Operation Ghost Corridor Leg 8

Leg 8 — OIII → OIKK Tehran, Iran → Kerman, Iran

A desperate southbound escape through barren mountain terrain and desert valleys toward southeastern Iran. The corridor was dying. Every route ahead showed signs of surveillance. Interference flooded navigation systems. Radio frequencies erupted with overlapping chatter in multiple languages. You descended even lower. At times the aircraft flew beneath ridge lines so tightly the wingtips felt within reach of stone. Kerman’s desert terrain offered fewer hiding places than the mountains behind you. The ghost corridor relied on terrain masking — but deserts exposed everything. You switched tactics. Speed. Silence. Darkness. Fuel calculations became critical. Diversion options disappeared one by one. Somewhere behind you, aircraft were airborne. Searching.
