War on Sino [Archive]

The ARSB has officially announced its intention to enter this conflict on the side of Buechoria unless the parties involved agree to some sort of truce, of which we would be willing to be mediator... The choice is yours...
-----------

Setting sail for the region is the 2nd Battle Fleet and three expeditionary fleets (ship strengths and what not will be posted later on, if they're used).

Eight airborne assault divisions, five airborne armor divisions, three marine divisions, six infantry divisions, and two armored corps are being alerted for possible deployment. Also, the 1st and 6th air forces are being alerted for possible deployment.
*Again, numbers to be posted later on*

Currently...

48 DP-21 EW and long-range interceptors are heading for the conflict area, they're armed with eight of the CFAM XRAAM long-range air to air missiles with a range of just under 200 miles.

Along with the DP-21As are about sixty F-87 Zvezda high-performance multi-role aircraft armed for air to air combat. Along with those is another forty F-57A Molniya air superiority fighters. Two CL-19 airborne radar and command and control aircraft follow behind with some of the F-87s as cover. Tankers refuel the aircraft on their way.

------------

Meanwhile, a forward airborne combat engineer brigade, air defense brigade, and infantry assault brigade land within Buechoria... By the end of the day, a base is set up with extensive air defenses, provided by two mobile radars, sixteen deployable SAM systems, nearly thirty SIV-21 air defense units, twenty Tunguska T22MB, and twenty Shilka air defense units. Another four hundred men are trained to use MANPAD weapons. Land defense is provided by sixteen hundred infantry, two hundred MMPWV-03s with either MGs or ATGMs, two hundred SIV-21s, one hundred T-05As, forty T-04Bs, forty FCT-17s, sixty SAH-17s and numerous support units. Naval protection is currently non-existant, although four seperate fleets are heading towards the location to change that.

Two rough runways were built at the site although Buechoria stated that our aircraft can use their runways and air bases. Any airbase that our aircraft land at will be heavily defended by so much anti-aircraft artillery and missiles that it'd be suicide for anything to get within a hundred miles.

By the end of the week (when the aircraft noted above were actually launched), the aircraft have landed at the current ARSB base and at nearby Buechorian air bases which are now heavily defended by ARSB assets. (assuming you would not engage since we stated our initial diplomatic intentions [ROE])

The ARSB will not hesitate to mobilize its military to take immediate and overwhelming action on the opposing force if the need ever arises.

OOC: technically your not supposed to post my losses but i'll let you get away with it that time since you didn't godmod some huge number.

20 F-40s reroute to intercept incoming fighters at 150 miles out they each launch 3 Long Range A to A missiles mach 5+ missiles.

F-42s begin launcing anti rad missiles(radar targeters) to destroy the AA baterries 30 are launched in total as the rest of the fighters take evasive manuervs

Jordaxia

12-06-2004, 05:24

The Jordaxian GIE supports the ARSB, and will deploy the first Ekranofleet to assist in any way possible.

The first Ekranofleet consists of
4 Tartaros class Battleplans
12 Orca class Ekranofrigates
2 Pelican w/ floatation
150 Harpy class Antishipping WiG fighters.
10 Hippocampus ASW frigates.

More may be called in as necessary. They will be controlled by ARSB upon reaching rendezvous with his naval support.

OOC: soviet bloc how do u intend to land that division? You realize that flight of transports would be engaged immediately.

Soviet Bloc

12-06-2004, 05:38

OOC- It ain't quite a division. And it poses a minimal threat to your operations... Anyways, you never quite stated you had the country surrounded with ships or aircraft or whatever to engage them... And you're currently engaged in combat with Buechorian aircraft, meaning you'd have to scramble other aircraft (or just have your current aircraft turn around to engage ours, only to get shot down by his [you're better off engaging his]) and then state they're flying to engage us, and by that time our forces have already landed and you're aircraft are about to receive a few missiles rammed down their air intakes courtesy of our air defenses and aerial escorts. Its all about timing, not every inch of airspace is covered all the time in a conflict, and commanders utilize that occurence to drop in troops. I took that to my advantage and landed troops.

If you still don't think its possible, then have you're aircraft engage mine. They aren't going to last long, especially against the sheer numbers of our aircraft and the fact you're fighting over Buechoria, which I'm sure, has a very active air defense network (as seen in action taking out one of your fighters).

Buechoria

12-06-2004, 05:38

OOC: I can open fire and defend them as they land. I have a missile defense system, remember?

12-06-2004, 05:53

OOC- Fine... I'm not one to spend fourteen-hundred posts arguing about this, so I'll give you a chance to engage them. Have fun... Remember, you brought this upon yourself...

Six DP-21B Electronic Warfare and Long range interceptor aircraft flew lead, their powerful radars with a range of about 400 miles penetrated the air ahead, their integrated systems gave them full access to the ARSB satellite network, so they could effectively see anything with the advanced thermal, air wake, visual, and radar systems based on the ARSB satellite system, meaning Belem's aircraft were in full view to them.

The pilots and electronics officers stared at their radar and satellite uplink screens... They initiated their extensive electronics suite, scrambling the radar of the Belem fighters, now they were free to engage... They weren't sure at how many Belem fighters ther were, but they didn't have to know, the missiles would figure it out themselves... At 191 miles out, out of their radar range (it wouldn't matter anyways, it was jammed), the six DP-21s each fired two CFAM XRAAMs which rocketed into the icy air, vapor trails following the white missiles as they flew towards their targets... The Belem fighters, well, at least twelve of them, had no chance, as the missiles used a primary radar system to find and locate the target... If the Belem fighters had EW and confused the radar, it could resort to using radar updates from its mother aircraft, the DP-21. If that didn't work, it could resort to an infrared system. You couldn't confuse this missile, and the Belem fighters wouldn't know it was coming until they could see its vapor trail...

After the missiles were launched and the rest of the aircraft were notified, F-87 Zvezdas slowed down to protect the transports... All sixty of them.

Twenty F-57A Molniya air superiority fighters flew open throttle towards the left-overBelem fighters, taking advantage of the fact that their radar was disabled due to multi/ever-changing frequency radar jamming. (I'll wait before I engage with these). Two DP-21s followed in close behind to provide EW while twelve F-87A Zvezda's lagged behind in case they were needed. Belem's radar guided missiles were almost useless as the F-57As had extensive anti-radar guided missile technology and not to mention most radar frequencies were jammed, excluding the ones that the ARSB aircraft were on, which could be changed if they needed.

The DP-21s that fired the initial volley armed two more missiles each in the event they were needed again... Although it was doubtful...

OOC2- There... No problems with that.

Buechoria

12-06-2004, 06:01

The retrofitted military of Buechoria was rought on so quickly, it shocked many. V-22 Ospreys did short range recon, detecting fighters for SAM sites. T-90's patrolled outside of cities to ensure no invasion forced arrived and took the area. Soldiers equipped with AKS-74U's kept a vigilant eye oin the sfaety of every citizen. Buechoria was prepared for all out war....

OOC1- I had a much nicer post than this... But I kept getting 'Invalid Session' and my copy and paste wouldn't work and I had to start over, dammit.

Premier Chlevenkov sent a simple transmission to the men and women aboard the Admiral Polvchenkov, a Razor-class carrier, the flagship of the 2nd Battle Fleet. It read: "Fuck Diplomacy." Hell was about to break loose on one of Belem's "Imperial Fleets."

Fifteen minutes after that, thirty-six DP-21Gs outfitted with six (6) Yakhont-3 anti-shipping missiles each took off from the decks of their respective carriers. As they went airborne, they were followed by another twenty DP-21Bs and twenty F-57A Molniya's for escorts. The DP-21Bs acted as electronic warfare and countermeasures, jamming whatever radar was a threat to them, including the ship's radar (if it even had the range to where the DP-21Gs would fire their missiles from) and aircraft's radars... This massive air assault on one of the Belem imperial fleets would begin with a clandestine strike by six F-225A stealth precision bombers on the opposite side of the fleet. They would take off from the Yterovsky, an Adm. Vinogradov-class medium carrier, the flagship of the 3rd Expeditionary Fleet. After this initial strike, the 36 DP-21Gs would follow up, then be followed by 22 more DP-21Gs, then a final group of 24 would finish them off.

The six F-225A Kestrils flew just three hundred feet above the waves as they cruised along, enjoying their stealth abilities... At a range of 387 nautical miles, they released their deadly cargo. Seventy-two (72) Yakhont-3 anti-shipping missiles screamed through the sky at Mach 3.5. Within minutes they would enter their kill stage and strike the ships they were targeted at at a height of 5 to 15 meters. Most of these were targeted towards the Intrepid-class carriers, the AA and ASW ships, and the Fiery Avenger (?)class missile boats... If any aircraft were to chase them, four F-57As would intercept them as well as two DP-21As which were 'orbiting' at about 80,000 feet. The ships had little hope of defending against the Yakhont-3.

About ten minutes after the preliminary strike, the 36 DP-21Gs fired all six of their Yakhont-3s at a range of about 340 nautical miles, still well outside of their radar and air cover ranges... Soon the air was filled with two hundred and twenty-eight (228) Yakhont-3 missiles as they roared towards the Belem 'imperial fleet'. These missiles mostly targetted anything that didn't survive the first strike, including all AA and ASW ships, missile ships, and any destroyers or frigates... After the missiles were fired, the DP-21s banked and headed back for their home carriers, escorted by the DP-21Bs and F-57As.

The other two waves were due to arrive to finish off the Belem imperial fleet nearby.

Six CL-17ASW aircraft swung low about 100 miles from the ARSB fleet (still a long ways away from Belem's fleet) and released sono-buoys all over. Two F-57As and DP-21 provided them cover. Soon, a massive network was in place and ASW aircraft and helicopters were on constant patrol. Attack submarines sat silently beneath the waves, waiting...

One of the Red Tide-class ballistic missile submarines sat silently alone in the distance... Her crew was preparing her cruise missile tubes. In twenty minutes she fired a volley of thirty PAC-56A Javelin anti-ship cruise missiles at the Belem imperial fleet they were targetting. A vast multitude were aimed for any ASW, AA, destroyers and frigates still alive.

OOC- There, I'm giving you plenty of chances to do something, I'm even letting you decide how many missiles were shot down (Although there shouldn't be that many since the Yakhont-3 is a beautiful missile and very hard to hit; the PAC-56A is considerably easier to intercept, but with radar jamming courtesy of DP-21s, you may have trouble with that too). I trust that you will be realistic, because I am being realistic here.

12-06-2004, 18:52

As crews evacuated SAM sites, more hidden airbases scrambled, launching 20 SU-47's in total. The SU-47's sped towards the F-42s who had just destroyed the ground to air missile sites. They soon caught up with the evading fighters and began to fire, Sidewinder missiles speeding towards them...

http://www.southcn.com/news/international/gjnm/200309040750_315438.jpg

All troops in Sino are being evacuated to help defend the homefront. Several hundred V-22 Ospreys are being sent to pick them up and send them home...

Reeturning for another raid, the F-41's in escort role spot the Su-47's, and initially target them with 200km ranged AA-3 missiles. These missiles have a 1.5:1 hit ratio with any fighter, and this ratio is in fact based on the Su-47 (we thought this was a popular aircraft).

40 AA-3's race towards the fighters, adn the escorts RTB. A wing on 24 F-45's from the 5th Elite Fighter wing take escort duty.

The Tu-160 bombers fire once more with 2 Scramjets each, firing 16 in total. These are fired at airbases this time, and no civilian centres.

OOC:

We are trying to skillfully avoid attacking Soviet Bloc here, we are meant to be allies.

Kazakhstania

12-06-2004, 19:35

IC2: Also, on a combat patrol over Sino, several F-42's (Kazakhstanian version is totally different, just same name) come across the V-22's airlifting personnel out of Sino.

They dive in, launching heat seeking missiels and strafing the aircraft. Then, the call in the Ka-58's.

These helicopters close in a fire their 30mm cannons and Heat seeking missiles at the V-22's.

OOC: These birds are defensless, so no godmodding please. You've proved you are a good RPer, and thanks for that. Just to remind you, ive been screwed over by soft losses before.

Buechoria

12-06-2004, 19:41

OOC: I learned this manuver in a game.... You may not believe it, but I've done it plenty fo times, and it's worked very well

IC:

The jets, seeing the missiles, begin evasive manuevers... But not normal ones... The jets flip around heading straight forward towards the missiles. The jets, at the last moment do a mid air flip, sending the missiles on a course now behind them. Unfortunately, it was not all succesful. 10 of the missiles destroyed 9 of the jets.

IC:

"Attention, we have incoming missiles! Evasive-" The pilot of the leace V-22 was cut off by the ensuing explosion as the missiles hit many fo the planes. Only 10 of 120 escape, but some are forced to crash or land because of wounds from the missile shrapnel, etc...

For the rest of the afternoon, F-42's and Ka-58's continue to look for V-22's. Any found are promptly dealt with.

As for the Scramjets, the continue to fly in....

Buechoria

12-06-2004, 20:19

All airbases suddenly told airplanes to land immedietly. The remaining SU-47's quickly returned as the scramjets could be seen slowly shwoing themselves int eh distance. Radar was shut off.

"Get ready...."

A small door on top of the ground opened slowly and hte nose of a small missile pooped out... The scramjets were coming closer...

"Turn keys when I say "mark".."

The scramjets could be faintly heard now

"3...2...1...MARK!"

The 3 men inside the bunker next to the missile all turned their jeys simultaneously, the missile shooting into the air. The scramjets were about to hit the base when the missile, about 100 feet up exploded, releasing a shockwave. The missiles lost control and began flying in spirals everywhere. Any nearby enemy plane began to head towards the ground....

... It was an EMP blast. Small, but effective in diterring the missiles.

The base was temporarely shut down, but had been saved

Kazakhstania

12-06-2004, 20:32

OOC: Scramjets go so fast they cant turn. Also, they do their maneuvering over a 50 mile period, tahst how lonmg it takes them to turn. They may turn all of, mmm, a metre. Its physics.

Buechoria

12-06-2004, 20:37

OOC: Now I am just confused... Besides, you can't even put a scramje in a missile. Tehre wouldn't be enough room for a regular engine for it to gain it's initial speed... Er.. What? Nevermind...

Kazakhstania

12-06-2004, 20:46

Kazakhstania

12-06-2004, 20:47

OOC: Thats the idea of the launch dive.

The bombers accelerate to 60,000 feet, then dive on afterburners at Mach 3, about. This is the Scramjets launch speed.

Buechoria

12-06-2004, 20:52

OOC: OH, I see. I'll have the missiles hit, bu I wish you attacked on land.. We got one helluva ground force, it's not even funny.

OOC2: The missiles hit

IC:

Men and jets evacuated from the base quickly as the missiles began cratering the narby landscape and base itself...

Kazakhstania

12-06-2004, 20:55

OOC: Thanks. They arent too accurate though, wind does funny things at Mach 9. But they are fast enough to hit a near enough target. Not fighters, more buildings.

OOC2: We have over 3 Million Ranger Trained Troops, hundreds of thousands of tanks and a Paratroop divison numbering 200,000 troops.

Naviscko

12-06-2004, 20:58

OOC: Ok, about the spiraling, it would be possible for them to spiral, but only if after the EMP hit, they stalled and then fell diectly below. In this case, the missiles would have still hit the ground and destoyed some stuff, so I believe you have losses to report there Buechoria. Also, about hte Scramjets, while that is a good idea for the dive bombings, the Scramjets cannot be activted until near mach 5 if I recall correctly. The only way the T-160s could have done that, is if they first were equipped with regular Ramjets too, tehn they could attain the diving speed to launch and activate a Scramjet missile.

But this is based on what I have read, as I am not a scientist performed the tests.

PS:

The Buechoria Provinces region is what Buechoria is: Made up of several smaller provinces. Naviscko is one of them. We are all considered one nation.

Okay, about hte helicopters, you have wrong numbers. The MI-24 is near accurate I suppose, but the Ka-50 and Ka-57 are near identical(as helicopters that is). Also, should we include our air power numbers, or not?

OOC- I'm just going to post this to pass the time, I'm rather bored at the moment.

The 6th Expeditionary Fleet, a dedicated Marine Force Projection Fleet, had been steadily approaching the coordinates of the 2nd Battle Fleet which had just launched the attacks on Belem naval assets in the area...

As the 6th fleet neared the area, twenty six assorted aircraft, mainly F-57As and DP-21Bs took off from the decks of the Admiral Mikhail Trevikovsky, a modified Admiral Vinogradov-class medium carrier, to begin air patrols in the vicinity to act as a quick reaction force in the event the fleet or nearby vessels were engaged.

The 6th Expeditionary Fleet was home to the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Assault Division, a division of nearly 9000 marines and another 1500 airborne assault soldiers, which were prepared to begin landing on Buechorian beaches whenever the area was cleared. Due to the presence of the marines and the large amount of logistical ships, a massive escort force was present to protect it from everything from air attacks to submarines and anything else, including other ships.

Any landing maneuver would probably have smaller patrol (or shallow-water) ships clear the shallower waters near the beaches while landing craft and amphibious assault ships began their slow move towards shore. Aircraft from the two carriers in the fleet would prevent any hostile force from intervening while elements of the airborne division would land before the marines, courtesy of smaller carrier-capable transports and cargo aircraft. They would secure the area around the beaches in the event any hostile ground forces were present (doubtful) and begin setting up an initial base of operations and setting up preliminary air defense units.

Currently, all ARSB forces are well off from any Kazakhstanian forces so no immediate interaction is probable, although if there is any interaction, we will not fire on Kazakhstanian forces unless they fire upon us.

The ARSB also encourages Westtle to not enter this conflict.

OOC:sorry for the late post. im back now. Had stuff to do all day

8 of the f-40s are destroyed the other 4 target take evasive actions to avoid the missiles.

Of the 92 remaining F-40s not engaging buechoria fighters. 80 re route from there current flight plan to engage the enemy fighters.

The lead fighters launch long range anti air missiles against the 6 DP-21s. A total of 20 missiles is launched. The missiles primary guidance is radar they cycle through frequencies in quick bursts(to find a free one in) order to establish locks. There seconday fail safe system is a heat seek mode.

Meanwhile Belem Awacs flying over the fleet begin to counter jam and cycle through frequencies to provide air control for the battle.

50 of the F-42s (they each have 4 LR missiles for AA whereas the F-40s had a full AA loadout 6 LR the other 6 Medium to short range) change course when the first reports of air combat come in.

The two groups hit mach 2.3 and begin to converge on the the transport/fighter group. The primary fighter group of the F-40s launch a total of 300 long range missiles at 160 miles and the F-42s launch a total of 60. The fighters break formation after missile launch and deploy counter measures to confuse incomings.

-----------
The fleets begin to launch additional fighters to expand the CAP after the initial firefighters break out.

50 More F-40s are put into the air by the fleets and 30 F-42s(with AA loadout.)

Plus an additional 2 awacs are launched.

Each ship in the fleet is instructed to switch to a seperate radar frequency to prevent all channels from being jammed.

----------

The Yahkofts splash harmlessy into the sea since the pilots apparantly launched them 556 Kilometers out of range(yahkoft only has a 150 KM or about 90 mile range in sea skimmer mode.)

Same thing happens for the missiles launched by the fighters(you fired way out of range)

OOC: also considering the same of the missile its over 27 feet I doubt the fighters were carrying anything other then them.)

