 Colonel Tomas "Shan" Rivera Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana Vice Commander of the CACC ATTENTION PILOTS: SPRINGFIELD is now assigned to a STRIKE mission as follows.  NOTE: These paths are to communicate intent and are not to be considered flight plans. Flight plans are to be developed and set by Flight Leads. -SPRINGFIELD in white -VIPER 1 in GREEN -PANTHER 1 in GOLD Springfield is to enter AO BOLT with VIPER 1 and PANTHER 1. SPRINGFIELD is to wait with PANTHER 1 until VIPER 1 gives the GO then procede to strike targets "Chile AO BOLT - Bridge 1" and "Chile AO BOLT- Bridge 2"  Due to limitations of the airframe, and precision weapon stores, this is to be carried out with dumb bombs and your unbridled passion for success. Threats around the target are expected to be minimal, but care should be taken to avoid areas of concentrated hostile activity. OPTIONAL TARGET: If SPRINGFIELD completes the primary objectives with weapon stores remaining, they have the option to continue on and hit the former allied FORWARD SUPPLY POINT at LOS COIPOS at their discretion. WARNING: The site appears to have been co-opted by hostile forces for their own use. There is no knowledge about the state of defences for the site but MANPADS and maybe SHORAD are considered possible. UPDATE for VIPER 1 and PANTHER 1 Intelligence updates have shown the bridge laying operations to have been cancelled. As a result this aspect of the mission is no longer required. If feel confident in success and have the required stores, you may also perform a strike upon the LOS COIPOS FORWARD SUPPY POINT at your discretion. REMINDER TO ALL: The AIR OPERATIONS Layer on the GAME MAP has been updated to reflect the new mission. -Col. Tomas Rivera, FAE, T.C.

Let’s talk about SMART objectives. Leadership in this war needs to promulgate between 2 and 6 SMART objectives to drive all the other planning. An objective is a Flexible, High level action statement that specifies what our operations should do to accomplish defined problems. It reflects the priorities of high command and our political leaders. S – Specific. Both the verb, and the object of the verb should be specific. Example: Stop the enemy vs Destroy that armored battalion. M - Measurable in amount and area. Example: Destroy that armored battalion vs Degrade that armored battalion by 50% A – Action oriented (sometimes Attainable). These should be doing something about the problem. Should someone be researching 5th generation fighters. Absolutely. Does that solve our problem today? No. R – Realistic. Can it be done? With the resources we have? A great objective would be to drive the PLA off South America, but a better one would be to drive them off a small, attainable portion. T – Time specific. Degrade that armored battalion by 50% vs. Degrade that armored battalion by 50% over the next two sorties/over the next 12 hours/before they reach the bridge/etc. These simply need to be in textual form and should be professional rather than conversational (though I can tweak for that). Some real world examples: quote:Operations Section ensures a comprehensive medical assessment is completed on each subject to the NASAR Search and Rescue Technician Level 2 or higher, including referral to higher care within 5 minutes of discovery. quote:Operations Section assigns appropriate resources to the identified search areas, and those searches are briefed, conducted, and debriefed in accordance with NASAR standards before ENDEX.

 General of the Combined Armies, CSAD Medical supplies and Staff Buen Día everyone. I appreciate all your support and hard work to keep our troops fighting and resisting the Occupiers. The heavy fighting in the recent days has caused an increase in casualties, and as a result we need to establish some designated medical centers. My medical staff have identified locations on both sides of the theatre that can support a division level Role 3 Medical center. The problem is that we don't have enough staff specialized in treating the kinds of acute trauma and other wounds you see on the battlefield locally, or the supplies to get them providing the best possible level of care. Please refer to the two designated locations attached. 24th Mech Inf Regt. Medical facility, Rio Gallagos  -51.6382296, -69.2302702 Hospital de Puerto Natales  -51.7291972, -72.4807502 To address the staffing and supply issue, I have to offer my thanks to the Santa Casa da Misericórdia foundation in Brazil for the support they have offered. They have collected donations of medical supplies from their facilities across the country, and consolidated them at the Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre hospital. They also put out a volunteer call across South America for doctors, surgeons, nurses, and other medical specialists who wish to contribute to the war effort through their talents, and paid for their tickets to Porto Alegre. I have been informed that their supplies have been palletized, the volunteer staff are ready, and that all we need is a large jumbojet charter flight from Porto Alegre to the front line to get our Role 3 medical centers open. Half of the supplies and passengers are to disembark in Rio Gallagos, and the other half are to disembark in Puerto Natales. I leave the details of arranging these flights to our Air Mobility Officer Crab. Seamos libres, que lo demás no importa nada! General Humberto, EA

