Payavlenie Ravine

This location is seen in Ace Combat 05: The Unsung War and VS Mode Mission Four in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. The Payavlenie Ravine is northeast of Cruik Fortress (Yuktobanian Defensive Line). The surrounding area of Cruik Fortress and the Payavlenie Ravine area are similar, but the two regions do have their differences. One of the main notable observations is the lack of vegetation. The ravine walls and the surrounding area seem to consist of sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. This also accounts for the steep and craggy landscape of this area. The river that flows through the area possibly originates in the northern region of Cinigrad, the Yuktobanian Capital city. There are no towns or any other signs of civilization, besides the various automated surface-to-air missile sites that cover the entire region.

Circum-Pacific War (Op. Riverbed) In the middle of the Curcum-Pacific War, unbeknownst to Yuktobanian and Osean leaders, Belkan Forces had managed to unearth two V1 nuclear missile warheads from the Belkan War and smuggled them out of the country, in hopes of using them against Yuktobania and Osea. In Yuktobania, Freedom Fighters had managed to steal one of the two nuclear warheads and take it to their headquarters in Payavlenie Ravine. The Freedom Fighters radioed for support and received support from the Razgriz Air Division aboard the Aircraft Carrier Kestrel.

The Razgri supported the Freedom Fighters, as they were attempting to dismantle the bomb, below the rim of the ravine. Due to the missile defense net over the entire area. Eventually all Yuktobanian Forces pulled back from the area and the Yuktobanian

Payavlenie Ravine is the headquarters of the Yuktobanian Freedom Fighters. On December 16, 2010, Razgriz Squadron was sent there to locate one of the two V1 tactical nuclear devices that the Belkans have given to the Yuktobanian military forces. By the time they got there, they found the Freedom Fighters trying to defuse the device. Razgriz began to destroy the local Yuktobanian Naval and Air Forces that was sent into the region to stop the Freedom Fighters. After the local military forces are “persuaded” to leave the area, the integrated Yuktobanian Aggressor Squadron, Ofnir, tried to stop the Razgriz. In the end, all 4 of Ofnir's Su-35 Super Flankers are all but shot down. The Freedom Fighters sent out via a submarine to scatter the defused pieces of the device to the bottom of the Ceres Ocean.