30 of the F-40s give chase to the fighters that launched the attempted attack. (ooc: how fast are they going?)

5 of the F-40s and F-42 begin patrolling for the scramber aircraft.

Soviet Bloc

13-06-2004, 05:08

OOC- Whoah, I'm confused now... Anyways, the Yakhont-3 is a variant of the original Yakhont. I purchased production rights from United Elias and the range of the Yakhont-3 is 430 nautical miles. And the longest range I fired from was 50 miles within that limit. So, they would've hit your ships.

As for the CFAM XRAAMs, they have a range of just under 200 miles. Crookfur developed it for me for the DP-21 EW and long range interceptor. Hey, and you're using 160-mile (at least) range missiles.

Okay, I'm going to attempt to decipher some of the things you meant.

About the aircraft in the initial wave (not the F-225As). The DP-21Gs which are the ground-attack version (also anti-shipping) fired the Yakhont-3s. The DP-21A/Bs the EW and long-range interceptors fired the air-to-air missiles. Alright?

The F-57As can hit speeds just above Mach 3. But they'd be moving at about Mach 2.5.

The DP-21As can move at a top speed of about Mach 1.5 and are probably cruising at Mach 1.2 to 1.3. Same with the DP-21Gs.

The F-225As can move at Mach 2+ and are probably out of range and back at their home carriers. So they won't partake in maneuvers.

Another note: Every DP-21 was built with an electronic warfare suite. Meaning, you've got about 80 electronic warfare aircraft there which also means 240? radar frequencies can be jammed. All of our aircraft and radar systems are entered into a massive network so if our DP-21s are forced to scramble the frequency we're on, it'll send a transmission to every radar system within range of the EW abilities for it to switch channels.

-------------

Airborne radar aircraft immediately pick up the massive amount of aircraft heading in on the forces. Anti-aircraft frigates, which were roughly below the transport/fighter group began engaging the enemy swarm with AA gun fire (if they were low enough) and extensive anti-aircraft missile salvos. (This attack is aimed at the 80 F-40s moving to engage our's).

The six DP-21A/B's EW countermeasures go to work, the missile's radars are pretty much useless after each one continually cycles through different radar frequencies... Infrared countermeasures is another problem... One of the DP-21s fires its infrared countermeasure missile, a missile packed with an enormous warhead, it explodes in front of them and draws in two of the Belem missiles. Four survive and roar towards the DP-21s. One DP-21 pilot panics and ejects, quickly followed by his EW officer... Two missiles impact the DP-21, one first, then the next into the firebal. Two more missiles remain. One DP-21 manages to dodge the missile, mainly because the DP-21 was far more maneuverable. The final missile hits the exhaust field of one DP-21, but believing its found the engine, it ignites... Plastering the DP-21's tail and rear section, forcing it to dump fuel and munitions. Minutes later and two more missiles slam into its fuselage, incinerating the EW officer, the pilot escapes. The three other DP-21s manage to escape destruction through luck and some pretty outstanding maneuvers.

Fifty F-87 Zvezdas and twenty F-57A Molniyas came up behind the DP-21s only at an altitude of 80,000 feet (well the F-87s were at about 60,000 ft). They dropped in on the Belem fighters, surprise on their side because their radars were continually being jammed by the DP-21s (they can scramble 3 frequencies at once and continually cycle, not to mention there's more in the area.). As the ARSB aircraft come down on top of the Belem fighters, the F-87s all release two medium range advanced heat seeking missiles (ARSB-developed systems which use a computer system to discern between countermeasures and actual aircraft using numerous variables) along with one short range radar guided missile (a total of 150 missiles from the F-87s) at the Belem fighters. The F-57As each fire off one medium range radar guided missile (with a back up infrared search and track system) as they begin tangling with Belem fighters on the outskirts of the massive group. Eight F-87s were shot down as well as two F-57As. The F-57As began teaming up on Belem fighters, opening fire with their advanced, pod-mounted 30mm guns or firing off short range radar and infrared guided missiles. Two F-57As crashed in midair, killing one pilot.

Eight F-57A Molniya's scream through the atmosphere at 78,000 feet, their main screens showing a jumbled radar screen, courtesy of the Belem AWACs aircraft. They quickly cycle through different frequencies and get a rough position on the AWACs using numerous different frequencies and satellite assistance. They quickly drop down and each one fires two medium range infrared guided missiles with a radar/waypoint system as a secondary tracking system at the AWACs aircraft.

Unarmed DP-21s carrying more EW equipment than usual tried their damndest at scrambling the radar of the missiles... F-57As flashily dodged the Belem missiles and let their anti-radar missile countermeasures lead the missiles to believe they were already at their target, causing them to explode prematurely. However, of the 54 F-57As in that group, twelve were shot down due to the massive amount of missiles. One absorbing nearly twenty missiles because with all of the radar jamming, they had to resort to using infrared, and with the fireball of one missile, it attracted any nearby missiles into it (with 360 missiles it'd be hard not to). Many missiles were easily dodged as their fuel was almost exhausted and they were slowing down. Some more were jammed by the DP-21s' extensive EW suite because they were exposed to it through their entire 160 mile journey. Of the 70 F-87s, seventeen were shot down, only four pilots were able to eject. Many of the shot down aircraft just absorbed numerous missiles. Of the numerous transports, only two were hit. Of those two, only one was fatally hit, most of the soldiers aboard were able to parachute out. The second only suffered an engine loss.

Twenty DP-21As, fresh from the carrier, fire salvos of CFAM XRAAMs at targets. Radar jamming won't work as they also can use a waypoint system from the satellites to get within the rough vicinity of the enemy aircraft where its infrared will then take over. The 20 DP-21s each fire three of the XRAAMs at a range of 150 miles at the Belem fighters.

----------

Meanwhile, where the DP-21Gs fired their Yakhonts...

As the Belem fighters closed, the other 20 DP-21s (DP-21Bs, not DP-21Gs) armed their CFAM XRAAMs. At a range of about 130 miles, they each fired three of the six XRAAMs they carried. Sixty XRAAMs were now en route towards the thirty Belem F-40s.

The twenty F-57As hung back to wait for Belem casualties. Ten of them fired one long-range radar guided missile at the Belem F-40s, just to see if they could hit anything.

-----------------

The transports and about 30 escort fighters dropped to altitudes just above the water, just above radar as well.

----------------

Three orbiting DP-21As, which were scrambling radar frequencies all around spotted the five F-40s and F-42s at a range of about 110 miles. It was hard to even see them, with all the jamming going on and continuous frequency changes... Otherwise, the three DP-21s each fired one XRAAM at the five aircraft. They would most likely hit because they could receive radar relay coordinates fromt heir DP-21 'motherships'.

----------------

Due to all of the assorted aircraft and the massive amount of aircraft and the extensive use of jamming...

Seven F-87A Zvezdas were destroyed in mid-air collisions, as were two DP-21s and four F-57A Molniyas.

One F-57A Molniya was destroyed when it crashed into an enemy F-40 fighter in a dogfight.

OOC: dont have time for an IC post now since the dreamlands are calling me but basically the UE version of the Yahkoft is completely and utterly unrealistic. He raised the weight of the warhead by about 140 pounds, he somehow then managed to massively increase its range by hundreds of miles to a max range of 500(original max range in mixed trajectory was 300 KM so about 140 Miles.) he then increased the missiles speed by a full mach/ And He did that apparently without having to increas the missiles size or weight.

IC:
The planes scrambled as they got the alert that enemies were near. The rookie pilots didn't know what they were going up against, and would be at a great loss due to their lack of knowledge of their weapons. The Nimrods had their standard loadouts of Penguins, which would be more than enough to stop anything dead in the water, but they also Harpoons in addition to their standard loadout. This was to ensure that too many of the heavier Penguins wouldn't be wasted on smaller ships.
-------------------------------------
The Ka-50s were loaded up with Penguins for their maritime assault. They were unaccustomed to the amount of weight that the Penguins made them carry, so they would lose a lot of manuverability is battle. They would be accompanied by a fighter squadron and an attacker squadron.
-------------------------------------
The SU-47s were loaded with their standard loadouts again, and they knew their job well. Get in, and tie up the enemy fighters. They all knew that it wouldn't be a complete success unless they destroyed the enemy fighters, and took out as many attackers as they could.
-------------------------------------
As the planes took off the commander counted them one by one, to size up what kind of a chance they had. All in all, he estiamted it at about 150 SU-47s, 200 Nimrods, and 150 Ka-50s. That was more than enough to stop anything in the water, and would be a decent attack force in the air.
-------------------------------------
The SU-47s entered battle about as well as they couldgiven the circumstances. They lost 7 planes as they approached the battle due to RADAR jamming. It was a midair collision at first, but due to a piece of
shrapnel, a soldier fired his autocannon, which damaged near by allies.They came into the battle at an altitude of around 12000 feet, as to avoid any sea to air missiles that may have been launched. They could see lights from the planes below them as they came into position. "Begin combat manuever one." Said the wing leader in a cool, calm voice. They dove down at an 80 degree angle until the enemie planes started to come into sight. They couldnt tell who was who in all the chaos, and couldn't get a decent lock on for the sidewinders. Their job was to tie up enemy fighters, so it didn't matter too much.
-------------------------------------
The Ka-50s went in first, knowing that the Nimrods would be following very shortly. They had rescued a few fallen pilots from the water on the way to the enemy ships. As they scanned the waters to make sure something was out there, they heard flak screaming by as it tore through a pilots helicopter. They all got a visual on the source of the fire. They saw a fleet that was more than liely for an invasion. They droppded to an altitude of about 500 feet and lined up the planes with the enemy ships. Primary targets were aircraft carriers, but anything that looked like it was transporting troops was a target also. They lined up with the enemy, as 7 Ka-50s took the lead postition and fired. They knew to take their time and take out what they could, as they were easy targets.
-------------------------------------
"Stay low!" barked the wing leader of the group of Nimrods as they began speeding towards the ships. They saw where teh Ka-50s were already in combat, so they adjusted their flight paths. As they came into range of the ships, the commander ordered all men to fire and pull away as soon as they could. From there, they would regroup and rpeat. They made sure to use the Harpoons on smaller vessels, as to not waste the Penguins. As they volley of Penguins went off, a soldier forgo to pull away immediately, and had his wing torn off by flak. They continued their bombardment as the battle raged on.

OOC: This is my first RP of this type. Is this about how it should be done?

Kazakhstania

13-06-2004, 18:44

The F-45's from Elite 6th Squadron picked up the aircraft soon enough. These pilots were the most experienced in Kazakhstania, having fought in over 5 conflicts each, at an average kill rate of 13 per person. They were experts.

They instantly recognised that they should avoid the Su-47's at all costs, although they could probably take them out. they were to avoid them until the new AA-3's arrived, ones which wouldn't get fooled by the Beuchorian maneuvers.

The F-41's from the relatively inexperienced 1st Squadron, which only had 2 conflicts under its belt, lit up the huge Nimrods with their long range AA-3's and let go two each from 24 fighters. Then, they pulled off back to base.

The F-45's engaged their stealth gear, active optical camo and infrared foolers and closed in on the Ka-50's and Nimrods, hoping to close to 12 miles to have a almost certain chance of killing them.

On the ground on the coast, AA-3 batteries opened up from 50km within maximum range on the Nimrods, and several batteries on the Ka-50's

Inbound fighters: 12 F-45's

Inbound Missiles: 148 AA-3's

While the maritime battle is being fought of the coast of Buechoria, General Harris ordered his men to prepare for a ground assault. Winter was coming, and men frantically dug into the ground to make foxholes and bunkers before the dirt became frozen in the harsh cold. Men donned their cold weather gear as snow began to fall and visibility lowered severly...

"I wonder how those jets and helicopters can see up in the snow..." thought a Buechorian soldier as he waited with two other comrades in his bunker as they watched the roars of jets and missiles flying off the coast....

*The First Kazakhstanian Encursion in Beuchoria*

24 Ka-62 Helicopters and 12 Ka-58 Helicopters buzzed in low over the landscape, in the freezing cold. The snow impeded the landscape and made maneuver almost impossbile. But the pilots battled on. They came into sight of their LZ, and set down.

144 Troops hopped out, all part of the Elite Spec Ops Division. They quickly set up a perimeter, and hoped to hell no one would notice their arrival.

Overhead the helicopter begain to pull out, in a complext turning maneuver. This was kind of stupid, as in the snow.....

....Collision was a huge danger. Two Ka-62's collided witha huge explosion, and their wrecks hit the ground, melting snow and clearing trees for hundreds of metres. On the ground, the troops dived for cover, and waited for the inspection forces to arrive...

Well, the Yakhont can be upgraded and this IS NationStates, so... I'm sure everything with the Yakhont-3 is legal and will work, but for the sake of the rp...

Can ya at least accept it? Just this once, because I went through all that work... They ain't gonna sink your entire fleet or whatever anyways. And after this I won't use any more Yakhont-3s, I'll use our more conventional As-19 Kingfish IV's (which have a range of about 190 miles).

Oh, you also forgot to accept the damage from the anti-shipping cruise missiles...

------------------

Within the intelligence-gathering bureaus of the ARSB, satellite networks were watching the Buechorian border but due to the new low pressure front moving in, leading a band of cold air with heavy snow and blizzard-conditions, they could not see anything along the Buechorian border.

Satellite imagery and infrared systems had spotted an unknown number of unidentified objects emitting heat enter the low-visibility areas and effectively disappear to both infrared and imagery systems, however, it was known they were heading towards the border. Intelligence experts weren't sure if they were just sent to garrison the border on Kazakhstania's side (I'm assuming that's who's country it is) or beginning an invasion into Buechoria.

Whether it was an invasion attempt or not, intelligence officials deemed the data important enough to transmit it to Buechorian military commanders. A half hour later and a small, but noticeable heat signature appeared and quickly faded. Imagery systems focused in on the signature and advanced computers determined it was an explosion. The site of the explosion was within Buechoria. That data was also transmitted and it was determined that Kazakhstania (or any other nation) had just launched an invasion into Buechoria.

Buechorian military commanders and brass should have received the data packets by now.

-------

Meanwhile, ARSB aircraft, after receiving weather updates from ARSB weather observers, moved up above the incoming low pressure front in order to avoid the low visibility and turbulence due to the high winds and snow.

The battle raged on as DP-21Gs were preparing for take-off aboard another Admiral Vinogradov-class medium carrier. They were loaded out with eight As-19 Kingfish IVs each and they'd be launching another attack on the Belem naval vessels.

On a nearby hill, a scout took his bnincoulers and stole a quick glance at the explosion of the two helicopters. he took out his radipo pack and turned some knobs, quietly speaking into it

"This is Blue Star 1. Enemy sighted esitmated.. 130 or more incoming troops, heading your direction Blue Star 2. Current grid number is... 7-SE. Over"

"This is....Bl...e...Star 2..W...Copy...." The radio made SSSHHHing noises as static overtook the line

"Shit.." the scout mumbled to himself as he put the radio back in his pack and headed back towards his bunker..

The 210 troops in the long trench of "Blue Star 2" prepared their AKS-74Us and machine guns.
A BMP-2 behind them loaded shells, as the clanking could be heard very easily. The troops, ready, were quiet as the blizzard continued blanketing the ground...

With the inferior Beuchorian defenses thrown into disarray by airborne harasssments, Sinoese manufactured Chinese Type 63A ALTs (Amphibious Light Tanks) land on Luhai Is. with infantry in close support. Do not be fooled by their status as light tanks, what they lack in armour and can made up for in speed. Despite only a 105mm rifled main gun, this can fire AP, HE, HEAT and APFSDS as well as anti-tank missiles, making it a real threat to MBTs.

http://www.sinodefence.com/army/tank/type63a_3.jpg

Marines in the area number well over 500,000. supported by artillery and spearheaded by ALTs, their mission was simple.

===============================================

The ARSSWF (Armed Republic of Sino Special Weapons Force) working in a close partnership with the ARSN decides to wreak heavy losses on enemy naval units in the area. Closely guarded ACS (Armed Cargo Ships) were quickly resupplied with DF-15 SRBMs. These missiles often travel at Mach 6.0 speeds.

As the Nimrods released their final Penguins, they radioed the SU-47s. "We're headign back in." said the lead pilot to the SU-47s. As they we're heading back in, they reaized taht they had a problem. "Sir, my fuel is getting low." said one of the Nimrod pilots. The lead pilot listened as he heard similar transmissions from hsi other pilots. "This is the commander of the Naviscko Maritime Airforce Division." said the lead pilot over the radio, as he spoke to Beuchorian ground comanders. "Do we have a place to land near you? We are running low on fuel." "Roger that, head in the general area of South-SouthEast, we can't give you exact coordiantes at this moment."
As the pilots changed course, the pilots starting noticing smaller landing craft on the way to the shore. Men, everyone take a lock on to the boat nearest you." "As soon as I give the order, fire on the landing vessels."
As soon as the commander said fire, the volley of missiles poured out of the panes, except for the two that had run out of fuel.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The SU-47s watched as the cool glow of the afterburners in the night went away as the Nimrods were leaving combat. They took that as the time to exit the skirmish with the enemy and friendly pilots. The pilot told them to break formation and head South-SouthEast. During the chaos, a group of planes got tangled together and made a great spectacle of fireworks show in the freezing night. Only 3 of them were Navisckian planes, so it wasn't too great a loss.
------------------------------------------------------------
As the Ka-50s saw the SU-47s coming, they launched the reast of their anti-ship payload and headed to the specified direction. The saw the Nimrods attacking more targets in the distance, and then decided to cause some mayhem of their own. They flew in high, above the mess of Nimrods that were flying over the enemy base, as to use them as cover, and then calculated their remaining fuel. "Ok men, we should mave more than enough fuel to make it to the Buchorian base." "Now, on my order, drop all of your spare fuel tanks." The tanks fell silently to the snowy gound below, and the combined amount of all of the fuel created an explosin that the young pilots had never seen the likes of, except in pictures of course.

A distant rumble could be heard behind the trench as men turned their heads and recognized the silouhette of a BMP-3 IFV, the upgraded version of the BMP-2. The driver popped his head out and quickly raised his arm over his face to keep the snow away from him. The commander of the BMP-2 scanned him and began to speak

"WHAT IS IT!?" He screamed over the howling wind

"WE'RE.. WE'RE HERE TO REPLACE YOUR PO.. POSITION.. Gah!" The driver of the BMP-3 had grown accustomed to the warmth inside the vehicle and was flailing to avoid the cold.

"YES SIR!" the other tank commander said. He pulled the door over the cupola and the lights of the BMP-2 lit up only a mere 2 feet in front of it because of the snow. It drove of into the distance...
-------------

Inside the BMP-3, the diver shivered to warm himself up again. He turned to the two other men who accompanied him.

"Get the 'suprise' for our friends loaded, now. It'll really heat things up around here.. heheh.."

The drivers lame joke made the gunner and commander groan. The gunner carefully unsealed a box labeled "CAUTION! NAPALM" and took out one of the smooth shells. He delicately loaded it into the turret and laid back, waiting for the oncoming enemies to arrive...

Soviet Bloc

14-06-2004, 23:39

It had been a calm, clear night at the Soviet Bloc naval air station within the borders of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The base had been built there many years ago in an agreement with their government and it housed one of the larger air stations in the ARSB Navy inventory. Taking off from that base would be the 319th Naval Bomber Wing, a group of Tu-160 bombers configured to carry either bombs or anti-shipping cruise missiles. Tonight, they'd be carrying the latter and be carrying four of them, two in internal bays, the other two mounted on platforms underneath the fuselage.

At 1:11 AM, ten F-57A Molniya air superiority fighters and another six F-87A Zvezda fighters took off from that airfield and waited for the Tu-160s to take off. After the Tu-160s took off, the fighters would escort them out to a certain range and then hang back in case any enemy fighters would come near the Tu-160s, which then the fighters would throttle full and tangle with the enemy fighters.

At about 1:17 AM, the twelve Tu-160s in the wing took off from the four operating runways at the station and proceeded towards the current naval conflict at an altitude of about 50,000 feet. They were moving at about Mach 1.4. Two hours later and they were in firing range from the Belem fleet. A brief radio exchange was made between the aircraft and their home command before their armamanets were armed and prepared for launch. Over a fifteen minute period, forty-eight (48 ) PAC-56S Javelin anti-shipping cruise missiles were fired in a staggered formation at the Belem fleet. They would drop to an altitude of 500 feet until they were twenty miles from target where they would drop to about 50 feet of altitude. And just before impact, the warhead would seperate into its primary charge and the three secondary charges, the primary would slam into the hull while the three secondary ones would either enter the hole or slam into the rest of the hull. This ensured that CIWS would not be able to take out all the explosive punch of these missiles. The missiles were fired at a range of about 400 miles away, well within the ranges of the CRUISE MISSILES (not regular anti-shipping missiles, but large cruise missiles).

Before they could've been detected, they veered back for home base, arriving within two hours.

-----------------------

Meanwhile, after the snow hit, the airborne CL-15 transports dropped down to incredibly low altitudes, their fuselages taking a battering from the cold, the wind, and the snow. There was too much turbulence and snow for any combat aircraft to dogfight down here and there was no way any of the Belem fighters could see them. But, it was a hazard to the CL-15s, their pilots had to rely on maps and their altometers, which don't tell you if there's something ahead that you can't see. For the most part, the transports made it through all right, although two had close calls with the water and one actually hydroplaned before regaining altitude.

The snow was dense and unforgiving with extremely low visibility, it'd be a miracle if they made it to Buechoria. Satellite uplinks told them they only had miles to go, but technology always had a knack for going wrong at bad times, and this was a bad time...

Captain Sighil Hekterov wrestled with the controls of his CL-15SF, one of the few aircraft in this transport squadron outfitted for low-visibility, low altitude flying. The wind off of the waves was creating turbulence equal to that of trying to glide through a tornado and it was a continuous struggle to maintain control of the aircraft. His co-pilot, Lieutenant Viktor Tremov was killed when a piece of a propeller of a downed CL-15 ruptured through his window and wedged itself in his chest. His CL-15SF, designated TS514-A05, was shot up badly, she had been filled with shrapnel from the lone CL-15 that was hit by enemy missiles (which was only yards in front of TS514-A05), one of her four engines was on the fritz and her hydrualics were losing fast, she had six dead men aboard, the co-pilot, and four soldiers in back, along with the loadmaster. Thankfully, it was a tough bird and holding out, although it didn't seem much longer, if she began to lose power, Hekterov knew what he had to do. Throttle full, risk engine explosion and get to a higher altitude so the men in back could parachute to safety, his safety was of minimal importance compared to the fifty other men sitting in back.

It would be an uphill battle for Hekterov, TS514-A05 and the rest of the 514th Transport/Logistics Squadron and its 9 other remaining aircraft.

Within minutes they would hit the Buechorian coast line and be the only Soviet Bloc soldiers in the country for some time... if they could even get that far...
-----------------------

"Roger, Sir!" replied his subordinate. He knew exactly what to do.

The put on his SHUD visor, which instantly recognised the weather around it as freezing cold and snowing. It turned on Thermal vision, which saw for about 5 miels in each direction. Hell, he could see a squirrel at 2 miles.

He saw the hulks of the BMP-2's first, their warmth far warmer than the frozen air around it. He picked up a laser designator, lay down and lit it up. He estimated the position as 3 km away, and calle din the Tu-160 bombers to launch the Scramjets.

150 miles from the border, 3 Tu-160's laucnhed precision Scramjets, which would reach the target in....less than 30 seconds. They were launched, and the Bombers turned around and headed back home.

The commander on the ground also got 4 81mm Mortars set up, and a single 105mm Field Gun. They waited until the Scramjets hit before firing....

A soldier sat inside the trench, listening to a radio through earphones, tuning the dials.

"Sir, I picked up a transmission...."

A nearby Sergeant leaned over and put the earphones on. He listened carefully...

"What the hell.. SHIT! EVERYONE GET DOWN!"

The crackle of airplane radio transmissions filled the radio. The driver of the BMP vaguely heard the warning. He pressed several buttons, and the BMP-3 began wheeling backards. Men dashed out of the trench as the scream of the scramjets was heard and then soon cratered the soft snow. Smoke rose from the craters. The bodies of Buechorian soldiers were lying in the snow, blood everywhere.

"Private, give me an estimated body count..."

"I think 30, maybe 45 Sarge."

"Shit... Alright..." The Sergeant walked over the BMP which attempting to get out of a crater. He climbed on top and was almost shaken off by the movement of the vehicle. he knocked ont he cupola door and climbed inside.

"Commander?" The Sergeant said to the tank commander. The driver was struggling with the controls. Before the commanders lips seperated to begin speaking, the BMP flew forward, almost flying out of the trench. The gunner, driver and commander brushed themselves off as the Sergeant regained his stance.

"Commander.. We just got hit by 3 missiles. We found a nearby enemy force and believe they called in the airstrike. I want you to drive this baby towards where the missiles came from. Lead the troops, and so on."
The commander nodded and told the driver where to go. He looked back and saluted, then got the BMP-3 ready. The sergeant crawled out and screamed to his remaining men.

"LET'S MOVE OUT MEN! FOLLOW THE BMP-3!"

The men cheered, their morale not cracked one bit as some hopped ontop of and inside of the BMP-3, while the rest ran on the sides.

The sergeant slid back inside the BMP-3.

"I hope this napalm shit works...."

Practically as soon as the sergeant said that, the snow died down...

"Shit....their loading up."

"Right, arty! FIRE!"

All the artillery and mortars opened up on the advancing troops who were now out of their bunkers, and would do so for the next 2 miles or so, until they were one mile in.

At 1 mile, the Olga ATGM missiles would kick in, hopefully wasting most of the armor.

Until then, all that could protect the troops was their LMG's and Snipers. The snipers had already began picking people off with their .50 cal sniper rifles.

The snipers of the Buehcorian's ran ahead of the other troops. 6 of them in total. They carefully set up camp on the east and west sides of the Kazakhstani base. They reported in and began t take aim. The ones on the east side quickly began taking out the enemy snipers, some not noticing the Buechorian snipers because of their conecntration on the maine force. The snipers ont he west side began taking down the men manning the Olga's and a handful of the rocket launcher equipped men. The Buechorian force charged and made a full frontal on the base, stripps of some of it's missile launchers. The BMP-3 stayed slightly behind the troops who were rapidly approaching. About 500 feet fromt he encampent, they stopped and fell to the ground.

The BMP-3 raised it's cannon and fired 2 shells. The shells screamed through the air and landed near the base. They did not explode like normal shells. They cratered the ground, then suddenly burst into flames, their gel inside splattering everywhere. Flames erupted fromt he gel as the ground became soggy and wet, the snow melting quickly...

It was Napalm...

Kazakhstania

15-06-2004, 21:58

The troops manning the Olga's managed to get off 2 rockets before being taken out by snipers. The missiles screamed towards the tanks, and came right down towards the top armour.

The snipers begain being picked off, but two of the ost experienced had found good spots, almost unseeable from 20 metres. They fired shot after shot at the snipers, their silencers makeing them unhearable in the blizzard.

The napalm hit the ground behind the main perimenter, gutting the force. 3 Mortar crews and over 60 troops were cremated, most dieing instantly.

The main perimeter was holding up well. Their 7.62mm Machine Guns (M-60's without the awful reliability) opened up on the main force, mowing down troop after troop. Mortars and Artillery shells continued to crater the ground with gut wrenching explosions, and a 20mm AA gun opened up on the main force, ripping through it.

2 .50 cal MG's opened up, and 20 men with Grenade Launchers fired their grenades at the advancing troops. They then fired their main Assault Rifles at the hoards, who seemed never to get smaller. But then the saving grace appeared.

4 Ka-58 Attack Helicopters appeared over the horizon. They hovered over the battle scene, and fired over 230 rockets at the crowd, firing their 30mm guns at the troops. They fired Olga's at the BMP-2's (if they are still alive, which could be possible, the Blizzard effects guidance), with millimeter accuracy.

The battle may have been lost on the ground, but crippling losses had hopefully been given. If the troops were lucky, 20 or so could still do Commando style raids behind enemy lines.

OOC:

So, you had 250 troops, yeh? I had 140 or so, so I should have about 10-20 left, if I win, which is strongly possible with helo support.

The special forces team had stopped the Buechorian forces... Temporarely. Private O'Neil, radio operator, found a secluded area in the nearby woods, unable to be detected. He spoke into the radio quietly...

"This is Private O'Neil, Blue Star 2 has beena anniahalted. Do you copy?"

The transmission was crisp since the billzzard died down.

"This is Fort Virka. We copy, what is our position on the grid?"

"7-SE"

"Affirmative, sending in reinforcements."

Just 2 minutes later, the sky was filled with Ka-50 and Ka-57 fire. The helicopters slowly movd in, firing every missile at the enemy helicopeters, bringing them down...

The leading Ka-57 brought them down low as they began firing their machien guns mowing down troops left and right. The squeak of tarcks could be heard as 2 T-90 tanks rolled onto the seen and began cratering the ground with shells...

The fleet is now operating on over 500 different radar(theres 480 combat ships and 100 transport ships in the area) channels to ensure continued radar operations. Another 20 ships have devoted there radar stations to counter jamming the SB forces.

-----------

Anti Air Defenses detect the incoming missiles and CIWS systems began computing firing solutions. Hotshot laser defense begans establishing there firing arcs and steel wall defenses prepare to take out any missiles that get through to the center of the fleet.

The lasers open fire at on widebeam setting to neutralize multiple targets at once and the beams of multiple arrays are crossed to ensure to quick destruction.

68 of the 72 missiles are taken down by the hotshot system and steel wall goes live to eliminate the remaining missiles before they can past the primary defense screen. The four remaining missiles go down easily to steel wall(ECM fired.)

second wave: of the 272 approx. 200 are knocked out by another 30 are knocked out by primary steel wall defenses the rest penetrate the primary defense shield. Within the secondary defense ring the guns are forced to slow down in there firing so they don't inadvertnly hit friendly ships and only 18 of the remaining missiles are able to be downed.

Damage: 2 missile ships hit by 3 missiles each. moderately to severely damaged
4 Battleships hit by 2 missiles each. Light to Moderate damage due to extensive armor of the ships.
1 Carrier hit by 4 missiles. Combat Flight Ops suspended until flooding is contained.
1 battleship hit by 4 missiles. out of action

The 32 submarine launched missiles are easilly taken down by the fleet defenses

-------------

attack against soviet bloc forces.

250 Tomahawks are launched against the SB airbase in Buechoria.

Third fleet which carriers haven't begun to launch flight ops begins launching fighters for anti fleet operations. in the course of 15 minutes the 4 carriers launch 100 F-40s and 100 F-42s, which head towards the SB fleet on the deck.

OOC: how many ships do you have?

Soviet Bloc

16-06-2004, 01:17

OOC- Well, my base I launched my Tu-160s from is actually 2000 miles away in ARSB territory. So, you can still fire your Tomahawks there, but they won't make it... I don't think.

Anyways, ship numbers... Oh... I'm just gonna estimate between 200 and 300 (combat ships), maybe more. We've got an entire battle fleet (the bulk of the force) and three expeditionary fleets. I'll have to get the exact numbers soon. Many of these forces were the same ones that were surrounding TFU, so they got to their current position relatively fast. Another expeditionary fleet is en route with marine landing forces, although they'll be avoiding the conflict area. Another expeditionary fleet is nearby and may be called into battle.
---------

A few scattered radars were being jammed by the Belem ships. Otherwise ARSB ships began operating on numerous frequencies as well.

---------
"Shit..." one of the radiomen dropped his head in disgust...

"What is it?!" replied the ranking officer in the communications room aboard the flagship of the 2nd Battle Fleet.

"Sir, they've got a helluva fleet defense system, hardly any missiles got through. They've got some laser system... That's what Observer-Two is saying." -Observer 2 is a high-altitude, un-armed DP-21 with reconaissance equipment-

The captain nodded slightly... The speaker box in the room came alive: "Radar Contacts, Bearing 2-5..." the transmission cut out... "Battle Stations. Alert."

Klaxons erupted through-out the ship... And the lights went to red. The speaker box sent out a last message before it turned to an alarm- "All pilots, report to briefing room. Fleet Defense pilots, belay that order, rendezvous in flight hangar C, starboard side."

The captain in command of the communications room glanced around just as three pilots ran through the room and exited out one of the open hatches...
---------------

The decks of the carriers in the 2nd Battle Fleet came alive. The primary carrier, the lone Razor-class battle carrier, was the largest... Two more light assault carriers were in the fleet along with four aviation cruisers (not to mention the other three carriers in the three expeditionary fleets). They all sent up fleet air-defense fighters to engage the Belem fighters as far out to sea as possible. CIWS were up and running and already computing possible firing solutions of where any anti-shipping missiles were to come in. Anti-aircraft frigates were preparing their VLS tubes and anti-aircraft CIWS.

Within minutes, the sky was filled with nearly three-hundred aircraft (153 F-57A Molniya, 110 DP-21A/B, 35 DP-02A configured for anti-aircraft duties). Airborne radar units also took off and anti-EW units were preparing for take-off as well. Numerous fighters and other aircraft weren't able to go airborne, as they were either being refueld, re-armed, or repaired due to earlier combat with Belem air forces. Search and rescue boats and helicopters were mobilized in advance and prepared to head out in the event any friendly, or enemy, aircraft were downed.

The entire bulk of aircraft head towards the Belem fighters, before breaking off into three groups, the largest continues moving forward while the second drops back a few hundred miles, the third gains altitude and veers off at a 30 degree angle.

Within minutes, DP-21s in the group begin picking up the Belem fighters on their radar. Sixty DP-21s fire an initial long-range missile volley of nearly 120 advanced radar-guided/radar-update guided/ and infrared back-up missiles which streak through the sky, ever advancing on the Belem fighters. The F-57As and their DP-02 counterparts throttle up to the upper Mach 2 range and fire off an initial volley of 80 medium-range radar guided missiles with infrared back-up (as soon as they enter range to fire them).
------------

The second group hangs back at 230 miles behind the first group, to engage anything that attempts to side-step the main group.

------------

The third group continues to make a wide arc, preparing to come either behind or to the side of the Belem fighters or anything Belem sent behind them.

Meanwhile, the battered transports finally reach the Buechorian coastline...

---------

Captain Hekterov's aircraft was the first to drop its paratroopers... Fifty-two soldiers parachuted into the blizzarding, night sky over Buechoria... After the 52 soldiers, four pallets of supplies were tossed out along with one MMPWV-03 all-terrain vehicle.

Minutes afterwards and the engines aboard the mighty aircraft gave out, she entered a terminal dive and Hekterov bailed out with the loadmaster. They luckily made it out safely. The CL-15SF barreled down towards the ground before she slammed into the snowy earth, skidding across and opening into a grove of trees, she then erupted into a fireball, one wing blowing apart, the other melting off of the superstructure. Her engines lay in a long line from where she touched down.

The remaining nine aircraft parachuted their loads over the Buechorian landscape in the horrendous weather within Amecaueropia province. Over all, 390 men touched down in Buechoria, along with sixteen T-05A mobile gun systems, twenty SIV-21s, and twelve MMPWV-03 Veprs. It wasn't much, but there was just enough to set up a forward operating position. All of the SIV-21s were outfitted for the air defense role with SAMs and anti-aircraft cannons except two, which maintained twin 25mm automatic cannons and ATGMs. The men began setting up a small camp with the supplies they had brought and began to attempt to contact Buechorian army personnel.

--------

Meanwhile, one more CL-15 transport had crashed due to damage sustained from the air battle. The pilot, co-pilot, navigator, and load-master were all killed as their aircraft slammed into the Buechorian landscape. The remaining eight aircraft attempted to ask for permission to land at a Buechorian air field. Eventually they received a crackled response to land at Onind, capital of the province they were over. They proceeded to land at the airbase there...

OOC- Hmm... I'm guessing it'd be 150-200 miles out, since our fleets are actually a long ways away from each other and since we've got airborne radar to pick up your aircraft. So, I'd say anywhere between 150 and 200 miles out.

OOC: just some general stats on my Javelin AS missile.
Lenght: approx 15 feet
Warhead: 100 pounds silicone composite(4x stronger then C4 so its basically the equivelent of 400 pounds of c4.)
Targeting mode: dual IR and radar
Approach method: sea skimmer, also possible to perform high altitude angle attacks.
Speed:mach 2-3
Range 150-160 for sea skim mode, 250-300 for high alt attack.
The missile in order to get extended range glides to the target at first using its engines in short bursts(also makes it more stealthy) at approx 30-50 miles it goes up to full sleep.
-----
IC: The fighters use the chop from the sea to there advantage when deploying Counter measures and take evasive actions. The F-40s go high to take the heat off the F-42s which are continuing the attack run.

17 F-40s are destroyed from the initial barrage.
8- F-42s are destroyed

---------------
F-40s first attack.

40 F-40s launch 3 Scorpion AA missiles each at the incoming fighters(120 total.) The last 20 of the missiles launched are special EMP warheads with a EMP radius of a half mile.

F-42s

The F-42s go to afterburners and push themselves to mach 2.5 at 150 miles from the fleet they each launch 6 Javelin AS missiles.(552) 175 of them are programmed for high altitude attack and engage thrusters to get up to 15-30 thousand feet before going into 45 degree attack mode 50 are targetted against carriers. The others are set to sea skim mode, 50 again are set against carriers the others are primarily targeted against the outer perimeter ships.

F-42s turn six and begin to speed back towards the fleet.
10 of the fighters are hit by the second wave of missiles launched as they tried to turn six.

F-40s second attack.
5 of the F-40s are taken out from the second missile barrage.
The F-42s launch 180 LR missiles into the fray. 30 of them are EMP blast warheads. An additional 50 Medium ramge IR missiles are launched as the fighters begin to disengange and pull back to the fleet.

------------------

meanwhile...
Secret IC: 4 EMP sats. are being thursted into a holding pattern over buechoria to prepare for operations

Can everyone list the sides. Who's on who's side so i know who's fighting who.

Soviet Bloc

16-06-2004, 05:23

F-57As begin advanced maneuvers to shake off the missiles, as do the DP-21s (although not to a certain extent) and the DP-02As. The F-57A's advanced anti-radar-guided missile countermeasures (i'm going to assume they're radar guided with IR back up) go to work and many of the missiles explode prematurely, just lightly covering their targetted aircraft with some shrapnel. However, seven F-57As were hit and crashed into the sea, with only two pilots making it out alive, they were rescued by some small search and rescue boats.

The DP-02As didn't fare as well and eleven were terminally hit, two maintained critical damage and one suffered some damage.

The DP-21's were able to hold their own by collectively targetting the missiles with heavy radar interference, many detonated prematurely, however a few got through, taking down seven of the DP-21s.

The EMP missiles were a nuisance... But only to the DP-02As, since the F-57As and DP-21s were actually hardened against EMPs. So were the DP-02As, but not to an extent and six of them (that were within range) lost their targetting computers and were forced to return to the carriers...

--------------

As the Anti-shipping missiles were fired and heading towards the fleet, DP-21s positioned midway began their best to jam their radars, also using selective countermeasures to confuse some of them. Of the 552, fifty two are knocked out via selective countermeasures. Six more were taken out by lucky hits from F-57A pilots.

As the remaining 494 rocketed towards the fleet, smaller ships on the perimeter (frigates, destroyers, and the like) opened up with their CIWS, which had already computed likely missile flight-paths, giving them an edge and a better chance at hitting targets...

The ARSB developed SB-SKA-56UM CIWS systems opened up, firing hot lead at targets from their twin 7-barreled 30mm main guns. Smaller guns were opening up as well, and they were firing timed-detonation missiles with heavy warheads to envelop the missiles in the blast... Of the 494 that were heading towards the fleet, 156 were shot down by CIWS. Of the 338 that were left, eleven slammed into the RNS Ripcord, ripping her apart and sinking the frigate. All hands were lost. Another six hit the RNS Lieutenant Komrosky, another frigate, nearly destroying her but by some miracle she still floated. 84 men lost their lives there. Of the remaining 321 missiles, 96 were destroyed in a coordinated timed-detonation missile firing from the RNS Stavropol, a Mackensen-class battleship. Her CIWS destroyed another seven. Eight missiles slammed into her outer hull and her bridge, severely damaging the vessel. Of the remaining 218 missiles, another sixty were destroyed in another timed-detonation missile blast. CIWS aboard the inner vessels of the fleet destroyed another forty missiles. Of the remaining 118 missiles, eighteen more were destroyed by CIWS aboard random vessels. Of the remaining 100 missiles, thirty two are the high-attack ones, of which sixteen are targetted towards the main carrier of the fleet (the others were destroyed by CIWS of other ships as they beared down). High-attack missiles were a bit easier to destroy, but did more damage if they hit. The Admiral Yterrovsk, the largest carrier present, had a lucky day, her CIWS took out ten of the sixteen with help of CIWS of nearby ships. The remaining six, however, punched holes through-out her flight deck, destroying one of the steam catapaults along with one CL-19 airborne radar aircraft and six DP-21s which were being refueled. The rest of the missiles slammed into assorted ships, only two making it through to hit a second carrier, one of the Admiral Vinogradov classes.

Total damages from Anti-shipping missiles-
Frigates- 2 sunk, two rendered useless, two moderate damange, one light damage

Destroyers- one sunk, three inoperable, one heavy damage (may be rendered inoperable), two light damage

Carriers- One moderate damage (can still launch and retrieve aircraft, but only one at a time), one light damage (flight ops suspended due to spreading fires)

Light ships- Eight destroyed, two inoperable, four moderate damage
------------------------

The F-40's second attack doesn't go very well, many of the missiles are rendered useless due to the F-57A's anti-radar-guided missile systems and the DP-21's selective jamming systems. However, twenty six aircraft are downed (eight F-57As, fourteen DP-21s, and four DP-02As). The 30 EMP blast warheads again do little, except force another sixteen DP-02As to return back to the fleet due to destroyed targetting computers.

The infrared missiles do far more damage... Taking out twenty four aircraft, mainly DP-21s which couldn't do anything against the IR warheads. Three F-57As were taking out with the attack.

---------------------

As the F-42s were now heading back towards the Belem fleet, the 47 aircraft that had split from the main group came down upon them, down hard upon them, unleashing pure hell on the unsuspecting fighters. The forty seven aircraft (29 F-57A, six DP-02A, 12 DP-21) fired a total of 141 missiles, both infrared and radar guided at the Belem fighters. F-57As dropped in low and began hunting the F-42s in packs, firing off close-range infared missiles or opening fire with their 30mm main guns (which tracked aircraft on their own and moved in a small under-fuselage pod).

----------

The third group of thirty two aircraft (twenty F-57A, 12 DP-21), which had lagged behind now throttled full and engaged the F-40s that were now pulling back, firing off 90 long range radar guided missiles with another thirty medium-range infrared.

--------------

The remnants of the largest group pulled back to the fleet... Except the forty two DP-21Gs which had joined them... Taking advantage of the lack of air defenses (the Belem fighters were now retreating), they headed towards the Belem fleet... At 180 miles, the 42 DP-21Gs fired off four AS-19 Kingfish IV anti-shipping missiles each (total- 168)... Which each held two warheads to minimize destruction from Belem CIWS systems. The missiles were targetted like so: 32 targetted against carriers and the rest targetted for destroyers and frigates. The missiles were designed to weave when they went terminal, some would even execute a top-attack maneuver, but, in any case, when the missiles reached a certain distance from target, they would split into two warheads and then impact the target.

This attack was coordinated with another sub-launched anti-shipping cruise missile strike from four Kasatonov-class ballistic missile submarines. A total of 40 PAC-56M Javelin anti-ship cruise missiles were launched, set up to hit at the exact same time as the DP-21G attacks did, in order to maximize their chances of survival and maximize destruction as the PAC-56Ms were far more destructive than the As-19's...
--------------

Aboard the RNS Admiral Ytterovsk, the Razor-class battlecarrier and flagship of the 2nd Battle Fleet...

"I want a damage report..." barked Fleet Admiral Sergei Vterov..

"Aye..." replied his second in command, Captain Alexei Navisky, "We've got some flooding, nothing major. Starboard steam catapault out. One of the aircraft elevators is out and two hangars have fires, which are about 39% contained. We lost seven aircraft in the strike..."

"What about the fleet?" The admiral said as he surveyed the thick black smoke curling off of numerous vessels...

"Not pretty, sir... Two frigates are gone, two frigates useless and three are damaged. Destroyers- One gone, three useless and three damaged. And the Admiral Polvencheckov , an Admiral Vinogradov-class, sustained light damage. Numerous small ships are out of commission or damaged..."

The Fleet Admiral shook his head... "How goes the counter-attack?"

"Not sure yet, missiles were just launched from the Kasatonov and the DP-21s."

"And what about the air battles?"

"Damage is moderate, many aircraft are down but we have a good pilot survival rate. We've got planes chasing the ones that launched the anti-ship missiles and some more engaging Belem fighters about 200 miles out..."

"Good, good... What did command say about the use of orbital weapons?"

"Denied unless we suffer some real heavy losses... Command considers the losses tonight light."

"Dammit... Any word on the land force?"

"Sketchy reports... But I've been able to gather we've got a small group on the ground in Buechoria, the transports had to land after a few crashed. Marines are on the way aboard the 9th Expeditionary Fleet. The 10th Expeditionary Fleet is nearby and can be here in a few hours if we need assistance..." returned the captain as he paged through some lengthy reports and communiques...

"Alright... Keep me informed..."

"Aye, admiral..." The captain nodded and turned on his heel, heading down to a lower level command room.

On the ground, it was carnage. Three of the helicopters went down, and the third had its rotor housing blown off and the pilot was forced to eject into enemy hands.

The troops were all almost instantly killed, though one survived.

Having got behind one of the T-90's, he fired his rocket at its weak rear armor. And thus, he turned and ran, heading for the hills as fast as he could.

The rest of the 140 men were either killed or wounded on the ground, and some surrendered having run out of ammo.

But this wasnt the main attack. This was merely a test, of the Beuchorian troops strength. They had shown great bravery and thoughtpower, but not much thought of tactics etc.

The men all said in unison "YES SIR" and loaded onto and inside of the APCs taking them to the camp. The snow nearby was melting quickly, but they were not sure of the conditions in the southern end of Buechoria...

Lt. Colonel Felix Harovitz, the ranking ARSB officer within Buechoria at the moment, walked into the command tent at the haphazardly-built ARSB 'base'. He was showered with salutes as the lieutenants, captains, and the lone major saluted him, he returned the salute...

"Major, any contact with Buechorian ground forces?" asked the colonel as he glanced to a satellite map of Buechoria, their entry route marked by a highlighted line...

"Da, colonel. We got ahold of some Buechorian army officers and they're sending a force to rendezvous with us by... " The major thought for a moment then pointed to a clearing on the map... "There... By 2300 hours. Its only about 4 miles away."

Harovitz nodded... "Any contact with command?"

"Da... But not much, why?"

"They say if they're dropping in more troops yet? We're rather under-manned right now..."

"They know that and are trying their best... One of the navy fleets heading here has a marine expeditionary force, a few thousand personnel and tanks and helicopters and whatever else the marines have with them. I have no idea about any more paratroopers. During our next scheduled contact, I'll ask about them sending an entire airborne armor division. That should help, eh?"

The colonel nodded, a slight smile on his face... "Well, who's meeting the Buechorian troops then?"

"Well, we're going to send about 200 men along with a bulk of our SIV-21s. We'll mix in some MMPWVs and about six of the T-05As. Sound good?"

"Da..." He checked his watch... "They should almost be leaving, shouldn't they?"

"Mmhmm..." The major tapped the side of a sleeping lieutenant's helmet... And the lieutenant snapped awake... "Get your men ready and head to these coordinates..." The major handed the lieutenant a bundle of maps and a disk. The lieutenant nodded and scurried out of the tent...

--------------

The lieutenant, 1st Lt. Hektor Buccholz, rounded up the two lieutenants under his command as well as the six or so sergeants. He relayed the orders to one of the lieutenants, who'd mobilize the vehicles, the other would oversee the troop deployment, and the sergeants would do what they normally did, relay orders from the lieutenants to the soldiers in an easy to understand manner.

Within minutes and the 'convoy' was under way with six T-05s, four in front and two in the rear, ten SIV-21s, and eight MMPWV-03s. Some 214 soldiers were also part of the group which would head towards the rendezvous point to meet with the Buechorian army personnel.

A half hour later and their vehicles were parked through-out the clearing, soldiers on tense watch while the SIV-21s provided air defense. They were waiting for the Buechorian personnel.

OOC: I forgot to note, the second language of Buechoria is German. I think we're the only also German speaking country that isn't fascist...

The sloppily dressed Bravo Company arrived late, as they usually did.

"Why the hell would command send us, the worst comapny in th- HEY! LOOK! I SEE'EM!" screamed one of the soldiers on the leading APC. The buzz quickly was yelled from vehicle to vehicle as the APCs stopped and the troops disembarked.

"FORM RANKS!" blustered a lieutenant. The men slowly got in formation according rank. Their weapons lazily hung at their side. Captain "Bud" as the troops called him (Benton was his real name) hopped off of the lead APC and began heading over to the group of ARSB troops and vehicles. Captain Benton shivered in the cold and zipped up his jacket before walking any closer. Finally he came face to face with 1st Lt. Hektor Buccholz.

"Ich nehme an, daß Sie müssen.. Ahem, sorry... I come from a German area here. Are you the commanding officer here?"

A forward sentry watched the Buechorian group move in... He alerted the rest of the group and lieutenant rallied his men...

The lieutenant gave a curt salute to the higher-ranking captain before offering his gloved hand, shaking the captain's. The lieutenant then pulled off his gray helmet with its transparent visor, letting it hang on his back via a small tether... He adjusted the armor over his chest and let his RSR-51 assault rifle adorned with numerous additions hang to his side, sliding its hand-guard into a small 'holder', keeping it in a ready position should he need it. You see, he was dressed in the VEPR Advanced Combat armor and information system... All of the ARSB men were standing behind him in a haphazard configuration, much like the Buechorian soldiers... Each one was wearing the advanced VEPR system, with its extensive armor systems, the visored-helmets, heavy load-bearing systems, and their twin-barreled RSR-51 assault rifles hanging to their sides.

"Yes, I'm the current commanding officer, 1st Lieutenant Hektor Buccholz. Its a bit chilly out, no?" The lieutenant looked as though he was in light BDU's, but in all reality, he was probably warmer than the captain, thanks to the VEPR system he was wearing and its advanced thermal properties...

"Anyways... On to business... What's the plan?"

Buechoria

17-06-2004, 04:51

"Yes very chilly.. Er, anyway.." The captain slowly turned his head to his idle troops.

"Please excuse my men.. their tired and haven't been in action for so long. Anyway, yes, onto business. My commanding officer, General L. Harris has given me orders to lead you, the rest of your men and your vehicles to a new camp. We have set up accomidations and a top of the line radio station for tracking your own, and enemy movement." The captain took of breath before he continued "We had a brush with enemy Special Forces. Lost about 200 good men. Now, without further adou, if you'll follow my APC's, we'll bring you to the camp."

Captain "Bud" was a cheerful man most of the time, but was impatient and clumsy in some cases. He wanted things done the moment they were ordered...

The lieutenant nodded... "Alright, lead the way, sir..."

He turned around and circled his hand in the air... "Saddle up!" He pulled his helmet on and over his head, locking the visor in place... He pulled himself up onto the front armor of the lead SIV-21 and walked up to the commander's hatch, hopping in, closing the hatch behind him...

The rest of the men climbed in their IFVs and APCs as their diesel engines came to life, filling the area with a distinctive rumble...

As soon as the Buechorian APCs moved out, the ARSB vehicles would follow...

OOC 2:I hope the damn server doesn't gobble up my post again. remember kids copy and paste saves!

The fleet CIWS systems prepare to fire against incoming targets. of the 172 Kingfish 150 are destroyed by fleet defense on there way in and 30 of the Javelins are taken out.

OOC: before i post damage can you just explain how the 2 warhead system works? is it two seperate missiles? or just one explosive behind the other.

Soviet Bloc

17-06-2004, 05:44

OOC- My fleet is very spread out at the moment, well, except the inner portions, otherwise they kind of span in relatively wide area. Thats how we were able to shoot down many of the anti-shipping missiles, they were exposed to more CIWS fire (due to the spread out fleet).

Anyways, the dual warhead system works like this:

Its basically two smaller missiles each with considerable punch (more than the As-19 Kingfish VIs). What happens, when it hits terminal stage, the warhead splits open and the two missiles fire out, now the CIWS will probably lock onto the first one (since its systems will read it as the main missile) and open fire on it. They seperate so one is about fifteen feet higher than the other and at an angle of about 36 degrees from each other. That way, if the first warhead(actually its a missile) (the one higher) is destroyed, the CIWS will have to maneuver too much to destroy the second one, either meaning more missiles will get through (since the CIWS is distracted into taking out the second missile portion) or the second missile hits while the CIWS is still maneuvering to fire or that its already forgotten about the second missile and begun engaging other missiles.

If both missiles make it through, they'll usually hit in the same rough area as to maximize damage. One will hit and do heavy damage and second will hit 15 or so feet away, making the first hit worse, while spreading the damage.

At 50,000 feet, the largest aerial armada ever flew in over the ocean. Several thousand huge transport aircraft, 6,000 in fact, supported by three quarters of the Kazakhstanian airforce. The huge armada flew in, costing several hundred billion to fly but who the hell cared anyway.

Any fighter that attacked would get killed long before it could touch the aircraft.

The huge armada flew towards Beuchoria, in fact, towards the least defended airfield on the island, close to the coast...

The sniper which had retreated to the hills had been observing the troops withdrawing from the battle scene for days. H ehad identified their commander, even seen his stripes and ID papers through his scope.

Now, he was going to take him out.

He lay behind a rock, peered through his scope, centred his crosshairs on the head above the rank paper and pulled the trigger.

His huge rifle coughed a bullet with minimum sound through its long silencer, and almsot no muzzle flash was exhausted.

The huge .50 cal bullet soared through the air and headed right towards the commanders right temple....

18-06-2004, 03:06

Specialist Alexei Kroviensky leaned back in the chair, hefting his boots up on to the chair next to him... He put his hands behind his head and let his head fall back... He liked this job... He had to do nothing but watch a screen linked to one of the mobile radars... He'd get a few aircraft, but they were always Buechorian military jets or airliners or whatever the hell they usually sent up there... This same station, located in the small ARSB encampment, was also connected, via radio transmission, to a Buechorian radar station, so he'd have a long range view of things plus his short range, but precise mobile radar...

He slowly closed his eyes when the audible tone warned him of something on the screen... He shrugged it off. He sat there for a minute... The warning still played... "Damn thing..." He said as he sat up and looked at the screen... His eyes grew wide... "Holy Shit..." He quickly reached over and picked up the receiver hanging on the wall nearby... He punched in three numbers... "Colonel? Uhh, yeah. You better come down to the mobile radar and see what I'm seeing..." He hung the 'phone' up and stared at the screen... It was a huge mass of... aircraft. He picked up his radio headphones and mic and began speaking into it, asking if they were Buechorian... He tried every Buechorian radio frequency they used, but there wasn't a reply...

He hung the headphones up... He quickly typed in some commands to the connected computer... It showed the targets were about six hundred miles away... "That can't be right... This radar is only effective out to two-hundred..." He said to himself... Then common sense kicked in... "The Buechorian radar..."

At that moment, the Lt. Colonel Felix Harovitz burst in... "What's going on?!"

The specialist pointed his finger at the blob of aircraft on the second radar screen... "I don't know if their radar has gone insane, that's a massive flock of birds, or if its a helluva lot of aircraft, but its huge... And moving fast. It could be aliens too, ya never know?"

The specialist smiled some... It quickly faded... "Anyways, I would've been able to identify at least how many, but its Buechorian radar, and, as far as I know, its a little outdated. And their computers that are sending the signal are out-dated, but if we were getting a direct signal from the radar dish and it was being forwarded through our computers, I'd be able to probably identify them..."

The colonel gave the specialist a hard look... "Well... Call in some aircraft off of one of the carriers... See if they'll take a look."

"Yes sir..."

He started to turn but then stopped... "Also, have the air defense units mobilize and prepare for possible hostile aircraft..."

"Yes sir!" Alexei shouted as he watched the lieutenant colonel exit the small trailer... He picked up a radio that was connected to the air defense SIV-21s in the group and gave them the ready orders...

Next, he set up a satellite uplink into the ARSB Defensive/Operations Inter-Operability Net via DEFSAT-15 in geo-stationary earth orbit... He quickly contacted the Admiral Kushevensky, the Adm. Vinogradov-class carrier of the 10th Expeditionary Fleet. The commanding officer agreed to send one unarmed DP-21R reconaissance unit up to take a look, it would stay quite a bit away and rely on its own radar to determine the enemies' strength and what units they had...

Specialist Alexei sighed and leaned forward... Gazing at the radar screen...
--------------------

Within fifteen minutes of Alexei's call, a DP-21R reconaissance version was airborne. She was outfitted with her standard EW suite as well as four under-wing pods of advanced long-range sensor equipment. She had a paltry two medium range radar-guided missiles as a last resort and maintained no cannon, but she'd be far enough away that the enemy fighters probably wouldn't even know she was there, although the DP-21 could see them perfectly...

