Do we want to make any alterations to the mission plan? Does this flyover give us anything we didn't previously know? I'd maybe suggest adjusting the rules of engagement for the rocket-armed CAS birds - I thought we learned back in Tibet rockets aren't that great against tanks.

Operation Gorgnard-Falafel Ranger has been approved. Stand by for your briefing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fiu3SWNrJgs And some Moto Patches for our pilots. Someone with more talent is welcome to improve them.  1st Fighter Squadron "The Angola Aces"  2nd Fighter Squadron "The Phantom Phlyers" Yooper posted:
Yooper, can you have the SK 60s focus on those fixed sites, instead of on armor or vehicles? Bacarruda fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Apr 29, 2017 |

 SK60B's will be rerouted to softer structures instead of armor.   Delvanios's infantry is pushing up a bit on the edges but seems content to let the Bulgarians punch the hole. Free State is pretty quiet, once again the subreddit has devolved into a waifu pillow discussion. It seems they had a new shipment come in, though I'm not sure what else might have come in at the same time. Jack sent one cryptic text. I'll leave you guys to figure out the meaning. But we might have something exciting on our plate. I think he made a friend.

This is either a Kfir C10 an export version. A version with possibly an AMRAAM knockoff and precision munition. However if we'rt realy unlucky it's a Kfir Block 60 with an improved AESA radar. The Kfir Block 60 flies for both the colombians and gues who.. the bulgarians.

That's a Kfir C.10, you can tell by the enlarged radome for the new radar and I think the IFR probe is unique to the C.10s Edit: it's not a blk60 as they aren't in the database as far as I am aware. Quinntan fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Apr 29, 2017 |

I'm omewhat concerned by the new Air Marshal's 'big ideas'. I don't like surprises unless they're in our favour. Do we have ideas what they might be? Bombing on the mines? Our capital? Hell, rushing our support elements before we have CAP established? We still have eyes on at least one airfield, right? What do they even have left to throw at us at this point?

We don't have any idea of their losses against the free state/SMARF, but they've been pretty goddamn horrific against us. I think they've basically lost a third of their air force at this point, and most of those have been high-value aircraft like Su-27s and a good chunk of their F-16s. Still no sign of their Su-30s though.

It's a PESA, I doubt it's alcohol-cooled. The only things that I can think of that have alcohol-cooled radars are obsolete Soviet interceptors like the MiG-25 Foxbat and Su-15 Flagon, and I'm not entirely sure on the Flagon. Either way, more Meteor bait. Quinntan fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Apr 29, 2017 |

Added Space posted:Why would you design an alcohol cooled anything on a friggin' jet?  In WWII Russian tanks had a battlefield lifespan that was about as long as the alcohol supply of their company. Russian tanks often used methanol as hydraulic fluid, and despite it being poison, when the vodka ran out troops would drain the hydraulic systems to drink the methanol, rendering the tank inoperable.

The radar on an old MiG-25 is loving huge and generates a ton of heat, more than air-cooling systems could deal with. It's also a system that's going to have to be ground serviceable, even on frozen Soviet airbases guarding the Arctic from a B-52 bumrush, and pure alcohol has a very low freezing point. It'd also be really cheap in Russia to get pure alcohol. The hydraulic systems of the Foxbat also use alcohol, again for that very low freezing point and low cost.
