Following the denial from Prussia to assist their operation in the middle East, Belka began its own operation. To secure its own border the Belkan Army has began pushing South Around the Caspian Sea. Most Kazakhstan people were okay with this and acknowledged the strength the Belkans posessed, and liked their Russian neighbors. However there was a lot of resistance, especially once they reached Turkmenistan. The route being used from Belka to Iran had been secured up to Turkmenistan, where the armored battalions were slowed down. A-10's ran continuous strafe runs in the area. This was to be followed up by a push led by T-14's main battle tanks and GAZ TIGR's armored personnel carriers. About 5,000 troops stayed in Kazhkastan to keep the route safe.
