Background:
Thirsk has been a secret military research island for the Russian military for the past three years. Uranium and plutonium [size=1em]research has been held here alongside with new armor and ballistic testing for the current Russian armory. One month ago, August 1, 2017, we lost contact with the director of the plutonium research, Peter Ivanovich. Many scientists, workers, and soldiers stationed in Thirsk had immediately started to go missing after that.[/size]

August 7, 2017, Russian intelligence decided to investigate further into the situation. Intelligence reported that there had been a boom in the population on Thirsk although all of the workers stationed there had been male. Many of these inhabitants were however wearing ski masks, armed with AKs, and drove around a couple offroads and vehicles. Ironically, we didn't station any offroads armed with a machinegun there nor did we spot any ships arriving in Thirsk with vehicles. There were no air traffic arriving in Thirsk either.
August 14, 2017, Russian intelligence spotted various pirates and smugglers arriving to Thirsks and trading with the new inhabitants there. Russian Spetsnaz raided one of the ship on route towards Thirsk to find that they are trading organs, chiemicals, weapons, uranium, plutonium, Agent Orange, and other harmful substances.
August 18, 2017, Russian had successfully created a blockade to prevent further trafficking activity from entering Thirsks.
August 21, 2017, four teams of Russian recon units were sent into the southern and eastern part of Thirsks while Russian intelligence are going over intel with whatever data they have on the northern region of Thirsks from the raids against the trafficking activities.
August 22, 2017, Russian intelligence lost signal with the four Russian recon units. They had orders to return home if their mission was compromised or communication has been loss.
August 31, 2017, there has been no words about the four Russian recon units. A few guerilla soldiers and smuggler were detected on Mustikkasaari. Moscow sent Spetsnaz to eliminate them and secure Mustikkasaari by night to get closer to what is going on in Thirsk. The raid was successful and a small base shall be established in Mustikkasaari.
The Russian Federation wishes to end this crisis in Thirsk as soon as possible without involving any outsiders, especially NATO, in fear of leaking secret intel about the research in Thirsk. Currently, no outsiders have any info about the situation in Thirsk.
The operation to recapture Thirsk and resolve the situation in Thirsk is designated to Commander Vasily Kremkov. The first part of the operation will be to start from the north of Thirsk and expand southward. Viktor Squad, lead by Lieutenant Vladimir Kirov, one of the mechanized infantry designated for the mission will be next to continue the attack on Thirsk. Kremkov hopes to seize the Thirsk airbase within two to three days to ensure security for reinforcements by helicopter.
Note: Exact same background can be found in first mission. Each mission has the same background with added information to the end as mission progress.
