100 Km inside Balochia
Ochtyr 1, 1585
The pair of jets streaked low across the Balochian countryside, a blur to anyone watching from the ground. They each carried a payload of ten-thousand kilograms, a total of 40 high explosive bombs between the two of them. They were part of the opening hours of the Severyanian air offensive against the Lappish rebels in Southern Balochia. Sattelite passes and reconaissance flights had been conducted and analyzed thoroughly in the weeks leading up to the two-pronged invasion of the nation and now that the battle planning had been completed, the execution phase had begun. The twin St-33 Fighter/Bombers began to bank left in the direction of a small industrial town. Both aircraft very suddenly began to climb, leveling out at ten-thousand feet, and once they were there they broke their radio silence.
"Whiplash, this is Eagle 1. Approaching target now requesting permission to engage, over." The pilot of the leading aircraft said coolly into his mic. The response came clear and short.
"Eagle 1, Whiplash. Mission is go, green light, out."
The aircraft very suddenly sped up, barreling towards a factory complex in the center of the city. The pilot began to align his Heads-up display markers for his payload drop. He closed the distance rapidly, and his co-pilot pressed the weapons release. His aircraft seemed to jump forward at the loss of weight, the pilot's signal to dump flares and go full afterburner out of the target zone.
"Eagle 2 this is Eagle 1, good drop over."
"Eagle 1, Eagle 2, same here. We are RTB, over."
"Solid copy, form up on us, out."
It was much of the same across a large air operations front. Severyanian Fighter/Bombers struck known rebel front line positions, and Supersonic Strategic bombers launched cruise missiles well behind the lines to hit known enemy supply points. It was basic Severyanian strategy, cut off the route of supply and demoralize the enemy on the front before a powerful strike on the ground, which would ideally lead to a breakthrough. Then the mobile warfare would rout the enemy completely.
Border between Balochia and Severyane
Ochtyr 1, 1585
On the ground the elite Severyanian paratroops of the 322nd Guards Airborne Division, pushed across the border in their mechanized troop carriers. Supported by the tank forces of the 3rd Shock Army in their newly upgraded MBTs, they had met little resistance in the first hours of the war. Mostly they bypassed and provided guidance to fleeing Balochians. Their main target was the Balochian capitol of Rvon, the 322nd the tanks from the 3rd were given a timeline of one week to make the push to, and capture the city from the Lappish.
The General in charge also had the pleasure of commanding a second prong of attack in the south. Severyanian Gornostrelki, or mountain troops, were to push towards the city of Radograd. They were expected to take the city and await reinforcements from elements of the 3rd Shock Army, who would then establish a line fifty kilometers outside the city limits at a minimum. This was to be accomplished in two weeks. He knew that it was nigh on impossible to meet these deadlines but the Severyanian Military High Command was very much the same institution it had been under the communists, and there was no telling how they would punish failure under the new government. So the General had to grin and bear it for the time being.
Oh the pleasures of war.
