Battle of Sudentor



 Battle of Sudentor

The Battle of Sudentor was the thirty-first battle of the Circum-Pacific War. It was a battle fought over the Osean city of Sudentor, formerly South Belka. It was fought to try to defeat the Grey Men (working under the cover of Gründer Industries). This is the final mission including ground opposition.

Before the Conflict
A couple of days before this mission, the Osean 108th Wardog Tactical Fighter Squadron were branded as traitors and presumed to be Yuktobanian spies, forcing them to escape Sand Island AFB. Allen Hamilton helped the Osean Military seek this false information. It turns out to be that Allen Hamilton was a member of the Belkan Grey Men: he was one of the many Belkan War veterans that seeked revenge against Yuktobania and Osea. The V2 that "A World With No Boundaries" was hiding and thought to be destroyed by Ustian mercenary Cipher, or Galm 1, was loaded to the Strategic Orbital Linear Gun, a satellite planned to counter the Excalibur chemical laser tower, which was never finished, but was completed 15 years later by the Grey Men. The Yuke prime minister Nikanor was rescued from Belkan reclusion, and after staying for several days aboard the OFS Kestrel), made a speech at Bright Hill, Oured. During the speech, Osean President Vincent Harling and Nikanor called for peace and changed the hearts of many soldiers on the battlefield, Osean & Yuke alike. Grunder Industries was threatening to launch the V2 nuclear missile procured from the Belkan War either to Yuktobania or Osea (as stated on the speech, the V2 was said to be "strong enough to destroy almost 50% of one of either country's cities).

Operation: The Unsung
After hearing the speech (and after discovering the truth behind the Circum Pacific), all active soldiers on the battlefield instantly ceased all conflicts, while the forces near Sudentor joined to fight one last battle to finish off Belka. Razgriz, already arriving to the scene, then saw a 4 man Su-27 Yuktobanian formation. But they suddenly changed sides and joined Razgriz; then a 4 man 2 F-16 and 2 F/A-22A team of Osean fighters also joined. Then a squadron of 6 helicopters joined the fight and a Yuktobanian AWACS also joined the fight. With this incredible force, Razgriz meet the enemy at Sudentor. Pops then informed the Razgriz Squadron that the last cargo was shipped out of Basset Space Center to the SOLG. He tells the squadron that Grunder Industries detected the arrival of the allied Osen/Yuke joint battallion; the company then requested help from the Yuke pilots that refused to give up fighting-- in return, the Belkans would give the V1 Nuclear Missle, but keep the V2 Nuclear Missle for themselves. However, several Osean pilots came to Sudentor to prevent the Yukes and destroy the traitors of Osea (that is, the now pacified Osean forces.)

So the Razgriz Squadron was to destroy all Belkan forces inside the city with the help of allied fighters, and then escort the allied helicopters to the entrance of the SOLG facility. After the Demons finish off all forces, the helicopters land and secure the entrance to the facility, which was under construction to be a railroad spanning the Sudentor/Nord Belka border; the tunnel's control room is then captured by the allied operatives, who then proceed to open the tunnel's left gate. The Razgriz Squadron then flies into the tunnel, but suddenly, Allen Hamilton, in a last act of desperation, chases after them into the facility's depths. In addition to this, there is one more problem. The facility has two SOLG control cores that need to be destroyed, both opposite sided to each other, therefore someone has to fly from Nord Belka, from the end of the tunnel and end up back in Sudentor. But to find a pilot skilled enough to pull it off is almost impossible. To Razgriz's surprise, the pilot is their old instructor, Heartbreak One. The mission and battle ends with Jack Bartlett, assumed to be alive, Allen Hamilton is dead (as put by Grimm, "hit by a ricocheting plane"), and the SOLG facility is destroyed by both Bartlett and Blaze.

Operation: Arcadia
On December 31st, the SOLG, whose core control was destroyed a day earlier, descended to Oured and was detected by OADF radar systems at 0445 hours. They found out that if the controls were ever to be cut off from the ground, the SOLG would descend from outer space and will destroy Oured. The Ghosts of Razgriz then launched from an Oured highway (as a makeshift runway) to chase after the SOLG. In the way, the aggressor squadrons Grabacr & Ofnir (who helped to begin the war backstage) appear in a joint, 8-plane S-32 platoon formation. They were all shot down in the subsequent battle and were all KIA. Post-dogfight, Razgriz continued to the SOLG's estimated drop-from-the-atmosphere point, 80 miles from Oured; with the ETA of the crash into Oured is 5 minutes. After the descent, Razgriz engaged in one final battle, wiping out all of the SOLG's accelerators. After the SOLG was finally destroyed, it exploded in a colossal rain of fire, the fireworks waking up the entirety of Oured.

Result
The result of the battle was an allied Osean and Yuktobanian success. The Kestrel formed a fleet containing a strong and large formation of Yuktobanian Marine Navy ships and Osean naval forces ships, but was destroyed by Belka; it is assumed the crew gets another carrier (although it's afe to assume that Captain Anderson retired post-war.) The battle's ultimate success helped the ending of the Circum-Pacific War, a.nd all Osean and Yuktobanian men in the government who supported the war were fired on the spot (and presumably sent to federal custody.) Razgriz was dissolved (the pilots having disappeared) after this battle and the Grey Men destroyed; making Osea and Yuktobania at peace again.
