"summary_string"=Dobry vecher (Good evening), comrades. Our mission for tonight is a raid on a fascist supply, fuel and ammunition complex SW of Belgorod and about 3 1/2 miles east of Ugrim airfield. Krasny, you will take off at 0200 hours and together with Bely and Siny, fly 57 miles south on a 178 degree heading to RP-KEDR. From KEDR, come left to 144 degrees and proceed at 240 kts and at 5,000 feet, 15 miles to your target - A vehicular park and fuel dump - at RP-VISHNYA. Saturate the area with bombs and continue SW for 5 miles, turning right to RP-TOPOL', where you will all regroup and make your second run on targets. Yours, Krasny is the ammo dump at RP-SOSNA. Attack with any remaining bombs and gunfire any targets remaining after Bely's initial strike. Continue NE to RP-DUB, reassemble there and return to base on a heading of 340 degrees. Good luck, comrades!
"objective_string"=After the withdrawal of so many Luftwaffe units to the west, air superiority was now in Soviet hands. At the beginning of August, the Axis forces amounted to only 350 aircraft in service, including those from the 2nd Hungarian Air Brigade. In total, the Soviets fielded 1,435 aircraft. In the early morning hours of August 3rd, the Axis defenders were attacked by night bombers of the 6th Air Corps as well as by bombers from the 208th NBAD of the 2nd Air Army. The 'Polkovodets Rumyantsev' aviation and artillery preparation started 2 hours before the main attack , and about 6,000 guns and 500 aircraft participated. This mission is launched in keeping with one of the air objectives of the High Command, i.e. 'Interdict and disrupt the movement of enemy supplies and reserves within and into the battle area.'
"intelligence_string"=Tonight's weather is excellent - calm winds, light clouds above 10,000 feet, nominal visibility. Your target is well protected by PVO (AAA) and random night-fighter patrols. We are sending a flight of our only available night-fighters to cover you. A flight of pathfinders from ADD (Long Range Aviation) will drop flares one minute ahead of you to mark the target. The Nazi installations you will be attacking are a major forward supply depot for the units our forces will be assaulting in the morning. Hit them hard and come home safe!
