Both the IRIS-T and the Python-5 (IIRC) can engage targets behind the firing aircraft..  No idea if any of our BVR missiles can or if CMANO models this though. A search for "Gripen 360 Noscope" on YouTube found this video, btw. I can definitely see HG pilots film themselves during an op and either livestream or upload the video to YouTube .

Something I've been wondering since the last OP. I remember when the planes still airborne ran out of radar missiles chasing Wild Willie's support craft some still had IR seekers left. Why not use them? Or guns? Seems a wasted opportunity to have viable weapons left and not try to shoot some undefended support planes.

For the Gripens, we normally set their ROE such that they return home after expending all their long-range missiles. This is intended to stop them from closing in with IRIS-Ts and being lost unnecessarily, which was a semi-regular feature over the Bering Sea; unfortunately, this could also mean that their heaters never get used even when they might be. The extra caution, I think, is not a bad thing.

Hey hey, finally caught back up with this thread, and just in-time for a Civvie vote! I vote let them in, these people have been good to us, this is their home, plus if w leave them out to dry when the bombs fall, we can kiss our 20% discount at Arber's Bar goodbye and let me tell you I am not going back to Liridon's bar to pay a mark up for a lovely Moscow Mule! Also for the bomb shelter, this obviously should be the bunker theme song.

quote:TU-22M Backfire  We're going to get a lot of mileage out of those Sky Bows, I think. On the upside, these heavy bombers are anything but stealthy so we should see them coming. On the downside, armament profile includes cruise missiles. If they know we've got the Sky Bow (and they should) then their mission profile is going to necessitate neutralizing them before sending in the bombers to level the base. So, SEAD strike, then cruise missile strikes. Possibly conduct SEAD with a ground strike, some kind of mechanized/armour element? The other way to play it would be to can the SEAD altogether and go in fast and low, riding the treetops at supersonic speed and hope the terrain masks them long enough to get in range, but that's some Cold War poo poo and our low-level air defense is ace. Each Backfire has an internal weapons bay and two external pylons. Internal weapons bay can mount 6x Kh-15 cruise missiles (300km range, 350kg warhead) in a revolver magazine or one Kh-22/Kh-32 cruise missile (600km range, 1000kg warhead). Note that the Kh-22P variant is an anti-radiation missile. External pylons can mount either 2x Kh-15 or 1x Kh-22. Knowing this, I'd dedicate one unit of Backfires to SEAD with the Kh-22Ps, that's six cruise missiles to nuke anything radiating. Then bring in the other unit of Backfires to level the base with the Kh-15s. If we've only got one or two then put Kh-22Ps on the external pods and the Kh-15s in the internal revolver, again same mission profile, SEAD with the Kh-22Ps and ground strike with the cruise missile spam.  this poo poo. Remind me, what's the range on our Sky Bow? What's the range on our radar sets? Can we beat 600km radar range? Radio Free Kobold fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Mar 22, 2018 |

bibliosabreur posted:"Meet at Klub-K"? Tomahawkski ain't the half of it, the Klub K seems to be the really nasty anti-ship variant with the supersonic second-stage sprint. Those things are bloody difficult to deal with and if we end up having to rely on our ship point defences against a saturation attack it's probably curtains. The exact Tu-22 in question is interesting, I'd expect Oks to know the difference between the Tu-22 Blinder and the Tu-22M Backfire but we have to plan around a rain of Kitchens and then be glad if we avoid it. Su-27s and MiG-29s should be easy meat for the Gripens but we have to get the Gripens up first and we're probably going to have to take marginal engagements with the Akefs just to keep up with numbers.

Former Ukranian is the best bet, they sold off something like 300 of the things. Buy a dozen or two, cobble together a working flight out of that. God help us if someone out there is 3DP'ing the bastards.

