RECCE information for Operation Silent Night

post gathered information guys.

--

Sooooo, what did you want me to add?

--

Real soldiering? Those planes weren't even MIG-29's, they were SU-34's, ha, got you there. Seems we did some real soldiering too.

--

Also, you might want to add that one of the planes was surrounded bij a fuel and repair trucks, and pylons around it, suggesting it might have taken battle damage and is inactive or just up for some repairs.

And that there was room for 3 BMP's, that means 2 might be on patrol or away for something else, considering they're amphibious, they might just be back tomorrow. Also, the large number of troops and the low number of accomedation for them, just one tent, might suggest that there is another base in the vicinity.

And I collect planes for a hobby, I know cause those cockpits were 2 seaters.

Also the map said SU-34.

Haha, barry jesus, i only made a nice little report and there you go and beat me to it, still got some accurate maps i cant upload.......so alls good,

--

Hahaha, well, I could tell anyway. Besides, the seats are next to eachother, not behind, that's one of the things of the SU-34. I was using the map to see where we were

got some plans, maps, quite detailed, the forum wont let them on, go onto gallery to take a look 4 in total. thanks to tim for getting them on for little old me.

Report Recce Team 1

What we spotted:

50+ infantry.

3 SU-34's of which one seemed to be getting repaired + refuelled and might have taken damage considering it was surrounded by pylons.

1 BMP-2, but room for 2 more, which might indicate that there is more of them.

1 Fuel station with eight Silo's.

1 Ammunition dump containing 2 ammo trucks.

3 MI-17 armed with rockets

From our position we could only see two AA sites, one on the east side of the runway and one on the westside on the runway.

The coordinates of the aircraft were JA-11.

Also there were more then 50+ troops which might indicate another base nearby considering there is not enough accomedation for that amount of troops. There was one army tent.

There were four containers, what exactly they were containing remains unknown.

Also there was one hangar building.
