Silent Tide - Act 3 - Pre-Op Intel for 15 May 2026

Our situation has reached a critical failure point. With the Russian Federation’s forces moving into the northeast to consolidate and form a defensive line, as well as no further contact from our GRU handlers, we have been effectively abandoned in hostile territory. NATO’s rapid push eastward has rendered our current position untenable, forcing an immediate pivot to ensure our survival.

Primary Objectives

- Conduct an immediate tactical withdrawal to the southeastern islands to escape the primary NATO axis of advance.
- Identify and secure a defensible location on the islands to serve as a staging area while we are operating without GRU support.

Secondary Objectives

- Secure any abandoned Russian or Georgian supply caches during the transit to offset the loss of our logistical support.
- Utilize local equipment to monitor unsecured frequencies, seeking any indication of NATO's next phase or Russian counter-offensive plans.

Mission Intelligence

- At this time,transmissions from the GRU have ceased; we are officially operating with no external guidance.
- Russian Armed Forces are abandoning the southern sectors to reinforce the northeast, meaning any friendly units encountered during our flight are likely in full retreat and potentially hostile to non-Russians.
- NATO forces are utilizing high-altitude UAVs to coordinate their eastward push. Any movement across open terrain is high-risk.
- While the southeastern islands are less populated, be advised that the region was known to host mobile surface-to-surface launchers and volunteer units prior to the invasion.
