Black Sea Fleet Near Sevastopol Naval Base​

Operation: CHERNOYE Turkish-Israeli Conflict Classified & Encrypted "God Give Us Strength, Give Us Courage, and When It Is All Over, Forgive Us."​

Operation Information

The nation of Turkey has been considered a rogue nation for some time now, one of great risk to the stability of the region - especially the Middle East. However, recently, this nation has become hostile. With treaths of invading Israel and their recent murder of ~9,000 Jews in Turkey, Her Imperial Majesty Chaterine III has ordered for the entire Black Sea Fleet to remain on high alert and be ready to sail off to war at a moment's notice. It was also planned to have various patrol units patrolling the Black Sea, alongside potentially sending out the squadron of Vishnya-class intelligence collection ships to collect information against the nation of Turkey. Additionally, if required, the Naval Infantry, Space Forces, and Air Force would be placed on alert to join this operation and potentially go to war. All vessels would be fully fueled, fully supplied, and fully armed - but would remain in their ports until further notice.

Submarines of Task Force "Vodyanoy" Departing Naval Base Novorossiysk​

Secret With the declaration of war by the United States of America and the Congolese Empire against the nation of Turkey, the Ministry of Defense and the Tsarina have ordered that Operation: Chernoye begins immediately. At Naval Base Novorossiysk, a task force would be made up of the 4th Submarine Squadron, 92nd Surface Ship Division, and a fleet oiler. This task force would be known as "Vodyanoy" and would be tasked with operating in the southern Black Sea, monitoring Turkish activities, patroling the waters, and tasked with mining the exit of the Bosphorus Strait, denying the Turks easy access to the Black Sea. If any sort of conflict were to arise, word would be immediately sent to Sevastopol Naval Base where the majority of the Black Sea Fleet would meet up with the task force. All ships of the task force would be fully armed (with the weapons and ammunitions listed in the above deployment list), fully supplied (the Kilo-class submarines would have 45 days worth of rations, the Gepard-class frigates with 20 days worth of rations, and the oiler with 90 days worth of rations and with 8,250 tons worth of ship fuel, 1,000 tons of drinking water, and 220 tons of provisions for transfer between ships), and fully fueled. All members of the submarine and ship crews were all in good health and fully equipped with proper equipment before boarding each of the vessels. The 4th Submarine Squadron would be divided between two task groups: 1 and 2. The 1st task group would compose of HIMS Alrosa, HIMS Rostov na Donu, and HIMS Staryy Novgorod. The 2nd task group would compose of HIMS Novorossiysk, HIMS Krasnodar, and HIMS Vlikiy Novgorod. The surface force of the task force would compose of the Black Sea Fleet's three Gepard-class frigates, and the Boris Chilikin-class fleet oiler HIMS Ivan Bubnov. The submarine task groups' formations would be made of a line, each composed as the following: HIMS Alrosa (leading submarine), HIMS Rostov na Donu, HIMS Staryy Novgorod and HIMS Novorossiysk (leading submarine), HIMS Krasnodar, HIMS Vlikiy Novgorod. The surface ships would sail in a V shape, the Gepard-class frigates making each of the points and HIMS Ivan Bubnov sailing within the center. The submarines would sail snorkeled at 7kn, each of the submarines keeping a safe distance between themselves to assure enough time for maneuvers in the case of emergency, and the surface vessels would sail also at 7kn, following the squadron of submarines - also keeping safe distances between themselves. Keeping within KN, the ships would reach their location at 41.983974, 29.592564 within 6 hours time. They would remain in international waters and upon reaching their destination, the submarines would submerge. Additionally, if any non-Russian ships were detected the submarines would also submerge. Lastly, with Operation: Chernoye well underway, the Russian Air Force would be mobilized. However, it would take some time before their reached their locations in the southern military district.

MDM-2 Naval Mines, the Ones that Make Up the Bosphorus Minefield​

Secret With the task force having now reached their destination at 41.983974, 29.592564 (remaining in international waters and just out of range of Turkish radars and costal missile defense systems) the ships would replenish fuel from the Boris Chilikin-class oiler. Once replenishment was completed, the 6 submarines would submerge themselves (remaining to a depth of 60m - rising if necessary to avoid natural blockades) and begin making their way towards the Straits of Bosphorus. The fleet oiler and 3 Gepard-class frigates would remain at their location, monitoring the surrounding waters with their radars and weaponry. Communication with the submarines would remain constant. After less than an hour, the submarines would have reached their destination at the head of the Bosphorus Strait (41.245914, 29.149849). While HIMS Alrosa and HIMS Novorossiysk would remain on the far sides, offering additional protection to the other 4 submarines, HIMS Rostov na Donu, HIMS Staryy Novgorod, HIMS Krasnodar, and HIMS Vlikiy Novgorod would begin mining the area using MDM-2 naval mines. Each of the mines were armed with a warhead of 500kg, able to be laid to a depth of 120m, and track targets in a radius of 300m (0.3km). The mines would be able to detect both surface ships and submarines, with assured and speedy destruction within their 0.3km tracking radius. The MDM-2 would also offer protection from attempts to retrieve them, even when using non-contact methods. The mines would be fired from the submarines' torpedo tubes, with a range of up to 50km after their launch from said tubes, the submarines creating the underwater minefield would remain safe from harm. Additionally the submarines would remain on safe levels under the water, rising if required to avoid hitting anything. In total, 48 MDM-2 mines would be carefully laid at the head of the strait. Each of the mines' locations would be documented by the submarines that fired them, being placed in a way that a secret route known only to the Russian navy would be available for safe travel through the field. In the end, the location of the mines would be as such: When the minefield was done being laid, the submarines would gather at 41.236314, 29.139775, there they would take up their task force formations of 3 submarines in 2 lines. Remaining at safe distances from each other and the minefield, they would surface and begin following the safe passage through the field to Sevastopol Naval Base where they would refuel and resupply before returning to Novorossiysk. They would reach the base in some 5 hours. The Boris Chilikin-class oiler and the Gepard-class frigates would keep their locations in the event of Turkish retaliation. Back in Russia, the Coastal and Naval Infantry would be mobilized alongside the air force and airborne forces. Various units of the airborne forces and naval infantry would be moved to the city of Adler, squadrons of Su-27s would be moved to the southern military district, and the coastal missile defense systems would be placed on high alert. Units of the S-400 systems would have their radars ready, covering the entire Black Sea. Russia was ready for war. Axis12

HIMS Moskva Leaving Sevastopol Naval Base​

Secret The 4th Submarine Squadron would arrive at Sevastopol Naval Base. They would carefully port to the base, assuring that they did not come into contact with anything. The resupply and refueling process would take no more than an hour per ship. While the 8 hours at port was counting down, the crews of the submarines would go on shore leave; some would rest in proper beds while others would hit the bar. When the 8 hours was over, everyone was checked over by their officers - assuring proper physical and mental capacity before being allowed back on the submarines. Once every one was back in their submarines, the Squadron would safely depart from Sevastopol Naval Base and begin making their way to Novorossiysk Naval Base. They would reach their destination in some 4 hours. As the submarines departed, the Russian Ministry of Defense would send signals out to the 30th Surface Ship Division, 166th Missile Boat Squadron, and the 295th Missile Boat Squadrons. All the ships would be fully fueled and supplied, their crews' health would all be checked before they boarded the ships and if required, the helicopters fully checked over by mechanics before being boarded on the ships with their equipment and fuel. The 30th Surface Ship Division would depart Sevastopol Naval Base with the following ships: HIMS Moscow, HIMS Moskva, HIMS Ladnyy, HIMS Pytlivyy, HIMS Admiral Grigorovich, HIMS Admiral Essen, HIMS Admiral Makarov, and HIMS Vice Admiral Paromov and HIMS Iman. The 166th Missile Boat Squadron would depart with the following ships: HIMS Bora, HIMS Viyshniy Volochyok, HIMS Samun, HIMS Orekhovo-Zuyevo, HIMS Ingushetiya, and HIMS Grayvoron. The 295th Missile Boat Squadron would depart with the following ships: HIMS Shuya, HIMS Burya, HIMS Veter, HIMS Naberezhnya Chelny, and HIMS Ivanovets. All ships would be filled with rations and the replenishment ships would be loaded with the following: 8,250 tons worth of ship fuel, 1,000 tons of drinking water, and 220 tons of provisions for transfer between ships. The 30th Surface Ship Division would head off to the position of the Gepard-class frigates, where they would reach them within 5 hours. HIMS Moskva would be leading the fleet, with the Krivak III-class frigates on the sides, HIMS Moscow in the center, and the fleet oilers in the back. There would be safe distances between them all, enough to offer them enough time for maneuvers if necessary. All sensors, radars, and weapons would be on the ready incase of Turkish actions. They would be going at roughly 15kn, assuring the helicopter carrier remained at the center of the fleet. The 166th Missile Boat Squadron would head off to gather at 42.243623, 39.662534, and the 295th Missile Boat Squadrons to 42.413950, 37.205995, reaching said location in roughly 5 hours. The ports of the cities of Sochi and Adler would be made open for the squadrons. Each of the squadrons would go separately but remain close, enough space between each other for maneuvers. They would be fully rationed and travel at roughly 12kn.

