Operation "Last ditch" (Mig-29 campaign)
 On Crimea peninsula, Crimean separatists came to power. They have proclaimed an independent Crimea republic. In fact, the peninsula has become a self-proclaimed isolated state in which a civil war has been unleashed. The separatists, now armed with Soviet-era weapons, has requested NATO intervention to help deal with the conflict. NATO forces now occupy Crimean Air Force and Naval Force bases formerly belonging to the Ukraine and Russia.
The alliance has rapidly expanded its military might in the region and has started negotiations with the position of strength about the Russian Federation presence in the Caucasus. The real intention was to conduct a strict policy line with Russia to decrease its influence in the Black-sea region and to prohibit military force deployments over the set limit in Krasnodar region.
The Alliance does not appear to be planning a ground force intervention; however, combat aviation may be used to strike tactical blows on military and civilian facilities within Russia.
Due to the inevitability of military conflict, RF Air Force commander has decided to increase air force assets within the framework of a general increase of military forces in the region, including strategic aviation based at Krasnodar air bases.
The player is introduced into military actions from the very first mission of the campaign. An ordinary patrol flight to the territory of Kerch strait turns into a fight between MiG-29 fighters with a couple of F-16s. The enemy, who initiated the incident, continues the confrontation by arranging a strike group to eliminate Russian air defense systems and inflicts blows on Russian facilities around the Taman peninsula. Russian air force actions will be defensive while NATO troops in the Crimea exhaust their resources. At the same time, in the area of Russian-Georgian border, Turkish forces begin to present a considerable danger. They use Georgia's air space to inflict blows on the targets within Russia. MiG-29 pilots operate from Sochi-Adler air base and perform tasks such as intercepting enemy aircraft. Turkey proclaims the Crimea an area of national interests. Therefore it turned out to be an only country to refuse peace negotiations. Up to the last day of the conflict when Russian troops have already occupied Kerch peninsula and Kirovskoe air base, Turkey continues military actions against Russia.
