I predict a large armoured thrust will be made by the axis forces along the road to Ura Guba
I believe they will cross bridge 17 in sector AT8 and proceed south-east along the road
through sector AU7 and on towards bridge 16 in sector AV7

In this small section of road I believe will see intense fighting, we have forces dug in covering
the road in sector AU7 and I predict the enemy tanks will take just over an hour to arrive
we will strike them early with a primary wave of IL2 and then approx 45mins into the mission
our main force will make its attack.


We have a key advantage to give us an early start and an opportunity for a quick strike
the nearest enemy airfield is Luostari but it is being overrun by T34 tanks so I expect they will not fly from this field
This means they will come from Salmijarvi and Kirkennes and Svartnes
I think this gives our Pummanki based IL2 Type 3 and Yak9T
an opportuny to takeoff quickly and make an attack against the enemy tanks.


I propose the following planes for the IAF

4xYak9T - from Pummanki armed with integral hub 37mm cannon for tank busting

4xIL2 Type 3 - from Pummanki armed with 96xPTAB + 4xBRS132 for tank busting

2xYak9 - from Pummanki as pure fighters for TARCAP Cover

4x Spitfire Mk.IXc from Vayenga + Murmashi to arrive over sector AT8 as soon as possible



Other Squads that will fly with you

From Pummanki we will send a further 6 Yak 9 and from Ura Guba 4xP39 all to act as escort for the early attack
The plan will be for your IL2 to find the tanks and immediately attack with PTAB making just one pass
Then all aircraft in the area will retreat to the east and hide by Kildin

The plan will be to get all of our aircraft together at Kildin
Once all assembled we will go together back to the road and commence our second attack on the enemy tanks
But this time your IL2 use rocket and cannon and the Yaks get started with the cannon
This plan gives you the 14 aircraft but also easy access to more aircraft from the same airfield
