1st Battalion Elements (Composition not specified in report)
Reinforcing Rifle Squad 1 (Affiliation not specified in report)
MI-24 Attack Helicopter

Enemy Forces:

Separatist Forces (Composition and Affiliation unknown)

Technicals (Quantity destroyed - 5)
Summary:

1st Battalion received warning order of potential separatist attack on Orlovets. Utilizing intel from electronic sources and local agents, the battalion conducted a forced march to the village. The initial plan involved deploying in a straight line formation with 3rd Squad in the west and Command Squad in the east.

Enemy Activity:

During approach, separatists employed artillery barrages south of Orlovets, likely attempting to disrupt friendly advance. Artillery fire ceased as the task force neared the village.
Upon arrival, a coordinated attack by Spanish-speaking militia and Wagner Group operators commenced from the northwest. The militia force was repelled by combined rifle fire and attack helicopter support. Wagner operators engaged Command Squad with heavy sniper fire but were eventually driven back.
A separate attack by Russian militia, also originating from the northwest, targeted 3rd and 2nd Squads. This assault was particularly forceful, but friendly forces held the line despite sustaining casualties.
Friendly Losses:

2nd Squad - 1 KIA
3rd Squad - 2 KIA
4th Squad - 3 KIA
Reinforcing Rifle Squad 1 - 3 KIA
Command Squad - 5 KIA
1x BRDM Scout Car (Destroyed)
1x SU-25 Ground Attack Aircraft (Shot Down, Pilot Recovered)
Enemy Losses:

Estimated 5 technicals destroyed.
Observations:

The successful defense of Orlovets is attributed to a combination of factors, including:
Timely intelligence from electronic sources and local agents.
Effective use of combined arms tactics, integrating rifle fire with air support from the MI-24 and SU-25 (despite the loss of the latter).
Tenacity of individual soldiers who held the line against a determined enemy attack.
Battalion staff acknowledges the potential influence of a prior operation by the Chernarus 19th Separate Mechanized Cavalry Regiment in disrupting separatist activity within south Chernarus.
Recommendations:

Conduct a thorough After Action Review (AAR) at the company and battalion level to identify specific strengths and weaknesses in unit performance during the defense.
Analyze captured enemy equipment and intelligence to gain further insights into separatist capabilities and intentions.
Reevaluate defensive plans for Orlovets, incorporating lessons learned from this engagement.
Investigate the cause of the SU-25 shootdown and implement corrective measures to minimize future losses.
