After the second wave of warships arrived at Pontesi's coasts to fight with the first wave one, Istalia has sent a few airplanes transporting troops and followed by some fighter jets to protect them in case they are spotted and shot. The planes take around 10.000 soldiers totally, however, they will not be deployed at the same time and locations: half of them are going to be deployed near the coast where the ships are fighting, but somewhat far from it to avoid being spotted as easily and measures taken against them. They are being deployed to the north while the other planes transporting the other half amount of soldiers, together with some ships from the second wave, created a distraction, making Pontesi think they are deploying somewhere else. Part of the first wave has been ordered to take a look at the soldiers that will be deployed, to ensure that the operation is successful and they are not spotted and attacked, and in case of happening so, trying to defend them and the location where they deploy.
The fighter jets following the plane that will be deploying will be tasked with bombing any bases and other buildings/locations that might make the operation more difficult, and once the soldiers are deployed, their task will be to aid the ships by attacking from air any enemy attacking the Istalian ships. Once the soldiers are deployed, the other transport planes will have to wait some more to analyse the situation: if the coast where the ships are fighting is won over by Istalia, these other 5.000 soldiers will deploy in the coast to occupy the territory while the soldiers in the remaining ships disembark in the nearest port. If, however, Istalia struggles to win the sea battle, they will have to either deploy where the others deployed or another safe location, or return to Istalia immediately. So far, Istalia has lost 3 ships totally, and it has been calculated that around 8.500 Istalian soldiers have died so far - although we cannot guess enemy losses. The battle seems to be very equal so far, but with a slight advantage towards Pontesi. Air superiority seems to be crucial for Istalia to win this battle and do any significant damage to Pontesi, especially if Pontesi has an underdeveloped anti-air system.
