In the year 2025, geopolitical tensions between Russia and the United States reached a boiling point. A series of border disputes, cyberattacks, and political assassinations led to
an all-out war. One of the key battles took place in Maykop, a strategically vital city in the Caucasus region, known for its oil reserves and key military installations.

On the night of May 14, 2025, a squadron of U.S. stealth drones soared over the Caucasus mountains, striking Russian radar installations near Maykop. The bombardment disrupted
communication lines, leaving the local Russian garrison momentarily blinded. At the same time, U.S. Marines and Special Forces, deployed via helicopters and Osprey aircraft, began a rapid assault on the outskirts of the city.

Russian anti-aircraft defenses, though caught off guard, retaliated with S-400 missile systems. Several U.S. aircraft were lost, but the majority succeeded in deploying ground
forces. Under the cover of darkness, American troops engaged Russian Spetsnaz units in brutal close-quarters combat within the dense forest surrounding Maykop.

As dawn broke, Russian armored reinforcements from Krasnodar arrived, including T-90 tanks and mechanized infantry. U.S. forces, entrenched in the city’s industrial district,
called in A-10 Warthogs to engage Russian armor. The skies over Maykop became a battlefield of their own as Russian Su-35s clashed with American F-16s and F15s in highspeed dogfights.
In the city center, block-to-block fighting ensued. Russian conscripts, supported by hardened veterans, used RPGs and mortars to push back advancing U.S. forces. Civilians
fled as artillery shells reduced entire streets to rubble. The battle reached a stalemate, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

On May 16, the tide of battle shifted when a covert team of U.S. Navy SEALs infiltrated a Russian command post, relaying vital intelligence back to headquarters. A coordinated
missile strike destroyed Russian supply lines, crippling their ability to reinforce Maykop.With logistics in chaos, Russian forces fell back to defensive positions near the Belaya
River. Seizing the opportunity, U.S. forces launched a final push. Apache helicopters and HIMARS rocket systems bombarded Russian fortifications, forcing their retreat.

- Aircrafts with Short Range Missiles;
- Anti-Air Guns on Mobile Ground Units;

Main Objetive:
