Zebba

Laser designation could make or break a mission.

Now, where are we in the escalation vortex?



We're on the Zebba Axis, shown here in green.

And it's so far away. Like, painfully far.

That's why they'll never expect it !

It's good that they don't have any way to see what's coming from their radar site.

Not if it's a couple dozen dudes in hi-vis vests and hardhats they don't.

I wonder if Zebba could somehow pull off just driving it back...

Yeah, we're asking him if he can hire a bunch of guys, steal a radar, and then drive it back. That'd be one badass CAS-oriented mission, blasting his route open and keeping enemy aircraft and choppers away from him.

We're doing this, or at least we're getting him drunk and asking him if he can do it.

That was really messy, especially the gun runs against the Hinds. I'd expect nothing less from the Slammers.

Oh well, back to the end of the flight line for me.

Desert Dessert

This looks like a good move strategically, and it's a mission that we can't screw up by exploding the wrong thing.

If there is one thing I've learned in my adult life (starting circa 2008), it is that trying to win the arms race between satire and reality is a fool's errand. I've just learned to embrace the farce, and I think that's why the Yooperverse holds so much appeal to me.

Charlie Stross writes a lot of (really good) near-future cybercrime fiction. He keeps having to throw manuscripts out because some rear end in a top hat actually went and did whatever the plot for his current draft calls for. cf. Halting State and Rule 34.

Looks good to me. We're already going to have the Su-24s dicking around over the water, so engaging the helis with their WVR heaters sounds like a good thing to toss in.

No it doesn't. Heater range is close enough you risk giving the helicopters good shots at the planes. Remember all the actual fighters those Hinds shot down when the tried strafing runs ? Su-24s are gonna get toasted if they try the same thing.
