technicals.
No photo play is available for this scenario.

Moschnyi Operation 1
The first Moschnyi operation took place in late summer, 2015. What follows is a description of the mission:
Only four days ago, a rebel force took over the eastern Moscheni town of Novakvice. Landing by boat, and with agents planted inside the town, the rebels took only four hours to bring the town under their control. The rebels killed the mayor and his wife, and are holding several top civic and government leaders prisoner.
The Ministry of Defense had no warning about this invasion, and no military forces were in the area to stop the takeover. Nearly every army and air force unit are occupied in northern or eastern Chernarus. The only appreciable forces available for any counter operations are Admiral Gorkov's naval infantry, spetsnaz and naval forces based across the strait.
Naval intelligence has learned that the rebels are planning to take the rest of the island in a surprise attack to take place in about an hour. The island president is preparing to evacuate the island by air along with a number of people by boat, including police. The evacuation is taking place as you read this.
You will have a naval infantry platoon at your disposal which will land by boat in extreme western Moschnyi. Your spetnaz team will land by boat at the ferry area. An ammunition truck has been parked at the ferry landing along with an offroad vehicle for your use. The only heavy weapon available will be a recoilless rifle.
The battle will be by phases. Your team will move first to Phase Line Alfa, where you will set up a defensive position. Use this position to stop any rebel mobile forces for as long as prudently possible.
Naval intelligence says that as many as 12 technicals will attempt to move across Phase Line Alfa. Once your position becomes untenable, or you receive word the president is on the move, you will withdraw to Phase Line Berkut, where you will set up a new defensive position. By that time all the enemy technicals should be destroyed, but by that time enemy infantry should be trying to infiltrate.
You must hold Phase Line Berkut at all costs until the president's plane is airborne. Once the president is safely away, your task will be to destroy all remaining aircraft, and fuel and ammunition trucks at the airfield with explosives available, then withdraw to Phase Line Vershinin.
At Phase Line Vershinin, you must hold until your naval infantry teams have been evacuated.

Raid on Bleonilba -- June 27th
On the southeastern coast, south and east of Cruce, the enemy maintains a number of positions on the main highway between Cruce and Bangaba. One checkpoint is at a small hamlet, Bleonilba, directly on the coast. Drone overflights show a single rifle squad and two technicals are at the position, as well ammuniton and fuel vehicles. That checkpoint is a weak spot in their deployment. Hitting the enemy there would be a rude introduction for the enemy.
The naval task force consisting of two corvettes will arrive at around 2130 hrs to provide preparatory naval artillery fire on any targets and will remain there for 30 minutes. When the task force exits the area, your forces will commence landing operations.
Your spetsnaz team will land less than 200 meters from the hamlet, while your naval infantry squad will land 500 to 900 meters north as a blocking force against any possible enemy reinforcements from the north.
Your team will then proceed into the village, wiping out all opposition, destroying any enemy supplies at the location, and searching dead bodies for documents.
Once your tasks are complete, your team will reload onto your ships and exit the area.
Possible enemy counteraction could include African rebel forces, Molation light infantry, or Takistani regulars and irregular forces, most of those coming from the west and northwest in any combination. Vehicles your forces could be expecting could include technicals and BTRs.
The only additional asset at your disposal is a Pchela drone. The entire operation could take a long as three hours, so it is likely the drone will be forced to return to base before the operation is concluded.

Chernarus Naval Forces at the Horn of Africa
The Chernarusian ministry of defense has announced a new deployment of naval and ground forces near the horn of Africa.
The main focus of operations will be Tropica Island, currently in the hands of several groups, including Chedaki insurgent and criminal groups as well as the usual Islamic groups.
The northern half of the island is occupied by troops loyal to the Molatian government, and while the government maintains bases in the south, that area is administered by national liberation fronts and by transnational criminal organizations, including Takistani Army regulars, Takistani militia, Chedaki and African rebel troops.
The area has been used by Chedaki criminal elements as a source for drugs and slaves, and as a base for customers for arms, munitions and cash they ship in exchange for drugs.
The deployment is also meant to bolster the presence of NATO forces in the area and will work closely with those forces. Chernarusian forces are expected to conduct counter pirate operations, as well as disrupt, degrade and destroy rebel operations in the region.
The ground forces will be based at an undisclosed location, while the naval task force will rotate in and out of their Green Sea naval bases.
Naval Forces deployment:
4 Flower Class corvettes
2 Patrol Boat Tenders
Naval forces will be split into two task groups, with one at Green Sea naval bases, with the other in current operations.
Chernarus Naval Forces Deployment
30 Naval Infantry
30 Naval special forces
4 Assault Ships
2 Ship borne command centers
2 MI-17 helicopters
2 Drones
20 Command/Intel/Support personnel
10 Naval personnel
Probable Enemy Forces
300 Molation Army regulars w/ 30 BRDMs and 30 technicals (100 deployed in the southeast)
150 African Rebels w/15 technicals
100 Takistan Army regulars w/ 30 technicals
100 Chedaki rebels w/ 30 technicals
Chernarus naval forces can expect limited help from the US Navy in the form of air strikes, and some help from US Army Delta, SEAL, British SAS and CIA Tier 1 operators.

