Situation

Following a series of precision U.S. operations aimed at disrupting North Takistan’s weapons production and logistics networks, the regime has retaliated with a wave of coordinated strikes across Anizay. Utilizing aircraft, armed drones, and long-range missile systems, North Takistan has targeted military installations and civilian infrastructure alike, escalating the conflict to a new phase. The attacks have caused significant damage and underscored the threat posed by Takistan’s intact offensive capabilities.
In response, U.S. forces have been authorized to launch a decisive operation to neutralize one of North Takistan’s central airbases. These airbases are critical nodes in the enemy’s ability to project power and sustain insurgent elements beyond their borders. Seizing control of such a facility will not only cripple Takistan’s capacity to conduct further air operations but will also sever their rapid deployment and logistical support chains.
