Destroy the Warsaw Pact's main forces (3)

You are starting near southern part of the river [1]. Buy 7 tanks T-80 in B or A versions and 4 gunships Mi-24 (models P or V). Place three tanks near western bridge and send infantry to the forest. Rest of the army move witch choppers and recon helicopter due east (in the same time use command vehicles to capture two sectors: Vasily [2] and Visky [3]). Place tanks in front of the eastern bridge and use gunships to destroy enemy units on the other side of the bank [4] (picture below).

Once you've destroyed main enemy forces move tanks across the bridge and eliminate survivors. Then move army due north, destroy enemy artillery and capture FOBs near city [5]. In the meantime NATO forces will attack you from western bridge, but if you have placed there tanks and infantry you will easily take them down (picture below).

When you get rid of the enemy on the eastern flank resupply units and continue north. Once again use choppers to clear the area and eliminate survivors with tanks. Watch out for gunships which can fly from west. Take them down with choppers or AA. Near main enemy's fortifications [7] you will encounter AA vehicles Shilka and T-80 tanks. Eliminate them from distance with gunships (picture below). After that move tanks to that area and capture FOB. You can also eliminate command vehicle which is in north-eastern sector.

Destroy the NATO's main forces (3)

After you eliminate enemy's forces on eastern flank start moving west toward sector Ivan [8]. On the road you will have to destroy two Shilkas and some T-80 tanks. To quickly capture Ivan sector use command chopper. In this way you will be able to call reinforcement from north. Buy 4 tanks T-80, some AA vehicles (Osa and Shilka) and 4 artilleries (leave it in sector Ivan with some tanks). Take rest of the army, move them across the western bridge and eliminate some enemy units (picture below) on the other bank.

Move across next bridge to the west and eliminate infantry in town [10]. Then use recon units to detect NATO forces in their main base [11]. After that shoot them down with artillery (picture below). When you destroy most of them use tanks to eliminate survivors. Once you've clear the sector the mission will end.

Control sector Jacob for 30 minutes (3) - additional

If you want to complete both additional tasks then you have to capture sector Jacob [6] at the latest in 22-23 minute. If you do this later you won't be able to accomplish Complete the mission in 55 minutes. Good moment to capture that is sector is right after take control of eastern flank [5] (you can capture it in less then 20 minutes). Owing to that enemy won't be able to attack you from the east. To capture sector send there 3 T-80 tanks, recon chopper (you may also use some gunships) and 3 groups of infantry in APCs. Enemy doesn't have many troops here (couple of APCs, T-72 tanks and some infantry) so you should quickly eliminate him (picture below). After that place units in forest and capture sector.

Complete the mission in 55 minutes (4) - additional

You will make it easily if you proceed quickly and done everything like in above tasks (Destroy the Warsaw Pact's main forces and Destroy the NATO's main forces). Also if you want complete additional task Control sector Jacob for 30 minutes and you've captured it about 20 minutes after start then wait with destroying NATO forces until countdown will end. Why? Because if you eliminate both enemies and you won't control this sector for required 30 minutes you won't complete the second task.