 Admiral Ileana Maria Sampaio South American Combined Armada Now hear this: In the naval aviation tradition, there are a great number of customs and rites of passage handed down from our fellows and which honor our shared heritage. However, few are as beloved as that of the MUTHA. It is a glass-encased Japanese animal figure, or Tanuki, with a hideous face and eyes that constantly flash. At her side, a baby sports an oversized set of testicles. The MUTHA may only be a small Shigaraki raccoon figurine, but it has traveled the globe and into outer space, been carried proudly by naval aviators for decades, and actively fought over by some of the best pilots in the world. It is a trophy that has come to stand for aviation excellence, leadership, and fighting spirit.    With this heritage in mind, I am now instituting a weekly challenge competition for our naval aviation pilots. After each mission, one aviator may be awarded the privilege of safekeeping our own MUTHA figurine (whose origin remains a fiercely-kept secret). The principal metric for selecting this honored pilot shall be success during take-offs and landings from our carriers, as judged by the onboard Landing Signal Officer (LSO) or "paddles", as well as other feats of prowess as judged by the squadron as a whole. LSO grades shall be recorded on the "Greenie" Board for each carrier.   Recipients shall be encouraged but not required to display the MUTHA statue whenever appropriate that week, such as by appending the  emoticon to their posts, or temporarily adding the :raccoon: emoticon to their Airgoons channel Discord name. It is my hope that the continuation of this tradition by our Argentinean and Brazilian aviators shall encourage espirit de corps and the same tradition of excellence as that of our partners in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.That is all.  «Irse a pique antes que rendir el pabellón!«  US Navy History / Background Supplemental posted:"MUTHA" has been a long-standing and rich tradition in Naval Aviation, and its chapter with the Tomcat Community is about to close. For the uninitiated, the term "MUTHA" represents a beautiful and revered status or trophy, held by the squadron which displays the best of those subjective qualities labeled as "Fighter Spirit." It also applies to the FRS Skipper, of the Squadron from which all aircrew learn how to master Carrier Strike-Fighter Aviation and the Fine Arts of wreaking havoc upon our nation's enemies.

Goons, behold the full power of my operational planning abilities (on a volunteer basis, for fun, when I'm not working) Incident Action Plan 3 (though it's the first one, it would be 3 given the operational period). I'd love to hash out objectives, a safety brief, and maybe not have flight briefs come in so late for the next one.

No screenshots available. ------------------------------------------------------ Air situation: 6x J-7s, the whole enemy BARCAP, destroyed. Friendly losses, 1x MiG-29, shot down near Punta Arenas, ejected over gray part of frontline. 1x M2000C, shot down west of glacier, ejected over small archipelago islands. Will need to swim or get picked up. Damaged: 2x Mirage F1 returned to Rio Gallegos with battle damage. -------------------------------------------------- Target sites: AO Arrow: Bridge A1: Undamaged Bridge A3: Destroyed Briddge A4: Destroyed The BSA HQ-7 site: undamaged The BSA itself: degraded, with command tents and fuel depots struck by rockets. Disruption to services. Enemy tube artillery ruined by Astros II battery fire mission. Overall game result on this AO: Due to BSA and bridges degraded, the PLAGF advance will slow down even more and they are unlikely to initiate a major push in the next 50-70 hours. --------------------------------- AO BOLT: Bridge B1: Destroyed Bridge B2: Destroyed No other known damage, minor injuries to troops crossing bridge. Few trucks lost. Result gamewise: not a significant effect on enemy supplies or movement, but will slow them down some. PLAGF is not in contact with BLUFOR on this front at this moment, as the blue forces retreated faster than the enemy advance. PLAGF will move bridge laying units forward. ------------------------ Friendly Radar Site at Glacier: Resupplied with food and water, one Roland SAM-system, tracked, dropped. PLAGF, degraded, rockets landed into munitions depot and tents. ----------------------- PLAN Type 054 Frigate in the fjord, sunk.  ----------------------- Two Argentine Fleet picket corvettes SE of the main fleet sunk by enemy frigates pushing forward. ---------------------- Enemy H-6 bombers fired cruise missiles that struck Puerto Natales airport. No friendly aircraft losses, but few buildings destroyed and fire under control by the fire brigade. On return the MiGs saw this:  Plane status updated for Air Force:  Vahakyla fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Oct 29, 2023 |