Within a half-hour she was within radar range of the outer-most aircraft... She continued to move closer until she could the largest group in her radar 'eyes'.

The radar operator's response to the aircraft on radar: "Damn..."

Radar information was then relayed back to the carrier which then sent the same information to the mobile radar station in Buechoria. Advanced computers read the radar material and determined a vast number of the aircraft to be transports...

----------------

General Yuriy Puolyinov read the report of the massive amounts of transport aircraft... It had been sent immediately from the 10th Fleet's carrier. The sighting had been about 14 minutes ago. "Well, dammit, ain't it obvious?! Its a fucking airborne invasion... And what did the computer say, some 6000 aircraft? At 70 men per aircraft, that's 420,000 men... Of course it won't be that many, say 200,000... With the rest being equipment... "

"Yes, but how could we know its not a massive humanitarian food mission just flying over Buechoria?" was Stefan Johannsen's reply. Stefan a foreign-born man who was now an under-secretary in the defense department...

"Like hell... Anyways, if we still want a chance at defending Buechora, we better act now before those guys spread through that country like wildfire... " the general angrily replied...

Premier Chlevenkov pondered for a moment... "Who's aerial armada is this?"

"We don't know... We're thinking it could be a retaliation by Sino or an attempt by Belem... Or it could be Kazakhstania..."

"Can we shoot them down?" the Premier asked.

"The only aircraft we had within range was a DP-21R, reconaissance plane. The rest were all deployed engaging Belem naval assets... We have very few actual air defense units in Buechoria, and they were a few hundred miles away..." the general said, glaring at Stefan, who should've ended up in the humanitarian services department, not the DOD.

The Premier closed his eyes... "Well, can we get through Belem's defenses and land troops in Buechoria?"

"I have no idea... I'm sure we could with Belem constantly being harassed by us. Besides, his navy and air forces are all concetrated in some bay on the northern end of the island. "

Chlevenkov nodded, he then asked, "What about Kazakhstania?"

Yuriy shrugged, "Well, we're supposed to be in an alliance with each other. And its rather unfortunate where life takes us... But I doubt they'll engage us... I've informed our airmen and soldiers not to fire on any Kazakhstanian aircraft or men unless they open fire first..."

Chlevenkov thought for a few minutes... "Alright, I want two airborne assault corps in that country by the end of the week. That's 60,000 total troops and with their equipment, they should be a pretty good match against who-ever's units these are... Also, figure out who's aircraft and men these are... I'd like to know. And about the airborne corps deployment program, I want them all sent in three phases, the first being the entire 7th Airborne Corps, and the other two being parts of the 11th. Alright?"

"Yes sir..."

------------------

Planning then began on the ARSB airborne troops deployment... The thousands of personnel were called up and their aircraft were prepared for anything...

One entire expeditionary fleet was tasked with posting about halfway between their launch point and their landing point in Buechoria. The exped. fleet would launch even more fighters and tankers to escort and refuel the ARSB transports and their escorts. The entire naval group already there would harass the Belem forces and keep their fighters subdued. A few extra fighters, during the last hour, would move over to their landing zone to provide extra cover...

1 Frigate was hit by two missiles destroying the powder room and sinking the ship.
1 Cruiser hit by 2 missiles had most of the bridge and computer equipment destroyed. combat and nav down.

----------------------
OOC: this attack is kinda confusing so im posting it in one step for simplicity just tell me if you want to engage at any parts.

IC: 30 F-42s and 15 F-40s are launched from the fleet. They are flying at approx. 50 above the ocean(for the natural radar jamming effect of waves) and have radar and radios off. There target is the primary exped. fleet between the Belem fleet and the main SB fleet.

Right before the approx. range where they would first be picked up by radar the first of the EMP sats engages thrusters and enters the atmoshpere and bursts in a 20 mile radius pattern over the expeditionary fleet.

Upon the success of that the fighters will launch missiles once they get into range in a few minutes launch 210 Javelins then turn six. Before the Javelins enter into attack mode and increase to full speed the second EMP sat will enter the atmosphere and detonate over the fleet.

-------------

Secret IC: 6 more EMP sats are being thrusted into position over Buechoria.

2 Imperial fleets are being rerouted to head to buechoria eta. 3-5 days

18-06-2004, 06:39

OOC- Well, you never posted damages about the aircraft attacks... Anyways... I'm engaging the aircraft, just before the EMP deal.
---------------

Aboard the bridge of the RNS -Whatever- (I usually just put new names in there anyways...)...

A lieutenant stared at a screen, a questionable look on his face... "Sir, you have to take a look at this..."

The admiral turned around... "What is it?"

"Latest views from MILSAT 15." (Views from enhanced images, satellite radar, and infrared systems)

The admiral meandered through the computer 'islands' in the bridge to the satellite uplink terminal... "Hmm?"

The lieutenant circled a portion of the screen with a highlighter tool (on the computer)... "SATCOM relayed this to me... You know what it is? Where it is?"

The admiral gazed at the screen... "No idea... What?"

The lieutenant then looked up at the admiral... "Its apparantly a bunch of aircraft, they were seen taking off from the Belem fleet. No definate numbers yet... But they're apparantly in a holding pattern just outside our radar range... As if waiting for something..." At that instant, a flashing screen came across the terminal... "What the hell?" It showed new data...

The admiral looked nervous... "What is that!?"

The lieutenant read the data... "Its a satellite, just re-entered the atmosphere above our heads... Either that... Or its a nuke... But its telemetry is wrong for a nuke. It must be a satellite..."

The admiral took all the data into his mind... He summoned his second in command, a rear admiral...

"Strevsky, we have quite a few aircraft on a holding pattern just outside our radar range. They're most likely waiting for something, what do you propose we should do?"

The rear admiral, Mikhail Strevsky, looked puzzled... "I don't know, engage?"

The admiral thought for a minute... "We only have 50 aircraft in this fleet... And not all of those are combat aircraft."

"Remember, we have DP-21s..." Mikhail informed him.

The admiral nodded his head... "Fine, get Fleet Air Op. Command informed and have them send fighters to engage..."

"Aye..." The rear admiral saluted and briskly headed down to the air operations command room...

--------------------

In ten minutes, twenty DP-21A/Bs were heading towards were heading towards the Belem fighters, escorted by twelve F-57As. They were spread out, but still in a tight enough group to make the enemy believe there were more of them...

Lieutenant Gorovich spoke into his radio, he was the weapons officer aboard DP-21B 617/22... "Shit, I can't get a lock-on, they're too low..."

Commander Heijl glanced over his shoulder, he was the pilot... "Dammit, that means we have to move in closer... Right?"

The lieutenant thought a moment... "No... We can just plug in the GPS coordinates to their rough location and then have the infrared seeker warhead hit them." He then proceeded to relay that information to the rest of the DP-21A/B weapons officers...

Within minutes, each one fired three, sending 60 CFAM XRAAMs towards the Belem fighters. They would head to the rough target area using GPS then turn to infrared for the final trip into the Belem fighters' fuselages... Lt. Gorovich loved the ARSB's technology.

The group of aircraft then remained in a holding pattern at about 12000 ft altitude... And what's even better, the Belem fighters didn't have their radars on, meaning they wouldn't see the missiles coming and couldn't react... Too bad the ARSB pilots didn't know this, or they'd be out there in a heart-beat.

--------------------
--------------------

Suddenly, a blast ruptured the sky above the 9th Expeditionary Fleet...

The electronics on eight ships immediately went out, leaving them dead in the water... The eight ships were all older destroyers.

Also ruined were the targetting systems on six DP-02As which were stationed aboard the fleet's lone carrier.

-------------

The admiral turned and looked at the lieutenant who was pounding his fist on one of the non-essential computers... "What the hell was that?!"

The lieutenant looked up... "Must've been EMP... We've lost all non-essential systems. And I tried to contact all ships via radio, eight ships didn't respond..."

The admiral muttered something under his breath... "That's what that satellite was... Anyways, what systems do we still have?"

"Well, thanks to our extensive hardening efforts, we've got most of our wartime systems online... Including CIWS, thank God."

The admiral sighed in relief... "That's good... What about the eight ships?"

"They're all the older destroyers... Well, they were vital but old and hadn't been hardened... "

The admiral nodded and looked out across the flight deck, he could see three of the destroyers, they floated aimlessly, a few smaller boats meandered up and men could be seen getting off the derelict ships... "I suppose we'll have to tow them home?"

"Most likely... Or, if those fighters fire anti-shipping missiles... Set them up as decoys..." the lieutenant shrugged, he wasn't a strategist and had wondered why the admiral oftened asked these things of him...

The admiral thought a minute.. "Ya know, that is a good idea... Because, I don't think anything on those ships is worth saving... They were going to be scrapped anyways... Say, have any missiles been launched?"

The lieutenant looked at one of the radar screens... "Nyet."

"Good..." The admiral then picked up a radio and had six transport tugs that were with the fleet tow four of the ships in a line with their sides facing the expected attack direction. The rest were towed through out the fleet to protect other vessels... The admiral smiled to himself... He knew that lieutenant always came up with ingenious ideas, and best of all, the lieutenant never realized it...

The huge aerial armada picked up the incoming radar. The two escorting aircraft, C-135's with ECM activated their jammers, jamming the radar of the fighters and ground radar.

The escorts also picked up the scouts, but did not engage as it was a SB scout.

They continued to fly in, and flopped over into Beuchorian airspace.

18-06-2004, 22:15

OOC: woops sorry bout that. ill work that out. my next post will have that once i go over the previous posts.
question: how many sats do you have over head and are they geosync(relatively stationary over Buechoria).

IC:
Once the pilots see the vapors of the missiles incomign the F-40s break into action pulling up and increasing there speed to draw the missiles away from the F-42s and activate there radar.

The f-42s break formation and spread out more to make it more difficult for missiles to get an IR track.

----------
Most of the missiles head towards the more dominant heat source which were the F-40s. 9 f-40s are are taken down by incoming missiles and 6 F-42s are knocked out.

The 6 F-40s launch 8 LR range missiles each(48) and then make a break towards the fleet.

The 24 F-42s which were still continuing on there path at a much higher speed now for there flight level(about mach-1.2) launch 144(all sea skimmer mode) AS missiles against the expeditionary fleet. They turn back towards the fleet using there counter measures as they hit the after burners and climb. The wingleader switches his radio on a gives the go code to the fleet.

About a minute later the second sat breaks its orbit and begins to plummet into the atmosphere over the SB fleet give or take 1-2 minutes before/after the missiles enter attack mode and speed up(about 50 miles out from the targets.)

---------------
In Belem....

The first wave of reinforcements for the fleet is prepared to take off. 300 fighters take off from Belem airbases(half f-40 f42.) An additional 40 B-52s take off loaded down with Javelin AS missiles.

19-06-2004, 03:22

OOC- We have two sattelites in geosynchrous (I hate that word) orbit over Buechoria. And another two that make periodic passes. However, if any Belem satellites move near them or are deemed hostile in intent, we have Anti-satellite equipment.

-----------------------

Alarms went off in the cockpits of the F-57A Molniya's and their DP-21 counterparts.

The F-57As roar ahead and begin taking on the missiles. Thier 30mm cannons are actually able to shoot a few down, since they're radar guided and heading towards the more stationary DP-21s. Otherwise, their automatic anti-radar guided missile countermeasures begin messing with the missiles' guidance systems, causing many to fall into the sea. However, of the 10 F-57A Molniya's, three are taking out and one is damaged from shrapnel from one of the birds' destruction.

The DP-21s meanwhile continue to focus their selective jammers on the incoming missiles, disabling a few. At the last minute, they hit evasive maneuvers, but it wasn't enough, of the twenty DP-21s, eight bit the dust with one receiving heavy wing damage.

The force limps back to the fleet...
-------------

The admiral stood in the bridge of the RNS -Whatever-, the flagship and carrier of the 9th Expeditionary Fleet. Immediately, a noisier-than-hell alarm filled the bridge... The admiral spun around... "Lieutenant?"

The lieutenant looked up from a radar display... "Sir, missiles in bound, tracking one hundred forty-fourr. Estimated time to impact- Two minutes..."

The admiral turned his head and looked at the four destroyers, broadside to where the anti-shipping missiles were coming from... "Lets see if you're idea works..." He quickly sounded fleet alarms and klaxons rang across the fleet. CIWS systems swung around to face the threat and their computers ran preliminary flight patterns of the missiles...

The admiral watched with field glasses... He could see the dots appear over the horizon... He picked up a radio: "BRACE FOR IMPACT!" He knew he should've went for the safety shelter built into the bridge... But he had a good feeling about this... A very good feeling... And if the lieutenant's idea didn't work... Well, he'd maybe perish with his ship... He didn't care anymore... "Come on, you sons of bitches... Try your fucking best to get past this..." He smiled... He glared at the incoming missiles...

The missiles continued closer... Long-range CIWS systems began engaging the missiles before they could impact anything, knocking down a couple. The admiral grinned as explosions rippled through the air as missiles slammed into the hulls of the six derelict destroyers the EMP had wasted before. Of the 144 missiles, 98 of them hit the six destroyers, which had been towed into place. Of the remaining 46, another 16 hit the other 2 derelict destroyers which had been positioned near the carrier to protect it. Of the remaining 30, CIWS shot down a respectale 18. 12 missiles impacted a total of four ships.

1 Frigate hit with four missiles- Destroyed
1 Frigate hit with two missiles- moderate damage, fire control and communications out
2 frigates hit with one missile each- light damage, one's engine was disable
2 destroyers hit with one missile each- light damage, helipad on one destroyed as well as its HVN-02 ASW helicopter
1 cruiser hit with two missiles- Overall moderate damage- Hull integrity at stake and being evacuated...

The second EMP sat did little but fry some secondary war-time electronics... And those that weren't protected enough or their hardening failed. One HVC-03 Transport helicopter was rendered useless and one of the returning DP-21s crashed into the sea after the EMP wave ruined its flight avionics. Its pilot was killed in the crash, the EW officer survived but later drowned.
------------------

Fleet Admiral Serj Malakian sat in the briefing room aboard the RNS Chlevenkov II, the Razor-class battle carrier and flagship of the 2nd Battle Fleet... "What's the status on the 9th Expeditionary Fleet?"

Admiral Mikhail Dmitrikov looked up... "They are... Receiving an ass-kicking so to say... They've already had two EMP bombs destroy numerous things, including aircraft, helicopters, and eight destroyers... And, they've lost twelve aircraft to enemy fire. Along with 6 DP-02s which were rendered useless in the EMP strikes... That's eighteen aircraft out of fifty two that are out of commission... They're dangerously low on air power and ship power. Last report was ten minutes ago and they had just received a hundred and some anti-shipping missiles rammed up their ass... Luckily, the fleet commander arranged the derelict ships to protect from the anti-shipping misiles. But a dozen or so missiles still made it through the ships and CIWS. I think two ships are lost and another six or so are damaged."

The fleet admiral took in the facts... "Well, what do we do?"

"Well, I'm proposing a massive strike to NAVCOMM involving alot of our assets in a massive, coordinated strike... And I want that strike to begin tonight. I also propose we begin heading towards the 9th fleet's position, they won't last much longer alone, even if the reports of airborne reinforcements is true... I've given orders to the fleet air arm to prepare for action..."

"Alright, get it done..."

The admiral nodded and smiled, he turned to a rear admiral and nodded to him. The rear admiral nodded and left the room to contact NAVCOMM and the fleet air arm command.

-------------

That afternoon, the entire Soviet Bloc fleet stationed near Buechoria began moving towards the 'stranded' 9th Expeditionary Fleet. The 10th Expeditionary fleet, which had been on its way stopped and began escorting logistical groups to and from the main fleet. By tommorow (RL time), they'd be with the 9th Exped. Flt.

-------------
Meanwhile...

A massive strike was in the works... It'd begin tonight...

At Rostov Naval Air Station, sixty-four F-225A stealth precision strike bombers took off and adjusted their heading for the Belem fleet...

About forty minutes into their flight another thirty F-225As took off from the Chlevenkov II and her associate carriers in the 2nd Battle Fleet. They were now heading towards the Belem fleet, flying nap of the earth, or just above the waves. This had a radar-jamming type effect as well as allowing the radar aboard the navy ships to not even pick them up, due to curve of the earth and so on... The F-225As had radar... But it wasn't typical radar, it was a radar/infrared/image enhancement system beamed down from a satellite in orbit. It gave them a perfect view ahead...

Soon, they were within target range... Radio's were off and the F-225As, naturally being stealth fighters, didn't have radars on because they didn't have any... The Belem navy wouldn't know they were there unless they had satellites to pick them up, which they didn't... As far as ARSB NavComm knew.

The two groups of F-225As came in from different directions, one from the east, the other from the south...

The pilots each waited... and waited... Until in each aircraft, a flurry of button tapping could be heard and each F-225A's six As-19 Kingfish VIs were armed...

Naval Commander Alexei Stirmovko grinned... He was in the lead F-225A of the first group. He programmed the targets into the missiles' flight computers and opened the weapon's doors... He gently depressed the fire button and then held it down. The aircraft jolted as the six missiles dropped from the internal bays and their rocket engines ignited, blasting them through the air and towards the Belem fleet... "Take that... Assholes." He said, rather loudly, to himself...

Across the skies around the Belem fleet, each and every F-225A executed the same maneuver, each launching six As-19 Kingfish VIs. A grand total of 564 missiles were now screaming towards the Belem fleet, ready to wreak havoc. They were coming in from two different directions, meaning CIWS would be overwhelmed.

The F-225As immediately turned six and headed back for their respective launch points. The carrier-borne aircraft required no refueling, but the land-launched ones did. And they received it from some CL-17 airborne tankers on their way back.
-----------------

As the missile launches were confirmed, four Kasatanov-class ballistic missile submarines each launched twelve PAC-56S Javelin anti-shipping cruise missiles with their double warheads at the belem fleet. A total of 48 of them were en route. Heading for the Belem fleet from the south.

-----------------

Numerous guided missile frigates and other missile boats began firing their PAC-56S Javelin anti-shipping cruise missiles. A total of 160 of them were fired at the Belem fleet... This about exhausted their missiles on board, but they'd soon be replenished because a transport convoy was coming in tonight.

------------------

As missile launch was confirmed, twelve Soviet Bloc Tu-95 heavy bombers took off from one of Soviet Bloc's foreign naval air stations. Each one was carrying four PAC-56A Javelin Anti-shipping Cruise missiles. Within range, they opened fire, a total of 48 PAC-56A Javelins were fired from Belem's fleet north flank. The Tu-95s were well out of Belem radar range when they fired and were escorted by eighteen F-57A Molniyas.

------------------

A single Kasatonov from the 9th Expeditionary Fleet fired eight PAC-56A Javelin anti-shipping cruise missiles at the Belem fleet from its south flank.

------------------

Eight An-225 Mriya modified transports lumbered through the air to the east of the Belem fleet. Their huge airframes were ideal for carrying massive amounts of ordinance... And they did. They had six PAC-56A Javelin cruise missiles on each aircraft. They were fired within range. A total of 48 PAC-56S Javelin Anti-shipping cruise missiles began heading for the Belem fleet. They were escorted by twenty F-87 Zvezda fighters.

