The Fulton recovery system was employed extensively by Big Boss's Militaires Sans Frontières in the 1970s. During the Peace Walker Incident, it was used to capture downed enemy soldiers, rescue prisoners of war, and to extract personnel from combat zones, using UH-1D/H Iroquois helicopters modified to carry a Fulton recovery hook. One of the reasons why MSF-XO Kazuhira Miller implemented a voluntary recruitment program for the MSF during the mission was to lessen the amount of Fulton recoveries, feeling that they were "heavy handed."[1]
Like the MSF before them, Diamond Dogs also used the Fulton recovery system in the 1980s to recruit soldiers and rescue hostages and scientists and put them to work at Mother Base. Upon "Big Boss's" return to Mother Base, Revolver Ocelot will give Venom Snake a Fulton Recovery pack with instructions to use it to recruit as many people as possible for the development of Mother Base. In addition, after various upgrades, they also used it to procure various crates, implanted weapons, land vehicles, supplies, and animals such as sheep and goats at the expense of GMP, even though Diamond Dogs gets reimbursed with the same amount plus a little extra from a non-governmental organization for getting those animals out of the battlefield. With regards to the crates, the Diamond Dogs could also use its ability to airlift crates to get out of a mission by hitching a ride with the crate. Unlike MSF, however, it did not use Fultons to deliver airdropped supplies, which was instead delivered via parachute. When attempting to secure the remains of the Man on Fire at the Yakho Oboo Supply Outpost, Venom Snake initially intended to use the Fulton to extract the body of the Man on Fire, although this failed due to the Man on Fire subsequently awakening and proceeding to attack Snake one last time before dying for good, with his awakening causing the balloon to explode. The Diamond Dogs utilized this form of recovery for "recruits" enough times in Afghanistan that several of the sightings were reported, causing at least one Soviet soldier to assume American CIA agents had been behind the abductions due to the Fulton recovery system being of American origin.[3] Similarly, the Diamond Dogs also used the Fulton enough times in Africa that, by the time of the PFs Zero Risk Security and Contract Forces of Africa's caravan to the Munene River to SANR, they mentioned that the area around Outpost 12 was suffering from a lot of disappearances.[4] Venom's buddies Quiet, D-Dog and D-Horse are equipped with fultons, either to extract them out of the mission area once the mission was complete (D-Horse) or otherwise to act as an emergency extraction in case they are left severely injured (all of them).
In Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the Fulton recovery system is a core gameplay mechanic, used to capture enemy soldiers or rescue POWs. To capture soldiers, they must be tranquilized, unconscious, held up, or near death before they can be attached to a recovery balloon. Unlike Portable Ops, it can be used inside buildings, and the balloon itself is spherical. Capturing soldiers at near death status will have them placed in Sickbay with [Wounds]. The limit of Fulton recoveries per mission is 100. Each time an additional recovery is performed after reaching the 100 mark, Kazuhira Miller will call in, stating that there are far too many people on board Mother Base, with sounds of commotion in the background, eventually also remarking irritably that a potential recruit fell overboard.
The Fulton was absent in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, although it does return in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Hideo Kojima stated that the reason he didn't include it in Ground Zeroes is because he felt it wouldn't have made sense to use a fly-by recovery in a heavily fortified base, and from a story perspective there are limited resources available to Snake due to the UN's nuclear inspection.[6] The Fulton is no longer an equipped item in The Phantom Pain. Instead, the player can simply press the Triangle button when prompted. In addition to Fultoning soldiers, the player can also use it to Fulton animals such as sheep, as well as containers and vehicles. In addition, unlike in Peace Walker, it now costs GMP to use the Fulton, with a single soldier amounting to 300 GMP. Fulton recovery also works on a percentage chance in The Phantom Pain. As well as this, the player can no longer Fulton soldiers or POWs indoors. There is also a turret that launches Fultons at enemy soldiers in Metal Gear Online 3. In addition, this iteration of the Fulton device is effective inside.
