Saw that, I love how the artillery base actually looks like a battle occurred there now. Question is was this Soviet machines fighting the Swedish military before they went haywire? Or after?

I thought the military on Östertörn was all wiped out or in hiding/evacuated after the Cataclysm. So I don’t think the Soviets would’ve even met them.

Yeah i think they still exist, it is a large military.

Anl 129 Viggohem in Forest lost its Vråken in the “Base Assault” update. Instead now the hangar seems to be used as storage and occupied by Civil Militia.

I remember the first time I encountered this fighter plane, was scratching my head this isn’t really a Viggen but it is kinda 
I guess Saab might not be to happy if it was, awesome plane in its day though loved it as a kid !

Soviet Landing Hovercrafts
Hovercraft are hybrid vessels operated by a pilot as an aircraft rather than a captain as a marine vessel. Hovercraft use blowers to produce a large volume of air below the hull that is slightly above atmospheric pressure.
Landingzones from South to North in order
Landing zone: Fedyenka
Status: Open, intact and reachable
Landing zone: Elga
Status: Closed, intact and off the coast
Landing zone: Dima
Status: Closed, intact and reachable
Landing zone: Calina
Status: On fire and reachable. (Destroyed by Norrmyra tanks and artillery)
Landing zone: Boris
Status: Open, intact and reachable
Landing zone: Anya
Status: Open, intact and reachable
Landing zone: Unnamed or unreached
Status: Sunk, close to the docks

Hagaboda docks…
Thank you. Now I will check it out.

The second picture is probably a J-32 but it might be a A-32

Maybe they are just wrecked models of the Vraken.
As we all should have seen, many models and textures got improved as the game evolved. One of the best examples are the Vraken. These destroyed parts of planes could just be based on the first models of Vraken, but didn’t get an update.
Can you show pictures of the two planes?
No, that’s not it. I know now where the wreck models in GZ came from. These are assets from the game “The Hunter CotW”, and I found them in that game. There is a landmark at the wreck that tells about a small passenger plane that crashed in Calburn in '70s, and had one survivor who was rescued after seven days surviving in the wild. GZ has a few of these assets crossed over from “The hunter” Game (like for instance the ‘drei meilen bis’ Milestones / Riksrösen)
But what type of passenger plane it was, was not mentioned in the lore.

Now we have new Flying Machines roaming the airspace that probably also needs to have an area where they operate from. The Planned landing point for the Soviet Firebird reinforcements is at Hagaboda docks.
How big is the Firebird?
I have take the Firebird’s blueprint and approximately calculated the wingspan. The blueprint has only values as the scaling number, no specific lengths. For instance, they have given two points on the circle with the value 1/65 (1 unit = 65 units)
So the (red) blueprint shows the scale in units, but it doesn’t say what the length of 1 unit is.
I opened the blueprint in an editor and zoomed to 1:1, and then roughly measured 1 unit of the shown grid, this is about 0.5 cm. I counted between 30 and 31 units between those two points.
For this approximation I used 30 units (30x65)/2. The 1/65 scaling works out to aprox. 9.75 metres. From that we can infer, that the wingspan (circle) is ~13.78 metres. If I use 31 units of 0.5 cm I get a wingspan of ~14.24 metres. Please check and comment what you think?

That’s the beauty of VTOL aircraft - they can operate from everywhere, without a need for an air base

Yeah sure, Firebirds are VTOLs, but they still probably have some base of operations, or at least I hope they do. I’m gonna look for it. 
However, and I’m just speculating here, according to the intercepted Soviet communications the Firebird Reinforcements came from Camp Kabarga, which is probably somewhere on the island North-East of the North Coast Region.
Trivia: Kabarga (кабарга) means “Musk Deer”

I have updated the strange up and down happenings in the the story of Norrmyra Arena, with a new picture. Now, as of the feb '23 update, eight of the pillboxes in the arena which were added with the Recon Update aug '22, are gone again, but left a hovering door.

Checked it for PS5, too: confirmed.
Press square to open
Nothing happens. (just an opening sound and status change to open)
Press square to close
Door disappears.
