Situation Update / Summary
Despite repeated diplomatic warnings, Russian forces continue to operate Geran-2 (Shahed-136) drone launch sites from Maykop Airfield. These drones have repeatedly “accidentally” crossed into NATO airspace, resulting in strikes on Romanian territory and near other NATO border states. Ukrainian forces have significantly degraded Russian air defenses in the region through a sustained SEAD/DEAD campaign. Intelligence confirms active Geran drone preparation at Maykop. Coalition Command has tasked CSG-1 with a limited precision strike to neutralize this threat.

Mission Intent
Conduct a precision stand-off strike on the Geran drone launch site and associated infrastructure at Maykop Airfield. Destroy stored drones, launch rails, command vehicles, and support facilities while minimizing risk to the strike package.

Mission Tasks
Task 1 - Precision Strike
● Destroy Geran-2 drones, launch platforms, and ground support equipment using
AGM-84H SLAM-ER and AGM-154.
Task 2 - Airfield Degradation
● Neutralize fuel storage, munitions depots, and maintenance areas supporting drone
operations.
Task 3 - SEAD
● Suppress any mobile air defense systems.

Enemy Forces
● Geran-2 kamikaze drones
● Russian air defenses (limited amount of S-300, few Buk-M1, mainly - Tor-M2,
Pantsir-S1)
● Possible fighter interception (Su-30SM, MiG-29) from nearby bases
● Ground-based AAA and MANPADS around the airfield