295th Missile Boat Squadron in the Black Sea​

Secret The 30th Surface Ship Division would have reached the squadron of Gepard-class frigates at this time. Remaining in their separate formations at safe distances from each other, the two fleets would be refueled and resupplied by their respective replenishment ships. Once the replenishment was complete the three replenishment ships would depart for Sevastopol Naval Base where they would refill on their fuel, rations, and drinkable water. The trio of ships would reach the base in roughly 5 hours time. The 30th Surface Ship Division and 92nd Surface Ship Division would remain in position, monitoring the area for Turkish movements. All weapons would be at the ready. On the other side of the Black Sea, the 166th Missile Boat Squadron would reach its position at 42.243623, 39.662534. Due to the Bora-class hovercraft's short endurance of rations, Novorossiysk Naval Base would deploy HIMS Istra, a Boris Chilikin-class fleet oiler, to go meet the squadron and assure that their rations remain at safe levels. HIMS Istra would be loaded up with the following: 8,250 tons worth of ship fuel, 1,000 tons of drinking water, and 220 tons of provisions for transfer between ships. They would also be tasked with refueling and resupplying the 295th Missile Boat Squadron when necessary. The fleet oiler would reach the 166th Squadron in roughly 4 hours. Once the Bora-class hovercrafts had reached their destination, they would disperse themselves from each other by roughly 250 feet in the hopes of making themselves harder to hit from potential Turkish attacks. Not far from them, the 295th Missile Boat Squadron would reach its position at 42.413950, 37.205995. Like the Bora-class hovercraft, the Tarantul-class corvettes would disperse themselves from each other by some 250 feet. Both the 166th and 295th Missile Boat Squadrons would have all of their weapons at the ready, including sensors and radars. Axis12

TOP SECRET

TCG MH-01 Monitoring for Signs of Enemy Mines​

As part of Operation Ilk Atak, deployment of Mine Sweepers to clear mines laid by the Russians Via Frankenthal-class Minehunters was essential to the movement of troops, goods, and coastal defense craft. The Vessels would have their full compliments and weapons and depart from Istanbul, south of the reported minefield. This was the primary goal of stage II for operation Ilk Atak and was extremely important to command, with all details of the movements kept secret. The mine hunters would employ their Marconi 2093 VDS mine hunting sonar and disperse to the northern mouth of the strait at just 10 knots so that they could pick up any possible mines laid by the Russians And mark them via non-magnetic buoy for mine hunting divers to come back and disarm the charges. They would progress slowly and be equally distanced from each other, slowly expanding as the strait become more open, each of the locations of the other minesweepers were closely monitored by the other ships so that their radars did not go out of range from each-other and a mine could go undetected. Directly behind the central Minesweeper, TCG MH-02, a Cubuklu-class Survey Ship(TCG Cubuklu) which was made of similar non-magnetic steel due to it’s task as a deep sea monitoring vessel/mine hunter would follow, crewed with and additional 20 Mine Divers to disarm the mines. After the Minesweeper would stop to drop a buoy, the survey vessel would stop and deploy min divers who would disarm the mines safely and with utmost precision. The vessel would continue this following strategy for the central route since this could be marked as a safe passageway for vessels until the other mines were disposed of as well.
To counter the Submarine threat posed by the Russian Baltic Fleet, a MEKO 200 Class Frigate would be stationed from Operation Mamluk behind the marked line of Mines indicated by the Minesweepers. The Ship would activate it’s Thomson Sintra Spherion B Mod 5; hull-mounted; active search and attack; medium frequency Sonar to try to identify any Russian Submarine Threat. It would be armed with 1 × 5 in/54 (127 mm) Mk-45 Mod 2 naval artillery gun, 3 × Phalanx Mk-41 Mod 5/Mod 8 VLS for Sea Sparrow SAM, 2 x 8 × Harpoon Missiles, 2 × triple 324 mm Mk-32 Mod 5 Torpedo tubes, 20 x Mark IX Depth Charges. All vessels would be on high alert as they cleared the mines carefully and a secretly as possible, with additional patrol vessels patrolling other sectors from Operation Mamluk ready to deploy to the region in case of conflict.
Here are the full specifications for the other vessels.
Frankenthal Class Mine-hunter 3x
Fully Fueled; Non-perishable food/water for 2 months, Standard Equipment loaded and ready, mine diver equipment
1 × Marconi 2093 VDS mine hunting sonar, 1 × 30 mm gun, 2 × 12.7 mm machine gun, 2 × PAP-105 Mk5 mine hunting system
Cubuklu-class Survey Ship 1x
Fully Fueled; Non-perishable food/water for 2 months, Standard Equipment loaded and ready
1 × 12.7 mm machine gun

360 Sailors and 35 Mine Hunters would take part in the mission, all vessels would have crews equipped with Yavuz 16 Sidearms and several G3 Rifles.

The Mine-hunters would work their way out until no other mines were detected, they would then take different lines of approach back to where they started to ensure no mines were missed. If unimpeded, they would then deploy their own mine hunting crews and begin disarming/destroying indicated mines.

Krivak III-class Frigate, HIMS Ladnyy​

Secret The mines that had been planted in the minefield were the sea bottom MDM-2 naval mines, forty-eight of them in total. These mines possess effective anti-sweeping protection from modern influence sweepers and resistance to natural clutter. Intricate planting patterns of the mines themselves and the camouflage painting on the mines hinder their detection by sonars of surface ships and submarines, or by mine-hunting devices of remotely operated underwater vehicles. As such, the Turkish minehunters would be having quite the difficult day attempting to properly locate the mines, if they were able to detect any to begin with. Due to the difficulty of the mines being detectable and the path of the minehunters having not been stated, other than their speed, it would be assumed that the minehunters had entered the radius of some of the mines and that by doing so the naval mine in which the ship entered the radius of would explode with 950kg worth of TNT with such speed that any vessel in the radius would not have the time to maneuver out of the way and were either heavily damaged and completely destroyed. However, as the 30th Surface Ship and the 92nd Surface Ship Divisions were already in the region, with their weapons and radars at the ready - the Turkish fleet would be immediately detected before they begun minehunting operations (more easily due to the lack of traffic in the Bosphorus Strait). All the ships from the divisions would ready their CIWS, anti-air missiles, and anti-ship/cruise missiles for immediate attack and counter-attack. The cruise missiles of the Krivak III-class frigates and Gepard-class frigates would be locked to the Turkish fleet - guided by their sensors and radars. However, the Russians still hoped to avoid conflict and as such the captain of HIMS Ladnyy, a Krivak III-class frigate, would be tasked with contacting the Turkish fleet via radio. "This is Her Imperial Majesty's Ship Ladnyy of the Imperial Russian Navy. We are attempting to contact the Turkish fleet of ships currently at the mouth of the Bosphorus Strait. You are currently infringing on Russia's blockade. If your fleet does not return to the Marmara Sea within the next thirty minutes, we will take action." The message would be repeated in both English and Russian. If the thirty minutes expired and the Turk fleet remained, the Gepard-class frigates would fire one Brahmos cruise missile each at the largest of the Turkish ships (as it was expected this ship had the majority of the armament of the small fleet), three missiles in total. The frigates would use their sensors and radars to mark the initial launch location for the missiles, however, once the missiles were launched they would be guided by their internal navigation systems to determine potential movement of their target. Back in mainland Russia, the situation would be sent secretly to the Kremlin. With war believed to be immanent, the Ministry of Defense would ready various trains to load nearly 600 T-72 main battle tanks and various MT-LBs to be sent to the locations of all Naval Infantry involved in the operation. The tanks would arrive to each of the locations within 24hours. As all this occured, the 166th and 295th Missile Boat Squadrons would be met by their replenishment fleet oilers. Each of the ships would be fully refueled and their provisions restored. Axis12

TOP SECRET

TCG Akkad, The lone vessel opposing the fleet
​

The Vessels would not detonate the mines as these mines rely on the detection of magnetic steel in order to go off and as stated and if one looks up the Frankenthal Class Mine-hunter and Cubuklu-class Survey Ship they both are made with this non-magnetic steel. (The mines are not old school where you bump into them and they explode). Additionally the vessels are Mine Hunters rather than Minesweepers which work in totally different ways compared to Mine Sweepers which are soley made for detection of these mines without detonation and then the deployment of ROVs and divers who disarm the mines based on sonar. Since one cannot retroactively add that the mines are camouflaged(which was not indicated before my post and in the photo) the mines would be able to appear on sonar and found easily by diving teams who would be especially careful to disarm the Mines.

Following this extremely hostile message from the Russian Vessel, a message would be sent from TCG Akkad (MEKO 200) which was the escort of the several light vessels.

”This is TCG Akkad of the Turkish Naval Forces to HIMS Ladnyy. You are currently in violation of International law due your illegal blockade and placement of Mines in Turkish Territorial Waters. We have the right to conduct our affairs within our own waters as we please without interference from the Russian Empire. Action against our vessels is an act of war and we will not hesitate to return fire accordingly. Please acknowledge.”

TCG Yavuz would also locate the Russian 30th and 92nd Surface Fleets using its Rapids (RAMSES) ESM ELINT Radar which would pick up the signatures of the 11 vessels and report live data to Strategic Missile command and Operation Mamluk/Ilk Attack Command which would in turn ready and arm their YJ-83 Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles with the coordinates of the Russian Fleet(Missiles Stationed in Central Istanbul, 25x Total). The 801st-808th coastal defense sections would be placed on high alert and given coordinates for the Russian fleet where missiles could be fired within seconds of an order from command which was following the developments near the straits. AN/FPS-117 radars would be on high alert, looking for any possible sign of aircraft deploying from the Russian Mainland or Fleet so that corresponding Aircraft from Operation Ilk Atak could be deployed for interception. The light vessels would halt their mine hunting and stay stationary while communication with TCG Akkad was maintained in order to ensure the safety of the essentially defenseless vessels.
Bora Class Hovercraft of the 46th Heavy Coastal Patrol Squadron already on patrols would divert immediately to the west and form up together with around 1000ft between each vessel. Their destination would be the coordinates ——- where the vessels would have their Quadruple MT-206ME launchers for 3M-80E "Moskit" marine cruise missiles armed and ready for immediate attack on signal or if Russian Vessels are seen attacking Allied vessels. The Four Dost Kaan class vessels of the northern patrol area would be on high alert as they guarded the coastline from any enemy, their radars would be active and functional along with their Weapons systems. The same would go for the seven KAAN-29 class patrol craft both of which come from Operation Mamluk.

Vessels of the 1st Turkish Surface fleet already deploying from Operation Ilk Atak would depart from Gölcük Naval Base and go at 28 knots and as efficiently as possible to get to the Straits. The fleet would be fully crewed and Fueled with Non-perishable food/water for 2 months. The Following vessels would take part in the fleet to counter the Russians: TCG Izmir, TCG Adian, TCG Bodrum, TCG Ananya (Yi Sunsin-Class Destroyers), TCG Gaziantep, TCG Batman (Type 051B Luhai-class Destroyers), TCG GO-01 through 06 (G-Class Frigate), and TCG MK-01 through 04 (MEKO 200 Class Frigate). These vessels would take over two hours though to reach their destination and wouldn’t be able to assist in the event that Russian Vessels attack the small Turkish Convoy so complete reliance was on diplomacy, anti ship coastal defenses and the off chance that the situation becomes desperate that TAF F-4J II Aircraft are dispatched from TCG Ankara in Istanbul to attack the Russian Fleet.

Ankara would meanwhile be abuzz with activity due to orders from the Ministry of Defense being delivered to Army command that Indicated potential conflict with Russia. Immediate action would be taken to speed up the organization of the army armed services so that it would be easy to repel any ground invasion by foreign forces. Additionally, 500 M60 Sabra MkI Tanks and 1,000 FNSS ACV-15 would be shipped northwest as a precautionary measure so that arms could be ready Immediately to fight any Russian Threat. An Additional 400 FNSS Pars Advanced IFVs would be shipped via train to Ankara for the Amphibious Marine Brigade forces that would be in charge of coastal defense(yet to be deployed). The Forces were already highly trained compared to regular troops and the addition of these ultra advanced IFVs were critical for a Rapid response deployment against any attack. They were capable of using major highways to fulfill this role with their quick speed and agility.

