SPECTRE Chapter 2 Part 3

by Col. Shepherd. Mission date Friday 6th December 2024, 19:00 GMT

SITREP

In our last mission, TFA successfully removed the main anti-air threats operating in Pyrgos and Chelonisi, reducing the threat to NATO air operations. However, substantial air defences remain at Altis International Airport and the surrounding area, so air operations are still risky.

Whilst we were busy, newly set up NATO equipment picked up a faint but identifiable ping from a covert tracking beacon installed in SPECTREs plane. The signal has now been triangulated, and is coming from the vicinity of Altis Internationa Airport. Securing the airport and recovering any remains of the aircraft has therefore gone straight to the top of our priority list.

INTEL

A large cargo plane has just been observed arriving at the airport and is currently unloading supplies for the Sydicate. More worryingly, there are several large and suspicious looking crates waiting to be loaded onto the plane before it leaves. The weak tracker ping from the area indicates these could include salvaged parts of SPECTREs plane, and the US would very much like those back – especially the black box.

NATO technical boffins have managed to tinker with our mine detectors to register the tracker from SPECTREs plane in the same way it would usually display a mine threat. This should make it possible to confirm the presence of the airframe at the airport.

In addition, the latest recon has shown a heavy anti-aircraft battery at a heavily fortified military installation south of Telos. We believe they may also be concealing significant QRF forces within the six domes on the site. This will need to be neutralised first if the assault on the airport is to succeed.

Mission Start: 0400

Weather: Calm and cloudy

Mine threat: Unknown

Air threat: High, there is a military airbase to the north

Civilian presence: Unknown

MISSION

The platoons will work together to:

  1. Clear and secure the military base near Telos
  2. Clear and secure Altis International Airport
  3. Find and secure the remains of SPECTRE’s aircraft
  4. Repel and QRF sent to retake the airport

EXECUTION

  1. MRAP insert into the AO
  2. Assault Telos military base
  3. Assault Altis International Airfield
  4. Secure the airfield and hold until relived

A10 Warthog available for air support once the AA units at TALOS have been neutralised. Caution will still be required until the air defences at Altis International Airbase.