  CSAD Command, I have two major updates for you: 1. Attached you will find satellite photos to confirm the location of the BSA previously suspected based on signals intelligence. It is at roughly 53°21'20.52"S, 69°15'51.11"W. This location has been doing final refit and staging for units unloading at Rio Grande before pushing them to the front line, supporting front line operations with logistical convoys, and accepting units for field repair. Circled below is a probable SA-11. Based on upcoming ISR availability, I do not expect we will get another picture of this site before your next major operation. It is unlikely that the entire site will move in the next 48-72 hours, but individual units and defenses may relocate, especially in light of your recent efforts to strike their SAMs and other critical enablers.   2. We detected the a surface action group departing Port Stanley and headed in the general direction of Puerto San Julian. It is likely that this SAG seeks to conduct anti-shipping operations and cruise missile strikes and then withdraw. USSOUTHCOM already has a small Marine Air Traffic Control team with some maintainers established in Brasilia Air Force Base, which up to this point have been assisting with humanitarian assistance and downloading the military aid already pledged. In order to maintain freedom of manevuer for your merchant marine and deter PLAN ships encroaching farther north, USSOUTHCOM has access to 2x USMC F/A-18C Block 20s in order to conduct an anti-shipping strike. We understand that your naval forces are at numerical and technological disadvantage, so we are doing what we can to ensure that you are still able to ship supplies along your coast with some level of acceptable risk. The SAG consists, at minimum, of 1x Type 52 DDG, 1x Grisha, 1x fueler, and at least one more unidentified ship. The F/A-18s will fly from Brasilia AFB, refuel, and join your AO to strike the DDG. In order to execute this mission, they will require CAP escort to the target area, which is to be determined. I expect the engagement will be at sea and out of visual range of the coast. We will not object if CSAD forces engage the rest of the SAG once the DDG is destroyed. The F/A-18s will be loaded with fuel and Harpoons and little else, so escort is a must. Upon completion of the mission, they will conduct aerial refueling and RTB. I cannot promise that we will often get much access to aircraft, but when able, we are seeking options to support your operations with US fighter, strike, and bomber support.

  TO: General Humberto FROM: Calama Air Defence Branch, Ejército de Chile General, The Army Depot at Calama, Antofagasta, has refitted a battery of four MIM-72/M48 Chaparrals and their support vehicles. There is no command unit, but each tracked launcher comes with three 5-ton trucks for replenishment missiles and spare parts. We currently do not have capability to transport them besides a local delivery on a Heavy Equipment Transporter from the Army Depot to the airport or the port some 65 miles away. They are available immediately.