Northern Airfield Raid December 27th, 2014
This scenario is the fourth of four scenarios wherein a Chernarus naval spetnaz strike team takes an airfield away from the enemy. The one immediately preceding this one takes place at the airfield in Krasnostav, while this one takes place at the main airport near Kabanino.
The following is the briefing:
Major, naval intelligence has located a group of civilians the Chedakis kidnapped two weeks ago, at a small Russian manned airbase in extreme northern Chernarus.
The civilians have been identified as the mayor of Krasnoyarsk, Arsen Katukov his deputy Igor Ivanov, their wives respectively, Olga Bolodova and Larissa Mashunova, and four unidentified female relatives; six women and two men in all. Intelligence thinks they are being held at a small detention facility at the airport. Intelligence thinks the prisoners are being abused and are scheduled be transported into Russia by the morning. We do not have much time.
The Admiral has approved your plan. Your team and another team will insert into the airport from the south aboard MI-17 transport birds escorted by two more MI-17 gunships. Your "B" team will insert at the southern end of the runway, dismount and attack the six aircraft on the ground, eliminating any sentries in the area and destroying the aircraft with explosives.
Simultaneously, your "A" team will insert in the middle of the runway, and make for the detention facility, eliminating all resistance, collecting intelligence documents from any dead officers, and freeing the prisoners. Your team medic will provide first aid to any injured civilians, and then a team member will escort the hostages to the transport bird.
Once the hostages are safe, you will head to the control tower, and download all data from their computer systems. Your team will then destroy any remaining enemy aircraft, along with fuel trucks, then board everybody aboard your transport bird. By then, your "B" team will should have their task complete and will be leaving as well.
The airport is lightly guarded, and the Chedakis and Russians are not expecting this kind of action this deep in Chedaki territory. A single Chedaki rifle squad set as a quick reaction force is housed in Kabanino, but they are not expected to arrive in time to help their comrades. The entire operation should take no more than about 30 minutes.
All the best, Major.
This scenario did not quite work out as planned, as will be seen:
For some reason the wrong init file is being read. The scenario is supposed to start at 2000 hrs and the weather is supposed to be random. This started at 2300 hrs, which is close enough to the original start time.
The transport bird and the escort bird spin up and take off for the moonlit ride to the airport. "B" team will board their bird and take off just a minute later, and we'll rendezvous about three kilometers south of the airport.
After a few minutes the bird makes landfall south of Chernogorsk. Both birds are flying treetop level with the transport bird flying at 40 meters above the deck while the escort bird about 20 meters higher, lights on and normal speed. 40 meters at night is about as low as an AI pilot can go at normal speed without crashing into trees.
Lights off after reaching the rendezvous point, the "A" team waits for the second strike team birds to arrive.
The plan calls for the "A" team to insert once "B" is on the ground, and so it is time to go.
The "A" team bird approaches from the southwest. The "B" team bird is already on the ground, and the team is heading for the enemy aircraft.
The lead from the escort birds is really flying now, as "A" team bird lands, and the team exits. The "A" team objective is to the left about 200 meters away from the insertion point.
"A" team starts taking fire from enemy sentries. The "A" team second in command is dead and the medic is hit. The commander kills the rifleman firing, and notices another inside the guard house.
The threat is suppressed, the medic gives himself first aid, so the commander starts for his objective, the detention facility.
Approaching the objective. One dead enemy rifleman, and the enemy transport bird can be seen, along with the fuel trucks to the right. Both are targets.
Targeting laser on! An enemy rifleman is seen at the side door of the guard house and is quickly dispatched. An officer is prone to the right as the commander approaches the detention facility.
A team member eliminates the officer while the commander kills everyone else in the guard house.
A sentry standing his post at the end of the hallway of the detention facility is eliminated by the commander.
An unarmed enemy officer and a civilian are caught in the shower room and eliminated by the commander.

Chedaki Counteroffensive, Variant 1
This is a new mission template that is an extension of the CDF Northern Recon mission template. New forces apply now with four BTR rifle squads supported by two ZU-23/2 AAA trucks. Support options include two separate airstrikes, one heliborne air support mission (originally tasked as an air extraction unit used by Chernarusian naval and army Spetsnaz), a resupply mission, and a truck borne support mission (also originally tasked as a ground extraction unit used by Chernarusian naval and army Spetsnaz).
This time the field of operations are much wider than before (about three kilometers), and the start time and weather are randomized.
The mission is that a large Chedaki force comprising two light infantry squads, one BRDM infantry section and a technicals section are driving into Kabanino, with a similar but heavier unit advancing on Novi Sobor. The mission for the enemy is to drive into the two towns and hold them, but from time to time the AI gets frisky and decides on its own to advance much further south than the line Kabanino-Stary Sobor-Novi Sobor.
Chedakis leave Stary Sobor alone because its mayor and staff are friendly to the Chedakis.
The CDF force is an advanced party of the Chernarusian 41st Recon Battalion, newly deployed to south Zagoria in response to intelligence of a Chedaki buildup of forces in the north. Strong drug sales and aid from rogue Russian Army commanders are aiding the buildup. Chernarusian Army intelligence does not have a reliable estimate of available forces for the Chedakis owing to restrictions on overflights by the Chernarusian political leadership.
So, the army must rely on local residents to phone in reports of Chedaki troop movements south, enough so that a small armored infantry group can deploy and stop enemy movement further south than the line Kabanino-Stary Sobor-Novi Sobor.
The time is 0655 hrs and the weather is party cloudy, but dry.
The commander wants to deploy his three rifle squads as follows:
1st Squad: On the road at Grid 045076 near the large rock.
2nd Squad: East of the woods near Grid 049079, just below a ridge crest
3rd Squad: West of the woods at 054082, over looking the crossroads at Grid 056080.
1st AAA Section, Deployed west of the woods at Grid 047078
2nd AAA Section: Deployed southeast of the woods at 052080, also overwatching the crossroads at Grid 056080, in support of 3rd Squad.
Commander's Unit: Deployed north of the woods at Grid 052078.
The commander's deployment leaves his unit overwatching the main road west of Kabanino, which runs south through the position of 1st Squad, a large field of view north, and part of the crossroads at Grid 056080.
Once the orders are cut, the long 4.7 kilometer road march begins.
