Operation Magic Spear was an operation aiming to eliminate Erusea's IRBM warheads aimed at Osean forces.[1]
Prelude
The loss of Njord Fleet during Operation Siren's Song and the Arsenal Bird Liberty in Operation Dragon Breath left Erusea vulnerable. With the Justice limited to defending the Gunther Bay, northern Usea was now open to Osean advances. Facing limited options, Erusea decided to activate its IRBM silos at Sierraplata. Their hope was that the use of nuclear weapons could halt the Osean advance, similar to what the Belkans had done during Operation Ravage. The Osean Long Range Strategic Strike Group deployed Strider Squadron to escort the bombers.
Battle
The cloudy weather that protected Osean bombers from Erusean fighters also left them unable to target the IRBM silos. To counter this, their escorts were equipped with laser targetting pods to designate the silos. However, the Eruseans also installed dummy silos in an effort to throw off Osean attacks. When Strider Squadron managed to destroy both actual and dummy silos, Erusean missile crews managed to launch two missiles hidden underwater at the Sierraplata Dam. However, Trigger from Strider Squadron was able to intercept and shoot down both missiles.
Aftermath
With the loss of its nuclear forces, all of northern Erusea was now under threat from Osean advances. With Erusean dominance limited to the Gunther area, Osean forces began planning for taking the Erusean capital, Farbanti.
