First video from the new Leningrad Campaign developed by IRRE squadron!
10 August 1941: Since the launch of Operation Barbarossa, German troops have advanced at breakneck speed. While the Army Group South has reached Kiev (Ukraine), Army Group Center has reached Smolensk less than 400km from Moscow, the Army Group North with the Finnish troops are less than 100km from the birthplace of revolution - Leningrad. The city is to be held at any cost. Soviet Air Force desperately tries to hold the onslaught of Luftwaffe...
------------------------
After Action Report: 3x Mig -3. We launched from different a/f and needed to RV over Gorka. While proceeding south we spotted a formation of 2 + 4 enemy fighters and immediately went on to attack the Hitlerites. During combat we managed to damage at least 3 fascist planes which turned out to be newer modification of Messers without tail struts. Unfortunately we lost one brave comrade to enemy bullets, his Mig-3 crashed east of Louga. Our para exited north to gain altitude and re-asses SA, while Luftwaffe planes run south with their tails between their legs, several damaged 109s trailing fuel and liquids. We returned to patrol along the front line and spotted a group of 4 Goering's dogs west of Novgorod. Enemy was below us and apparently unaware of our presence. Their ignorance allowed us to executed a perfect bounce. One 109s dropped below the cloud trailing fluids heavily after my attack. We engaged with remaining Messers in a downward running fight, luckily one friendly Yak arrived and supported us with a daring attack on one plane. We together managed to damaged two Fritzs, while my wingman got a six and was damaged himself. I joined to support him and we were able to turn the tables of the fascist invader, the crosses on his wings now mark his grave where his Messer crashed after being cut through by the 12,7mm bullets of Stalin's falcons. My wingman nursed his damaged plane north while I provided escort. Running out of fuel due to bullet holes in his wings he still managed a perfect deadstick landing at Lyuban returning a valuable piece of communal property to the our beloved Soviet motherland. I landed shortly after that to provide immediate report to our political officer. We all acknowledge that the excellent guidance provided by the great communist party and our dear leader secured this overall successful first sortie.
