In winter 2017 Altis held presidential elections. The standing president Georgious Akhanteros is believed to have caused a widespread election fraud. After huge riots engulfed the island of Altis, Russia sent their best special forces to help Akhanteros in keeping things under control but they failed. Altis has descended in chaos and civil war followed.

I may not be able to attend tomorrow, but I would suggest hitting Gravia, and using is as a base to deny the enemy the ability to take off and land easily at the airfield. If there are the numbers I would definitely suggests 2 platoons, dagger, and then some CAS. If, by a miracle and we have enough people, or we lose our airpower, we should then bring the SPAAG to chew up enemy air, and later, everything else.
From Gravia we should move into the airfield itself, before sweeping along the coast to take out the factory and isolate the final town. This is a Tuesday mission, so I honestly only expect time for the first two objectives, but just in case.

I would vote for the same approach as Goat suggested. Hit Gravia with small arms and then bring in the big guns to hit the airfield hard. Soften it up with arti and keep air and ground superiority. There is not a lot of cover so moving quick is off the essence. Getting cover behind the main building and occupying might be our best bet.

It’s raining, jets will not be able to operate.

Do we have images from these locations or intel on where exactly they are?
I can imagine our satellites can take images from big buildings right.

We have gained that knowledge the hard way, few of our planes have been shot down in that area. It seems that they are using some kind of advanced AA systems, very likely provided by NATO.