MDM-2 Naval Mine From the Minefield Detonating​

Secret While the image of the mines listed in post #3 are not painted, this is due to it being a museum piece and is not reflective of the exact physical appearance of the mines used in the post, nor was them being camouflaged with the paint mentioned in the post as they are produced in factory already painted. Furthermore, while the minehunters themselves are not the 'same' as minesweepers, they still detect mines the same way: sonars (something confirmed in your post) - as such, the mines' stealth to detection would remain. Additionally, regardless of the minehunter's hull of non-magnetic steel, the mines would still be able to detect them using two other methods: the acoustics coming from the active sonars and the unique movement of water only capable of being made by the movement of a ship, both of which are detectable by the mines' internal sensors. While the mines' stealth and detection capabilities would remain intact, there were issues themselves with the minehunters used. For one, the minehunters used are the base model of the Frankenthal-class minehunters and not its subclass, A-class minehunter. As such, these minehunters would not be using the Marconi 2093 VDS but in fact the DSQS-11A sonar. Additionally, the frequency at which they were used by the minehunters was not stated and therefore it would be assumed that they are operating at VHF (Very-High-Frequency). Operating on this frequency offered more high-resolution imagery but at very low ranges, as such, while the minehunters may have been able to detect some of the mines that were not as deep they would still not be able to detect the large majority of them. Lastly, it was stated in post #8 that the minehunters would halt their operations, but it was not stated that they returned to safe waters. With all of this taken into account, it is fair to assume that the minehunters had missed some of the mines and strayed into some of their radius' and as such made them detonate: extremely damaging or completely destroying some of the minehunters. As for other Turkish ships mentioned in post #8, as none of them had been stated as having returned to port or had been resupplied at sea in the operations they were apart of despite being at sea for 3 weeks, it would be assumed that all of them had run out of provisions and fuel. Having either returned to port and remained there as their malnourished crew recovered or were stranded at sea since their loss of supplies. Additionally, as none of their positions were marked by coordinates it would be assumed that, even if they were stranded at sea, they were located near the Turkish coasts where their weapons were far out of range of any Russian vessel. Lastly, regarding the YJ-83 anti-ship missile systems. As the systems are not shown anywhere in Turkey's military structures, nor were their location listed in the production order, it would be (as per MN rules) located in Turkey's capital. As such these systems would currently be in Ankara and not central Istanbul. Boris Chilikin-class oilers; HIMS Ivan Bubnov, HIMS Iman, and HIMS Vice Admiral Paromov would all depart the location of the fleet and begin making their way back to Sevastopol Naval Base where they would resupply and take on Brahmos cruise missiles, P-500 Bazalt cruise missiles, and SS-N-14 missiles into their cargo holds in preparations for re-arming the Russian ships. The oilers would arrive as Sevastopol in roughly six hours. The Russians would receive the Turkish message and reply. "We have conducted no illegal actions. Leave the area immediately or Russia will see your presence as an act of aggression and will be responded to accordingly. We will not warn you again." At this point, all the Russian ships of the two divisions would ready their weapons. As they prepared their weapons, their radars would detect further movement coming in from the Marmara Sea to the strait. As such, further missiles were locked onto the targets - having a range of 250-800km. HIMS Ladnyy would lock-on two of its anti-ship missiles to the largest of the present ships in the strait: a MEKO 200-class frigate. HIMS Pytlivyy would lock-on two of its anti-ship missiles to the in-bound ship: TCG Ananya. HIMS Admiral Grigorovich would lock-on two of its anti-ship missiles to the in-bound ship: TCG Izmir. HIMS Admiral Essen would lock-on two of its anti-ship missiles to the in-bound ship: TCG Adian. HIMS Admiral Makarov would lock-on two of its anti-ship missiles to the in-bound ship: TCG Bodrum. HIMS Dmitry Rogachev would lock-on two of its cruise missiles to the in-bound ship: TCG Gaziantep. HIMS Pavel Derzhavin would lock-on two of its cruise missiles to the in-bound ship: TCG Batman. HIMS Vasily Bykov would lock-on two of its cruise missiles to the in-bound ship: TCG GO-01. HIMS Moskva would lock-on two of its missiles to each of the following in-bound ships: TCG GO-02, TCG GO-3, TCG GO-4, TCG GO-5, TCG GO-6, TCG MK-01, TCG MK-02. And one of the remaining two each to: TCG MK-03 and TCG MK-04. All of the ships' radars would communicate with each other and assure constant updates on the movement of the Turkish ships to assure proper lock-on. If the missiles were to be fire then they would be guided by their internal guidance systems. Additionally, to avoid potential natural obstructions, the missiles would all be set to attack ships from high altitudes rather than sea-skimming. All of the ships would also have their air defense missile systems at the ready for potential Turkish attack by air or inbound missiles - this would include the ships' CIWS weapons. The ships would not give the Turks another warning. If they did not begin withdrawing and the in-bound ships stopped approaching the strait within fifteen minutes, the ships would open fire. With tensions higher than ever, the entire Russian air force in southern Russia would be raised on high alert - prepared to take flight at a moments notice. Axis12

 

[Axis12]

TOP SECRET

The Turkish Ships Mentioned in Post #8 which include the Bora Class Hovercraft from a separate operation are clearly stated as having 2 months worth of provisions and it has not be stated how far and long they have been patrolling the waters continuously so therefore the vessels would in fact have ample munitions and would be ready for immediate deployment Against the Russians.

The 10 YJ-83 Missiles in Istanbul are in fact in the structure of the armed forces and therefore ready for action. They would lock on to HIMS Moskva with two missiles, HIMS Ladnyy with a further two missiles, 2x for HIMS Pytlivyy, 2x for HIMS Admiral Grigorovich, and 2x for HIMS Admiral Essen. The cruise missiles would use Naval radar to mainatain a lock and would fire automatically as soon as the Russians Fired.

TCG Akkad would respond to the Russian Vessel.

”I say again, you are violating international law and any action against this vessel or any other Turkish Vessel is an act of war. You are assuring your own destruction if you continue to threaten the sovereignty of Turkey, I repeat again do not under any circumstances fire upon Turkish flagged military or civilian vessels. This is an act of war and will not be tolerated.“
This message would repeated twice more in English and Russian.

A message from TCG Ankara would be sent to the lead Russian Vessel A minute later.

”This is TCG Ankara(Docked in Istanbul from Operation Ilk Atak), we are willing to withdrawal on the basis that your vessels immediately turn back to Russian waters. Diplomatic options are available, we will stand down if you stand down. This is mutually assured destruction.”

Following the increased aggression, the 1st fleet which was located at coordinates (40.83,28.89), in range of the Russian fleet and using it‘s own radar would go into standard formation with largest vessels(Destroyers) on the inside of the formation while smaller vessels would operate around the larger vessels. The Ships would all be receiving radar data from the MEKO 200 and turn west in order to line up their Missile systems if required. It was expected by the Turkish Naval Admirality that a quick and decisive attack would crush the Russians even if there were some losses due to the fact that the Turkish had the clear technological advantage. All vessels would lock in onto the Russian Ships and prepare to fire at a moments notice. Additionally the CIWS of all capable ships would be on high alert and ready to dispatch all incoming missiles from any angle, along with the 40 × SM-1 MR SAM of the g class

Vessel	Missile System	Target(All Missiles Equally Distributed)
TCG Izmir, TCG Adian, TCG Bodrum, TCG Ananya (Yi Sunsin-Class Destroyers)	32-cell Mk 41 VLS for SM-2 Block IIIA, 128x Missiles ready for simulations firing	14x SM-2MR Block IIIA Missiles for Each ship, odd numbers would not fire. HIMS Ladnyy HIMS Pytlivyy HIMS Admiral Grigorovich HIMS Admiral Essen HIMS Admiral Makarov HIMS Dmitry Rogachev HIMS Pavel Derzhavin HIMS Vasily Bykov HIMS Moskva
TCG Gaziantep, TCG Batman (Type 051B Destroyer)	32 Total YJ-12 Anti Ship Missiles	3x Missiles for each ship HIMS Ladnyy HIMS Pytlivyy HIMS Admiral Grigorovich HIMS Admiral Essen HIMS Admiral Makarov HIMS Dmitry Rogachev HIMS Pavel Derzhavin HIMS Vasily Bykov HIMS Moskva
TCG GO-01 through 06 (G-Class Frigate)	24/48 Harpoon Block ID Missiles Ready for immediate firing, 10 minutes to reposition.	2x Missiles for each Ship HIMS Ladnyy HIMS Pytlivyy HIMS Admiral Grigorovich HIMS Admiral Essen HIMS Admiral Makarov HIMS Dmitry Rogachev HIMS Pavel Derzhavin HIMS Vasily Bykov HIMS Moskva

Other Missiles with Shorter Ranges would be ready to lock on if the ships moved closer to their targets.

The 801st Naval Defense Section which was just east of Istanbul would arm it’s full( 4 launcher vehicles with missiles, 4 associated reloading vehicles and 2 command posts. The launcher vehicles receive targeting data from the dedicated command post vehicles and from external sources. Four Systems(one battery) can fire 32 Kh-35 Missiles at one time) Bal-E systems and using the radar signatures provided to it by the other vessels the four Systems would lock onto HIMS Admiral Makarov (4x), HIMS Dmitry Rogachev (4x), HIMS Pavel Derzhavin (4x), HIMS Dmitry Rogachev (4x), HIMS Pavel Derzhavin (4x), HIMS Vasily Bykov (4x), HIMS Moskva (4x), HIMS Ladnyy (4x).