------------------

This strike was coordinated to hit at roughly the same time... In about a 12 minute span all -too lazy to count, its your job, lol- missiles will arrive at the Belem fleet. There's NO way in hell that Belem's CIWS could possibly engage or destroy even half of these... Because, the servos, hydraulics, and every other moving part in the CIWS system will have fried because there were too many targets to engage. Plus, they're coming from different directions, maximizing destruction potential because the CIWS would have to maneuver too much to engage different targets coming in from multiple directions, meaning alot more missiles will hit...

ooc:from the air attack i missed posting losses for it was about 17% of the missiles hit targets.

(this is before your attack on my fleet)

IC: 4 F-42s take off from the fleet there flight path takes them directly above the fleet. They are each loaded 1 with Satkill missile each. The targets for each have been preprogrammed to intercept the 2 SB satelites over the fleet. At approx. 80 thousand feet they roll over onto there sides and open the doors to there internal bay where an extremely fat missile sits. The missile rolls out of the bay causing the plane to jump a few hundred feet. The boosters on the missiles fire pointing upwards towards space and on an intercept against the 2 SB sats(2 satkillers for each sat.)

After the missiles are launched the fleet begins to relocate 100 miles west of there current position.

OOC: I noticed your fleet attack has the use of sat operated radar. So im holding off on posting damage from the fleet attack to allow you to correct for the fact(if the missiles succeed) the sats are taken out.

Belem

19-06-2004, 04:04

OOC: also you launched missiles from surface ships whats there range to my fleet?

Soviet Bloc

19-06-2004, 04:23

OOC- They were cruise missiles so they could've been 1200 or more miles away. But we're about 400 miles away from your fleet and closing towards the 9th Expeditionary fleet which is 250 miles from your fleet.
-----------

Aboard the twin satellites... Sensors immediately track the incoming objects...

At a set range from the satellites, each one deploys a smaller sattelite type object... A decoy... It creates a massive amount of heat as well as a large radar and visual signature (after it deploys fabric 'wings') The satellites then hit their main thrusters and adjust orbit.

Within minutes the four missiles each impact the two decoys... The satellites register the change and return to their geo-sync orbit... Each satellite had three decoys and two EMP systems. (These were hard-core military intelligence satellites...)

----------------
OOC2-
Even without the sats, the F-225As would've still completed their mission so the attack would've still occured since the missiles don't rely on the satellites. THe F-225As were just using them to make sure the targets were still there, otherwise, they could've relied on stills taken earlier...

And about relocating, can't do. You wouldn't see the missiles until they were two hundred miles away (due to curve of the earth and the fact they're fifty-sixty feet over the water). So, when you see them, you'll just get your ships turned around and then they'll hit. Even if you saw them, you'd only get a few miles before they hit, and they'd still hit you with search and track systems.

Wait, if you meant your anti-sat missiles... Well, even then, by the time we got to firing positions you'd probably be on you're way so the missiles would still hit with no problem.

"This is your captain speaking, we have reached our crusing altitude of 50,000 feet. You may, at this time, remove your seatbelts, thoguh it is recommended you keep them on. We will be arriving at the Rejune Islands in about 4 hours now. Lunch will be served in about 15 minutes. Once again, thank you for flying Buechorian Air and we hope you enjoy your flight."

The captain put the radio down and pressed a few buttons before easing back into his chair.

"Mike, what's the reading on that fue- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" The captain yelled as he pointed directly at the windshield of the cockpit. The captain attempted evasive manuevers, but ti was too late - The plane was headed straight for the lead planes of the armada....

The first wave of missiles heads towards the fleet and Fleet Defense guns swivel into position hotshot systems on the perimeter begin to blanket the horizon with broadbeam lasers. Half the missiles are knocked out of the air from the laser defense. Once the remaining missiles past the cone of laser defense Steel Wall guns open fire and begin to paint the sky with bullets.

106 of the missiles penetrate defenses

South Sector Defense open fired on the incoming sub launched missiles knocking out 44 of the incomings.

From the fleet 120 of the incoming missiles are taken out.

38 of the incomings from the Bombers are taken out.

---------------------

8 destroyers are hit by 5 missiles and are sunk.
5 Frigates hit by 5 missiles and are sunk.
4 Cruisers hit by 7 missiles and are sunk.

7 Destroyers hit by 4 missiles moderate to heavy damage
2 Battleships hit by 4 missiles moderate to heavy damage. engines knocked out on one.
4 cruisers hit by 3 missiles. moderate to heavy damage. radar and CIWS knocked out on 2

3 transports hit by 1 missile light damage.
5 Frigates hit by 1 missile light to moderate damage.
3 Destroyers hit by 2 missiles. light to moderate damage. radar and conning tower taken out on one most likely will be scuttled.
2 Carriers hit by 2 missiles. 1 carrier was forced to turn off half its turbines due to damage to the reactor.

-----------------
Retaliation against fleet.

The fleet launches 160 Javelin SL(sea launched version basically same missile as air launched except its 5 feet longer for extra fuel. so range for sea skim mode is about 300 and high attack range is about 500-600) in high attack mode targeted against primarily the lead ships in your fleet. only 20 are targetted against carriers.

Once the fleet comes to within 300 miles of my fleet the fleet will launch 500 Javelins in sea skim mode.

4 more F-40s are launched from the fleet with Satkill missiles and attempt to take out the 2 sats they missed the last time.

-------------------------
air attack by reinforcement about an hour later.

two of the EMP satelites break orbit and enter into the atmoshpere prepared to do a controled 30 mile burst each over the western half of the SB fleet.

15 mins laters....

At approx 300 miles away from the SB fleet The reinforcement fighters and the bomber group launch there missile payloads in high attack mode.
The B-52s launch there payload of 42 Javelins each(1680 missiles total) first and turn back headed towards Belem.
The F-42s fire next launching 4 missiles each(600) against the SB fleet then turn six and begin overflys of the fleet to prepare to land.
Finally the F-40s which were loaded with only 2 Javelins each launch theres(300 missiles.) The F-40s keep a holding pattern at about 350 miles out to protect the retreating bombers and F-42s from enemy fighter counter attacks.

Total missiles launched: 2580(all high attack mode for the range)
Targetted directly against the carriers: 280
The rest are targetted as evenly as possible against the other ships present in the fleet.

21-06-2004, 06:36

OOC- FINALLY! Ugh... This post isn't as detailed or as good as my original...

Well, I'm gonna have to say there's some godmodding here... A B-52 cannot carry 42 anti-shipping missiles, let alone 42 of any missile... My Tu-95 bombers only carry 4, but those are cruise missiles. So, I'm gonna have to ignore that part.

And I can go on and on about how my F-225As are stealthy and shit, like I had done in my original post, but to hell with it... I did say I was going to ignore half of the fighter-launched missiles, because, you didn't specify how they were coming, how they were avoiding detection and what not, so you would've had to have allowed me to strike them... So I cut it in half as a rough estimate of how many you'd get off if hounded by my fighters...

Also, we fired 800-some missiles, there's no way only 150 (rough estimate) made it through your defenses... That means, you're CIWS shot down 7 of every 8 missiles fired. Our CIWS only achieved about 50% rate, which is still a bit of a godmod... And that's including our derelict destroyer shield, the timed-explosive missiles, and DP-21 selective radar jamming...

Ugh... Now to the damn RP (this was more joyous in the original post)...
--------------
9th Expeditionary Fleet (the only fleet within range because the main fleet was stopped early in case it might have to support ground forces in Buechoria, pending Kazakhstania's invasion attempt.
--

The lieutenant stared at the satellite uplink... He was worried to say the least... "Uhh... Sir..."

The admiral spun around... "Now what is it?"

The lieutenant couldn't take his eyes off the screen... "I'm watching a real-time video feed... And their fleet's just launched..." He inspects the screen some... "160 anti-shipping missiles..."

"What?! How the hell can they launch that many?! I thought we wasted their fleet..."

"So did I, sir, but the satellites don't lie..." The lieutenant shrugged, quickly glancing to the admiral...

"Shit... Can you figure out their heading or their attack mode?"

"Well, they've gained altitude, so that means they're probably in top-attack mode... "

The admiral dropped his head some and looked out across the flight deck... He sighed... "We aren't gonna last much longer... Those missiles are going to get the best of us, I'm afraid..."

The lieutenant made some odd noise... And glanced around the near empty bridge.

The admiral thought for a minute and looked to the lieutenant... "I want you to send a message to our signal corps boys... Have them raise the old signal flags... And then relay it to the entire fleet..."

The lieutenant thought for a minute then spoke up, "Aye, sir, what do you want them to put up?"

The admiral turned and glanced out across the fleet... "On the main beam, have them put F-U-C-K... Second beam have them put Y-O-U... I want to see those flags on every ship in this fleet..."

The lieutenant smiled and sent the message... Within minutes, the admiral watched as the brightly colored and different flags were raised across the fleet... The admiral grinned... If Belem ships ever came by to inspect the damage, he knew a few hulls would stay on the water, therefore, they'd get his message...

He turned to the lieutenant... "How long until impact?"

The lieutenant glanced to the computer... "About a minute and a half... We should head down for cover..."

The admiral processed the information... He knew his time hadn't come to die with the fleet... "Alright, let's head down there..." The two then left the bridge with whatever other personnel were up there and headed down to a lower level.
--------------

Then, hell rained down on the poor men of the 9th Expeditionary Fleet... Their chances were slim, and to make it worse... Of the incoming 160 missiles... A total of 37 were shot down... With no help from the selective jamming of the DP-21s or any other 'trick'.

Seventeen of those anti-shipping missiles slammed into a single frigate... Flashboiling her deck, her hull, and her crew. Anything left of her was strewn through the ocean...

Men aboard the destroyer, RNS Trivovskoberg, named after a district capital in the ARSB, had little time to react before fourteen missiles punctured her deck, shearing off the bow and the stern, rupturing her deck... The explosive gases within her hull created so much pressure, the lungs of many sailors collapsed. The hull of a ship wasn't meant to take that much pressure, one half of the hull disintegrated into a million big and small pieces... A large chunk of the hull ripped through a nearby frigate's bridge, tearing a chunk of the superstructure out and collapsing the rest on top of it. Another large piece wedged itself in the frigate's hull... The destroyer began to roll on its side, flames and smoke billowing out of the massive holes in her deck. Her tower and communications mast hit the frigate's superstructure and tore it off before the destroyer's superstructure caught on the frigate's deck, pulling it over as well... A few man floated in the water... Until they could no longer defend against the forces that pulled them under, they drowned...

Twelve missiles hit a tanker ship that was refueling one of the fleet's destroyers... The twelve missiles slammed into the ship's deck, penetrating it and igniting the oil and fuel below, creating a massive fireball. The fireball was so intense it flashboiled the paint and outer metal of the destroyer attached to it and ripped off one of its turrets and sending its transport helicopter tumbling into the water, its rotors and side melted inwards. The explosion also shattered the tanker, creating an immensely massive amount of shrapnel. One of the large hatches that covered one of its fuel tanks landed on the deck of the RNS -Whatever-, the fleet's flagship, smashing a DP-21 parked on the flight-deck. It's hull split apart, tearing through the parked destroyer and it quickly sank to the ocean bottom, leaving an ever-expanding pool of flaming oil and fuel. Her entire crew perished, as well as the destroyer's crew. The destroyer received about ten missiles, which mutilated her decks, collapsing her one side and causing her inernal structure to cave in on itself.

A nearby frigate was having a bad day... Ten missiles impacted her small frame and literally tore her to pieces... Her crew perished in the ensuing fireball.

One frigate, was having a very good day. Except for its ASW helicopter pilot, who was taking off in order to prevent the complete destruction of the fleet's ASW abilities... The lone missile aimed for this frigate, crashed through the HVN-02's rotors and impacted its fuselage, detonating... The fireball enveloped the helicopter and ignited its two torpedos... The pilot was incinerated instantly. Its flaming wreckage crashed into the water.

The RNS -Whatever-'s CIWS managed to take out some of the missiles aimed for it, but six missiles made it through. Two of them destroyed the steam catapaults, one ripped off the forward part of the flight deck. The other three caved in three of the main aircraft hangars, effectively destroying its aircraft...

The other carrier wasn't so lucky, the ten missiles aimed for her wiped out her command tower, both of her aircraft elevators, and destroyed her flight-deck.

Carnage such as this spread quickly through the fleet, explosions filling the sky, shattering ships, and flashboiling their crew... After it was done, only 16 of the original 49 ships remained, the rest were either floating on the water or at the bottom of the sea. But that would soon change...

---------------------------

The admiral snaked his way back up to his ruined bridge... He stood at his usual post... Staring out at the wrecks that lay before him... The windows were shattered up here, part of it was ripped away and its roof was half-collapsed in... But it was where he belonged... He watched men scurry across the flight-deck, putting out fires... He watched a helicopter roar by, dropping down to pick up a few men at sea.

He had known this day was coming, through dreams and chills in the night... Today, he would perish... He would die in the ship he was in command of, alongside his crew... He would fulfill his obligation to his mother nation...

He stood there and looked at the ships he had once commanded... A destroyer was ahead of his carrier, maybe 40 yards away... Very close, it was charred and filled with holes... Her helipad was twisted and its hangar collapsed... However, its communications mast was still intact, flying the signal flags as well as a large ARSB flag... He smiled.

The lieutenant burst in... "Admiral... Missiles inbound, a few hundred of them... I advise we head back down..."

The admiral didn't turn to face the lieutenant but rather kept his eyes to that destroyer... "Very well, I'll be down in a minute.."

The lieutenant nodded and ran back down to the lower levels.

The admiral had no intent of following the lieutenant, instead he stood at his post. He could now see the missiles' vapor trails... He turned his attention to the destroyer, it was tipping and at a 50 some degree angle. It flag hunt from its mast... He stood and reminisced of days gone by. He slowly straightened his back and adjusted his officers cap... He brought himself to attention and let his arms hang at their sides... The destroyer was now tipping faster due to inertia and the flag was now just inches from the water. The tipping slowed and a breeze of wind caused the flag to tap the water. He waited... He could see it now, the dark blue Soviet Bloc flag's edge gently eased into the water. At that moment, he brought his right hand up to a stiff salute... The flag began sinking even farther... Just then, the lieutenant burst into the bridge and saw the admiral, saluting something... The lieutenant stopped for a minute and walked up the admiral and saw what he was saluting to... The Soviet Bloc flag... The lieutenant sighed and turned to the flag... He stiffened to attention and brought up a salute. He figured he'd die today, and if he was going to, he'd rather die saluting the flag of his country than sitting in a dark, damp room at the bottom of a carrier...

The admiral noted the lieutenant presence but said nothing, his main attention focused on the flag. Now, its main emblem, the eagle with its hammer and sickle-bearing shield was now underwater. Just inches to go before it was submerged... "It was a pleasure serving you, my motherland." And as its last tinge of blue sank into the ocean, he released his salute, proud of his life's accomplishments. He didn't think much more after that as the anti-shipping missiles rained down onto the carrier, four alone impacting the bridge. The admiral and the lieutenant were gone in an instant, their bodies transformed into free-floating carbon and water vapor. The RNS -Whatever- was torn apart, missiles impacting her flight deck from bow to stern. She was literally ripped apart from the massive stress placed on her.

Fleet CIWS managed to shoot down four of the hundreds of missiles, mainly because power was out on every ship, except for two, which had back-up generators...

The same lucky frigate in the first strike was lucky again, she only received one missile, which shattered her deck and destroyed the main generator room, destroying its engines, and killing a few sailors, but leaving her standing.

Every ship in the fleet recieved at least one missile...

After the MASSIVE missile strike... Two ships remained. One, the frigate had light but crippling damage. The second, a destroyer, was nearly dead... The only thing that didn't classify her as destroyed was the fact she could still move... Only half of her crew remained.

The 9th Expeditionary Fleet was nothing more, her ships either at the bottom of the ocean or charred hulls miraculously still floating... Bodies littered the water and large pools of oil and fuel were on fire... Black smoke filled the air as flames billowed out of the hulks that were formerly vessels... Radio contact was gone. Only 178 sailors would survive that day.

Meanwhile in space, the satellites do the same trick and destroy the missiles... (Lol, don't feel like making that descriptive).

OOC: OK about the B-52s they are equipped with 52 Hardpoints for munitions. But ill check into combat loads for them.
For the CIWS I use a broadbeam laser system that fires at 45 degree angles so it can take down numerous targets at once. I got this idea from ABM 747 which can take down multiple targets and targets the entire missile instead of one part. For the second line of defense I have the Steel Wall defenses which is basically the metal storm weapons currently being developed by the army(www.metalstorm.com). My ships also had most of there CIWS systems doubled since in my last 2 big wars they were heavily naval and I took alot of casualities so I took alot of time deveoping advanced CIWS system designed to hit fast moving missiles. Also my ships are clustered together and are able to support each other with CIWS(actualy corellation between your missiles and my ships were 2 missiles for every ship,) so the missiles would have a hard time penetrating the interior of the fleet but did well against perimeter ships.

I'll have an IC post tommorow morning or afternoon.

Edit: for the avoiding radar thing with my fighters and bombers basically im going on the assumption that the radar grid's range is approx. 250-300 miles out from the fleet and that the EMP would have distorted most of the radar as the planes entered range to launch missiles then reroute.

Edit 2: Question does your fleet have any battleships? or an equivilent of a battleship?

Soviet Bloc

21-06-2004, 08:28

EDIT- I added something below (its in bold letters).

OOC- The B-52 can only carry eight ( 8 ) AGM-84 Harpoon anti-shipping missiles total due to size and weight (weight to a lesser degree). I'm guessing your missile, due to its increased range and more damage would probably weigh more and be considerably longer. So, maybe eight would still work, I don't know.

The B-52 can carry up to 45 different weapons (internal and external), but they're smaller weapons. Maximum of larger BOMBs (not missiles) is about 27. And bombs are alot smaller (in length, width, etc.) than a missile.

---------

Anyways, unto the CIWS.

At a 45 degree angle, it wouldn't hit any of the anti-shipping missiles I fired. Even if it did, the missiles are moving so fast, that they wouldn't get heated enough to explode (They'd move so fast through the beam). Unless the laser tracked them, but then the others would make it through. Otherwise, a laser requires alot of power. Also, the ballistic missile laser was meant to take out ballistic missiles, much larger and slower than the anti-shipping missiles. And to blow it up, it had to keep the laser on the target for awhile, to heat it up enough.

No CIWS is that accurate against enemy missiles. They can't be. No matter what, its harder than hell to shoot down something moving that fast, even with advanced computers to plot the missiles course... I've developed my CIWS alot as well. But I'm going towards the more realistic view on things, that CIWS was just meant to see if they can hit a few missiles to spare a few ships... Not shoot down every missile. Anti-shipping missiles are a naval commander's worst nightmare for a reason... They're very hard to shoot down. Very, very hard to shoot down.

And about only hitting perimeter ships... Those missiles came from three of the four major direction and every direction in between, there should've been heavy damage on the perimeter ships. And the 12 minute span would've given plenty of time for a ship to collapse or sink for new missiles to plow through.

Steel wall, with the metal storm... Metalstorm would be easily susceptible to numerous damages while at sea. The salty air will gum up inside the tubes making it inefficient and clogging it. Water will ruin its firing system (and the ocean air is humid). Rust can easily ruin the weapon as well as debris in the barrel. But other than that, can your SteelWall (metalstorm variant) really create the velocity to puncture an anti-shipping missile's warhead and armor (does it have long enough barrels? Right timing mechanism?)?

