I'd like to send our offer to the Ivanov Bros since they offer us quantity that's necessary for conducting multiple operations at the same time. Also, I'm fairly certain their Israeli connections would get us first dibs on lucrative contracts they and their American lobbyists want done. As for our name; Exemplary Outcomes LLC My callsign: Ventura PS: If we do get some Hinds, I recommend we hire some ex-SF dudes so we can drop them off to conduct operations at the ground level with them.

Pretty certain if we needed surface-to-surface missiles, we could just buy a bunch of scuds.

I'd say the best place to practice our COIN skills is Tibet. I'd be inclined to go for the Chinese contract since it's just a simple bomb truck job that'll get you gents warmed right up.

I'm fairly certain going right into terrorism would result in y'all getting a bath in Guantanamo Bay. Besides, we don't have stealth aircrafts so the CAG would notice us rather quickly loving with all-american companies.

I think we can afford to lose money on one mission if it means we'll actually complete it. My recommendation is that we use our AWACS to keep an eye out for anything that might hurt the transports from BVR ranges. IMO, our plan should be to have a pair of Gripens for both flights of aid and one pair as a rapid response group. As for the bridge, I'd recommend a stand-off attack with something lasing the drat thing. First impressions are important, people.

We probably can mount the GBU to an SK-60 and have another one lase it. As for what we can expect, I presume we'll just see a lot of chinese equipment with some soviet surplus in the mix (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

We want NATO compatible stuff so we probably should place a bid on the F/A-50s. Phantoms are fine but only if we get a set of spare engines for them.

I don't think we need extra photorecce stuff unless we suddenly double our Gripen fleet. Also, we probably could only really use 20 Mavericks and reduce the A2A order to 16 Meteors and 30 IRIS-Ts. PS: Put high-quality Coffee on the list, the local stuff is garbage.

We should avoid selling our aircrafts at this point, if only because I get the feeling we are going need anything and everything with wings there is. Once we get out of this hot armpit of Asia, then we probably can sell the SK-60s to some other start-up/third world country.

We probably should in that case put SK-60s to CAS duty while we'll send a flight of Gripens to see what's going down in the sea. We probably can spare 2 Gripens for SEAD.

Agean90 posted:correct me if I'm wrong, but arnt we operating at sea? why do we need sead? Let me simplify it for you: SK-60s go to CAS, they get a pair of Gripens to aid them and the rest go hunt down boats. And just in case, make sure we strip off all identifying marks on aircrafts that go hunt them down.

I don't think we need more dedicated CAS crafts, we need multi-roles.

Soup Inspector posted:You know what? Sod it, put me down for this option too. The sheer diversity of the Frogfoot's armaments are hard to beat, and even the complication of the supply lines is arguably an advantage (i.e. proofing us against a supplier shutting us off). Two reasons: 1. We are still a fairly small outfit and being flexible is what we should focus on. 2. Having more viable aircrafts in case we have to conduct emergency scrambles.

We'd be better off setting our poo poo in a remote airstrip with a friendly local government, preferably one with oil and manufacturing. We could effectively take it over if we maintain a mercenary unit that can take out the local tinpot if necessary. Just tell the guy that if he doesn't gently caress with our poo poo, we won't gently caress him and everyone he knows up. Maybe help him out if he needs some.

I do think we should keep about half of the SK-60s because they can still deliver rockets and we have the spare parts to keep them running as long as we want.

Nope, while Frogfoots are tempting we'll get 8 aircrafts that we'll end up selling forward at a loss. Besides, we didn't go for the big Ivanov offer so we won't have the spares to keep half of the drat things running. I say we call Broadstreet and ask what they have for us. A 30 minute chat isn't that expensive anyways, especially since long distance calls are cheaper than ever before.

We have to throw every plane we can get flying at the strike. If we lose a plane or two, it's still a more preferable alternative than getting stomped on the runway/hangars.

I think we could get 4 SK-60s for the diversion and 4 more for the base strike itself. They could focus on destroying the control tower or fuel supplies.

If we improve our relations with NATO, I'd suggest either the Falklands or American Samoa. Both have good airfields, are relatively out of the way for any major powers and would give us a way to net a lot of good future contracts.

You know, those Libertarian gents have a lot of gold. Dollars and such will change their value but gold's always good. Besides, I get the feeling that the Bering straits situation ain't gonna go anywhere. If we buy some planes, we probably can afford to run a quartet of Gripens there for protection duty while the majority of our assets are in Angola like it's 1988. Just don't take any politically risky jobs up in the arctics.

power crystals posted:My problem with splitting the airbases (you know, conceptually, since we can't) is that after all the handwringing over air defense systems we only have a single HAWK battery. Unless we buy the second the other airbase will be very vulnerable. Something we may want to keep in mind. We could just keep a small share of our assets in one of them if we run out of space in our main one. Even then, we should never deploy anything that's expensive in them because the most they have is some Strelas and ZU-23s.

I don't think they care about it that much, especially since the political situation is rather unstable now and at least in this universe, the JSDF are expanding and getting more authority to do what they want. I'm fairly certain they've reverse-engineered everything inside them so they can pretty much produce every part of them if necessary. Also, the X-2 isn't ready yet.

Engines won't be an issue since there already exists a very capable manufacturer of them in Japan and secondly, I'm quite certain that the Japanese government is very concerned about an actual no-bullshit war especially when that Tac-Nuke hit the Chinese staging area.
