Reupload. The other video had desynced audio. This reupload now features the entire mission from start to finish, the aftermath, & timestamps. Enjoy! Consider subscribing if you liked the video. I figured I'd do something like this so that Kestrel's rescue has a little context for those who want it.
Mission Start - 0:51
Kestrel Found - 19:07
Aftermath - 24:33
During the Blacklist attacks two years after the EMP attack on D.C. that took place in 2011, 4th Echelon field operatives Sam Fisher and Isaac Briggs investigated a lead involving Voron attempting to steal a nuclear weapon from India. Eventually, the operation led them to an abandoned city in Koltsovo Naukograd, Russia. Originally, their mission being to retrieve the intel source that Voron was using they discovered instead a medical facility with a lone individual in a comatose state. Evidence showed that the coma was artificial and had been induced several times, presumably for interrogation purposes, leading Sam to believe that Voron's intel source was in fact the individual.
Fisher and Briggs managed to extract with the patient, whom later Anna Grímsdóttir identified as Mikhail Loskov, callsign "Kestrel". Due to Kestrel's knowledge of 3rd Echelon, Fisher decided that it was best that they keep him aboard the Paladin until they found out what he knew. Afterwards, Kestrel's entry in the SMI database states that he indeed recovered aboard the Paladin and that he was aware that Voron used him as an intel source. However, he did not know how he ended up in their hands or that Andriy Kobin had played a role in it.
