Silent Tide - Act 2 - Pre-Op Intel for 24 Apr 2026

Following the compromise of our previous operation to seize IFF codes, the mission profile has shifted from clandestine theft to a direct, kinetic application of force. Concrete evidence of a foreign actor on Yulakia has forced the GRU to accelerate the invasion timetable to next week, making the immediate destruction of Georgian air defenses our highest priority.

Primary Objectives
- Neutralize SAM Position Northeast: Destroy all surface-to-air missile launchers operated by the Georgian 22nd Anti-Air Battalion at the northeastern battery site.
- Neutralize SAM Position West: Eliminate the remaining 22nd Anti-Air Battalion launch capabilities at the western battery site to clear the approach for Russian aviation.

Secondary Objectives
- Neutralize any local rotary, fixed-wing, or UAV assets that attempt to scramble during the attacks.

Mission Intelligence
- Ongoing tactical updates will be provided via GRU microwave transmissions from a geosynchronous satellite over the Black Sea.
- They know we are here. Stealth, while still an option, is no longer a requirement.

Deployment Conditions
Step-off: 0300hrs
Weather: Clear

NOTE: Failure to neutralize these batteries will result in the immediate loss of Russian rotary and fixed-wing assets during the opening phase of the invasion.
