The numerous distractions near Sevastopol' have diverted Ukrainian attention long enough to allow Russian ground forces, under the guise of "Crimean rebels," to quietly deploy across the Kerch Strait with minimal interference. The aggressive posture shown by the Ukrainian Air Force has underscored the significance of this move as the intransigence shown by both countries leads to a local shooting war.

YOUR TASK
The defenders of Sevastopol' are in urgent need of resupply. Three Il-76 transports are enroute from Krasnodar to deliver weapons and provisions, and crews for some of the Navy ships stranded at Russian-occupied piers.

Open a clear route to ensure the safe arrival of the transports to Khersones.
