Rookie Mini-Mission: Black Market

Intelligence has picked up the time and place of an illegal arms market to be hosted by unscrupulous villain Rado Kuka. The market will take place in Caucasus mountains on the Abkhazian-Russian border. Requests to both Russia and Abkhazia to intervene with the illegal market have been met with nothing but silence. As a result Strike Package Zeus is in the planning to once and for all end Mr Kuka’s shady business.
