Thanks in part to a raid on the Soviet Army's forward headquarters in Poland and the use of American stealth aircraft, Bloody Nose is a success: the initial strikes cripple Warsaw Pact command and control posts, throwing their armies in the field into chaos. During the accompanying aerial battles, NATO also inflicts devastating losses on the Soviet Air Force (which had already lost 20% of the aircraft supporting the initial offensives), thereby gaining supremacy over Eastern European airspace.
The success of Bloody Nose can be attributed, in part, to a surprise attack on the Soviet Army's forward headquarters in Poland and the deployment of American stealth planes. As a result, Warsaw Pact command and control facilities were severely damaged, causing chaos among their ground troops. Meanwhile, NATO's air forces also inflicted heavy casualties on the Soviet Air Force during the accompanying aerial battles, ultimately securing air superiority over Eastern Europe.
