You are a Ka-50 pilot for the infamous Russian mercenary outfit known as the Wagner Group. You and your fellow Russian patriots have been hired to help the local government in the city of Jiroft to stamp out a rebellion that has proven to be far too tactically and technologically advanced for the government to handle on its own. The Wagner Group forces deployed are comprised of two Ka-50 attack helicopters, maintenance crews and a handful of armed guards. For now, tepid approval from Moscow on Wagner Group’s involvement in the conflict means this is all the assets available in the region, but it should prove more than enough to turn the tide of the battle.
Government forces are amassing in southern Jiroft in advance of a major offensive aimed at retaking the Northern half of the city. With the resupply rout cut off and most of their surface to air assets destroyed, the rebel forces are vulnerable and desperate. Light skirmishes continue to take place along the dry riverbed that separates the two forces but an uptick in violence is expected as the offensive begins.