Slava-class Cruiser, HIMS Moskva, Firing Its Barrage of Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles​

Secret As no response was made regarding the Turkish Frakenthal-class minehunters, it would be confirmed that at least one of them had been struck by the detonation of one of the MDM-2 naval mines and suffered such damages that the ship preceded to sink. As it is not the largest of ships, it would be assumed that just under half of its crew died from either the explosion, wounds from the explosion, or from events that followed the explosion - a total of 20 sailors. The remaining would currently be stuck at sea, clinging to debris and awaiting saving. As per Wikipedia, the Bora-class Missile Hovercraft is only able to store 15 days worth of provisions (as per its endurance) - as such, cannot have 2 months worth. The Kaan 29-class patrol craft is far smaller than the Bora-class, thus being able to store far less provisions, as such, cannot have 2 months worth either. Furthermore, while it was never stated how long these ships had been on patrol, it had also not been stated that they either returned to port or received replenishment by vessel whilst at sea. With all of this taken into account, it would be assumed that their situation which had been stated in post #10 would remain the most realistic status of these ships. As per staff decision in post #12, the YJ-83 missile systems would be in Ankara (Turkey's capital) and not Istanbul. Lastly, as it was stated in Post #10, the Russians would have attacked within 15 minutes of the Turks not retreating. With that said, the Turkish 1st Fleet would not have been at 40.83,28.89 yet and therefore their missiles out of range of Russian vessels. Instead, by this point the fleet would be somewhere between Gebze and Gölcük Naval Base, in the northern gulf of the Armutlu Peninsula. The Russians would not give the Turks a third warning - it was war. Armed with 8 YP-85 Multi-Purpose Torpedoes each (250km range), each of the Krivak III-class frigates would fire two of these missiles with 3 seconds in-between them towards their locked-on targets listed in post #10. The missiles fired from HIMS Ladnyy would launch its missiles at sea-skimming levels (49 feet) at the speeds of 650mph heading straight to TCG Akkad, the MEKO 200-class frigate at the head of the Bosporus Straight. Those from the other Krivak-class frigates would be launched at the heights of 1,300 feet towards the in-bound 1st Fleet roughly 140km away, also at 650mph. As the missiles approached their location, they would quickly drop altitude to sea-skimming (49 feet) moments before barraging the following ships of the Turkish 1st Fleet with a total of 8 anti-ship missiles: TCG Ananya, TCG Izmir, TCG Adian, and TCG Bodrum. The YP-85s would be guided by the ships' radars before switching to their built-in infrared seeking sensors. Armed with 8 Brahmos cruise missiles each (800km range), each of the Gepard-class frigates would fire two of these cruise missiles with 3 seconds in-between them towards their locked-on targets listed in post #10. The missiles would be launched to an altitude of 650 feet towards the in-bound 1st Fleet roughly 140km away, at 3,070mph. Quickly, they would begin dropping in altitude as they approached their targets, to sea-skimming levels of 32 feet moments before barraging the following ships of the Turkish 1st Fleet with a total of 6 Brahmos cruise missiles: TCG Gaziantep, TCG Batman, and TCG GO-01. The cruise missiles would first be guided by the ships' radars but upon being launched would be guided by their internal guidance systems. HIMS Moskva would be armed with 16 P-500 Bazalt cruise missiles (550km range) and would fire them all towards their locked-on ships of the Turkish 1st Fleet. They'd be launched in 9 different salvos. The first salvo would be a single missile, flying to an altitude of 3,000 feet and use its built-in active radar to assure proper coordinated hits from the other 15 P-500 Bazalt missiles. The other missiles would be launched in 7 salvos of two and an eight salvoes of a single missile. These 15 other missiles would fly at a shorter altitude of 600 feet. They would all head towards the Turkish 1st Fleet, descending to an altitude of 165 feet before plunging down on the Turkish fleets. The following ships would be met with two missiles each: TCG GO-02, TCG GO-03, TCG GO-04, TCG GO-05, TCG GO-06, TCG MK-01, TCG MK-02 and the following ships would be met with one missile each: TCG MK-03, and TCG MK-04. The P-500 missile acting as guidance would be the last to plunge down on the fleet. With a total of 30 anti-ship missiles barraging the Turkish fleet and the fact that they were still in voyage, it would be assumed that the sheer among of these missiles overwhelmed the unexpecting fleet and the majority of the missiles made it through any attempts of the Turks shooting them down. HIMS Moscow would remain on high alert, with its over 180 anti-air missiles and various other weaponry - assuring the fleet's air superiority. At Sevastopol Naval Base, HIMS Ivan Bubnov and HIMS Istra would arrive and empty their cargo, followed by a refueling and re-supply. After emptying their cargo, each of the replenishment ships would safely take on the following amount of missiles - all stored inside highly protective casings: x8 P-500 Bazalt cruise missiles, x3 Brahmos cruise missiles, and x5 YP-85 multi-purpose torpedoes. Alongside this, each vessel would also take on the following: 1,000 tons of drinking water, 220 tons of provisions, and 5,000 tons of fuel. Once they were full with cargo, they would both depart Sevastopol Naval Base and make their way back to the Russian fleet - reaching it in approximately six hours. Upon the moment of the Russia Navy deciding to fire, a signal was sent to the 166th Missile Boat Squadron and 295th Missile Boat Squadron - they too were to fire off their cruise missiles and keep both their radars and anti-air and CIWS weapons at the ready. 166th Missile Boat Squadron, still located at 42.243623, 39.662534, would begin launching their cruise missiles at Turkish locations in the Black Sea Region. Russia would know of all the Turkish Black Sea Region military installations due to their locations having been public in the past. HIMS Bora would launch one of its 3M80MVE "Moskit" cruise missiles at RDR 24 located at 41.13,40.85, HIMS Vyshniy Volochyok would launch one of its missiles at ADR 4 located at 40.95,41.31, HIMS Samun would launch one of its missiles at RDR 23 located at 41.05,37.67. HIMS Orekhovo-Zuyevo would launch all 8 of its missiles to Samsun Air Force Base where 3 of the missiles would target the ramp and aircraft stands (41.260158, 36.553444, 41.259214, 36.554807, 41.258230, 36.556062) and 5 of the missiles to the runway itself (41.262432, 36.556008, 41.260480, 36.558658, 41.258327, 36.561791, 41.254617, 36.566866, 41.250665, 36.572563), HIMS Ingushetiya would fire 6 of its 8 missiles to the Turkish PAVE PAWS radar network located at Erzincan, lastly HIMS Grayvoron would fire two of its missiles to Samsun Air Force Base's helicopter hangar (41.259446, 36.547610). All of the missiles, to avoid the mountainous areas of the region, would be launched to a flight altitude of 2,000 feet and would quickly descent upon coming in vicinity of their targets. As the region did not have any air defense systems and as the missiles would reach all of their target locations within 2 minutes (and as such the Samsun AFB would not have time to react), it would be assumed that all radar stations would be destroyed and that Samsun Air Force Base's runway and aircraft ramps and stands were left inoperable. As a total of x6 Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma helicopters were at the base and the helicopter hangars had also been attacked, it would be assumed that these as well would be destroyed. 295th Missile Boat Squadron, still located at 42.413950, 37.205995, would also begin launching its cruise missiles at Turkish locations in the Black Sea Region. HIMS Shuya would fire one of its 4 P-270 Moskit 3M80MVE cruise missiles at RDR 21 (42.05,35.01), HIMS Burya would fire one of its missiles at RDR 22 (41.67,35.95), HIMS Veter would fire one of its missiles at ADR 3 (41.13,36.34), HIMS Naberezhnya Chelny and HIMS Ivanovets would fire all of their cruise missiles (8 in total) to Merzifon Air Force Base where 4 would hit the western airstrip (40.824533, 35.505559, 40.828121, 35.512179, 40.835248, 35.525494, 40.838608, 35.531835) and 4 would hit the eastern airstrip (40.822055, 35.508178, 40.825481, 35.514680, 40.832479, 35.527608, 40.836018, 35.534303). Again, as there was no air defense in the region and the missiles would all reach their locations in less than 2 minutes, it would be assumed that the radars were destroyed and the Merzifon Air Force Base extremely damaged and likely that some of its stored F-5 Tiger III Interceptors were either damaged or destroyed. Upon the completion of their barrage, the 295th Missile Boat Squadron would begin sailing to the coordinates of: 42.538787, 33.931211, to arrive there within a few hours. Additionally, all missiles would be guided by their internal guidance system after having been given their initially target location by the ships' computers and sensors/radars. Back on mainland Russia, both the Airborne and the Naval Infantry were all being mobilized. The Russian radars and air force all remained on high alert and would be able to deploy within a moment's notice. Axis12

The Frakenthal-class minehunter would indeed be hit by the mines and begin sinking rapidly with half of the crew dead and the other half shell shocked or severely injured. 2x AS332 Super Puma helicopters armed with two Exocet AM39 Anti Ship Missiles would be dispatched by the gendarmerie as part of Operation Mamluk to conduct emergency pickup of the stranded sailors, the helicopters would fly just 20 feet from sea level to avoid detection on radar and proceed to carefully pick up the remaining sailors from the wreckage though they would find just 12 men since most were trapped on board or died in the waters with their injuries. The Helicopters would fly back to Istanbul still at 30 feet and offload the crew who would be taken to hospitals for their injuries. The Helicopters were to begin low level patrols south of Istanbul as soon as they were re fueled.

The Bora Class Hovercraft would be participating a refueling exercise at Aksaz Naval base and would be re stock here but still would be unable to participate in the conflict. As for the other patrol craft, they were already conducting routine re supplies as standard with any patrol craft(one can’t say every 48 hours the ships re supply) and would be active but told to stay close to shore since they were no match for any threat the Russians might have. They would disguise their tracker as a Turkish fishing vessel and move at speeds of 12 knots unless threatened so that the Russians could not target the vessels as the patrolled the coastline.

The YJ-12 Cruise missiles(10x) were shipped to Istanbul under armed escort by ZIPKIN PMSS vehicles of the 1st army and will realistically arrive in several hours but would be unavailable for any present conflict with the Russians.

