Motopekhota, 2029

Setting: The date is October 26th, 2029. The world over the last few years has grown more and more tense, with hostilities kept on hair triggers. Escalating the situation, Russian forces have crossed through Belarus and begun to perform extensive training exercises at the Lithuanian border, a clear sign of elevated aggression. Mirroring this, the United States responds by activating a training facility only 20 miles from the Russians just across the border, trying to get Lithuanian forces up to speed. In a demonstration accident, an F16 fighter jet shoots down a Russian Korsar scouting drone after mistaking it for a training target. This breaks the tensions, as the Russians immediately begin an offensive into Lithuania and the rest of the Baltics. Due to the rather sharp turn in action, the United States and the Baltic militaries are forced to momentarily pull back to regroup and refocus their effort, ceding ground to the Russian offensive. After a momentarily unrestricted advance, the Russians have quickly been pushed back closer and closer to the border. previous intelligence suggesting a low amount of combat efficacy from the Russian military, it seems their army has inexplicably gained an immense amount of well-trained armored and infantry units, leading many to wonder how they managed to get that many well trained soldiers in such a small timeframe. Their assault continues closer to areas with access to open seas, as their naval landings have proved to be just enough to keep the assault going, attacking areas close to the water. Efforts near critical military areas have not been exhausted though, as Russian forces have begun to push into the Suwalki Gap in Poland, as well as pressing into an airbase near the border, not to mention their occupation of much of the Ignalina NPP's region. American forces are no longer limitedas they were before, utilizing USSOCOM assets, like Delta Force, the U.S Rangers, Pararescuemen, etcetera; the United States Marine Corps, a number of U.S Army Airborne assets and the U.S Army's tankery and Stryker cavalry groups. Currently, the U.S is launching a sharp counter offensive into Russian controlled territory using the newly arrived armored teams.

On the 14th of October, a U.S offensive on the Kaliningrad Oblast commenced. U.S Armored Brigades took the city of Kaliningrad, while at the same time, U.S Airborne assets captured the Chkalovsk military. The day after, on the 15th, the U.S Marines assaulted the Baltiysk Peninsula, blocking the existing Russian navy within the Kaliningrad Oblast from deploying. On the next day, with combined assistance from the entire U.S warmachine, the entire Kaliningrad Oblast was captured. On the same day, U.S Armored Brigades transferring from Poland to Lithuania arrived, reinforcing the main frontline.

On the 19th, a massive Russian offensive made up of heavy armor, artillery, and air-power, was commenced in an attempt to cross the Nemunas river via the city of Kaunas. As per an American ambassador's orders, a nuke was detonated in the Kaunas Hydroelectric Powerplant by a team of Delta Force operators, drowning tens of thousands in Russian assets. The news swept around the world, with tactical nuclear strike bombers now being scrambled... Though, a gentleman's agreement has been struck between Russian and American parties only to drop nuclear weapons on enemy combatants, no going into enemy homeland.

Sofia was part of the initial assault of the Estonian port of Muuga, via naval craft. Over the course of the last two weeks, progress was going well for the Russian advance until U.S armour began to show up and shut down any advances. Sofia first hand saw how terrifying a combined assault of armour and U.S Special Forces was, having once occupied Point G, which is 3 kilometers from Point B where she's stationed now.

Each Motopekhota team is made of 8 infantrymen, carrying 6 AK-74M rifles with 2 GP-34 underbarrel grenade launchers, 1 PKP general purpose machinegun, an SVD designated marksman rifle, and an RPG-7V anti-tank rocket launcher. They're given steel armor plates for their 6B23 armor vests, giving them decent enough protection for a 2nd rate infantry unit.

Russia currently occupies Points E and B, whilst the U.S occupies the rest of Muuga. The frontline here has ground to a halt, and is actively being pushed back towards Russia. Muuga and its surroundings are heavily snowed as of the current date, dusting the significant tree cover present in the area.

Point G is located along the Vana-Narva highway 22, being a cluster of industrial businesses and large buildings. The area is rather tight for vehicles though, making it a more infantry dominated area.

Point B is located 3 kilometers east of Point G, being located at a populated industrial center holding metalworking, timberworking, and oil processing companies along with an equipment rental company a little bit to the south, clustering around Vana-Narva highway 31. The buildings have long and open sightlines, making this another infantry dominated area.

Point E is 2 kilometers north of Point B, and is where a large residential district is, another infantry dominated area.

Sofia currently is wandering around the building her team has been told to shelter in place in, anxious to get moving due to her newly acquired fear of American tanks.