UZI Flight (Singleton) AAR:  What was supposed to happen: Bomb (single) and 38x rockets against a target labeled as a Brigade Support Area (BSA). What did happen: Made a weather and air defense call not to try to pop up and dive-bomb with a 2,000 pound bomb. Too much risk of high winds blowing it off target, blowing myself up, or eating a SAM or AAA fire while popping up or diving down. Fired 76x Rockets against the target area, which looks to have been a forward support company or something smaller than a BSA. While I expected soft-skin vehicles for a supply point, most of the vehicles were main battle tanks, so a mix of HE and HEAT Hydras aren't the best weapon for that kind of heavy target, but maybe some sights, dismounted crew, tracks, etc were damaged. Estimate of damage is "moderate." There were some tents and stores, many of which went untouched (DCS-ism - Live units have dots to help you pick them out on a computer monitor, and static tents and the like do not. So by the time I picked those up, I was hard committed to a run against vehicles staged for repair/refueling and a communications tower). However, I damaged several vehicles, one exploded as I egressed, multiple rockets impacted the communications tower, and multiple rockets impacted the buildings behind the vehicles, which are certainly being used by the enemy for logistical stores and bedding down. What went well: 1. Did not die. 2. Comms were clear from Buzzard on when I could ingress, Venom 2 was informative over comms, so that my very low-SA aircraft had a bit more SA before I committed. 3. Map recon and TACAN navigation paid off, as the view out the cockpit was almost exactly as expected when I dropped through the clouds around 8,500 feet and transitioned to approaching along the coastline at 100 feet. 4. Maintained decent safety flare programs for duration of time over enemy forces, kept up a gentle weave, which so far is enough to throw off HQ-7s. What could have gone better: 1. Aim with rockets can always be more precise, and maybe I could have picked out the tents more clearly if I was paying more attention to seeing the whole scene and not distracted by the vehicles and giant comm tower. 2. I approached with intent to egress east, in a left-hand turn to avoid flying behind the enemy combat lines for longer than necessary. Once I lined up, I broke right to avoid the tower, flying me west past more enemy units. None of them hit me, but they engaged with MG fire, and if there had been a properly dangerous air defense unit present, it might have killed me. I stayed clear of the enemy artillery site, which was known to have radar-sighted AAA. 3. It wasn't freezing at sea level, but my pitot started to freeze up as I was orbiting and waiting to attack. Easy fix to turn on the heater, but I could've avoided seeing my airspeed mysteriously appear to drop despite flying level if I just set the plane for the weather conditions ahead of time. Would have been rather confusing if it froze as I was committed to a dive bomb or rocket attack. Overall: Successful mission, probably moderate or light damage, no loss or significant damage to my aircraft (heard one single "thunk" of MG fire, never found a spot of even cosmetic damage on the airplane though) Holding above the weather until CAP/SEAD in place.  After descending through the clouds using BULLS TACAN ref, pretty much on azimuth, just had to slide a little left and then take handrail the coastline on my right to get to target.  Rocket run replay:  This is why pilots say "I killed like everyone" even though a lot of that armor might not be so hurt.  HQ-7 either missed due to gentle jinks or I may have broken line of sight by this point. Missiles appeared dumb as they passed in front of me (but the sonic booms are exciting!) If you fly dead straight, they will kill you, but seem thrown by even gentle maneuvering you'd use to throw off AAA and MG gunners.  Headed home. Pretty dope view of the high ridgeline on the north side of the Strait of Magellan, marking relative safety and friendly dirt. it's a significant bluff, about 1,100 feet ground elevation.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-YqvcSGNPs mlmp08 fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Oct 29, 2023 |

[ TO: Admiral Sampaio, ARA From: 2da Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque, ARA Admiral, we are pleased to report that the 2nd Naval Fighter-Bomber squadron has managed to fix some of our Super Etendards. As you know, the downsizing was rough and most of them have been cannibalized, but we currently can declare to have total of ten Super Etendards here. Out of those, 4 are essentially ruined, and 4 more are currently NMC. Thus, two are flyable and mission capable as of 19th FEB. They are not carrier capable in the current shape, and are confined to hard surface runways. In better news, we received news that there's 15 Exocet missiles available at the Brazilian navy base at Itaguai, Brazil. If you organize a charter for them to Puerto San Julian, either by ship or by air, we can mount them right away.   ----------------------------------------------- There's only a really lovely mod of the Super Etendard in DCS. Thus, our surrogate will be the AJ-37 Viggen. While this model was never exported, capability wise it is fairly close to the Super Etendard, and its RB-15F missile is also very close to the Exocet.

