Nothing suggested now will make it in the current update for sure, but we do know there is a secretive special ops sorta faction operating in ground zero
#CIA's Black Ops (Enemy FACTION & AI)

But believed to be Russian aligned. Hard to say because everything in the game faction wise is all international and not specific to one country

There's certainly a group/force behind what's happening. I don't think it makes sense to just make it "the CIA". That feels ... boring?
I think you get a lot more runway making it a fictional group that doesn't get bound down by in-world politics or constraints.
But certainly "someone" is behind what's going on.

That really does sound to me along the lines of whats expected for ground zero
Thats where the "end game" content is likely to be, including that mysterious other faction, high value stuff, etc

yeah, the Strauss company, who are supposed to be equipped with higher end gear
I don't remember if they mentioned if they were supposed to have western weapons too

I don't remember if they mentioned if they were supposed to have western weapons...
Nothing has been confirmed there, but the name in and of itself implies a German (or German extraction) background for the group.
Doesn't necessarily follow they will use western weaponry accordingly, but if that assumption about origin is correct, it's quite likely they will.

The CIA was involved in Laos during the vietnam war. There are some abandoned buildings with a radar station and a old airfield
somber owl
Just have to keep in mind that though the game is based of Laos regionally, it isnt actually Laos.

Laos also being land locked....

idk if you are suggesting the devs change the game story/lore to your fan fic or you are trying to guess the game story/lore, but i believe there is suposedly some special forces in the lore cause you can hear the faction NPC's talking about some guys that got hit by very well trained personel if you pay attention and i think they aren't talking about the other PMC factions since they say they don't know who hit them
