I recall reading an interview with one of the advance teams that went into Iraq to designate targets for airstrikes alongside the local militias. They cheered like crazy when an old east bloc export tank sitting on an intersection was destroyed, and when the guy asked why it turned out they'd been trying to kill that specific tank for years. No wonder the budget arms market exists.

Any course of action should start with SEAD missions, in addition to whatever ground strike choice is made. I'm surprised EU NATO isn't running those round-the-clock right now, institutional paralysis or not. Seriously, where is the Bundeswehr and their hundreds of Leopards?

How many SDBs do we have? Can we start the day by glide-bombing all the previously known SAM positions? I doubt ROMARM are going to have the discipline to continually move their batteries.

What, and Russia/China's enemies will care what we're doing when we're working for them? This is really just "no fun allowed (but only for non-state-sponsored actors, proxy warriors are fine.)"

Davin Valkri posted:For me, the deciding factor is not so much the weapon system as it is the detection system. Being able to see something incoming 150 nm out, even if your primary ground response is good for 3 nm, is better than seeing something incoming 60 nm out, even if you can engage it at 27 nm, because of how the OODA loop simulation works. This is where I'm coming from. We're buying a nice radar that happens to come with a laser.

The answer to jcatch was to ask if aim-9s still locked on to helicopters, which they did, and then to ask why the pilots were going in with guns on what is essentially a flying AA emplacement instead of bvr killing it.

There's no way we can get a U2. You need to breathe oxygen for an hour before flying one of those, you need a second U2 pilot in a chase car just to land it. But if our new French friends were to find a Gorgon Stare or two that happened to fall off the back of a CIA truck somewhere, that would be nice.

Yooper posted:Recon Viggen gives us 4nm at 12,000 ft. Zero detection at 36,000 ft. Condor2 is 5nm at 12,000 ft, zero at 36,000 ft. TARPS is 2 nm at 12,000 ft, zero detection at higher altitudes. 10km square is probably for its persistent surveillance function, which is what GS is really meant for. For just finding out if something is there, you could likely push it considerably further.
