Operation Broken Chain Tour Leg 2

Leg 2 — EFKK → EFOU Kokkola → Oulu

Airport Description: Oulu sits near the northern edge of the Baltic coastline and serves as one of Finland’s most important technological and military-support hubs. Winter conditions here are severe, with frequent snow squalls and rapidly changing visibility.

The farther north you fly, the quieter the radios become. Entire frequencies are abandoned except for occasional emergency broadcasts cutting through static.

Oulu’s cargo apron tells the story better than any briefing ever could. Half-loaded trucks sit frozen in place beside stacks of untouched fuel drums. Mechanics work beneath floodlights in temperatures well below freezing.

Officials reveal the truth carefully: remote airstrips across Lapland have gone dark one by one. Power failures. Fuel shortages. Missing personnel.

The supply network depended on constant movement. Small strips feeding larger hubs. Larger hubs supporting the frontier.

Now every interruption spreads outward like cracks through lake ice.

And somewhere beyond the forests to the northeast, the frontline is already running low on supplies.