 ALERT ALERT ALERT Cruise missiles have hit the airport of Rio Gallegos, SAWG. Four missiles were detected, and two were shot down. One by NASAMS south of the airport, the second one by ARA Intrépida sitting in the harbor. The airport has hardened bunkers and revetments, so damage is light. One damaged C-130, and two destroyed F-5 fighters. The other F-5 was the one that was landed on a road in a prior operation by Uzi 1-1 and was just trucked back here.  -------------------------------------------  Cargo Ship Sierra that came from Brazil to Rio Gallegos and dropped off Astros II battery departed for Brazil. At around 2000hrs local time on the 20th Feb, it broadcast a distress signal from S 50.52931, W 66.81815. It reports a big explosion aboard and smoke and fire. It is requesting help from the nearby warships.

Update to Topic 2. We were able to type the DDG emitter as they established an air defense posture post-strike on Gallegos and probable sinking of the Cargo Ship Sierra. SAG composition: 1x Type 52B DDG. 1x Grisha Class Corvette 2x Unknown, likely corvette class. The oiler and 1x Grisha escort appear to have broken east shortly before the strike, though imagery is poor. It looks like these two two ships are making speed out of the area to avoid any potential counter-attacks. We see no indication of a permanent CAP over the SAG, but some of the J-11 CAPs out of the Falklands have trended further north, possibly to be on call in case required to support the SAG.

We proceeded until about 20nm from Glacier at which point Condor gave us an update that their CAP had turned hot on us. Due to proximity of the enemy frigate, we opted to turn West back towards Lanus and drag them about 30nm clear of the frigates max range, once we were confident they were out of cover we turned to engage. I advised the flight that I would be looking to grab the lead bandit, and that 2-2 & 2-3 should grab the trail. 2-2 was the first to launch on his target, and my shot was shortly after. During the closure 2-2 had gotten slightly ahead of me and it transpired that I had inadventantly grabbed the rear bandit, meaning the enemy fighters were about 10nm closer than we thought. 2-2 was hit and although we didn't see a chute we've been informed the pilot survived his plunge to the Fjord below, his write up will surely follow. I saw the lead bandit who killed 2-2, but couldn't turn to engage without breaking my missile lock and so tried to maintain visual while keeping my target in gimbal for terminal guidance. Once I had confirmed I'd killed the wingman, I turned to engage the lead where I saw a subsequent explosion, and was warmed to hear 2-3 claim the kill. Engagement as recorded from 1-1's perspective (skip to 34:10 if it doesn't automatically) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUoViHf6E5I&t=2050s We reformed and resumed our TARCAP, where things remained uneventful until the server [REDACTED] -- What went well?
What could have gone better?

Yooper posted:PANTHER 2 Took after after Venom, flew up to 3k ft at MIL, followed by a light AB up to ~29k ft. Then slowly up to 31k ft. Flight moved to WP3, got the all clear and fenced into target. All JDAM's dropped, but unable to BDA due to cloud cover. 2-2 was unsure if the drop went properly due to an FCR issue. What worked Flight went up in good order without much issue. The Condition calls seemed to work well, though I still had to listen in for Venom's call. All flight members did well in prosecuting targets with JDAM's. What Didn't I went up and didn't maintain a tight and cohesive flight. My throttle had some stickiness but I could have just had everyone form up at the higher speed.

Supply bases are moved, they are currently being stood up. -----------------  As for the Rio Turbio railway, the local police have located six locomotive engineers who used to work on the line. They're being brought to the terminal right now. You will have access to two trains transporting supplies. Most of the locomotives have been taken by time and put into poor shape. However, you have two locomotives available after minor repairs. Locomotive 117:  Locomotive 001:  The runner up is Locomotive 120, but it seems rough.  The remaining, 102, 101, 112, 118, 111, 114 & 103, are unlikely to offer much help.  Some light reading on the old rail line: https://www.martynbane.co.uk/modernsteam/ldp/rfirt/rfirt.htm

