[CLOSED] Operation Engine - Part I

14.06.2022 at 20:00 CEST

The small island of Suursaari in the south of Finland has long been a political flashpoint between St. Petersburg and Helsinki. A week ago, Russian troops moved in on the island and declared the airspace closed. Finland pushed for NATO membership, but this could not be implemented so quickly. It was therefore decided to retake the island with the support of other northern partners.

Russian troops have not yet been able to land heavy vehicles on the island, as Finnish forces still control the nearby airport. However, anti-aircraft weapons and missile systems are believed to have been deployed on the island. It is also known that at least 200 men of infantry with associated transport are on the island. It is also rumored that NATO satellite imagery has spotted enemy APCs.

Russian forces have been trying to jam the communications of personnel stationed at the airport for quite some time, so it is difficult to determine the exact location of some enemy positions. The only confirmed enemy positions are the village of Kiiskinkylä and a camp to the south.

The mission is to take out these two known positions and ultimately recapture the southern half of the island. However, we first have to get to the island. To do this, we will move our personnel and the necessary vehicles to LZ alpha and work our way north from there. CAS should take care of all enemy vehicles and anti-air positions. There is also a risk that enemy forces will send in their own air support.

Once Kiiskinkylä is cleared of enemy troops, it should be defended from counterattacks for some time so that we can establish a FOB in the town.
