The Battle of Tskhinvali, which unfolded in the early hours on August 8th, 2008, was a pivotal and highly volatile episode in the longstanding conflict between Georgia and Russia. The conflict erupted when Georgian forces launched an assault on the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali, aiming to regain control over the breakaway region of South Ossetia, which had declared independence from Georgia in the early 1990s.
Russia swiftly responded by sending its military forces into South Ossetia, ultimately leading to a five-day war. The conflict resulted in significant casualties and widespread destruction, particularly in Tskhinvali and the surrounding areas. Within South Ossetia, Georgia still had control over multiple regions, including Artsevi and most of eastern South Ossetia.
Your are tasked with flying your SU-25 towards South Ossetia to provide CAS and to take out important targets. One being the South Ossetian/Russian military base and the other being the bridge, crucial for transporting equipment. Those should be taken out quickly, then you can move on to taking out the artillery and mortar positions. Our recon elements have not found out where they are yet, so you will have to look carefully. And if you still have enough ammo, destroy the main convoy of the 19th Motor Rifle Division and the South Ossetian convoy close to the bridge, however if you are not able to do so, it should be fine. Do not worry about the one approaching from the east, as they are heading straight into the minefield. Happy Hunting!