In the 2015 Gamescom game play demo for The Phantom Pain, it was revealed that there is an upgradeable version of the Fulton surface to air recovery system, called the Wormhole Extraction Device (WED). The WED was used to extract a wounded soldier from Mother Base, for the price of 300 GMP. Applying the WED has the same process and icon as the Fulton. However, the soldier is lifted into a 6 foot long orange wormhole, with fire-like sparks coming from it. The wormhole was 12 feet from the ground, and the soldier hovered in in for a few seconds before going into it, and the wormhole itself disappearing. It was stated that unlike the balloon fultons the WED cannot be shot down. However, it is suspected that while the entity is being lifted, it can still sustain damage. The device can be developed in single-player via upgrading the Fulton.
In The Phantom Pain, the player can only extract containers and soldiers either outdoors, or through a hole in the roof of the building or cave they are inside. Wormhole Extraction Device negates this and has a 100% success rate regardless of where the player is, including indoors. There are some areas such as Nova Braga Airport that have high amounts of high-quality containers (three red precious metal containers to be precise) that are indoors, meaning only Wormhole Extraction Device can extract them.
The investigation found that "the two had been recruited in Turkey by senior Hamas terrorist Zaher Jabarin," who was released in Israel's 2011 prisoner exchange deal with Hamas, in exchange for the freedom of captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
"During the investigation, it became clear that Hamas is in direct contact with Turkish authorities via Jihad Ya'amur, a terrorist who was involved in the [1994] abduction of IDF soldier Nahshon Waxman [the soldier was murdered by Hamas during an Israeli attempt to rescue him]." Ya'amur was also released by Israel in the 2011 Shalit deal.
There has never been a major conventional war near so many active nuclear power plants, and the deployment of NBC decontamination units likely recognizes the worst-case scenario that Russian forces may operate in or around nuclear contaminated areas. A Chernobyl-style meltdown of a reactor core due to combat would not just endanger local inhabitants and nearby soldiers on both sides, but easterly winds would carry radiation into Russia. This is especially true of any damage to the six reactors at Zaporizhzhia, which is approximately 200 miles from the border with Russia and less than 125 miles from Donetsk.
Second, Ukraine has its own cyber and electronic warfare capabilities, and these should be directed against Russian command and control centers and logistics nodes if war begins. Any Russian invasion moving over 100,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of vehicles would be hamstrung if railways and major transportation hubs were to lose power and military headquarters found their computers partially or wholly inoperable.
During the Battle of Debaltseve from July 2014 to February 2015, a reinforced Ukrainian mechanized brigade defended a key road-rail junction for five months and withdrew only after massive armored and artillery strikes cut them off. Ukrainian soldiers had to abandon their equipment and retreat on foot through the wooded countryside. But they then regrouped and established a new defensive line 20 miles to the rear.26
On top of the basics, you can man various special structures and vehicles that may be already scattered across the battle map. Whether you're picking off soldiers with a sniper's tower or bombing things with a biplane, it's a ton of fun to click on random things and see what they're capable of. You can also upgrade your structures and one aspect that you'll have to stay on top of is repairs because the enemy army will try their darnedest to make all of your hard work explode in your face. I guess it's not the worst thing Germans ever did.
The battle takes place against biological monsters and Shinra soldiers, and rewards a Refocus Materia. Any pair between Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and Aerith can be used in the battle. Both Fire Materia and Ice Materia will be needed, across both characters, although lightning materia is also helpful. If Elemental Materia is used, it should be used on armor, paired with either, to absorb damage, as some enemies absorb certain elements. Beyond this, First Strike Materia is helpful to open battles favorably, and pairing Time Materia with Magnify Materia is useful in a variety of cases.
This challenge involves three rounds against Shinra soldiers. The first is fought simply against three security officers and three riot troopers, which can be defeated easily with Windstorm attacks. The second involves a battle against two Deepground SOLDIERs and one helitrooper, which are slightly more difficult to defeat due to the Deepground SOLDIER's ability to teleport and the helitrooper's flight; Fire Ninjutsu can be used with ranged attacks against the helitroopers, while well-timed Synergized Windstorm attacks are effective against the Deepground SOLDIER. The final round is against three 3-C SOLDIER operators, against which a mix of Fire Ninjutsu, Synergized Windstorm, and Synergized Art of War attacks can be used to empower a fully-charged Fiery Banishment to great effect. 2ff7e9595c
