Alternative History\
Black Sea | USSR | United States\
\
As winter encroaches over the Caucasus, the embers of defiance blaze hotter than ever. Following a series of decisive strikes by the United States Navy's Carrier Strike Group \"TF Challenger,\" the airspace above western Georgia has been wrested from Soviet hands. The skies once dominated by MiG interceptors and Il-76 airlifters now buzz with F/A-18 Hornets and F-14 Tomcats providing Combat Air Patrols (CAP) and precision air support for the emboldened Georgian nationalist militias below with A-6s.\
\
Across Eastern Europe, the situation is unraveling. The Berlin Wall has fallen. Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia are undergoing seismic political shifts, embracing reform and Western cooperation. NATO’s diplomatic posture has hardened while covert support to anti-Soviet movements expands behind the Iron Curtain. Moscow finds itself beset on all fronts—militarily overextended and economically paralyzed. Years of Afghanistan quagmire, dwindling oil revenues, and IMF debt pressure have reduced Soviet operational bandwidth. The Georgian uprising, once considered a minor flare-up, now looms as a dangerous symbol of broader collapse.\
\
Georgian forces, once fractured and ill-equipped, have consolidated their positions in key western cities such as Kutaisi, Poti, and Zugdidi, bolstered by covert NATO arms shipments and U.S. naval air support. What began as isolated resistance has grown into a coordinated push that threatens to fracture Soviet control across the entire Georgian SSR. The success of these operations has shaken the Kremlin to its core. In a hastily convened emergency session of the Politburo, the General Secretary reportedly clashed with hardline military leaders demanding immediate retaliation and a full-scale suppression of the rebellion. The Soviet Black Sea Fleet set sail from Sevastipol and Novorossiysk to search and destroy TF Challenger as directed by the General Secretary himself.\
\
Additionally, loyal Soviet Commanders has activated Army Regiments, and redirecting elite airborne and mechanized units from Ukraine and the North Caucasus Military District toward the embattled region. Spetsnaz reconnaissance units have been inserted deep into the Georgian interior to sabotage supply lines and eliminate key nationalist leaders. Simultaneously, strategic bombers operating from bases in Crimea and southern Russia have been on high alert for any provokative maneuvers from the USN, testing the resolve—and rules of engagement—of the US Forces now entrenched in Georgian airspace.\
\
Despite pressure from Moscow, the Western coalition refuses to retreat. NATO command assets have quietly moved into Turkish airbases, providing logistical and ISR support under the guise of a regional “stabilization” effort. Intelligence intercepts suggest that while the Soviets intend to push hard in the west, they are also preparing a two-pronged assault on the eastern corridor—around Rustavi and the outskirts of Tbilisi—aimed at cutting off the nationalist resistance from their new western allies.\
