By now Chernarus must be close to being fully controlled by the RPLA.

"The pitiful Chernarusian defense forces will crumble under the bootheel of our mighty cold-war era Katyusha rocket artillery muahaha~"
Say, those things are about due for a surgical strike, aren't they?
Quick question to the S-2 guys, do you know what the state of the nearby island of Utes is? Under RPLA control, it could easily be set up as an offshore fortress.

Utes is, if I remember correctly, something like 20 miles off the coast of Chernarus. In Harvest Red, it was taken by the ChDKZ and the 27th MEU (SOC) had to liberate it before moving on the nation proper.
If I had to guess, the RPLA will make a move on Utes once they control the majority of the coastline of Chernarus and try to use the CDF military base there to observe naval activity and interdict air and naval traffic. If Utes has fallen to the RPLA, they will need to be removed in order to secure safe travel to Chernarus by air or sea.
I like that idea if the RPLA is controlling Utes now. Especially if that's the strategic location to get into Chernarus.
But then again, Utes was used as a offshore military base by the Chernarussians. No doubt it has anti-aircraft defenses. Without strong naval vessels, I don't see how the RPLA could even get close without getting shot out of the sky. If Utes is still controlled by the Chernarussians, it could be used as a strong staging area for NATO forces.