The Sole MEKO 200(TCG Akkad) would activate all measures possible to avoid the incoming two anti ship cruise missiles. The Frigate would be armed with 1 × Mk 41 Mod 8 VLS for 32 × RIM-162 ESSM Sea Sparrow PDMS and 3 × Oerlikon Contraves Sea Zenith25mm CIWS gun systems via infrared and radar lock and fire immediately on all incoming missiles, the Sea sparrow missiles were the first to reach the cruise missiles followed by the three Sea Zenith Systems firing a total of 2400 Rounds per minute. It‘s safe to assume the frigate would be safe from the cruise missiles(unless there is an issue I’m unaware of) and the ship would fire off it’s eight 8 × RGM-84 Harpoon missiles at the Russian

In regards to the 30 Anti ships missiles fired at the 1st attack fleet there would be zero surprise from any of the vessels and while they were sailing the ships were already as stated on high alert so all Anti Missile systems would be in on full alert to take down any threat, and in addition the Anti Missile Systems and CIWS are fully operable while in transit so this would have no negative effect on the ship‘s defense capabilities.
Immediately after the Russians fired their missiles radars across the board would begin to pick up the presence of multiple supersonic missiles heading for the fleet at high altitude towards the fleet. Immediately each of the four Yi Sunsin Class Destroyers would arm their 1 × 30 mm Goalkeeper CIWS and 1 × RAM Block 1 CIWS loc,king on with infrared and passive Radio Frequency systems. The Two Type 051B Destroyers would each activate their 2 x Type 1130 CIWS and 16 HQ-9 SAM and lock on via infrared and Radar. The six G class frigates Would activate their Electronic warfare systems and flare systems( SLQ-32(V)5, Flight III with sidekick, Mark 36 SRBOC, AN/SLQ-25 Nixie) which would activate as soon as the Cruise Missiles began to close in on the convoy, throwing them off course and away from the Frigates. They would also each activate and lock onto Incoming Misiles also with their Mk 15 Phalanx CIWS via infrared lock. The four MEKO 200(Barbados class Frigates) would each activate their 1 × Mk 41 Mod 8 VLS for 32 × RIM-162 ESSM Sea Sparrow PDMS and 3 × Oerlikon Contraves Sea Zenith25mm CIWS gun systems via infrared and radar lock. Considering all this firepower and the fact that there were literally more CIWS systems(Not including VLS) than Russian Missiles the massive display of Missile Defense would quickly down the already inaccurate Russian Missiles(Radar lock is through major landmass and while canon this is impossible IRL and it’s not detailed the impact of accuracy this could have on the missiles) with a barrage of EWS, Flares, Anti-Anti Ship Missiles, and CIWS. Only one vessel(unless staff feel differently) would be hit by the Russian missiles, that being TCG GO-3 which would be hit Directly in the bridge of the vessel, crippling it and causing a massive explosion at it’s critical centers which would kill a vast majority of it’s 222 crew(193 Killed), the rest would evacuate via life rafts as the ship sunk to the bottom of the sea and would be picked up by Coast Guard KAAN-29 class patrol vessels operating during Operation Mamluk.

The 801st Coastal Defense Section notified of incoming projectiles from the Russian Bora class and would fire at their pre ordered targets with radar guidance(HIMS Admiral Makarov (4x), HIMS Dmitry Rogachev (4x), HIMS Pavel Derzhavin (4x), HIMS Dmitry Rogachev (4x), HIMS Pavel Derzhavin (4x), HIMS Vasily Bykov (4x), HIMS Moskva (4x), HIMS Ladnyy (4x).). The section would then be defended by nearby MIM-104 Patriot missiles which would fire at incoming missiles. The systems would reload and prepare to fire again.

There were four MIM-104D (PAC-2/GEM) missile systems which were part of the Radar Defense NEtwork and had been stationed in Istanbul for almost a year at this point. Following emergency calls with command the Missile systems(Include command and radar) would activate and be active search radar for any missiles that could be fired from the Russian Fleet, with orders to take down any missiles directed towards TCG Ankara or the 1st Fleet. A lone SA-10C "GRUMBLE" S-300PMU also stationed in Istanbul would activate and target any missiles that could target the 1st fleet as well, it would be a full system and use up to date missile radar systems. The systems upon their activating would target several missiles fired at the fleet if they were to make it somehow past the Air defense systems already used.

Samsun Air base would be defended by 2x HQ-9 stationed just south of the air base(these were not known to the Russians since they were bought after the data leak), the 8 total missiles would target the incoming cruise missiles and since they were much faster than the sub sonic cruise missiles launched by the Russians. The six missiles would be downed by the 8 HQ-9 missiles and the helicopters would secretly evacuate to Sinop civilian airport. Merzifon Air base was also defended by the Sam HQ-9 Systems(the missiles were stationed at the air base well before this post) and would fire the remaining two missiles at their disposal at the incoming Russian Cruise Missiles since they used their missiles to defend against the Russian Missiles fired at Samsun AFB to the north. The Aircraft there were on the same alert levels as stated in operation Mamluk and already fueled and ready to fly at a moments notice. Five Aircraft would escape before the missiles struck, departing to Ankara International Airport the crew death total was around 60 since the airport was evacuated. All radars were destroyed.

Everything is radar guided and all systems are on high alert. J-10A Aircraft are being finished in Ankara and will be ready to deploy soon. All of this is top secret.

⌈ ROLEPLAY NOTICE ⌋

Hello Alex and Axis12 ,

The two HQ-9 Sam Systems defending Samsun Air Base in Post #15 are Void. These were structured after the start of the war, which is not allowed. As per the rules, these would be based in the Capital City of Ankara and will need to be moved in-character with the use of roleplay. Please continue with that knowledge in mind.