EDIT! ADDED:

Also, those missiles are coming in over a 12 minute span, meaning your Metalstorm (Your's is Steel Wall)deal will be out of ammo (since the barrels are all packed with shells and each firing fires all the barrels or alot of them at once) after only a few missiles... Because, it can't just fire once and take out a bunch of missiles... Some missiles will make it through early, some will get hit with the shot, others will be just late enough where they hit the bullets when they have low velocity and are droppig, meaning damage to the missiles is minimal... A metalstorm weapon can't have that many shells crammed in it or it's gotta be huge (really long, especially if you expect nominal velocity). And if you do have alot of shells, the barrel could be TOO long for the shells and NOT LONG ENOUGH for the first shells fired. Making it less effective for the first few salvos and the last few salvos.

Well, the EMP would've distorted the radar, but not for long. We hardened most elecrtonics and radar equipment on our ships (except for older vessels). Anyways, the EMP would've distorted the radar as long as the EMP waves were in the air (not long). But the satellite view would've still picked them up. Either way my fleet is dead so I don't really care.

Not the 9th Expeditionary Fleet, it was a relatively new fleet (well, not new, it was actually pieced together from some newer ships and older ships taken from the reserves). It had no battleships. Some expeditionary fleets do. The 2nd Battle Fleet (the bulk of the main fleet near Buechoria) has a few battleships, the primary being a Mackensen-class by Doujin.

About the 2:1 ratio of missiles to ships, they were only targetted towards primary ships (mainly AA, ASW, carriers, battleships) and not transports and such... Unless you have 400 combatants... Then its different.

OOC: sorry about the late post i just got "city of heros" and was playing that all day.
About the the B-52 thing my missiles would be a little lighter then harpoons but since FAS.org says otherwise for payload ill change the numbers around.

The purpose of the laser being fired with 45 degrees of arc on it is so it can keep it in the targeting range for the time needed to destroy the missile. Im basing the timing on the estimated time for an ICBM to be destroyed which is estimated to be about 3 seconds and thats a missile designed to withstand reentry into the atmosphere where as a cruise missile isnt designed for that purpose.

And about the effects of guns at sea thats what mantience is for to prevent them from getting gummed up and the rust problem can be avoided by using a non rusting metal. And its possible to have a metal storm system have a belt like feeding to ensure continued firing.

my original total of combat surface ships for the 3 fleets was 498. By the time of that battle the ones that were fully combat operational and not repositioned to central areas for emergency repairs or assistance of ships that were damaged was down to about 400-420

The huge aerial armada flew right over Beuchoria, receiving no resistance from the air or ground (as you havent posted your defense, other than a passenger aircraft which I dont classify as resistance ;) )

Once over the Onind Airfield, the lead fighters bombed the hell out of any AA emplacements, machine gun posts and defense tanks.

Ground Attack Fighters (Su-39's in this case, fitted with GAU-8 gunpods) strafed troops leaving their barracks and vehicles moving about.

The main attack consisted of the paratroops. Once over the area, in a 6 mile spread, over 240,000 Paratroops, trained to Delta level, descended on the airfield.

Exact figures later.

OOC-

Well, about a lighter missile than the Harpoon. How are you getting the range then? Unless you really sacrifice for a smaller engine, smaller warhead, less protection, and no avionics.

The airborne laser you're talking about was only meant to heat the temperature of the skin (of the booster stage) to a critical point where outside forces cause the booster engine's fuel tank to rupture and therefore cause the ICBM to waiver from its original target and fall before it reached it (since its primary fuel supply is depleted). This cannot happen to an anti-shipping missile for several reasons: One, it won't have enough fuel left to make any difference; It'll be too close to matter if you did rupture its fuel tank and it did have fuel left, as it'd still hit the ship with just lower velocity; and the laser won't have enough time or power to cut through the anti-shipping missile's metal skin and heat the warhead until it explodes. It could, if the laser had a good targetting system, but it'd basically mean one of your lasers devoted to one missile, and until that missile is destroyed, it can't and won't target another missile, meaning more will get through.

As I stated above, that laser was only meant to heat the unprotected fuel portion of the booster engine, deposited well before it re-enters the atmosphere... Since it's deposited even before it leaves the atmosphere (or just in space), the tank isn't protected with heat shields or anything of the sort, just a metal skin...

And if you planned on making the missile's fuel combust, it takes alot of energy to do it and alot of time focused on that fuel (accurately focused with a strong beam).

Besides, if a missile spins in flight (which AS missiles do), that means it has to be targetted for even longer since no one spot is continually exposed to the laser.

Remember, an ICBM would be alot farther away from that aircraft (with ABL), than your laser system to the anti-shipping missiles. Meaning, your laser system will have to move so much faster just to keep a bead on it, and that'll take precious time. The ABL system on its mother aircraft doesn't have to move much due to fact the target is farther away, and therefore it only has to make small-angle movements, very slowly. Your's would have to move faster than current CIWS, meaning it'll take down a few missiles but still let alot through. And due the amount of moving it'd have to accomplish to take down these missiles, the chances of it malfunctioning are unreal... It could take out a few, but after the stress of continuous movement, somethings going to break...

Otherwise, the threat of friendly fire is immense, as the lasers automatically target the missiles, fire, and keep their laser on the target for a long time to heat it up enough to where it explodes (that's the case for an anti-shipping missile since it won't have much fuel left anyways for your laser to rupture its tank), meaning, that laser could hit a ship (Although I doubt its powerful enough to do damage).

Another thing with lasers, they're big... and they're expensive... You're laser system (especially mounted on a CIWS) is gonna be huge... Very, very big. And consume lots of energy.

--------

For the Metalstorm...

How do you get a 10x10 (maybe not exact # of barrels) square to be belt-fed? Because what about the inner barrels?

Remember, salt water does not conduct electricty, and since the metalstorm system relies on electricity to fire the weapons, any salt and water vapor that gets between the two contacts will stop your system.

according to this salt water will conduct electricty. And my CIWS doesnt have to have some many barrels I could have 4-6 barrels with the fast rate of fire.

A rupture of the any part of the missile would throw off its guidance. Not to mention the heat would start to melt circuits and the eventual goal is to detonate the warhead which is what an SDI grid is designed to do. Punching a hole through the tip of the missile would cause the missile to detonate prematurely. So idealy the missile would have its warhead detonated or its circuits fried by superheating the case. In practice a rupture on the missile would throw off its guidance enough to have it splash down. Edit: also If the fuelsalege of the missile was punctured the remaining fuel would be ignited and would explode(its possible this would happen just from the intense heat radiating through the sides even before a puncture)

For my laser system on the non nuclear powered ships its a chemical laser with the tanks for each laser located in the hull of the ship each laser has approx. 2000 seconds of charge before they need to be refueled of chemicals. The lasers on larger capitol ships are linked directly into the the ships nuclear reactors to provide power.

For my missiles the warhead is only 100 pounds it just uses a silicone composite explosive which 4x more powerful then C4 so in practice it would be equal to 400 pounds of explosive. Whereas the harpoon has a 484 pounds of conventional explosive. So my missile requires less fuel for launch and also has the ability to carry more fuel. But I already said I was going to change that to about 12 missiles per B-52.

The forces above the landing airfield tried ot communicate with Sino's SLBM centres, sending them various targets, including tank formations and parking areas, barracks, anti aircraft sites and fortified positions.

Soviet Bloc

23-06-2004, 23:03

OOC- Oops, I think I was thinking of sugar water, damn..

Anyways, its possible the fuel will explode or ignite, but that won't blow the missile up, as the fuel will leak out. Meaning the warhead will still maintain its velocity (or just under) and still impact the ship (if it isn't too far away).

The rupture of any part of the fuselage of the missile wouldn't throw off the guidance, just mess with its aerodynamics, but most computers will correct for that anyways.

It'd take awhile to burn through the metal cone around the nose. The targetted area for the ABL system was the 2-4mm (that's millimeter) thick metal (aluminum) skin around the fuel area. A missile's warhead and guidance computer are in steel (for my missiles anyways) that's 8, 10 times thicker than that. That means, at 3 seconds (which I think is wrong, but I'll use it for calculations) to melt through 2-4mm of metal skin, that means it'd have to stay on the missile for 24-30 seconds just to melt through and a few more seconds to heat the warhead enough to where it explodes. That's half a minute, in a missile barrage, spent on targetting a single missile. Not to mention, the missiles rotate by nature (unlike most ICBMs [some ICBMS do rotate in flight]), meaning it'd have to be trained on it even longer, just to heat up a surface (assuming the lasers being fired while nearly perpendicular to the missile). If its head on or near head on, the laser will have to continually fire until it burns through the metal casing, the guidance computer, and then the detonator (which all in all is nearly 6-8 inches which is 15-20 centimeters which is 150-200 millimeters which means you'd have to keep the laser on it for 225-300 seconds [which is nearly 4 to 6 minutes])

For our missiles, if its guidance computer or anything else is ruined, its motor controls (running its guidance fins) will lock up, meaning it will keep going straight until it hits something (only on our anti-shipping missiles).

About the fuel igniting, most of the time the missiles are fired from just within their range, meaning very little fuel will remain. So if you do puncture through it, the worst it'll do is burn the fuel up or have it leak out... Meaning it may run out of fuel, but it'll have sufficient velocity to still hit the target.

*There was some more I was going to add, I think... So be ready for some edits...*

"Quite a few men out there wouldn't you say, Gearhart?" The General said the the Colonel. "Yes sir, QUITE a few men. What should we do sir?"

The General stroked his grizzled beard. "Hahah.. This is TOO easy.." The General muttered to himself as he concentrated on some tanker near the enemy soldier. "Tankers, plus bunched up enemy soldiers, plus napalm bombs equals firestorm. And bada bing bada boom, and we're outta here." The Colonel nodded and walked back into the lone BMP-3 hidden in the dense decidious forest next to the airport. Three minutes later, the BMP-3 drove off into the grasslands that began where the forest ended. The airport was a tiny dot in the distance as 10 SMERCHS rolled up alongside the BMP-3.

"Let's make this quick, gentlemen..." The General spoke loudly into the radio inside the BMP. Suddenly, the roar of 5 Su-47's filled the sky as they screamed towards their targets. 3 were carrying Napalm bombs, 2 carrying a full payload of incendiary missiles.

The lead fighter began speaking "Drop payload on mark.. 5..4.."
The SMERCHS ajdusted their cannons. "Fire missiles on my mark.. 5..4..3..2..1.." the BMP-3 ordered the SMERCHS

"Sir, I th-" The Colonel was cut off as the incendiary-warhead missiles ejected from the SMERCHS and screamed towards the tanker at the airport. The Su-47's dropped their rockets, missiles, and bombs. The weapons were all coordinated to hit the tankers carrying fuel in the center of the airport's tarmac. A firestrom erupted as flames engulfed the whole facility...

The frigate's luck had to end sometime... Two-hundred and forty Belem anti-shipping missiles turned it into nothing more than free-floating carbon, iron, and aluminum particles...

The same fate was met by the surviving destroyer...

All hands were killed. No one survived the Belem assault.

--------------
Meanwhile, in Buechoria...

The sergeant coughed as he was reading the update from OVERCOMM...
He looked up to the captain, the current commanding officer (as the colonel and many others were now with Buechorian soldiers). "Sir... Satellite imagery and that scout has reported Kazakhstania's just landed a shitload of paratroopers..."

The captain's face grew dim... "Where?"

The sergeant breathed in and sighed... "Onind Air Field..."

The captain's jaw dropped... "That's 30-40 miles away... And that's where those transports landed... Fucking hell..."

The sergeant leaned back in the chair, dropping the pen that he had held onto the table with the satellite uplink equipment... "Satellites also showed a massive infrared blotch there too... Firebombing... Buechorian military officials haven't told us yet whether they're behind it or not, but some of our advance scouts did see surface-launched missiles in the air."

------------

Meanwhile, at the airbase...

The transports weren't able to go home and had been forced to stay at the airbase... The thirty-some ARSB pilots and enlisted crew had been able to move the twelve CL-15 transports to a forest clearing a couple hundred yards away from the air base. They were covered with tree branches, forage, dirt, and anything else to disguise them. The ARSB personnel basically lived inside with a couple soldiers continually running to the airbase aboard an MMPWV-03 utility vehicle, that couldn't be dropped due to a parachute malfunction while en route to Buechoria, to get food and other supplies...

Luckily, in Buechoria's artillery/rocket/whatever strike on the Kazakhstanian troops there didn't destroy any of the aircraft or injure any ARSB personnel. As Kazakhstanian forces landed, they garrisoned themselves within their transports with any weapons that were handy, including service pistols, a few OC-14 Groza emergency assault rifles, and a few RSR-51A next generation assault rifles that were from some soldiers too injured (from the air battle) to drop in. Hopefully they were hidden enough to avoid trouble.

(Don't feel like doing anything descriptive so here goes:)

Well, due to the very long range the missiles were fired at(assumed, otherwise they would've been subject to DP-21 and F-57A strikes), they were subjected to INTENSE selective jamming via DP-21A/B/Gs that were sent to follow those or were in the area. Of the 480, 180 are rendered useless before they even arrive (DP-21A/Bs and DP-21Gs are on extended patrols and were rallied beforehand due to satellites picking up the infrared signals of the missiles). Many were taken out using F-57A Molniya anti-radar guided missile systems (which escorted the DP-21s)

Of the remaining 300, roughly 130 were taken out by ship-board selective jammers, CIWS, lucky shots by machine gunners, and by more airborne selective jamming.

150 Missiles impacted the 204 ships of the 2nd Battle Fleet and the 123 ships of the two expeditionary fleets with it. Twenty of the remaining missiles were targetted for the 10th Expeditionary Fleet which was a couple miles away. Of the twenty, 16 were shot down or disabled. Four missiles impacted two ships, one a frigate, the other a cruiser. The frigate sustained heavy damage to its twin engines and lost power, the cruiser maintained light flooding.

Damage to the main fleet was a bit more severe...

8 Frigates destroyed
6 Destroyers destroyed
5 cruisers destroyed

4 frigates heavy to moderate damage
1 destroyer heavy to moderate damage
3 cruisers heavy to moderate damage
1 Carrier with moderate damage (one of 3 elevators out, minor flooding)

19 frigates light to moderate damage (mainly hull impacts, still work and everything)
8 destroyers light to moderate damage
2 cruisers light to moderate damage
1 carrier light damage (Shrapnel, hull punctures)

1 Empty transport destroyed
3 Full transports with moderate damage
1 empty and 2 full transports sustained light damage

1 tanker moderate damage (communications, engines, and power are out)

5 other ships destroyed (including patrol vessels, missile boats, etc.)
2 other ships heavy damage
1 other ship moderate damage
4 other ships light damage

------------------
Meanwhile...

The crew aboard the lucky frigate and its heavily damaged destroyer counterpart cheered as they could see the vapor trails over their heads...

They weren't about to die yet...

They eventually figured out they should probably get as far away as possible, so, the heavily damaged and inoperable destroyer was scuttled with a few hundred pounds of powder and explosives. The remaining crew aboard moved to the frigate and they steamed for the main fleet.

It rose slowly to the surface, the gigantic streams of water running down from its hull and into the cold sea is surely a sight of magnificence in on the breaking dawn.

Without some degree of hesitation, the missiles all shot up into the red dawn sky one by one, all twenty in a less than 10 minutes. it would not take long to travel out off the atmosphere, re-enter it and come straight down into the unsuspecting SB fleet, pathetically battaling out ally of Belem and unaware of the piercing arrows of death coming straight down to sink them all into hell.

Most of the missiles were destined for the carriers, tracked by GPS with the aid of the Imperial Fleet. This SB shark must be killed if not disabled to strike further. It may not terminate the enemy fleet entirely but it will surely cut its jaws off, neutralizing all capabilities of bite.

The commander listened intently to the receiver he held to his ear... It was a direct satellite link to ARSB command... He was currently 340 feet below the water in a specially outfitted Kasatanov-class command and control submarine (the bulk of Kasatanovs were reconfigured for ballistic missile roles).

He nodded to the voice on the other end... "Aye sir..." He listened a bit more... "Will do..." He nodded again... "Alright. Yeah, bye..." He set the receiver back on a wall-mounted set-up and glanced to his executive officer... "Call the rest of the sub-fleet and give them these coordinates..." He handed a sheet of paper, freshly printed, to the XO...

The exec. officer glanced at the papers... He nodded and turned on his heel, heading to a comm. station. He sat down in front of the station and typed furiously into the keyboard. Within minutes, the sub was connected to three Kasatanov ballistic missile submarines via a satellite uplink feed. Two were with the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet (which was 100 miles from the 2nd Battle Fleet). And one was a mile from the command and control submarine (which was in the eight expeditionary fleet, 56 miles from the 2nd Battle Fleet). The coordinates were quickly transmitted and muted radio replies were sent.

A half-hour later a total of 36 SNS-140 Non-Nuclear SLBMs with four GPS/Radar/Infrared-guided re-entry warheads with guidance fins were prepared for launch... That means a total of 144 warheads. However, one more SLBM was to be launched (from an auxilary SSBN [Not a Kasatonov, but a 1.21 'Red Tide' class SSBN]), modified to carry two EMP warheads, which would detonate within range of the Belem fleet and disable any unprotected electronics. Immediately after, the SLBMs would be launched. They would proceed to rocket into space where they would drop their booster engines. Then position themselves above the Belem fleet before the large warhead re-entered, then split apart to produce three dummy warheads (actually fragments of the heat shielding and electronics) and the four actual warheads. The missiles were huge, but so were the Kasatanovs, and there alot of Kasatanovs in the fleet, as they were primarily produced as a command and control sub for each fleet as well as light sea-to-land missile engagements. Many were reconfigured and equipment was replaced with missile systems.

Fifteen minutes later and the EMP missile was fired. After a few minutes in flight (due to the SB and Belem fleet proximity) it crashed into the atmosphere and seperated into three dummy warheads (the warhead fragments and electronics) and the two real EMP warheads. Small maneuvering rockets shot the two real warheads apart so where they'd get maximum Belem fleet coverage. They detonated about five miles above the Belem fleet, easily covering most of the enemy fleet (at least the ships facing the Soviet Bloc fleet).

Six minutes later and the SLBMs re-entered the earth's atmosphere. The warheads split up into the 4 seperate warheads and the 3 dummy warheads and crashed towards earth at a stable speed, far faster than most anti-shipping missiles. The warheads would then position themselves so where three of them would target each carrier. The rest would spread out and target primary and required ships, usually battleships or cruisers. Hopefully, the EMP would've knocked out some CIWS or most of it, maybe some other stuff. This would leave the window open for the main strike to hit. Any CIWS that was unaffected would fire at both dummy and actual warheads, meaning many warheads would get through... And these warheads had thick heat-shielding, so lasers wouldn't do too good against them.

Damage would be intense, they were moving at high speed, were fairly heavy, and had alot of explosives in them... Alot... Damage would be catastrophic from just one warhead to most ships smaller than a cruiser except for a few armored destroyers.

