Return on Labor Day weekend to this exceptional MOUT facility for Operation HammerStrike! The HammerFall saga concludes as NATO and Russian forces lock in a deadly struggle over the Chechen Security Zone!
Photographs of the facility may be seen at
The 57th Guards Army slammed against the security zone established along the Chechen-Georgian border by elements of the 101st Airborne and NATO troops. Amidst fierce urban fighting and a deep air intervention against the oncoming 13th Tank Army, NATO forces have held their tenuous foothold on Russian soil. Additional NATO reinforcements have arrived while Russian forces mass for a renewed assault. Now the final victor will be determined as NATO makes a stand for stability in the region while Russia fights to assert its territorial sovereignty.