A Tupolev Tu-160 of the Heavy Bomber Regiment Taking Off.​

Secret Despite the helicopters flying at only 20 feet, the radars of the Russian ships could detect aircraft at altitudes of 0m and as such, their low altitude would not matter. With a radar range of near 300km, the Slava-class cruiser HIMS Moskva, would detect the helicopters the moment they began flying over water. With the mine-hunter having been recently sunk, it was believed at first that these helicopters were to be used for a search and rescue operation, however, when the radar picked up the electromagnetic radiation from the missiles the helicopters were carrying it was believed they were coming in to attack the Russian fleet and action was taken immediately. HIMS Moskva would target the helicopters and fire off two S-300F anti-air missiles per helicopter for four in total. With a missile speed of nearly 6,800km/h and a helicopter speed of roughly 300km/h, it would be impossible for the helicopters to maneuver out of the way or evade the missiles - the two Turkish Super Puma helicopters would be destroyed over the Black Sea, all those inside would be assumed dead. As it was stated in previous posts, the only radar on high alert on the MEKO 200 was the Rapids (RAMSES) ESM ELINT Radar. While this radar has great ranges of 900km+, it is an ELINT radar used for detecting radar transmissions and would not be able to detect any incoming missiles. As the ship's air search radar was not being actively used, it would be assumed it was operating at its lowest power setting, which would only allow the radar to detect incoming targets within a 5km radius around the ship and performed only 6 rotations-per-minute. Additionally, as the missile fired towards the ship was set in anti-ship mode (as it was fired against a ship) it would be heading towards the MEKO 200 at an altitude of 49 feet. With the ships being roughly 95km away from the MEKO, the missile would reach its target in roughly five and a half minutes. The missile. YP-85 Multi-Purpose Torpedo, was named as such as it was a torpedo attached to a missile with a medium-sized warhead that can be used to propel the torpedo over great distances before dropping it into the water and continuing forward to hit the ship - giving a single projectile two chances to kill a vessel. With that said, the moment the missiles reached the distance of 5km from the vessel, they would drop the torpedoes equipped to them and continue towards the ship. Once in the water, the torpedoes would remain at a depth of roughly 8 feet and propel forward at the speed of 41kt, reaching their target in roughly 10 seconds. As for the missiles themselves, they would be detected by the Turkish radar once they had entered the 5km radius around the ship, however, as the radar was operating at 6rmp it would take roughly 10 seconds for the radar to react and roughly 8 seconds to send the proper calculations to the ESSM missiles - this is very similar to the speeds the ships' CIWS would be able to react in. With the missiles' speeds of ~1,056km/h, the missiles would hit the ships within 17 seconds. It would be highly unlikely that the MEKO 200-class frigate would be able to take the missiles down, however if they somehow did then the two torpedoes dropped into the water would reach the ship in just under 4 minutes. With the ship at a full stop and unknowing of the torpedoes heading towards them at the speed of 41knots, it would be assumed that even if they somehow survived the missiles, they would be decimated by the two torpedoes. As it was never stated that the 1st Fleet was on high alert and was only stated to have been using its radars when they had arrived to their destination, the fleet would in fact be taken by surprise as they made their way towards their destination. The radars equipped on the Yi Sunsin-Class Destroyers were the same as the MEKO 200-class and as such it would be assumed that they currently had a 5km search radius and would take roughly 18 seconds to send all details to their launching systems. The Type 051B Destroyers were equipped with the Type 360 Radars which, due to their current low power usage, would be assumed to have a current search radius the same as the AN/SPS-49 at 5km and, running at 15rpm, would take roughly 12 seconds to send all details to their launching systems. The G-class Frigates were equipped with the Smart-S Mk2 radars which, due to their current low power usage, would be assumed to have a current search radius of roughly 40km and, running at 13.5rpm, would take roughly 13 seconds to send all details to their launching systems. Lastly, none of the ships were listed in their deployment post as having armament other than the SM-2 Block IIIA (Yi Sunsin-class destroyers), the YJ-12 (Type 051B destroyers), and the Harpoon Block ID (G-class frigates) and as such it would be assumed that other than this armament - the vessels were unarmed. It all of this taken into account, it would be assumed that all the missiles sent towards the 1st Fleet had hit their targets and all ships within the fleet destroyed as they had no way of defending themselves. Additionally, due to them now having sunk, no missiles would have been sent against the Russian fleet north of the Bosporus Strait. The moment all of their missiles had been fired, the fleet would begin moving at maximum speeds north towards a safer location at 43.175290, 30.334463. Since they moved the moment their missiles were fired and not the moment they hit their targets, the Russian fleet would have begun moving minutes before any radars potentially detected said missiles. As for the incoming missiles from the Turkish Bal systems, since the fleet had begun moving away following their attack on Turkish vessels, the systems would be unable to find the vessels and the missiles would simply crash into the Black Sea due to their range of 120km which is only slightly short of reaching Russian vessels. However, in the events that somehow these missiles were able to make their way to the fleet, the constant radar sweeps of the high-alert vessels would allow them to detect the in-bound missiles from the moment they were launched from main-land Turkey. As such, they would have been locked-on long before they came close to the ships and would be targeted with the ships' Osa missiles which had ranges of 15km+ and speeds much higher than that of the Kh-55 but would also be targeted by the ships CIWS (guns and missiles included). Each ship would fire a total of 10 of their Osa missiles, for a total of 90 missiles, which would be just over 2 missiles per in-bound anti-ship Bal missile. Additionally, all CIWS were on standby for potential missiles that may have squeezed through the barrage. Of course, this would all be done only if the missile were able to reach over their 120km range. If they did, they would be destroyed before getting anywhere close enough to do any damage to the ships due to the Osa missiles. As the Russian fleet retreated, the 4 newly built Talwar-class frigates would depart Sevastopol Naval Base fully crewed, supplied, fueled, and armed. They would begin making their way south with their radars active and armaments at the ready, prepared to defend the maneuver of the Russian fleet. Their anti-ship missiles would all be ready to be fired at a moments notice. As for the 4 MIM-104D (PAC-2/GEM) and 1 SA-10C "GRUMBLE" S-300PMU, as they had never been stated as being on alert or set up for proper air defense, it would be assumed that this was the first time they were setting up for those tasks. As such, due to the amount of time it would take for them to set up and enter both radar search/tracking and firing mode (roughly 30 minutes), it would be assumed that all Russian missiles fired at Turkish ships had hit their targets far before they were prepared. As such, none of the missiles would be fired down by Turkish air defense systems. Regarding the Samsun and Merzifon Air Force Bases, they would have no air defenses of any kind. As such, all Russian cruise missiles would hit their targets without any obstacles. Additionally, despite the Turkish aircraft being on 'alert', the speed of the Russian cruise missiles would make it impossible for any of the aircraft stationed at these bases to escape in time. Merzifon Air Force Base is roughly 235km away from the Tarantul-class corvettes that distance added to the fact that the missiles were only detected roughly 205km away (if we take into account the range radius of Turkey's coastal radars) and as such the missiles would reach the base within 3 minutes and 19 seconds. As for Samsun Air Force Base, it is only roughly 265km away from the Bora-class hovercrafts, that distance with the coastal radars taken in would have them detected at roughly 235km and as such would reach their target in roughly 3 minutes and 49 seconds. Additionally, it takes roughly 7 minutes for a jet to have its engine fully turned on and be airborne, as such the missiles would have hit the base about a minute and a half before they were able to hit the runway. As for helicopters, it takes roughly 5 minutes to do all proper inspections and have the engine fully turned on, as such the missiles would have hit the base roughly 1 minute before they had taken off. The air bases were destroyed and unusable and it would be assumed that the majority of the aircraft stationed were also destroyed. All other attacks that occurred in Post #14 would have been considered successful due to no retaliation. 295th Missile Boat Squadron would now have reached its destination at 42.538787, 33.931211. Once there, HIMS Shuya would target one of its missiles to RDR 20 (41.95,33.31) and fire, then it would target ADR 2 (41.34,32.01) and fire, and then would target RDR 19 (41.37,31.86) and fire. Without any air defense in the region, these would all be confirmed kills. As for HIMS Burya and HIMS Veter they would have 6 cruise missiles combined and would fire them all at Bertīn Naval Base. 3 would target the main building located at 41.682941, 32.237272, one for each. And the other 3 would target the harbor itself at 41.685193, 32.229494. With no air defense in the region, all missiles would hit their targets and it would be assumed that a large majority of the equipment and personnel assigned there would be destroyed and the naval base left inoperable. When the 295th Missile Boat Squadron had completed its missile strike, it and the 166th Missile Boat Squadron would both depart their locations and head towards Novorossiysk Naval Base where they would refuel and rearm, arriving there within a few hours. Back on mainland Russia, the Heavy Bomber Regiment in Saratov would be called upon for their role in this operation. The 17 Tupolev Tu-160 heavy bombers would be divided into 3 squadrons: 2 with 6 Tu-160s and 1 with 5 Tu-160s. Each of the heavy bombers would be fully inspected, fueled, and supplied before take-off. Each would have a crew of 4 and be equipped with 12 Kh-55SM air-launched cruise missiles each for a total of 204 cruise missiles for the entire regiment. Each of these cruise missiles had a range of 3,000km and would be able to hit any target in Turkey from Russian airspace. As such, the 17 bombers would depart Saratov Air Force Base and begin heading south-west towards Novorossiysk, following LN>KN as their route and reach their destination in roughly 2 hours. Once they reached their destination, just over Black Sea off Novorossiysk, the first squadron of 6 Tu-160s would target various known military locations in the Turkish capital of Ankara. They would begin with eliminating the air defense systems and would fire off a total of 72 Kh-55SM cruise missiles against the S-300PMU SAM System stationed in the city. As per their production, the system would have 12 launchers with 4 missiles each for a total of 48 S-300 missiles total. With 72 missiles heading towards the system, even if the S-300 was able to shoot down the maximum of missiles possible, it would still leave a total of 24 Kh-55SMs to bypass the air defense system and obliterate the S-300PMU - leaving Ankara open to air attacks. The moment that first squadron fired off their cruise missiles, a message would be sent to the other two Tu-160 squadrons. The second squadron of 5 Tu-160s would target the high-value location of Turkey's Presidential Complex with a total of 60 Kh-55SMs. With a total of 60 cruise missiles raining down on the complex and no air defense to counter them, it would be safe to assume that the entire complex was rendered nothing more than rubble and anyone inside dead. The last squadron of 6 Tu-160s would target the Ankara International Airport with a total of 72 Kh-55SM cruise missiles. A total of 40 of the cruise missiles would target the 3 runways of the airport and the remaining 22 cruise missiles would target the various hangars and storage fields of the airport. With no air defenses in the area nor any radars to detect the incoming threat, it would be safe to assume that the airport and any aircraft stationed in it would be destroyed. Once the Heavy Bomber Regiment had fired off their cruise missiles, they would U-turn and begin making their way back to Saratov Air Force Base where they would refuel and rearm in preparation for another bombing run. With news of the strikes having occurred, all S-400 missile systems in southern Russia would be set up to begin scanning the skies with their radars and have the launchers in firing mode, prepared for potential Turkish counter-attack(s). Back in Adler, the Russian Naval Troops and Airborne had been mobilized and prepared for their invasion of Turkey for quite some time now. The first to begin the invasion of Turkey would be the Airborne. With a total of 48 Mil Mi-26 heavy lift helicopters in Adler, all 1,540 Airborne in the city would load onto the helicopters - roughly 32 per helicopter, with all of their personnel equipment. There were four targets in the invasion: Samsun, Ordu, Trabzon, and Rize. As such, 12 Mil Mi-26 helicopters would each be tasked with leading the invasion of each city respectively, roughly 384 troops per city. Once loaded up, fully fueled, and fully crewed, the 48 helicopters would divide themselves into 4 squadrons of 12 and each would head towards their respective cities. Within an hour, the helicopters would have reached the cities and without any radars to signal their arrival, the helicopters' arrival would come to a complete surprise and without any Turkish military presence in the area, they would be unopposed. Each helicopters of the squadrons would have the following tasks: 4 Mil Mi-26 helicopters would have the task of seizing the town halls of each of the cities and hopefully seize the mayor of the cities and other important people, 4 Mil Mi-26 helicopters to seize the main electrical power plants of the cities and immediately turning off the electricity of the cities, and the final 4 of the 12 helicopters in each squadron would be tasked with securing the ports of each of the cities for the incoming Naval Infantry. All these tasks, due to no military presence would be successful. The cities of Samsun, Ordu, Trabzon, and Rize were now under Russian control. Once their tasks were completed, they would begin fortifying the town halls, power plants, and ports in anticipation of potential Turkish retaliation, awaiting further Russian reinforcements. Back in Adler, the Russian Naval Infantry would use the Ondatra-class landing crafts at their disposal to load up a total of 25 vehicles on 25 landing crafts. Another 3 of these landing crafts would be used to carry a total of 60 Naval Infantry for each of the systems. These 25 vehicles would be part of the Buk missile system and would depart Adler towards the city of Samsun. Once the 28 landing crafts reached the city they would disembark at Samsun's port and immediately begin setting up radars for air search and firing their missiles, offering the Russians troops air defense. Once the landing crafts had finished disembarking the vehicles and the personnel, they would make their way back to Adler and begin deliver the same vehicles and personnel to the cities of Ordu, Trabzon, and Rize where all the Buk systems would be set up in air search and firing positions near the ports. All of this would be done within 16 hours.

