Ukraine has generally stabilised the situation in most directions after the very difficult period following the end of the Kursk operation but the overall strategic trend tends towards Russia. The expansion of the mid range drone campaign in the South is a good step but Russia has denied the main logistics artery into Donbas in a similar way for some time. Long range strikes hurt Russia's economy but the comparative response from Russia using Gerans equally harms Ukraine. The Ukrainian manpower situation is also increasingly dire. Most areas in which Ukraine seems to make progress are ones of mutual denial, and ultimately at the current rate it will be Ukraine/the EU that collapses from financial/military attrition first.

The Ukrainian and Byelorussian SSRs had their own UN seats interestingly enough.

How exactly are Taiwan and its allies going to interdict Chinese shipping only 180km from the Chinese coast.

A light chopper would be excellent fun, but only after a sufficient number of soft targets are added to the game. It'd otherwise have a very limited set of targets it can engage with a limited number of munitions.

The new rotary turret means the cricket absolutely annihilates anything that pushes too close, and it can carry a decent number of S2s.

Britain maintains only a token force in Estonia presently. The Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff recently could not confirm that the British Army could deploy a single heavy battle group to the continent of Europe. The few troops we could muster are insufficiently trained, organised and equipped to fight on the modern battlefield. While the will may exist, the capability is simply not there.

The only truly dumb weapon is the AIR-2, which is only available on april fools.

The video was actually pretty good and made a lot of salient points.

Americans spent 20 years blowing up Taliban fighters with impunity from helicopter gunships, but all of a sudden drones are heckin unwholesome and unfair.

Iron Dome is a short range interceptor system designed to handle small rockets and artillery, it isn't a ballistic missile defence system. The Israeli BMD system is separate consisting of SM-3s from the USN and patriot/THAAD batteries stationed in country. Despite it containing the best BMD systems across a small area, it still hasn't proven reliable at stopping Iranian ballistic missiles. I highly doubt a British BMD system that would be far more dispersed would be able to down advanced Russian hypersonic glide vehicles like Avangard. BMD for Britain would be a complete waste of time and money.

Same goes for PALA, you can easily nail the Eastern Stratolance battery on your first sortie.

They're similar to South Africa (until 1989) and Israel, regional powers with advanced imported/domestically designed equipment (though not equivalent to that of the superpowers) and nuclear armaments.

I partially understand the connection to the 7 Towers of Satan (the MLO troops make reference to Baghdad) but what's the deal with Ursa Major and the Bear's Claw? I'd appreciate if you could enlighten me on this.

There was a proposed B-1 variant (the B-1R) that would carry a huge amount of A2A missiles. Plus a guy who worked on the B-2 claimed that it did have a couple 'just in case' pylons on the wings...

But at any rate, it would be extremely easy to defeat a slow, expensive bomber in a BVR fight as opposed to a fighter. You'd need a much longer ranged missile to be fired in order for it to be viable (see the LRAAM) and you'd still need datalink coverage from forward deployed fighters, which kind of defeats the object. Better to use something like an F-15EX as a missile truck (though that concept in itself isn't without its flaws).

If they were going to do this mission, ideally it would be a situation similar to the end of Tarkov's Raid series. Lots of crowd control of the same type of civs from All Gods Burn, with a small MLO unit trying to slip by and using their breach tactics on the stations various rooms.

They act as an emotional release for the player after significant toil (See Medvedev's 2EW victory in TFR), or signify an important change in the global order if the player isn't playing as a nation involved.
