The explosion turned the UAZ to a flaming mess, the vhole front of it shredded. It also killed the driver, before he culd get out. The two others in the back survived, but vere shell-shocked by the explosion, and one of them vas thrown-back a few meters by the force of it.Even with the unfamiliarity with the weapon, the fact that it was headed toward her, and slowing, made it relatively easy to flatten the passenger's side front tire, at which point the UAZ swerved once then slowly began to grind to a halt. The men inside, including the driver, began disembarking and setting up positions around the disabled vehicle, apparently getting ready for an extended shootout.
The other UAZ, apparently confused by the sudden slowing, slowed themselves to try to figure out this new plan.
That's when Joska seemed to break his cover. He made a quick serpentine run from his truck, keeping to what little cover there was, and unhitched something from inside his belt. With a quick heft, the cylinder flew from his hand and definitely appeared to stick to the disabled UAZ with a solid clank which indicated that it was magnetic.
That was before the explosion, which tore the front quarter of the disabled UAZ apart, sending shrapnel flying. It was unclear at this point how many were killed or injured by that.
What was clear, was that Joska wasn't a thug leading a gang of thugs.
He, perhaps, had some explaining to do to some people.
Meanwhile, the rest of Joska's men turned their attention on the other vehicle, taking advantage of the confusion and laying down suppressing fire.
Arisu hadn't brought just Alysson with her, but other than the pilot, copilot and technician from Japan, one other man, who had only been scarcely seen by Alysson on the plane - she thought he was just another crew member or backup pilot, climbed out of the plane and literally scaled the side of the plane, lying atop it with some sort of longarm that had been strapped to his back. That might take a little while to setup, but it was indeed higher ground, and might be overlooked when you took into account all of the weapons fire and explosions that the attackers had to deal with suddenly.

Just as that one vas picking him-self back to his feet, obviusly disoriented... Natalija's shot ziped thru his chest, killing him. She imediatly shifted aim to the other one and let out another shot, but that one managed to get back behind the burning UAZ in-to cover, her shot missing.
"Nice... only one left on this side!" Natalija caled out tovard Joska. Glancing at him, she seen the AN-94 in his hands. That, coupled vith his use of a magnetic-adhesive grenade, sent her mind spining. This guy vasnt a common thug, thats for sure. But vho WAS he, then?
Wel, questions culd wait until this mess vas over and done. There vas stil that last one to deal with from the lead UAZ, and he wuldnt be a easy target, in cover there behind his ruined vehicle.
"Keep him pinned there vith short bursts, vhile I advance on him, wil you?" she added to Joska. Then she sholdered her M76, and puled out her switchblade from the right boot. Vith a click, the razor-sharp, 12 centimeter blade snaped-out. Staying in a very low crouch, she looked back tovard the other UAZ on the oposite side of the plane, making sure they didnt have a clear line of fire to her back, then started her aproach on the burning UAZ, and the man behind it, trusting Joska to keep a steady stream of fire on it, to keep the man pinned. Vith any luck, she culd catch that one off-guard as she rounded the vehicle, and dispose of him vith the knife. Vith all the smoke and fire coming off his cover, he wuldnt have a hope of seeing anything thru it until it was too late.

Meanvhile, the other UAZ stopped, under a barrage of fire from Joska's men, and the 3 people insyde it scrambled out to take cover and prepare for a firefight. One of them vasnt so lucky, as he vas catched by a burst as he exited, but the other 2 managed to take firing positions behind their vehicle, vhich was rapidly being filed with holes. Then they opened up in full on Joska's guys on the truck, as wel as the plane in back-stop position behind it Several windows on the plane vere already shot-thru, as more then a few holes visible in its body. It wuld likely not be flight-vorthy with-out repairs, after this.
One more of Joska's guys screamed-out, as a bullet pierced his sholder, wounded but not dead.
