Must have been my lucky day, too bad i didn't buy a lottery ticket

That's not a supply raid. It's a facility construction unit.

28 days on any mission sounds impressive to me

Yeah, there are two types of supply raids:

The first one is the one we see most often, that moves strength from one region to another.

The second is less common, that builds a facility in the region.

The facility one lasts a lot longer, but the activity tends to initiate in regions that you haven't contacted, which means you won't see it nearly as often.

I was so surprised to see it that I thought it was a bug. Weirdly enough I got mine in a region I had contacted a long time ago, however it turns out there were facilities already built in all the nearby uncontacted regions.

Well, obviously it is a Supply Raid as you can see but i get what you mean : it's not a Reinforce activity but a Build Research Facility activity (both creating Supply Raid missions).

Still i was quite lucky to detect it with such an infiltration timer. That haven have 10 rebels, 2 of them being level 2 so it took them slightly less than 20 days to reach the 850 intel required to start detecting the activity. With a maximum duration of 48 days i must have detected it on the first or second roll to have more than 28 days left. Looks like i managed to hit a 0.5% shot

Not concerned as i have contacted every region by now , which is probably why i see it for the very first time.
