Those systems would indeed play a very important role in conflict, against an advanced adversary in the region. Missiles like the Tomahawk or Kalibr are quite important in modern warfare. The reason I like the Iskandar is because it's ground based mobile and because of that has a high survival rate on the battlefield, on a short notice such systems can hammer military infrastructure, reducing workload on say the Russian air force because the nearby enemy airfields just got hammered and is offline until repaired.

Freudian slip hehe

I agree with Panzer about the second but Russian military presence in Cuba and Vietnam is already a reality, however I don't think Russia is opening a base in those regions we just don't need too, but of course the presence of our military in those regions will always offer some kind of influence. In regards to the first link it says it all in the article: "However, officials said those attempts could not be directly linked to the Russian government" in US law, all suspects are innocent unless proven guilty. It could be a Russian dude working for Kim Jung IL for all we know.

I second this

LWRs are cool but just as there is a choice for T-90AMs there should be a choice for a M1A2 without LWR please! it would make my life so much easier

Well of course if there's no AD then SU-24s and 25s are not going to be flying CAS, I know this. Anyways I think I get what you're saying, you meant that if there was little AD then aircraft could use the standoff range, and I agree with your proposal for the AD level thing.

Anyways I don't want to get into an argument whether or not the US can wreck Russian AD, but I think it's silly to assume that US fighter jets are going to be flying at standoff range unopposed by anything, while trying to target Russian stuff if there is an AD capability that can threat them.

Of course if it can erode it without facing heavy casualties and trouble back home, NATO has the numbers to out attrition us.

Of course if AD and a modern air fleet didn't block US aircraft from conducting CAS from their standoff range.Modern being not Iraqi or Serbian.

Are there any plans of introducing illumination rounds which could help Russian operations at night illuminating the battlefield and increasing the NV equipment's range? Would definitely be cool if looked over. My BMP-2s are not going to be launching operations at night without them against NATO type forces.

You should try to learn Russian then could help you in Combat Mission understanding what those green men say. Thanks for the compliment.

You're good I was just joking around.

Hehe I'm not unfamiliar with that smell. C'mon man my english is superb you can't just do me in like that

Hehe... Sardines?

Roger that, but is it realistic to have whole battle groups with 9 troops in each Bradley? I'm just wondering not that I know much about Bradley make ups. Ah I see, well if it's realistic and would be done in a real war then I have no issue with it. I was just wondering.

Is it me or do the Bradleys in game have 9 troop capacity? BTW those seats do look uncomfortable, but not that I'm unfamiliar with uncomfortable seating in an IFV.

Understood, my bad for the misunderstanding.

No need to apologize Belarus troops are Russian troops too lol (kidding) yeah BMP-2s passing by every day would probably make me go to the nearest government building and form a complaint. At least in Russia I don't know about Belarus, the government is getting better at listening to complaints.

Don't get how that pertains to the Russian army but still the locals should atleast contact the government to change that. I doubt anyone will actually get run over but I'd be pissed off to if I constantly had tanks going through my village.

Ehem.... Yes I know about CCIP I'm just saying we have a system like that as well. It's debatable but I don't want to argue about this on here, but the CEP on the SVP-24 is definitely not 50 meters in ideal conditions. I'll be generous and say 10-20 CEP depending on altitude and based on footage from Syria. Sounds hard to do, definitely the claimed 5 CEP of the SVP-24 was under trials with ideal conditions. In actual war time it may differ, anyways obviously SVP-24 is not comparable to smart munitions but they are still useful. My point was that Russia may not have PGMs in service like you guys do but atleast we have guidance systems on our CAS fleet. I'm sure if we had the budget you guys had we'd also invest heavily in PGMs but that's not a reality.

I agree with just about everything Mujos can't be trusted more than Soviet numbers, those guys throw a bunch of numbers out. The Soviet claim might be less but shouldn't be too far off give or take dozens more on it. The Pantsir's requirement is to engage PGMs, they make up part of the layer of defense of an HQ, Base, or air defense location. Other layers being ECM equipment, decoys, ect. Definitely not as much as the US air fleet. We opt for cheaper solutions like the SVP-24 on aircraft that's used in Syria to guide dumb bombs with accuracy. But of course our PGM capabilities still exist.

Sounds good actually.

I agree then, it would definitely add more options but I'm wondering if that could be done somehow?

I agree that the Tunguska cannot even hope to shoot a missile let alone an aircraft that just gazes by over restricted terrain flying away from radar and limited LOS. But I was just saying it has a capability to engage incoming precision missiles. Quite true, but again if there's S-300s or a super sniper XX F-22 out there, the CAS fighter must fly very low and avoid being targeted by aerial denial assets. So depends on the scenario at hand. If the US has totally rendered the Russian long range AA useless, then indeed F-15s should be able to totally avoid being hit by AAA or SHORADs.

Of course I never said it was going to be a guaranteed hit, the Tunguska's main focus is against the aircraft itself. But if the terrain permits it, and the Tunguska can track the incoming missile then it is possible to attempt to hit the incoming missile. Then I think it has to be looked into, even if the F-15 was flying low altitude it has the proper ECM to avoid being hit by it.
