The attack had first been alluded when it was suspected that the Spetsnaz commander was responsible for wiping out the Hamid unit there, although he denied any involvement when interrogated. Venom Snake first infiltrated the Smasei fort to secure a secret weapon that the CIA supplied to Hamid fighters, the Honey Bee missile launcher. After getting the weapon, Venom Snake was confronted by Skull Face and XOF and had to fight the mist squad of the Parasite Unit.