Threat Analysis "MiG-29" Most likely candidate: Romanian MiG-29 Fulcrum A (1989). Retired by the Romanian Air Force in and put in storage in 2003 - bought up by ROMARM? Possible upgrade/alternative candidate: Ukrainian MiG-29 Fulcrum A (1992), which adds incendiary cluster bombs, 122mm rockets with penetrators, and anti-runway cluster bombs. Key loadouts: A/A: 2x Alamo-A (45 nmi), 4x Archer (10 nmi) Bombing: 4x FAB-500M bombs, 4x Archer (10 nmi) Bombing: 8x FAB-250M bombs, 4x Archer (10 nmi) Anti-runway: 2x BetAB-500SP Anti-Runway bombs, 4x Archer (10 nmi) Rockets: 10x S-13B 122mm rockets w/penetrators (2 nmi), 4x Archer (10 nmi) Likely role: 1. Strike (most likely) 2. A2A (less likely) "Su-27" Most likely candidate: Ukrainian Su-27S Flanker B (1992). Since Ukraine seems to have been annexed by Russian, and Russia is unlikely to give up their precious modernized Flankers, these seem like a likely possibility. Key loadouts: A/A Max: 2x Alamo-C (70 nmi), 2x Alamo-A (45 nmi), 2x Alamo-B (45 nmi), 2x Archer (10 nmi) Rockets: 20x S-13B 122mm rockets w/penetrators (2 nmi), 2x Alamo-A (45 nmi), 2x Archer (10 nmi) Anti-runway: 4x BetAB-500SP Anti-Runway bombs, 2x Alamo-A (45 nmi), 2x Archer (10 nmi) Bombing: 4x FAB-500M bombs, 2x Alamo-A (45 nmi), 2x Archer (10 nmi) Likely role: 1. A2A - clear out our CAP and then shoot down our climbing interceptors. 2. Strike - hit the runway or support facilities at low or medium altitude (unlikely, since the Flankers are better used for A2A). "Tu-22" This couild be the Tu-22 Blinder or the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-22M]Tu-22M Backfire. The Blinders are no longer in serivce and were pretty bad, so I think the Tu-22M is a more likely threat. They're more capable, but also fairly rare. The Ukrainian ones got scrapped post-Cold War, so that leaves us with three sources for these: museums, 3DP, or Russian lend-lease. If it's Russian lend-lease, we're looking at these: Tu-22M-3M Backfire C - which have the nasty anti-ground and anti-ship AS-4 Kitchen D missile (two max with 601.9 km range), and a variety of other bombloads, including two ~6,500lb FAB-3000 bombs, eight ~3,000lb FAB1\-1500 bombs, fifty-two ~1,100lb FAB-500 bombs, or up to sixty-nine ~500lb FAB-250 bombs. If it's a museum job, there were an old Backfire B and aBackfire C sitting in the Ukraine. Maybe they got refurbished. They have the same basic loadouts as the newer Russan backfires, just with older, shorter-ranged Kitchens. Likely role: 1. Standoff strike with AS-4 Kitchen D (targeting the Dutch frigates, bunker exits, or runways) 2. Stand off DEAD with AS-4 Kitchen D (targeting Ground Master, Sky Bow, I-HAWK, etc.), 3. High-level bombing (targeting facilities and runways - less accurate, but safer) 4. Low/Mid-level bombing ((targeting facilities and runways - more accurate, but riskier)

And that's not including the more modernized variants packing AA-12s. It really depends on who's organizing this strike on us, and critically, how much pull they have with the Russians (ranging from "close to none" to "they're a branch of the kleptocracy"). Old Su-27s aren't too much of a threat, but the newer Flankers and Fulcrums are legit dangerous, and the worst-case scenario is that the Russian security forces are "lending out" a handful.

Question from the peanut gallery, why is it that no one has tried using a big strategic bomber with bays full of Meteors as an air superiority craft? Is it because the range is too short and the target too big? It seems to me that our Gripens are basically Meteor delivery systems anyway and don't do huge amounts of dogfighting so wouldn't turning that up be the logical conclusion?
