In particular, we are concerned about the new and unusually small gas storage tanks and cracking plantNo. According to rumors, these are components of the Новичок (Novichok) project. According to it, gaseous poisons can be extracted from crude oil, fertilizers, and in further consequence from them. Certain mixtures are highly toxic as a nerve gas. We have reason to believe that the Tuapse oil refinery has been producing not only diesel and gasoline for some time.

The tanker fleet that leaves the port every two to four weeks runs under red flag and some ships are not tankers at all, but bulk and general cargo freighters, parts of the fleet have also been sighted in ports of North Korea or in the immediate vicinity.

Since it was not possible for international inspectors to visit the facility on a regular basis in the last three years, we assume that our suspicions are correct and will act now.

We have the order from the very top to put an end to the hustle and bustle. Plan the details with your operations team, we expect results.

Operation Lead In

Our sources provide evidence of an unofficial convoy of ships with military security that left Turkish waters this morning and is heading north.

We suspect that this is an illegal export of Western-style military equipment. In the border area between Turkey and Syria. Patriot missile systems have "disappeared" which were allegedly withdrawn from the positions three weeks ago for maintenance purposes. This official explanation is not comprehensible, but also cannot be refuted. Turkish government officials have been preventing government officials from Germany and other NATO personnel from entering Turkish barracks for months. Strange rail transports across Turkey on barely used rail lines have been going on since then and the convoy is the logical link. We are almost 100% certain that the patriot systems are hidden on the ships. Since there is no official authorization for the search and we must prevent in any case that important components or even whole systems fall into the hands of the Red Coalition, we are forced to take drastic steps.

Fly out of it, clear up what is on board, no matter how you do it, but we need certainty. If you meet with any opposition, or if there is even the slightest doubt, we will sink everything before any of it can be brought ashore anywhere in the north. This is not official of course, we declare it an exercise and no one will see anything. No press, no fuss, no medals. And we've never talked about it. Now assemble your team so that the exercise "Lead In" can begin.
