1) If we want to buy Russian airplanes and materiel we can always go through non-Russian channels, such as India, Vietnam, and Peru. 2) gently caress THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT LIKE A BAD YURI ON ICE FANFIC Let's go scratch the Silent Service's back!

Additional point: Our air opposition is non-existent at this moment, and our top-tier A2A stuff is getting thin. do we REALLY want to be dogfighting with the modern Russian planes presumably guarding these ASW birds?

Stago Lego posted:While the loss of a potential seller sucks it isn't as if there aren't enough russian planes available elsewhere. As head of the Gorshkov lobby, I would be most displeased if we no longer have a way to buy one.  I will change my mind if they give us an AEGIS destroyer though.

Lets Not poke the bear., lets try and avoid alienating potential future customers and the guys we are currently leasing a base from. Cobbie's boys may be awesome, but they are few and the Russians are many

Though I have misgivings about us being overworked and possibly having to deal with MiG-31s, poke the bear. Doing a favour for the largest producer of military equipment in the world seems like it'd be a long-term benefit for us.

How about Option C: The Corkscrew Cross We tell the Russians our situation, and our willingness to play ball in exchange for safe passage. If they agree, we pretend to help the US Navy by drawing them out into open waters with false radar readings. We give the Russians the signal and they cut throats, sinking the USN presence. All the while, we move all our poo poo out of the Russian airfield to a neutral country, except... ...the nuke. We blow it and make it look like American retaliation for the USN casualties. We get untangled from both sides in all the chaos, lose the nuke, and secure a clean slate for our next expedition.

They already have ballistic missile radars all over that area, so they'd know if someone launches something.

And then what exactly do we tell the IAEA? "Whoops, we dropped it back into the ocean, our bad"?

Help the Navy, would it be possible to try to fool the russians we are Ned Tugents forces if we paint the planes and use appropriate Callsigns? About Cobbies infantry forces, could they not just occupy the airfield on the island, capture the planes there? In that case, we could use that runway and the captured planes (a few Migs, right?) to get the device and Cobbies troops out. Our three frigs could move up the coast and provide air cover with their Sea Sparrows.

Help the USN We can't keep trying to play all sides forever; future contract opportunities or not, let's get out of this theater alive first while satisfying all of out current obligations before counting lost earnings potential. Besides, we've all played 'Faction Gain' games before, and to get access to the best stuff, we have to max our Rep with one group.

Guys, remember that deal we had with IAEA? The route they asked us to do, which is to deliver the package to Svalbard airfield which would necessitate us having to travel a lot of airspace that the Russians watch like hawks and have a lot of Mig-31s on stand-by.

CourValant posted:Help the USN I'd like to point out that enraging the Russians and shooting whatever they have escorting their ASW is the most hazardous situation for us getting out alive, and possibly invites direct trips from Backfires/cruise missiles directly into Provd. Do you really want to do that?

The route they asked us to do, which is to deliver the package to Svalbard airfield which would necessitate us having to travel a lot of airspace that the Russians watch like hawks and have a lot of Mig-31s on stand-by. We've established we can just reroute to Canada, and if we help out the USN we might be allowed to traverse US airspace to get there, in which case the Russians can't do poo poo to us without having to grapple with US air support. Can we send a gift basket to those Mitsu/Hashi (delete as apropos) guys who turned on their buddies who we accidentally fired upon? 'Sorry for the friendly fire?' I mean, it was an accident, right? Maybe try and cooperate on SAR? Who knows, maybe some will hop the fence and join our team.

As much as I want us to buy more Soviet crap, I gotta go with Poke the Bear. Maybe the USN will give us some secretly mothballed A-6 Intruders in exchange for the help?

I want non-US gear but it seems like selling out the USN Isn't the way to do it. Poke the Bear and maybe we can wrangle an surplus Arleigh Burke out of it.

Next theatre of operations we need to haggle for/secure salvage rights with our employer. If future ops go the way of Poor Life Choices, we'll need every flyable piece of craft we can find in order to stem the bleeding at the very least.

Wow. Huge dent in our physical assets and human resources this time around. That bank balance will definitely help recoup our losses though. Providing, of course, we can get this bitch out of this frozen shithole without it A: going off, or B: getting us all killed. Also

I don't think A is going to be a problem; nukes don't just accidentally 'go off'; the bigger issue is the current radioactivity. Functioning nukes don't emit harmful radiation, to the point where people can get sick from being in its proximity. The fact those Hippies have radiation poisoning means a) Cobbie and crew need protective suits (or a lead-lined crate for the thing) and b) the device's 'casing' is cracked, meaning the nuke won't 'detonate' properly.

So Cobbie and friends will be able to write a glowing account of their escapades for their AAR Who knows, maybe it could be leveraged into a hot property for Hollywood. Cobbie should paint "gone fission" on the transpo. ok I'll stop now

None of those puns is rad enough to justify joking about such serious matters. Also it's been a while since aI checked in on this lp. So...we're stealing nukes, getting killed in droves, and possibly picking a fight with another superpower for not-really-any-good-reason? This has finally become the outfit I knew we always would become.
