The Battle of Amokolia commenced on 20.XIV.1695 AN, concurrent with the fateful Scouring which saw a limited nuclear exchange destroy seven major cities in Eastern Elwynn, was a strategic offensive launched by Benacia Command aiming to break the deadlock of the Southern Amokolian Front and cut lines of communications between the Free Elwynnese Republic and its Kalgachi allies as well as neutral Batavia.


Air battle

At 7pm on 20.XIV.1695 twenty-five B-67 Shahrukh strategic bombers of the 305 Pathfinder (Electronic Warfare) Regiment, supported by seventy-two F-8 Shrike multi-role strike aircraft of the Central Banner Air Force crossed into Amokolian airspace, escorted by one hundred and forty-four F-9 Ashavan II of the Northern Banner Air Force, and commenced the suppression of enemy air defences, targeting dispersal airfields, ground based radar systems, and surface to air batteries.

Against this overpowering aerial armada the SDF could only scramble four F-9 Ashavan II and a single for the defence of the skies over the Southern Amokolian Front. These were joined by sixteen T-2/A-2 Saeqeh and two T-3 Akóntio which joined the battle with no intention beyond distracting the enemy fighter escorts from targeting the more capable interceptors. By this time the news of the events which had transpired out east had rippled throughout the territories of the Free Elwynnese. A recognition had sunk in that the end was at hand.
