ALL YOU NEED IS SOME LETTER OR A4 PAPER... Turkey had a very important role during the cold war as the easternmost flank of NATO during the cold war. It was almost certain that her Blacksea coast was going to be the first objective of any Soviet assault if World War 3 broke out. This case study explores the scenario where 810th Naval Infantry brigade tries to force an amphibious attack on the transport hub of Samsun city. If the Soviets can capture the city's port and the secondary airfield on the first day¸ then they will be in a position to seriously disrupt the supply lines of the Nato forces trying to defend against their Caucasian Front attacks in Northeastern Turkey and maybe cut them off. This case study assumes that thanks to a surprise missile barrage at the start of the war¸ WP forces won the command of the air over the area. 810th naval brigade using this advantage manage to close to the shore from their base in Odessa and lands on the shore. NATO forces on the other hand¸ despite being heavily disrupted by the initial opening moves are coming to themselves. NATO may have a chance if it manages to hold the Soviets at the beach but a lot depends on the second rate troops that are called to defend the coast line.
