Operation Wasp is the continuation of operation Odin where Russia get dragged into a war against Turkey

## Story

### **Peace time and acts of aggression**

Following operation Odin 3 weeks before, Russian paratroopers reported unknown special forces units fighting along side the Islamic Army of Altis (IAA). Due to them operating under a false flag, there were not certain evidence to point out which nation that was aiding the insurgents.

During the investigation of the unknown special forces, Altian and Russian relations grew and later signed an agreement to have Russian forces stationed on the islands newly constructed Russian airbase.

As the investigation continued, relations between Altis and Turkey soured after what the Islamic world called “a religious genocide” that Russian and Altian forces were committing on the local Muslim populace.

### Turkish involvement

Declassified documents of ANG Special Forces snatch-and-grab operations revealed several prisoners of high importance in IAA’s high command. One of these operations proved to be more revealing than the others.

During a snatch-and-grab in north-eastern Altis, ANG Special forces managed to capture IAA’s main arms dealer and financial backer. Upon successful extraction and interrogation, the prisoner revealed to Altian Ministry of Home Affairs (AMHA) agents that he was a officer of the Milli İstihbarat Teşkilatı - Turkish National Intelligence Service (MİT).

The intel gathered revealed that the MİT had been funding the IAA with money, equipment and decrypted ANG communications captured by the Turkish Navy. With the help from Turkish submarines and covert pilots, large amount of ammunition and weapons could be delivered covertly to the Altian mainland for the IAA.

    It was also revealed that in the closing days of a organized IAA, Turkish submarines carrying commandos was sent to Altis to evacuate and retrieve important members of the IAA and therefore erasing evidence of Turkish intervention.

Following the defeat of the IAA and stabilization of Altis, Russian and Altian representatives called the Turkish ambassador of Altis in secret on the 27th of July to discuss the uncovered Turkish funding of terrorists on Altian homeland.

### Turkish Expansion

The negotiations held on the 27th deemed to be in vain however. The very next day on the 28th of July 2019, Turkey launched major offensives against nations located in and around the eastern Mediterranean sea, striking strategic locations against Greek, Syrian and Altian military installations.

The reason for the rapid expansion is to increase Turkey's influence of the eastern Mediterranean and middle east.

Though being a member of NATO, NATO announced during a press meeting following the attacks that NATO does not support Turkeys actions and announced that attacks on on the Turkish military and homeland will not trigger article 5 in the North Atlantic Treaty, therefore starting the Turko-Russian war

## Military Forces

### Friendly Forces

* **Armed Forces of the Russian Federation:** The main Russian fighting force stationed on Altis. Operating from AAC Airbase, they are the primary rapid response forces on the island whenever a more difficult task needs to be dealt with even though they are off small numbers. They are easily identified with their woodland and arid EMR camouflage equipment and Kalashnikov small-arms.

* **Altis National Guard:** The Altis National Guard (ANG) is a fairly small and equipped military force operated by the Altis government. Although mainly used for guarding governmental buildings and peacekeeping in war-torn areas, the soldiers in the ANG are filled with veterans from the previous civil war. Their unique Digital Green camouflage and -Insert SCAR weapons names- makes them easily identifiable in contrast of the AFRF EMR camouflage.

### Enemy Forces

* **Turkish Armed Forces:** The Turkish Land Forces are the military forces of Republic of Turkey. They are well trained and determined soldiers whom many have seen combat in the Syrian civil war. These Units where the main fighting force during the invasion of Altis on the 26th of July 2019. Equipped with their cold war era small-arms like the G3A3 combat rifle and their semi-arid wave style camouflage they are considered a capable force in the eyes of the Russian high command.

* **Special Forces Command (OKK):** Special Forces Command, formally in turkish known as the *"Özel Kuvvetler Komutanlığı"*, are the Turkish Land Forces special operations group that conducts high risk operations. Although having their reputation tarnished after the failed coup d'état of the Turkish government in 2016, they are still regarded as highly specialized and dangerous. As many special operations groups around the world has done in the last 10 years, the OKK has started issuing Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) camouflage equipment and AR-15 style weaponry for their operatives.

* **Turkish Militia:** As experienced troops are still needed near the borders of Greece and Syria, a draft was issued shortly after the failed invasion of Altis that men between 18 to 50 to report to their nearest recruitment office to undergo basic training. These militia units are not meant to be used as a main battle force, but as rear guard units and take the brunt of an enemy attack and hold until the experienced Turkish soldiers arrives. Equipped with leftover rifles and weapons that are no longer used by the Turkish military and in some cases privately owned weapons were issued, these units are not considered to be a major threat to the AFRF and Altis military.
