The war might have made headlines, but the opening shots, as was Hutorian tradition weren't loud; until they were.
Early in the morning of March 3rd, 5637, aircraft took off from airfields Davostag's southern island, from across Etxea. These were joined by additional aircraft from the Royal Navy's Aircraft Carriers, which sent up flocks of fighters, fighter bombers and support aircraft.
As the air armada was gathered, all over the line, RHN vessels in the south and the north, joined by Allied warships, let loose with volleys of cruise missiles. This opening salvo targeted Radar, Early Detection, Air Traffic and Command and Control points across the country.
This massive barrage of missiles, intended to blind the Legion's eyes in the sky, was followed by the twin Air Forces that made their way forward.
In the south, spearheaded by the HF-35D Super Blizzards of the 1st and 5th Fighter Wings from Extea, and HF-35F Super Hailstorms from the Bill O'Reilly and Queen Sarah VI, the venerable Hutorian multi role stealth fighters, considered amongst the best in the world, pierced the holes in the Kundrati air screen, and began ruthlessly hunting any aircraft in the sky. At the same time, HF-19 Twister ECR and HF-13AS Griffin fighter bombers, targeted other vulnerable sites; now blind AA and SAM sites, Aircraft that hadn't reached the air, fuel depots and other that could possible deny the Coalition air forces total air supremacy.
This was repeated in the far north, by the elements of the 2nd and 3rd Fighter Wings, the strike aircraft of the Patrick Grant and Queen Victoria Carrier Battlegroups and the stealth bombers of the 6th Bomber Wings, from whom two Squadrons were marinading in the south as well.
This was Operation Lighthouse. This was the beginning of the war.
