 In Kenya, General Lazar's force attacks Mrima Hill and start gradually obliterating the Marine defenses using accurate artillery strikes and frontal assaults with their BTRs while ZSU-23-4 Shilka tanks defend against Marine airstrikes.As the Marines are pressed to their breaking point, however, the USS "John Warner" slips through a Russian-Iranian blockade off the Kenyan coast and fires Tomahawk cruise missiles that destroy most of the Russian artillery batteries.Lazar goes missing in action as his BTR is destroyed and is presumed dead by Colonel Borbikov, who assumes command and orders a VDV regiment of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division to launch a final attack.
