It was revealed that the Grey Men had a plot to use the [[V2]] [[MIRV]] missile, which, after launching and separating into multiple warheads, could obliterate half of all the major cities in either Osea or Yuktobania. It was deployed to the [[Strategic Orbital Linear Gun]] (SOLG), an orbital weapons platform developed during the [[Belkan War]] that was sent into orbit.

With this information in hand, Osean President [[Vincent Harling]] and Yuktobanian Prime Minister [[Seryozha Viktorovich Nikanor]] performed a joint speech calling for peace between Osea and Yuktobania. They requested that both their armies help the leaders' allies, the [[Razgriz Air Command Squadron]], with the squadron's attack on a [[Grunder Industries]] facility in [[Sudentor]] where the controls for the SOLG were held inside a large tunnel.

The Razgriz Squadron was receiving its mission briefing on board the [[OFS Kestrel]] when the OFS Kestrel was struck by a submarine-launched missile. The pilots were sent to perform emergency take-offs while the OFS Kestrel attempted to stay afloat and destroy more oncoming missiles. A second missile hit before take-offs began, but the Razgriz Squadron successfully took off just before the carrier sank. An allied ship successfully destroyed the submarine. All of the crew was safe on lifeboats, most rescued by the [[Andromeda]] and others by other ships of the [[Kestrel Fleet]], and Razgriz headed for Sudentor.

==Battle==
 
By the time the Razgriz Squadron made it to Sudentor, most of the Osean-Yuktobanian coalition forces were already in the area. Multiple units from both countries joined Razgriz, including [[AWACS Oka Nieba|Oka Nieba]], a Yuktobanian [[AWACS]]. In response, Grunder Industries requested assistance from the countries' forces as well, more specifically the warmongers, and offered them a [[V1|V1 tactical nuclear weapon]] in exchange. AA artillery and defensive pillboxes belonging to Osean Federation opened fire on the coalition forces, while the coalition's tanks and helicopters attempted to enter the area. With close air support from Razgriz, the pillbox line and AA artillery were destroyed. Partly through the battle, air units from the warmongers, including [[Allen C. Hamilton]], all began to engage the Razgriz Squadron at once. The coalition air units moved to defend them while the ground forces and helicopter units began to open the facility's tunnel.

Minutes before the siege began, the Osean government ordered a general evacuation of civilians from the city to emergency shelters, who were given advice by local newscasters to inform the invaders of their allegiance.<ref name="AC5">''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]''</ref>
The tunnel was eventually opened, and the entire Razgriz Squadron flew in through one side (with Hamilton in hot pursuit) while [[Jack Bartlett]] came in through the other side; they needed to destroy both of the system cores, and once they did so, had to escape the tunnel fast as the shutters began to close. More air units allied with the Grey Men came in from the other side, but all of them were eventually trapped or shot down inside as the Razgriz Squadron and Bartlett escaped.

The Razgriz Squadron arrived minutes after the start of the invasion, who allied themselves with the 703rd Squadron of Yuktobania after a brief encounter.

Several aircraft joined the increasing force, including Yuktobanian [[Airborne Warning and Control System]] operator [[AWACS Oka Nieba]], who assisted Razgriz by relaying messages of [[Wolfgang Buchner]] from the ''Andromeda''.<ref name="AC5">''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]''</ref>
==Result==
 
The battle was a major success for the two countries, as the enemy units were mostly crushed and peace had finally been restored once more. The only major loss was of the aircraft carrier [[Kestrel]], which was one of OMDF remaining carriers, but none of the crew was lost.

The destruction of the control facility in the tunnel, however, did not completely remove the threat of the SOLG.

[[Operation: Arcadia]] was quickly formed to deal with the threat.

The battle of Sudentor was one of the final battles of the Circum-Pacific War. It was fought between a coalition of Osean-Yuktobanian forces and the Belkan Gray Men (who also had some Osean and Yuktobanian warmongers on their side).

Prelude

Razgriz operations

In the final weeks of 2010, the Razgriz Air Command Squadron partook in a series of clandestine operations against the Gray Men in Belka and Yuktobania, freeing Osean president Vincent Harling and Union Prime Minister Seryozha Viktorovich Nikanor, transporting them to the aircraft carrier OFS Kestrel. In December 29, the ship was sunk in December 29 after a battle between Yuktobanian and Osean vessels that birthed a new battle group from ships of both nations.[1]

Following Nikanor's liberation from the Shtil prison, Yuktobanian resistance member Nastasya Obertas provided the Kestrel's crew with a disc with encrypted information of the V2 missile, which the Gray Men intended to load into the Strategic Orbital Linear Gun satellite, secretly completed after its cancellation in the Belkan War, to use as leverage in their goal of reuniting the Belkan Federation.[1]

Transmissions from the Belkan operative Schenze were traced by the communications ship Andromeda to an underground facility built by Gründer Industries in the North Osean city of Sudentor, developed with the true purpose of facilitating the Belkan reunification, that housed a computer network designed to remotely control the SOLG from the Earth. Razgriz took off from the ship before it sank and flew to Sudentor to attack the tunnel.[1]

The Oured conference

"This is President Harling of the Osean Federation. Attention, all Osean and Yuktobanian officers and soldiers currently on the battlefield. Let us put down our guns and come out of the trenches. The Osean capital of Oured has been freed of the people who took advantage of my absence to usurp control of the country. Once robbed of my freedom and of my ability to do the right thing, I now stand again under the light of the golden sun, and I do so with the honorable Yuktobanian Prime Minister Nikanor by my side. We have resolved our terrible and unfortunate misunderstandings, and the war is now over."

Razgriz leading Osean and Yuktobanian aircraft towards Sudentor

The conference led a large number of troops from both countries to travel en masse to east Osea to stage a siege on Sudentor. Forces of the Osean Air Defense Force and ground army formed a large part of the newly formed coalition, in conjunction with divisions of the Yuktobanian Air Force. Anticipating the attack, Gründer Industries offered the last of the three V1 nuclear weapons stolen from Mount Schirm to hardliners of the two countries, led by Sand Island officer Allen Hamilton.[1]

By midnight, the coalition forces entered the city from the south and west. Minutes before the siege began, the Osean government ordered a general evacuation of civilians from the city to emergency shelters, who were given advice by local newscasters to inform the invaders of their allegiance.[1]

The Razgriz Squadron arrived minutes after the start of the invasion, who allied themselves with the 703rd Squadron of Yuktobania after a brief encounter. Their force grew into a squadron of over a dozen pilots from both countries, who sung the song "The Journey Home" in a sign of unity. Several aircraft joined the increasing force, including Yuktobanian Airborne Warning and Control System operator AWACS Oka Nieba, who assisted Razgriz by relaying messages of Wolfgang Buchner from the Andromeda.[1]