A small notebook gets tossed to Ponitac 2-1, with a post-it note on the cover; "Still alive, will make a proper AAR once they let my frostbitten rear end out of the hospital. Hope you're still alive, did not like this 30 klick hike. Lumme." The notebook contains a few pages of timed notes starting from almost legible handwriting, progressing to illegible, and a ripped of piece of map. In case this notebook is found on a corpse, please return to Peruvian Air Force 412th squadron, should save them time figuring out my latest gently caress up. besides, gives me something to vent frustrations on when taking breaks on this lovely hike. 2010/02/19 08:49 Got shot down by a MIG-21 about 40 minutes ago, splashed down in the norther channel between what I believe to be Isla Santa Inés and Isla Peralta, swam to norther shore. Emergency radio is gone, so no ability to call assistance, and Almighty knows what’s happening in the air. Probably best to head towards our special forces on Glaciar Vasquez, starting to NW. 09:22 loving compass had flipped polarity, was in reality on Isla Peralta, did someone store this thing next to a damned CRT? Heading east (actually this time) to a narrow point between the islands, gently caress swimming. At least it isn’t raining anymore. 11:15 Over on Isla Santa Inés finally, swimming is for madmen. Heading towards the glacier, hopefully the map is not hiding some terrible fields of rocks along the way. And I certainly hope that the temperatures don’t rise too much by then, walking on the glacier is going to be bad enough without meltwater and soft snow. 14:57 That ridgeline sure doesn’t look inviting, wish I had crampons. ??:??, 17 something I guess? Well, I’m over the ridge and on the glacier, too bad I (and the watch) got bit wrecked sliding down, at least nothing is broken, probably. But hey, if the coroner asks WTF with all the bruises you can point to this. ??:?? gently caress it’s dark, cold and the loving boots were not made for this. ??:?? I sure hope I’m just seeing things up here from the exhaustion, otherwise I’d swear I saw moving dots against the blue of the snow. Hope I don’t run into any PLA stragglers. Are there wolves on these islands? 2010/02/20 20:17 Can’t believe MRE:s can taste so good and a lovely sleeping bag feel so warm. I did run into a patrol from the radar, after somehow spending somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 hours on some 10 kilometers of glacier. Good thing I had the IR light on for them to spot, otherwise I’d probably continued to the other side of the glacier in a trance. Not going to ask what was in those energy tablets in the survival ration. Getting a helo ride somewhere to be checked up, probably for the best, some body parts look unhealthily white. Sending this over to El Turbino along with a scribbled on map, rest of Pontiac can get a good laugh at my expense.  Next time I'll just write a bone-dry AAR, I should never be let close to any kind of creative thing.

General Carlos, The Dutch containerized housing units are arriving aboard the cargo ship MV Netherlands. The vessel is some 50 nautical miles away from Puerto San Julian. It has 200 standard sea can container sized housing units that has been contracted for the refugee crisis of both Magellanes and Malvinas refugees that are in Puerto Natales. The containers are currently meant to be brought into Puerto Natales. Dilemma Do you want it to sail to Rio Gallegos harbor, closer to the hostile ships? OR Do you want it to sail to Puerto San Julian harbor? In any case, you need to organize the containers into Puerto Natales if they are to go to their intended destination. How will you get 200 containers to make that trip?  --------------- Admiral Sampaio, They are currently sailing together with Supply Fleet East.

  Supremo Comandante SCAD General del Aire Carlos - FAP Camaradas, you're all doing great but we still got much to do. The PLAGF has been slowed down and we got some breathing room to deal with another urgent matter. Our bases have been attacked by cruise missiles and the cargo ship that brought us the Astros missile battery is also under attack. Time to focus on the sea this time. Stop PLAN offensive operations on the South Atlantic ocean around CESAR and neutralize cruise missile launches using our naval fleets and anti-ship weaponry from the ground and air. We need to keep our bases and supply route safe from further attacks. Vahakyla posted:Do you want it to sail to Rio Gallegos harbor, closer to the hostile ships? I'd like to see that ship unloading at Gallegos under the protection of the Brazilian Navy fleet. I believe we can use the Rio Turbio railroad to the homonymous town and have some trucks to take them to Puerto Natales but I heard some people got some additional ideas about this and we shall hear it soon. As always, open to suggestions.  Arriba, siempre arriba Negostrike fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Oct 31, 2023 |
