  We've got two Rafale C's that are going to embark on missions at the same time we do. If she dies in a fiery ball then we'll hire Zack. Mission details to come later this evening. I will have a planning scenario, but I'm still working on it.

This is a great thread. I'd like to sign up as a pilot, call sign Swan. Ground attack preferably, pilot or co-pilot I don't mind. Hell strap me to a wing strut with a bag of bricks to throw a people as long as I get air time.

Ahem. So, say we win. This hippie we're supporting doesnt have guns. So ... lets talk about having him sign off the mineral rights. KKR is one of the largest lithium companies, I bet if we ... encouraged ... our boss to sign the rights to them, we could pocket a few billion. Edit: fun trivia fact! KKR own(ed) Nabisco, who owns Oreo. Maybe we can be the official team of the oreo cookie

I'm glad we went with Rohan in the end I would hate to think of the state she would end up in after having India turn it's back on her we then did the same. Also what's with the sudden hard on for drones from everyone? We did okay with our AWAC plane and intel from our employer against China and now we are up against some third rate dictator and you all want the flashiest toys. On another note Yooper any chance I could be swapped to a fighter plane and fly wing man for Rohan I really want her to live.?

We did okay with our AWAC plane and intel from our employer against China and now we are up against some third rate dictator and you all want the flashiest toys. Intelligence is crucial to modern air combat operations. The intelligence we received from the Indians for our three missions there basically was two things. 1) there's a couple of ships with guns coming and 2) we think ye're about to get nuked. When we are performing close air support actions for the Count's forces once they are in contact with enemies, we need to be able to identify precisely where the enemy is, and having live video feeds from drones helps in that. When performing interdiction actions against enemies not yet at the front, drone imagery is an important tool not only to figure out where the enemy is, but also where they are going. We could have had relayed that data to the Count, enabling him to better target weak points in the enemy's lines and breach them. Instead, we've a pair of AWOL pilots, one of which has probably been hitting the rum and cokes pretty hard since her entire squadron got wiped out in one engagement only for the mercenaries to steal the glory, who we only have the most indirect of control of, and we paid six million for the privilege. This is going to bite us in the rear end, I fear.

Yeah, hopefully fighting for a righteous cause will give her some measure of peace. I think people got worried she's going to cross the line and that would then reflect on us. Also the siren song of drones is somewhat tempting, especially after the somewhat wanting intel we got in Tibet. We got our drones, though, didn't we? So I think we can handle that ourselves. On the bright side, we can hire Zack for the next op instead. Assuming the Irish Mafia don't take his thumbs, first. While I accept that she's going to be doing her own thing when it comes to mission selection, can we hopefully get some measure of coordination between us? Making sure we don't trip over each other seems like the bare minimum we should try to accomplish. We could also loan her support from any of our birds that we're not using for our own operations/holding in reserve - although obviously making sure that they stick to our own rules of engagement. Hopefully that'll help foster greater cooperation. Actually we should also check in with the Count's own airforce, too. They're pretty beat up, to be sure, but working relationships are good to have. Actually, maybe we should codify our rules of engagement sooner rather than later... Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Apr 20, 2017 |

So, what are the costs of all the new weapons we have access to? I mostly want to know about Hellfires, SDBs, HARMs, and the Taurus KEPD. Although I am curious about pretty much everything else. GBU-10s, GBU-24s, Vikhrs, AMRAAM-Bs, etc.

My ideal is getting paid to secure the nation, then getting a commission to sell the mineral rights, all legal like. Dont need to stick around and play nationstates, just provide the facade of legitimacy to one of the megacorps.

Or one of what I'm sure are any number of similarly spec'ed models. I'd expect one of these to be on the market somewhere by now, and they shouldn't be terribly expensive without the accompanying TELs and fire control systems, especially as you don't technically need the search radar to operate one of those systems, it just makes it easier. For reference, the S100B's search radar has a range of 350nm. In practice its radar is far more useful as while in the air you don't have as much issue with line of sight obstructions, but we can't keep that thing airborne 24/7. This would make sneaking up on us nearly impossible without having to first blow up said radar which would probably let us know to get our poo poo together immediately before whatever is in wave two shows up.

What about trying to capture one or two of those radar sites on the border? It really depends on what the situation on the ground looks like, but if we could take the Dictator's radar sites intact instead of blowing them up it would be a huge advantage.
