Inner Circle

The Inner Circle is the Russian Ultranationalist terrorist cell lead by Ultranationalist leader Vladimir Makarov in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and is the cell that was responsible for the Zakhaev International Airport during the events of "No Russian". The organization's name wasn't reveiled until Modern Warfare 3 (especially in Multiplayer).

The Inner Circle is a group of terrorist that are loyal to serve Makarov and carry out his commands. The organization's goal in the Modern Warfare era was to rule over Europe in order to start an Empire with Makarov as the supreme ruler. To start this, the organization, through the bomb-maker of the group, Volk, ordered cargo full of chemical WMDs from the Somolian Militia and their leader. The chemical weapons were first shown detonated at the end of "Mind the Gap" where it killed many people in London (including some SAS operators, excluding Sergeants Burns and Wallcroft). Before this, Makarov ordered his men to hijack the Russian President's plane in order to kidnap him and his daughter to force him to hand over the launch codes of nuclear warheads to launch at Europe. The group also went as far as to kill many best soldiers in the world, including Sgt. Jackson, Lt. Vasquez, PFC Allen, Sgt. Kamarov, Soap, and his friend-turned-enemy Yuri. The organization eventually crumbled after Task Force 141 and Delta Force rescued the Russian President and his daughter in a Siberian diamond mine. The group was then completely eliminated as a threat when Makarov was killed by Price Captain Price at the Hotel Oasis in the Arabian Pennensula.