Russian Naval Infantry Landing in Northern Turkey​

Secret With 72 hours having passed, all actions performed in Post #17 would be considered successful. The Turkish Super Pumas would be destroyed, alongside the entire 1st Fleet of the Turkish Navy and the lone MEKO 200-class frigate. The Samsun and Merzifon Air Force Bases would be destroyed, alongside the aircraft stored inside. RDR 20, RDR 19, and Bertin Naval Base would all be destroyed. The S-300PMU SAM system located in Ankara would have been overwhelmed by the cruise missiles and be destroyed. The Presidential Complex in Ankara would be completely leveled to the ground, anyone inside would be assumed dead. As the Complex was targeted far before the evacuation of the President, it would be assumed that if the President was inside at the time, he too would be dead. Ankara International Airport would be destroyed by the 72 cruise missiles, it would be assumed that any aircraft located at the base would also be destroyed as hangars and runways were targeted. Additionally, the cities of Samsun, Ordu, Trabzon, and Rize would now be under full Russian control, while electricity would remain in the cities, the internet would be cut off entirely in the hopes of preventing citizens from contacting the outside world. While martial law in the cities would be declared and a curfew in place, the citizens would be treated like Russians, and rations would be handed out, delivered by the Ondatra-class landing ships when not being used for military purposes - 50 tons of provisions at a time. 400 tons would be delivered to each city at a time between 8 Ondatra-class landing crafts. The 295th and 166th Missile Boat Squadrons would have reached Novorossiysk Naval Base where they would refuel, rearm, and resupply. From there, the 295th Missile Boat Squadron would depart towards 41.986544, 37.472585. Once there, they would begin patrolling the waters between Samsun and Ordu and Adler, remaining on high alert with both their radars and sensors and weapons, shooting on sight any Turkish military vessels. The 166th Missile Boat Squadron would depart towards 41.364471, 39.984849. Once there, they would do the same, patrolling the waters between Trabzon and Rize and Adler, remaining on high alert with both their radars and sensors and weapons, shooting on sight any Turkish military vessels. Back on mainland Russia, the Tupolev Tu-160s of the Heavy Bomber Regiment would have reached Saratov, landed and refueled before once again all being armed with 12 Kh-55SM air-launched cruise missiles each. Once armed, the Tu-160s would depart the air force base and follow LN>KN, towards Sevastopol. They would reach their location, just off the coast of the city, within an hour. Once there, the first squadron of 6 Tu-160s would fire all of its 72 cruise missiles towards Istanbul. They would all target the Turkish S-300PMU SAM system within the city and like the system in Ankara, it would be completely overwhelmed by the amount of missiles fired at it, eventually the system would be destroyed and the air defense of Istanbul would be severely weakened. The second squadron of 6 Tu-160s would fire all of their 72 missiles at Alemdağ Air Force Base. A total of 18 of these 72 would be fired at hangars and parking spots, targeting any aircraft that would be stationed at the air base. The remaining 54 cruise missiles would all be targeting the runways, leaving the air base completely unusable and as such, if the aircraft survived, they would not be able to get into the air. The last Tu-160 squadron of 5 bombers would target their 60 cruise missiles at Gölcük Naval Base, attempting to render the northern Turkish navy incapable of resupplying or porting. The missiles would target buildings, specifically warehouses and fuel depots, obliterating the base and rendering it a fiery inferno. Secondary targets would be docks themselves and any ships or equipment that may be ported there. All cruise missiles would be guided with their doppler radars which created terrain maps for the missiles, assuring that they avoided any and all possible obstructions and assured that they reached their targets without issue. Once all missiles had been fired, the Heavy Bomber Regiment would not return to Saratov, but instead would descend to Bel'bek Air Force Base, just north of Sevastopol. There they would refuel and rearm, prepared for another bombing run. At this point, the 30th Surface Ship Division and the 92nd Surface Ship Division would have reached Sevastopol Naval Base. There they would refuel, rearm, and resupply before departing once more. HIMS Iman and HIMS Ivan Bubnov, the Boris Chilikin-class Oilers would be equipped with the following supply equipment: Brahmos cruise missiles, P-500 Bazalt cruise missiles, SS-N-14 missiles, and Klub cruise missiles. Alongside various tons of fuel to refuel the many ships. The 30th, 92nd, and 23rd Surface Ship Divisions would depart Sevastopol Naval Base and make their way towards 41.952084, 28.625157. With them, however, would also be the 3 Alligator-class landing ships of the 7th Special Purpose Division. Each Alligator-class landing ship would carry roughly 444 Naval Infantry and their respective vehicles. The 1st Marine Battalion and its Battalion HQ, Tank Company, Naval Infantry Battalion, Grenade Launcher Platoon, Mortar Battery, and Air Defense Platoon, would be carried aboard the HIMS Saratov. The 2nd Marine Battalion and its Battalion HQ, Tank Company, Naval Infantry Battalion, Grenade Launcher Platoon, Mortar Battery, and Air Defense Platoon, would be carried aboard the HIMS Orks. The Assault Battalion and its Battalion HQ, Tank Company, Assault Battalion, Grenade Launcher Platoon, Mortar Battery, and Air Defense Platoon, would be carried aboard the HIMS Nikolay Filchenkov. The 7th Special Purpose Division would sail at the center of the formation while the 30th Surface Ship Division lead it. The 92nd Surface Ship Division would be at the rear while the 23rd Surface Ship Division would have split into two and sailed along the eastern and western sides of the fleet. All ships would remain at roughly 17knots and would all have more than enough safe room between each other to assure that no ship would hit each other and if needed, would give enough time for ships to react to potential sudden movement. They would have reached their location in roughly 3 hours. Once there, they would keep their formation, refuel if required, and begin targeting various locations throughout the Marmara Region of Turkey. All ship radars and sensors would be on the highest alert, scanning both the air, the sea, and below for any potential Turkish movements. All weapons would be at high-alert. Within the 30th Surface Ship Division: HIMS Moskva, the Slava-class cruiser, would target 8 of its 16 P-500 Bazalt cruise missiles towards Turkey's 653rd SRBM Unit. With its coordinates having been collected from the public structure and them not having been moved, it would be assumed that the 8 cruise missiles would destroy the 25 ballistic missiles within their respective buildings. Once the first 8 cruise missiles had been fired, the Slava-class cruiser would target its last 8 P-500s towards Turkey's 652nd SRBM Unit, its coordinates having been collected from the public structure. It would be assumed that the 35 ballistic missiles would have been destroyed. The assumption of both these ballistic missile units' missiles having been destroyed is that, when not used, missiles are stored within buildings and as it was never stated they had been deployed into the field, it would be safe to say that these missiles remained in these buildings, stockpiled together and easily destroyed from 8 different explosions on top of it. With no air defense, the cruise missiles would hit their targets. They would all be guided by INS. Within the 92nd Surface Ship Division: HIMS Dmitry Rogachev would target one of its Brahmos cruise missiles at RDR 17, one at ADR 1, one at RDR 16, and one at RDR 18. The remaining 4 of its Brahmos missiles would be targeted at the 801st Naval Defense Section. With no air defense in the region that could shoot down cruise missiles, it would be assumed that all targets would have destroyed in this bombardment. HIMS Pavel Derzhavin and HIMS Vasily Bykov would target its collective 16 Brahmos cruise missiles at the Istanbul Military Base where various Gendermarie units and the Marmara Command were located. Again, with no air defense in the region that could shoot down cruise missiles, it would be assumed that the Istanbul Military Base would be destroyed or rendered extremely crippled and as such the majority of its units either dead or rendered near incapable of mobilizing. With no air defense, the cruise missiles would hit their targets. They would all be guided by INS. Within the 23rd Surface Ship Division: HIMS Sashka, HIMS Falx, HIMS Acinaces, and HIMS Khanjali would target their collective 32 3M14T Kalibr cruise missiles at the Istanbul International Airport. As it was known the majority if not all of the Turkish military assets at the airport were helicopters, 30 of the missiles would be targeted towards parking spots and hangars while the last 2 would be targeted at the airport's fuel storage section where the two missiles' explosions would be able to set the entire fuel storage area aflame. Without air defense in the area, all missiles would hit their targets. They would all be guided by INS and ARH. Once the bombardment had ceased, the Boris Chilikin-class replenishment ships would begin restocking the armaments of the ships. The Krivak-class frigates would remain on stand-by with their anti-ship missiles in the events of potential Turkish attack by sea while all the ships of the fleet would have their anti-air missiles on standby in the event of an attack from the air. All radars and sonars would be constantly surveying at their highest functions. Once all restocking had been completed, the next plan of the operation would take place. The following would happen if and only if the Russian navy had received confirmation of their missiles having destroyed their targets. If they did, the four Talwar-class frigates would escort the 3 Alligator-class landing ships to their invasion point at 41.331006, 28.712855. While the 3 Alligator-class landing ships would land on the beaches, the Russian Naval Infantry landing on Turkish soil, the 4 Talwar-class frigates would remain at 41.402160, 28.700239 where the frigates would sweep the air and sea with their radars and sonars, prepared to offer land support with their cruise missiles or air defense with their SAMs. With no military in the area to stop them, the 1st and 2nd Marine Battalions and the Assault Battalion would begin seizing the area. The Assault Battalion and 2nd Marine Battalions would head north to Yenikov where they would enact martial law and begin forming defensive locations for potential Trukish retaliation, all MANPAD units would be on the highest alert in the event of Turkish helicopters entering the area. The 1st Marine Battalion would head west to Karaburun where they would enact martial law and begin forming defensive locations, all MANPAD unit would be on the highest alert in the event of Turkish helicopters entering the area. While electricity remained in the cities/towns, the internet would be cut off, alongside phone lines. As all of this occurred, the 3 Alligator-class Landing Ships would depart the beach and begin making their way back to Sevastopol Naval Base where they would board more Naval Infantry. Back at Samsun, the 35 Ondatra-class landing crafts of Adler would begin boarding all the Naval Infantry stationed at the city and bring them to the city, making various runs until the entirety of the 575 Naval Infantry of the 177th Naval Infantry Regiment and all of their vehicles were now at the port of Samsun. Meanwhile the 12 helicopters that were in Samsun would have landed at Samsun Air Base, while the runways and hangars had been destroyed, there was still suitable room for only a dozen of the helicopters, some parking in clear fields if needed, The 12 helicopters that were in Ordu would head to Ordu Air Base. The 12 in Trabzon would head to Trabzon Airport. The 12 in Rize would head to the Rize-Artvin Airport. With these four airports now serving as Russian air bases, word would be sent to mainland Russian via encrypted means. The 3rd Fighter Regiment would send its Su-27S multi-role fighters to Turkey. Each aircraft of the two squadrons of 8 fighters would be armed with x6 R-27EM air-to-air missiles and 150 rounds for their 30mm cannons respectively and would be fully fueled. The 2nd Squadron would make its way to Ordu Air Base while the 3rd Squadron would make its way to Rize-Artvin Air Base. Additionally, the 960th Attack Aviation Regiment and 368th Attack Aviation Regiment would arm each of its Su-25SM CAS with the following: x2 9K121 Vikhr Anti-Tank Missile Pods (5 missiles per pod), x2 Kh-29L air-to-surface missiles, x4 Kh-25L air-to-surface missiles, and 250 rounds for their 30mm autocannons. The 1st Squadron of the 960th would head for Ordu Air Base, the 2nd squadron of 960th would head for Trabzon Air Base, and the 1st Squadron of the 368th would head for Rize-Artvin Air Base. All aircraft would be fully fueled. All aircraft would follow the KN path and reach their respective locations within an hour's time. The Russian hold on Turkish territories had now become an iron grip. Axis12

