Mission Covert : Objective Bug Out
Insertion Point will be

A Chinese J-42 Drone has been brought down in the Kashmir region.
Initially recovered by local opium smugglers.  GCHQ reports chatter indicating the drone has been delivered to the Khushab Labs in the Industrial Digiana, Jammu Complex.
Final destination being Udhampur Airbase, Kashmir.

Intercept the vehicle and RV with REME recovery unit.

Covert
An AAC Merlin brought us quietly into a small clearing but before we can get the perimeter secured we start taking fire from 2 “Watchers”. Smith takes them down from the doorway of the Helo and we make for the river and use the steep bank as cover

Water Crossing
I don’t know who got a bigger shock us or the drug smugglers busy offloading a small raft. Smith opened up on them and as they hit the deck. Moore and I double tap the Smugglers and the Lookout who wasn’t looking out it seems.

Choke Point
The river narrows quite severely. Up ahead we see more activity more Smugglers and two groups of Hired Muscle. We needed to hit them hard and fast. I had wanted to stay covert until we reach the Ind. Complex but hey ho. (The current Drone position according to the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC). Smith drops a 43mm grenade into the group, Smith and I close on the suppressed enemy.  My SCAR locks open, Moore changes target ensuring the heavies keep their heads down. Seeing things going a bit pear shaped Smith drops a second grenade taking out the Smugglers. Not something we’d recommend but time is running out. Moore moves to the outskirts of the Village complex where he can get eyes on the target vehicle leaving Taylor and Smith to clear enemy stragglers.
Smith goes full auto, not normally recommended, but fire superiority needs to be established and right now the mission is going tits up if we don’t get to the target quickly.  Switching to semi Smith puts a pin point accurate round through the head of the truck driver. My SCAR jams again!

Industrial Complex

The truck grinds to a halt and an explosion catches Smith and I [2 wnds each]. Smith reacts first and fires a burst at the RPG team suppressing them. Drawing my sidearm I put a head shot into the guy with the RPG as Moore continues mowing down anything that he sees. Closing on targets allows us to clear the way to the far side of the Complex where we can see the target vehicle.

Bugging Out
Between us and the vehicle are some kind of Pakistani Officer a Unit of Elite Guard and another group of smugglers. Again with my pistol I snap a shot off and take down one of the Elite Guards, the other ducks down. Smith lands a 43mm at the Leaders position flinging him through the air Hollywood style. At last a burst from my SCAR ensures the Elite Unit keeps its head down and a final burst from Smith takes out the Drug Runners. Moore misses all shots. Luckily the Lookout also missed. We clamber into the vehicle and I blow on of the transports close by to cover our escape and as we put our foot down Moore finds his eye in again and takes out the Lookout.

RV REME recovery helo is on station as we arrive – Drive in – Take Off – Job Done

Mission [No Worries] : Objective Escape to the Border
Pashkovo Town

“Look it’s time to get out of here we are down to 3 men, we cannot achieve anything except get ourselves killed.”
“We have information valuable to the British. We have 12 hours to reach RV 426. A unit from 30 Commando IEG will meet us there.”

Moving out into the deserted streets of Pashkovo [48.89980, 130.6548] was quite un-nerving. We will hold our cover as Federal Forces until we have no other choice than to engage our fellow countrymen.
The silence was soon shattered as we approached a heavily manned Roadblock.
Suddenly Kiri snaps off a silenced round into the shop window to our left. The body hits the floor, Infiltrator by the markings on his uniform!

Roadblock
As we close, Andrei opens up on the Perimeter Guards suppressing them. The Perimeter Guard unit engages us. We take cover as a Mil Mi 24 Gunship sweeps low over our heads. Kargin kills the other Perimeter Guards as they make a run for it. The Security Patrol mistakenly get caught in the open running to their aid. This allows me to close on the suppressed unit and finish them.

Patrolled Area
We knew the area beyond would be heavily patrolled. Keeping an eye on our six Andrei fired a controlled burst, suppressing a further Infiltrator while I walk over and put a round in his head. Hearing the gunfire another 2 Security Patrols run to investigate, only to be cut down by Dmitriy. Time was wasting, defeating the Red Army wasn’t our mission, escaping with the intel was!

Avenue
I quickly dealt with the Security Detachment huddled together around a bin fire. This allowed Dmitriy and Andrei to catch up. At the end of the Avenue we could see the old industrial complex which would lead us to the River.

Factory
Moving through the Factory area quickly another Security Detachment was dispatched. Things were going smoothly and resistance numbers had dropped

Heavy Construction
This area runs up to the Amur River bank.  Two Security Detachments (SECDET) open up on us from the left flank. Andrei and Dmitriy and take out one squad each but not before a patrol can hit Dmitriy [2 wnds] even as I gun them down.
We are low on ammo and the time is running out we’re dangerously close to us being stuck here.

Housing Complex
More troops flood from the surrounding streets calm and precise shooting goes out the window as I spam the area with Grenades taking out a full Security Patrol, Perimeter Security Team and  forcing another to take cover behind parked vehicles.
Dmitriy is struggling.

Objective: The Border
I finish off the final resistance and we move to the border.
Two Border Patrols are between us and the Amur River and an Armoured Unit is moving into position behind us.

Suddenly Heavy Machine gun fire is flying over our heads.
My final grenades find their targets as Andrei and Dmitriy open up with their final rounds. The 30 Commando IEG ORC is within sight and their support fire is pinning the Russian forces.

We clamber aboard and head for Chinese Territorial waters.
