Red Horizon Leg 6

Leg 6 — LRBV → LRSB Brașov, Romania → Sibiu, Romania

A low-altitude mountain corridor flight carrying evacuation orders and defensive coordination teams deeper into central Romania.

Burning Sky

The sixth leg unfolded beneath a sky that no longer belonged to civilians.

Contrails streaked high overhead from combat aircraft while military helicopters crossed valleys below carrying wounded personnel away from eastern sectors.

Brașov’s operations center evacuated during your departure after nearby radar stations were reportedly targeted overnight.

The route westward through the Carpathians forced the aircraft low between steep mountain walls and dense fog banks. Smoke drifted across several valleys from burning fuel depots while long convoys crawled through narrow passes beneath constant military escort.

Then the radio traffic changed.

No longer confusion.

No longer fragmented uncertainty.

Now the transmissions carried calm urgency.

Structured retreat orders.

Fallback coordinates.

Defensive regrouping.

The first lines had already failed.