A Destroyed Building in Istanbul​

Secret With over 120 hours now having passed, all actions performed in Post #18 would be considered successful. Ankara's anti-air defenses would have been obliterated and the city's skies now open for attack. All the aircraft located at Alemdağ Air Force Base would have been destroyed and so would the air base itself. Gölcük Naval Base and any forces stationed there would be destroyed, the base left unusable to any Turkish vessels. The 653rd and 652nd SRBM Units would be destroyed, leaving Turkish ballistic missile forces extremely crippled. RDR 16, 17, 18, and ADR 1 would all be destroyed. The Istanbul Military Base would also be destroyed, leaving thousands dead and Turkish forces in the Marmara Region essentially blind without their high command. All aircraft at Istanbul International Airport would be destroyed, however as their runways were not the airport would remain open to Russian aircraft. The 3 Alligator-class landing ships would have reached Sevastopol Naval Base and refueled and resupplied. HIMS Saratov would take aboard the following units and their vehicles: Recon, Sapper, Technical Support, Material Support, and Maintenance Platoons of the 1st and 2nd Marine Battalions, totaling to 154 personnel. HIMS Orks would take aboard the following units and their vehicles of the Assault Battalion: Recon, Sapper, Technical Support, Material Support, and Maintenance Platoons, the Self-Propelled Artillery Battalion, the Anti-Tank Battery, the UAV and Marine Cargo Escort Companies, and the Air Defense Battalion, totaling to 347 personnel. HIMS Nikolay Filchenkov would carry the Howitzer Battalion of the Assault Battalion and its vehicles, totaling to 412 personnel. Once all of these units had been loaded up, the ships would depart Sevastopol Naval Base and make their way back south to where the Russian forces had landed north of Istanbul. Upon reaching that destination, they would land upon the same beaches and the units would disembark and would meet-up with the other Russian units. Once the beaching was done, the 3 Alligator-class landing ships would once again return to Sevastopol Naval Base. Back in Crimea, the Heavy Bomber Regiment at Bel'bek Air Force Base would rearm and take flight once more. They would all be armed with 12 Kh-55SM air-launched cruise missiles each. The first squadron of 6 Tu-160 bombers would head towards Istanbul where they would launch their cruise missiles over the Black Sea. 2 of the Tu-160 bombers would launch all of their cruise missiles towards the 2 MIM-104A Patriot missile systems in Istanbul, as the MIM-104A variant of the Patriot system could not target cruise missiles, the system would be destroyed. A third bomber would target the MIM-104A Patriot system in Gölcük, firing all of its 12 cruise missiles. A fourth would target the MIM-104A Patriot missile system in İzmir, firing all of its 12 cruise missiles. The last two Tu-160 bombers would target the S-300PMU missile system located in Bursa, firing all 24 missiles. The system would be overwhelmed and destroyed. With this bombardment completed, the air defense of Turkey's Marmara Region would be obliterated and its skies open for aerial supremacy of Russia. The second squadron of 6 Tu-160 bombers would follow the lead of the first squadron and once over the Black Sea, would target various sections of the Bandırma Air Force Base. All six of the Tu-160s would fire its 12 cruise missiles, a total of 72, towards the base. 32 of these missiles would be aimed towards the various hangars of the air base and the remaining 40 would target the runways of the air base, rendering the air base inoperable. With no air defense in the region, it would be assumed the hangars would also be destroyed and the aircraft inside them would follow suit. The third squadron of 5 Tu-160 bombers would head south-east and over the Black Sea would target various military bases throughout Ankara. A total of 60 cruise missiles would be fired and would target the various bases of the 1st Turkish Command Division. With no air defenses in the region, it would be assumed that all would hit their targets and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Motorized Infantry Battalions, the 4th and 5th Armored Motorized Infantry Battalions, the 6th Artillery Support Battalion, and the 7th Armored Recon Battalion would be decimated and their vehicles and personnel obliterated. All missiles would be guided by INS and once all fires would have been fired, they would return to Bel'bek Air Force Base where they would refuel and rearm. Back in the Black Sea, the 30th and 92nd Surface Ship Divisions would begin targeting their own area with their cruise missiles. HIMS Moskva, the Slava-class cruiser, would target its 16 P-1000 Vulcan cruise missiles on the location of the Silvri Military Base, where the 3rd "Lights" Armored Brigade was located. Guided with their INS, the cruise missiles would glide without obstacles and descend upon the military base; destroying buildings, warehouses, and barracks. It would be assumed that the majority of forces and vehicles would be destroyed. The Gepard-class frigates of the 92nd Surface Ship Division would all target the same location: Kesan Military Base. A total of 24 Brahmos cruise missiles would be fired to the base, guided by their INS, unopposed by air defense it would be assumed that all missiles reached their targets of barracks, warehouses, and various buildings. It would be assumed that the majority of forces and vehicles would be destroyed. The 23rd Surface Ship Division, located off the shore of Karaburun, would also begin targeting areas in Turkey. HIMS Sashka and HIMS Falx would target their cruise missiles to Luleburgaz Military Base where 15,000 reserve infantry were currently located. A total of 16 3M14T Kalibr cruise missiles. Guided by INS, and with no anti-air in the region, the missiles would reach their target and begin hitting buildings, barracks, and warehouses. It would be assumed the majority of forces located at the base would be immensely crippled. Meanwhile, HIMS Acinaces and HIMS Khanjali would fire their own 16 cruise missiles towards Bolu Military Base. Guided by INS, and with no anti-air in the region, the missiles would reach their target and begin hitting buildings, barracks, and warehouses. It would be assumed the majority of forces located at the base would be immensely crippled. With the bombardment over, all Russian ships in the region would head back to Sevastopol Naval Base to refuel and resupply. In the meantime, the Russian ground forces would begin moving. Now fully equipped and all units present, the 1st and 2nd Marine Battalions and the Assault Battalion present at Karaburun would begin moving towards Istanbul. The Assault Battalion would head south following the D020 Highway and would follow it until hitting the 0-7 Highway and head directly south to Istanbul. They would head to Ataturk Airport where the Russians knew Turkish forces were located. The support units (HQ and logistical units) would fortify a position at 41.000821, 28.811092. The other units would continue to the airport. The mortar battery would fortify at 40.999453, 28.804376 and begin hitting Turkish aircraft and units whenever they were present. The mechanized battalion and tank company of the Assault Battalion would continue into the airport, following the paved routes. The mortar battery would assure proper accuracy and not fire if Russians forces were in the chances of being hit. The Assault Battalion's scout platoon would continue westward and fortify at 40.985686, 28.774990, scanning the area with their radars to assure no Turkish forces approached. The 1st Marine Battalion and the Self-Propelled Artillery Battalion would have followed the Assault Battalion until they reached the intersection of the 0-7 and 0-3 Highways. Once they had, they would split up from the Assault Battalion and follow the 0-3 eastward, heading north up the 0-1 until they reached the 15 Temmuz bridge. Once there, the 24 2S1M Gozdik self-propelled howitzers would begin firing on the bridge until it crumbled into the Bosporus Strait - assuring no one would be able to pass. Once this was completed, they continued north until they reached the Fatih Sultan bridge and begin doing the same. Once the second bridge was down, the units would begin heading back south until they reached the harborside of Istanbul, also known as Eminönü. As the 1st Marine Battalion headed to this area of Istanbul, the Self-Propelled Howitzer Battalion would split into two. One battery would head to 41.043249, 29.014169 while the other battery would head to 41.090327, 29.040718. They would set up and be on stand-by to open fire at potential enemy targets across the Bosporus Strait. The 1st Marine Battalion itself would split-up into various units; the support units (HQ and logistical units) would fortify at 41.002610, 28.958551, the tank company would fortify at 41.002011, 28.971039, the mechanized battalion at 41.002011, 28.971039, and the mortar battery at 41.001656, 28.960504. The 2nd Marine Battalion, unlike the other units, would head eastward following the 0-7 Highway until they reached the Yavuz Sultan bridge. Until other bridges connecting European Istanbul to mainland Turkey, this one would not be destroyed but instead defended. Following them was the Howitzer Battalion, UAV Company, the 4th Battery of the Air Defense Battalion, and the Marine Cargo Escort Company. The support units (HQ and logistical units) would fortify a position at 41.208281, 29.096331. The recon platoon would fortify at 41.208642, 29.096189, the 4th air defense battery at 41.207807, 29.095245, the Marine Cargo Escort Company at 41.209571, 29.093899, the Howitzer Battalion and UAV Company at 41.211254, 29.093368, the tank company at 41.207630, 29.099859, the mechanized battalion at 41.208324, 29.100304, and the mortar battery at 41.207896, 29.103297. All units would be on high alert and have a shoot-to-kill order for any military unit. As these units made their way into Istanbul, they would capture high-priority areas. Istanbul International Airport, government buildings, and power stations were all captured as they moved. Electricity would be shut off and martial law declared. European Istanbul and surrounding areas, other than Ataturk Airport, were now under Russian control. Back in the Black Sea Region of Turkey, Russian forces would continue their assault. In Samsun, airborne troops would board the 12 Mil Mi-24 helicopters stationed in the fields of Samsun Air Base. With 32 airborne troops inside each helicopter, the 12 would divide into 6 squadrons of 2 helicopters. The 1st Squadron would head to Alacam, the 2nd Squadron to Vezirkopru, the 3rd Squadron to Bafra, the 4th to Terme, the 5th to Carsamba, and the 6th to Ladik. One helicopter from each of these squadrons would land at the city/town's power station while the other landed at the main government building. With no military presence in the area, these locations would fall to Russian troops and give them control of the settlements. With the major settlements of Samsun Province now under Russian control, it would be fair to assume the entire province would follow suit. In Ordu, the same would occur, 12 helicopters divided into 4 squadrons of 3 helicopters with 32 airborne troops each. The 1st Squadron would head to Unye, the 2nd to Akkus, the 3rd to Gurgentepe, and the 4th to Mesudiye. They would capture power stations and main government buildings. The towns/cities would fall under Russian control and the Ordu Province would do the same. Once the missions were accomplished, the airborne troops would remain but the helicopters would return to their respective bases. In Trabzon, airborne troops would board the 12 Mil Mi-24 helicopters stationed in the fields of Trabzon Air Base. With 32 airborne troops inside each helicopter, the 12 would divide into 6 squadrons of 2 helicopters. The 1st Squadron would head to Vakfikebar, the 2nd Squadron to Macka, the 3rd Squadron to Basar, the 4th to Caykara, the 5th to Of, and the 6th to Arakli. One helicopter from each of these squadrons would land at the city/town's power station while the other landed at the main government building. With no military presence in the area, these locations would fall to Russian troops and give them control of the settlements. With the major settlements of Trabzon Province now under Russian control, it would be fair to assume the entire province would follow suit. In Rize, the same would occur, 12 helicopters divided into 4 squadrons of 3 helicopters with 32 airborne troops each. The 1st Squadron would head to Findikli, the 2nd to Ardesen, the 3rd to Sivrikaya, and the 4th to Iyidere. They would capture power stations and main government buildings. The towns/cities would fall under Russian control and the Rize Province would do the same. Once the missions were accomplished, the airborne troops would remain but the helicopters would return to their respective bases. After the four provinces had entered Russian control, the 177th Naval Infantry Regiment stationed in Samsun would begin moving south-westward. Following the D795 Highway, they would capture Merzifon, Corum, and Kirikkale, and all the towns along the way. Now located near MKEK Muhimmat Fabrikasi, the Regiment would fortify a position in an open field, setting up radars and air defenses and artillery. A shoot-to-kill order was given for any military unit that entered the area. They would have been covered by Su-25s along the way, with the Su-27s being on stand-by in events of air attacks. Until another bombardment took place, the Regiment would hold position, only an hour away from Ankara's downtown. Back in mainland Russia, the air force would begin sending forces. The 38th Fighter Regiment would send its 16 Su-27S multi-role fighters of its two squadrons to Istanbul International Airport, now under Russian control. Each Su-27S would would be armed with x6 R-27EM air-to-air missiles and 150 rounds for their 30mm cannons respectively and would be fully fueled. The 368th Attack Aviation Regiment would send its 28 Su-25SM close air support aircraft to the airport, each aircraft armed with x2 9K121 Vikhr Anti-Tank Missile Pods (5 missiles per pod), x2 Kh-29L air-to-surface missiles, x4 Kh-25L air-to-surface missiles, and 250 rounds for their 30mm autocannons. In Rostov-on-Don, Rostov Oblast, the 30th Separate Transport Mixed Aviation Regiment would load a total of 120 personnel on its 3 Antonov An-26 transport planes, 40 per. These personnel would be taken from the Imperial Ground Forces' 103rd Mechanized Regiment, also based in Rostov-on-Don. Each aircraft would transport 11 field command personnel and 29 infantry. They too would land at Istanbul International Airport and would be tasked in defending the base. All forces resupply, refuel, and eat and drink their necessary rations before returning to their tasks. Russia was now on the verge of ending the war. Axis12

 

[Axis12]

All forces would surrender to the Russians. All targets of the Russians would be met without response and no further conflict would occur to resist the Russians. The Turkish Forces would complete their defensive operations and await the arrival of the Russians in Ankara.
