Zhenya moved up along the left beside Scott, his RPD up and ready to engage anyone who had the misfortune of wandering into his sights. Things were about to go very loud, very quickly, and Zhenya saw little point in maintaining a stealthy approach. However, just for the benefit of the team, he did his best to keep his noise to a minimum and his movements swift and as low-profile as possible. At the same time, Medved skulked up along the right to identify targets for the Smerch launchers - from the way the Captain had described it, the target zone was going to be too big for a single battery of Nonas to handle on their own, whereas a battery of four Smerches would be more than enough to devastate anything within the region.

"Frogfoots are in the air," Medved-One reported, using the name assigned to the Su-25 by NATO for the benefit of everyone else. "We have visual contact with barracks and the hangars."

There was a brief pause, punctuated by some chatter on Medved's end as they finalized the strike plan with the Su-25 pilots and the artillery crews. 

"Okay, everyone reports ready. Give the order on your go, captain. Orders for artillery fire will be relayed by the pilots. We want to achieve simultaneous strikes here - these Su-25s won't last long if the enemy is able to scramble fighters to engage them."
