1. Attack and destroy enemy defences.
2. All three Companies must survive.
Oh, these fields, so many families they have fed. Now they are only battlegrounds... Only a moment and everything turned upside down...
After first combat alarm our forces were deployed on the northern outskirts of Vladikavkaz, at their combat assembly point. We barely halted the Ingushetian offensive. The airforce has its significant role during the battle. With help of aviation we just broke their backbone. For now they are not able to organize any heavy offensive operations. After the battle our first attempts to enter Nazran is failed. They have turned this city into a deffencive stronghold. They are using left behind artillery pieces of our Troitskaya artillery brigade.The result of our not organized withdrawal. Yes, Beslan Airfield from time to time is under heavy shelling.
During these two days our forces already managed to take positions all along the ingushetian border. The neighboring Chechen republic has declared its neutralitet in this war and doesn't allow any foreign military activities in their territory.
Now for the northern border of Ingushetia. Towns in northern parts of republic are not heavily defended but enemy already has deployed air deffence systems. This is a direct threat to aeiral space of Mozdok's airfield. Today's our main task is - close air support for Motor Rifle Battalion attacking in nine platoon formations and liberation of Terskiy Ridge from enemy. Enemy uses these highgrounds for artillery fire. Demilitarization of these towns is the best that can happen, specialy when towns are not heavily defended.
