In the scorching heartlands of southern Somalia, amid a maze of dust-choked villages and warlord-controlled roads, a Russian armored convoy—tasked with a covert arms transport—met a brutal end. Ambushed by a coalition of Somali insurgents and rogue mercenaries, the convoy’s lead T-90A tank was disabled in a narrow canyon, blocking the entire column and leaving the crew stranded. Communication was severed, and all attempts to recover the convoy through diplomatic or remote means failed.

As international eyes turned elsewhere, the Kremlin authorized a silent extraction under black ops protocols—Operation Swanson. Named after an old Russian legend of a warrior who vanished behind enemy lines and returned with the enemy general’s head, the mission was brutal and simple: rescue the crew, secure the intelligence, and leave no Russian hardware behind.

Three elite Spetsnaz operatives, all combat veterans with deep experience in asymmetric warfare, were deployed via HALO jump under the cover of darkness. Each was chosen not just for their skill, but for their ability to vanish into chaos and return with victory in hand.

The mission would test their limits, as they battled a labyrinth of enemies, traitors, and a ticking clock deep in hostile territory.

Welcome to Operation Swanson—no backup, no retreat, no failure.
