Situation Update / Summary
Donovian forces continue to operate a key Command & Control and A2AD node from Nalchik Airfield. Intelligence confirms the presence of critical C2 facilities and supporting air defense assets that enable coordinated operations against Gorgas and Coalition forces. CSG-1 has been tasked with a precision stand-off raid to neutralize these high-value targets using AGM-158 JASSM, while a dedicated SEAD package clears the surrounding SAM threat.

Mission Intent
Conduct a long-range precision strike on Nalchik Airfield to sever Donovian C2 and A2AD capability. Destroy primary command facilities and key support infrastructure using AGM-158, while suppressing SA-10, SA-6, and SA-22 systems. Mid-mission air-to-air refueling will be available from Texaco tankers.