Within minutes, the warheads and dummy warheads began crashing down towards the Belem fleet... That's 144 actual warheads and 108 dummy warheads. So, even more actual warheads should get through.

ARSB command was getting sick and tired of the little naval spats, the anti-shipping missiles, and Kazakhstania's (as well as Belem's) invasion of Buechoria. They'd end it all... And they had a plan brewing that would guarantee that it ceased.

Just minutes before they were to impact, satellite and radar picked them up. Somehow, the missiles and their launch vehicles weren't noticed by the ARSB's satellite network. Sino was lucky... The twenty missiles roared towards the fleet's carriers and primary ships. DP-21 selective jamming disabled two of the twenty. CIWS shot down another two.

The rest of the 16 impacted numerous ships through-out the fleet. Six were destined for one of the smaller Vinogradov-class carriers. Her hull couldn't handle the pressure and she collapsed. One of the four shot down was aimed for the secondary fleet carrier. The carrier sustained heavy damage from two impacts, losing two of her elevators and collapsing one hangar, however, some air operations could continue. Two of the four shot down were aimed for the main carrier. Only one missile impacted. Destroying three parked DP-21s and engulfing a hangar in fire, damaging another six aircraft. The rest impacted a few other ships, wiping out two frigates, one destroyer and damaging a cruiser, a destroyer, and a frigate.

OOC2: before the missiles go inbound

IC: The alarms of SLBM launch echo throughout the bridges of all the cap ships in the fleet. The fleets in the area immediately begin the pre planned procedures for a Ballastic missile attack. The ships engage engines to full speed and attempt to scatter as much as possible. The fleet following procedure begins the launching of cruise missiles against the enemy fleet. 400 Tomahawks are launched against the SB fleet and 200 Javelins on high attack mode. 6 tomahawks and 6 Javelins are loaded with nuclear warheads(OOC:fleet thinks the SLBMs are nukes) all safeties off meaning in the event of a splashdown the warhead will still go off.
The rest of the fleet directs there weapons skywards preparing to launch all there AA missiles skyward.

All this happens as fleet command reports back to Imperial Command.

The ships in range of the two EMP warheads electronics flutter off then back on as the EMP hardening absorbs the blasts most systems are unaffected except for a few non combat critical systems that go offline.

All fighters and bombers ready are ordered to launch immediately. Nuclear forces go on high alert and mobile launchers(such as trains and trucks) begin to move away from likely targetted areas.

Satellite networks and intelligence systems pick up the Belem nuclear force activation... Soviet Bloc follows suit, not realizing that Belem misinterpreted the SLBM launch as a nuclear launch.

All nuclear forces are activated, including the six SSBNs with the 2nd Fleet. Mobile launch vehicles are located through-out ARSB territory. Mobile launch vehicles include truck and train mounted systems. ABM systems are brought online and defense net computers begin plotting possible Belem nuclear trajectories from known nuclear weapons positions in Belem. Some nuclear missiles receive coordinates to Belem military bases, others wait until confirmed launch. ABM satellites are brought online and immediately begin coordinating with ground-based systems.

Nuclear bomber forces as well as modified Tu-95s carrying long range nuclear-tipped cruise missiles take to the air with heavy fighter escort...

The ARSB governing body is split into three groups (with Premier in one, Vice Premier in one, and the Prime Minister in another) and are shuffled off to secure bunkers. Another group, headed by the Foreign Minister and containing under-secretaries are shuffled aboard a Kasatanov-class command and control submarine, under the protection of a coastal defense fleet. They head to an unknown location (although easily viewable by satellite).

Military planners drop the ARSB's Defensive Status to its highest level, seven (on a 1 to 7 scale), meaning nuclear forces are active as well as ABM systems. The level had been at 5 out of 7, meaning ARSB assets at war in a foreign nation. Six would mean ARSB assets at war closer to home or direct ARSB territory is under threat of being invaded.

All across the ARSB, radio stations air the emergency broadcast signal with a message no ARSB citizen has ever heard... "Nuclear Attack Imminent"... All television stations send a similar signal, this time displaying the message on the TV while a calm man gives any viewers advice and suggestions, survival tips...

The emergency sirens blare in every city, playing that ominous wailing sound... Panic spread across the country... (As ARSB intel overlooked the fact that Belem could be acting because they believed the SLBMs were nuclear armed... ANd therefore thought that Belem was fed up and was about to solve it all with a nuclear strike)

OOC: did any of my nuclear tipped missiles hit the fleet?

IC:

The fleet begins launching its AA missiles skyward launching nearly 600 missiles towards the incomings.

Of the 36 real warheads 10 are taken out by AA and CIWS.

Damage-
1 carrier cripplied hit by 3 warheads
7 destroyers destroyed
5 Frigates destroyed
1 Cruiser destroyed

1 Battleship has two batteries knocked out from 1 missile
3 Cruisders heavily damaged
4 Cruisers heavily damaged
3 Destroyed Heavily damaged
3 Frigates heavily damaged

----------
Edit: Belem news networks report due to the brillant display by Belem Anti Air defenses that not a single nuclear warhead hit there marks and only dummy warheads loaded with explosives hit the fleet.

Soviet Bloc

28-06-2004, 05:58

OOC- There were 144 conventional warheads... From 36 missiles launched. Sorry about that...

Oops, I didn't you fired the nuke ones, just thought you were preparing them... Did you fire them or are you just preparing them? Gotta make sure before I post...

Belem

28-06-2004, 06:05

OOC: they were launched.

144 warheads ok ill redo damage.

144 warheads ok ill redo damage.

Sino

28-06-2004, 06:16

OOC: I did not use nuclear weapons.

OOC 2: None of the splashdown had any effect ont he fleet of Belem as it was well distanced from the target, apart from the spotting UAVs, which may be a condition that is beyond recovery/repair.

Soviet Bloc

28-06-2004, 06:20

An alarm went off in the deep confines of the 1A5D-6 bunker complex. It was the primary leadership's bunker. Premier Chlevenkov grabbed the bulk headset and donned it, listening to the report... His jaw dropped, he couldn't believe it... He pulled off the headset and looked his secretary of defense in the eye... "Belem just fired twelve nuclear cruise missiles at the 2nd Battle Fleet... Everything's gone..."

The sec. of defense's own jaw dropped... "No, way... Who said that?"

"Intelligence... Picked up easily recognizable nuclear blasts... Right on top of the 2nd Fleet... A DP-21 scout from the 10th Exped. Fleet confirmed it... They're all gone..." The premier looked down... Then back up to the secretary of defense... "Full nuclear retaliation?"

The secretary of defense shrugged... "Its your call... You're our nation's leader... However, we do have orbital weapons that can do as much damage but are non-nuclear... We can try that..."

The premier nodded... "Do it... I don't want to nuke anyone... If we have to... Take them all out... Sino, Belem... Kazakhstania maybe... But, only if they fire nukes on us... If we have to, we can always end up sacrificing ourselves..." The premier contemplated that notion for a few minutes...

The sec. of defense nodded... "Alright, I'll call in space command and have them position the satellites..."

"Alright..." the Premier replied, leaning back in the chair...

----------------

Minutes later, twin satellites, each armed with a dozen (12) tungsten-coated depleted uranium rods were rocketed into position near Belem...

The two satellites each sent a radio signal on every frequency stating one word: "Non-Nuclear". They would most likely hear that just before the rods entered the atmosphere... And when they spotted the rods, they wouldn't be viewed as nuclear, they were too long and narrow, had no launch point, and didn't emit alot of heat...

The total of 24 rods were shot out using small booster rockets into positions over Belem targets. Two were targeted towards twelve of their largest bases... They just sat there...

Until the boosters fired and launched towards the atmosphere. At a certain poing, the boosters shot off and the rods continued on their immensely fast ride towards Belem... They would hit the earth with the force of a nuclear weapon... They were only aimed at major military installations, not cities...

-----------------------------

A message was sent to Belem immediately after the launch... Interception of the of rods was almost impossible as they were too heavy and moving too fast. Even if they were hit it wouldn't do too much...

"The munitions now entering the atmosphere over Belem are non-nuclear in nature and are being used in retaliation for the deaths of nearly 30,000 sailors by the use of nuclear weapons. We do not wish to use nuclear weapons and we hesitate in their use(although most RL nations would've fired every nuke they had by now)... However, if any are fired at us... We will not hesitate to fire every nuclear weapon in our expansive arsenal at you and Sino... Do you want to be the cause for the deaths of billions of people? Because that choice rests in your hands now...

We realize it was our mistake to fire the SLBMs, but it will be your mistake if you return fire with nuclear weapons... Your ABM system can't hope to shoot down more than a couple of them...

Simply stated: If we die, we're bringing you with us..."

The Soviet Bloc national anthem was then blasted onto the same frequency...

Belem

28-06-2004, 06:34

Right after the nukes were launched against the SB fleet the transport ships begin to head towards shore and begin to disembark troops on landing craft headed for the Buechorian beach.

OOC: Ill post more info for this part once Buechoria gets back I left this out of my last post and didnt want to go and edit it this much later.

Belem

28-06-2004, 06:45

OOC: question the satelites are they over Belem? Because if they are within a few hundred miles(range of interception for ICBMS) they would of been manually targetted by SDI defenses.

edit: and i have no clue what tungsteen rods do.

Soviet Bloc

28-06-2004, 06:49

OOC- No, they're aways away. They fired the rods at an angle using advanced computers to plot their path through the atmosphere.

OOC- Its a very heavy metal moving very fast... Its kinetic energy will just obliviate anything it hits and anything around it...

Belem

28-06-2004, 07:04

OOC: so whats damage range on these things?

Also how many nuclear missiles do you have and how spread out are they throughout your country?
----------

IC: After the nukes are detonated the fleet launches choppers to the former location of the SB fleet to pick up P.O.W.S. Any officers found will immediately be interrogated on whereabouts of SB military instalations and weapons.

Belem

28-06-2004, 07:06

OOC: according to pop science a 3 foot rod will have the destrucitve power of a tomahawk so if you tell me the size i can figure out the damage based on a tomawhawk.

Sino

28-06-2004, 07:06

OOC- Its a very heavy metal moving very fast... Its kinetic energy will just obliviate anything it hits and anything around it...

OOC: A guided piece of metal? LOL!

Soviet Bloc

28-06-2004, 07:14

OOC- A few hundred. I have alot based at sea as well. Otherwise, they're very spread out.

Our rods are about 20-30 feet long. Some are solid and some can fragment into 4 or 5 foot sections, although the ones we fired are solid. These are also wider, about a foot and a half (They were assembled in space, sent up in sections). So, I don't know, if you're going by lengthwise, they'd be 7-8 times stronger than a Tomahawk. But then these are also wider than the rods in that article. So all in all it'd be about 12-15 times more powerful if not more (estimate).

----------------

No survivors, except the fleet's submarines, which were sitting at about 800 feet... They didn't suffer much electronics damage due to the extensive hardening... They remain motionless, since it was technically against the rules of war to engage search and rescue helicopters... The two Kasatanovs were outfitted with CIWS and anti-aircraft missiles so they could've easily wiped out the choppers...

Belem

14-07-2004, 04:28

OOC: Haha the forum is mine! now I just have to remember everything I planned for the post.

IC: 6 of the rods are destroyed by ABMs(ooc: im assuming since the rods have no guidance or warheads the only way to completely knock em out of commision is completely destroy the rod and hitting the rod with just 1 or 2 missiles would only throw it off course or knock off some chunks of metal.)
The other 18 succeed in making some nice craters and killing a couple hundred soldiers.

In response to the attacks against the Homeland. Airbases have launched 100 Vampires each loaded with an anti sat missile. They are launched on intercept courses against SB sats are offensive in nature.

-----------------
Secret IC: 10 Lupine class attack subs in the general region of SB change course and head towards a position about 700 miles off the coast of SBs largest port city or capitol if its located on the coast.
-----------------

Buechorian landing:
The fleet has begun operations to commence landing troops in Buechoria on there northern coast west of the inlet going to the interior of the country.

35 battleships from the fleet open up there gun batteries onto the landing beach to prepare it for the amhib assault.(OOC note: each battleship has 4 16' inch batteries with 3 guns each)

The Transports begin deploying landing craft for the two divisions that will begin the initial landing of the 4 total divisions. Over 2000 thousand small landing craft are headed towards the beach of Buechoria.
about 20 thousand infantry and 1000 tanks.

OOC: buechoria whats the defense like on the beach so I can set up an attack plan?
------------------
OOC:
size of a standard combat Belem division:
25 thousand soldiers(10 thousand are infantry)
700 crusader tanks
700 crusader II tanks
100 Lancer tanks
500 self proppelled artillery(not in the initial landing)
500 tow artillery(not in the initial landing)
50 cobra choppers
50 apache choppers
numerous support vechiles for the artillery, tanks and air support.

Also on the fleets are 2 supply divisions for the invasion.

Soviet Bloc

14-07-2004, 08:26

OOC- You know, now that I think about it, that was kind of a pathetic counter-attack... I had the false feeling that that would do lots of damage and now I realize it wouldn't have done much...

--------------

ES-SAT-56DO picks up a series of thermal images after collaborating with about four other ARSB satellites that had picked up faint infrared signals differentiating in the water. Records showed no ARSB ships were in the area. The appropriate data was sent down to a satellite signal receiving unit which was then transmitted to a relay station which then sends the information to the primary space operations center. Numerous officials pour over the information before the decision is sent... Two squadrons of ASW aircraft are deployed to the area to drop sono-buoys and determine if the targets are enemy or not, then fire if necessary. Also, a series of mobile ABM systems (Mainly Hirgizstan's THAADS system) is placed along the coast closes to the submarines to intercept any ballistic missiles fired (We're on a state of alert so we're jumpy).

---------------------------

Most offensive ARSB satellites are heavily defended by electronic countermeasures as well as terminal adjusting engines which fire a powerful burst to instantly change heading, and since missiles aren't that maneuverable in space, they'll most likely shoot past as they try to re-orient themselves. The satellites carry enough fuel to execute up to three of these maneuvers in one direction (assuming it can travel in up to 6 directions [not including diagonal]). They also contain six decoy satellites (a small box with a series of rods and tin-foil to simulate the satellite). And with that they also contain four EMP warheads. The final thing is a localized jamming system. So, that means, if one anti-sat missile fell for one countermeasure each, then the satellites could defend against up to 48 missiles (assuming that the jamming is eneffective). Right now, there are three unmanned satellites nearby and a manned station (which is considerably larger but has double the defenses). Off the 100 missiles fired, most fall for the countermeasures, one satellite is destroyed, the one closest to Belem and the one that had fired the most munitions.

-----------------------

Maj. Gen. Sergei Vishtikov knocked on the door to the Premier's office in the main command bunker at Facility UM-56. "Come in..." was the Premier's reply, carrying through the heavy door... The general opened the door and stepped in, nodding...

"Sergei, what is it?" Chlevenkov enquired, his head in his hands on his desk...

"Boris... Belem's invaded Buechoria, or in the process of invading... We don't have any assets nearby except the 10th Expeditionary Fleet which is heading for position RBI. And... Also, SPACECOMM found this..." Sergei responded, sliding a few papers across Chlevenkov's desk...

Chevy read them over... "Belem's?"

"We're assuming so... Two full ASW aircraft squadrons are en route to the position... To take care of the threat... Hopefully before anything is launched, if thats what they're there for... I don't know..." Sergei admitted, plopping down in one of the chairs in front of the desk... He glanced around...

The Premier nodded... "Everything at RBI set up?"

"As I said, just waiting on the 10th." Sergei answered... He put his hands behind his head and leaned back, he hadn't had much sleep...

"What's the status on our current op?" Chevy asked, ruffling through some papers...

"Everythings in position... We're just waiting on the go order." He returned, managing a smile...

"We should've nuked the bastards when we had the chance... Hell, we've already been nuked, its an open game now... And if it comes down to it, I'm gonna drag Belem's, Sino's, and Kazakhstania's asses down to hell with me. Although I don't know... We're supposed to be on friendly terms with Kazakhstania... Sino's too much of a coward to fight and has his allies do his bidding. Belem... Just pisses me off." He thought for a minute... "Wait... We've let down Buechoria already by allowing Kazakhstania to land troops, that was a mistake on our part... Lets make it up to them. As I said its an open game... Neutron Belem's invasion force..." He grinned...

"Will do, sir... Will do..." He grinned, saying so as he got up from the chair... "I'll call them in right away..."

The premier simply nodded, watching the general leave...

------------------------

Within six hours, twelve Tu-160 take off from a coastal air base with nearly forty escorts. Half-way to their target they refuel from a series of tankers from the overseas base in Communist Rule. The group of aircraft then rendezvous with a dozen DP-21Gs from the 10th Expeditionary Fleet.

At about 360 miles from the target, the aircraft maneuver, coming in over Buechorian-controlled airspace. They then fly over Buechoria towards the Belem amphibious invasion force. As they near the amphibious force, severely avoiding any Belem fighters in the area (doubtful at this stage and since there weren't any stated to be there), the six cruise missiles on each Tu-160 is prepared for firing... However, these cruise missiles aren't normal missiles, each one is fitted with an enhanced radiation warhead (neutron bomb) which creates a relatively small blast area (heat and force) but a considerably larger area of which lethal radiation is spread, which is extremely harmful to living tissue. The radiation, in the form of gamma rays, which has no problem penetrating armor or several layers of earth. Lead or depleted uranium armors will even increase the radiation to the tank/vehicle's crew by undergoing fast fission and generating even more neutrons.

Due to the size of amphibious ships, they probably won't have CIWS (except the mother amphibious assault ship, but not the smaller ships (Landing craft, LCACs, etc.)). Immediately, about twenty of the escorts (DP-02As) drop down and begin strafing the enemy ships with machine gun fire, targetting some larger ones (with tanks, etc) with missiles. This is mainly to distract any SAM/CIWS systems. A dozen DP-21s each fire four As-19 Kingfish VIs at the larger ships in the landing group while the eight Tu-160 bombers each fire their six cruise missiles, meaning 72 total cruise missiles with two dummy warheads per cruise missile. The 48 missiles fired by the DP-21s spread out over the amphibious force while the 72 cruise missiles (fired from an altitude of about 65000 feet) drop down and spread equally out over the amphibious force... They detonate to high up for CIWS (if any) to effectively engage, they are probably too busy engaging the anti-shipping missiles fired at the larger transports... The 72 neutron warheads ignite, the small nuclear warhead detonating at a set altitude above the enemy force... Each one detonates within two seconds of each other. Heat and blast effects are only felt directly below with a few transports being vaporized (if any are underneath) as well as water being flashboiled. The massive explosions throw highly lethal radiation over an 800 yard radius directly below with diminishing effects out to its max range, 1600 yards. However, since there are 48 and equally spread out over the enemy amphibious force, any areas not hit with a lethal dose of radiation receives enough auxilary radiation from the two nearest bombs to nearly kill instantly. If not, they'll die soon, anyone out to a range of about 1100 yards will die within a few days and anyone out to 1600 yards will be too sick to do much. All equipment will remain intact (because heat and blast was too localized to do much). Before the weapons detinated, the DP-02As had lifted up and escaped the max range of the weapons.

The entire amphibious invasion force would've been covered in this radiation, therefore killing most if not all of the personnel. There was NO escape for the Belem forces as the forces were engaged too far from their mother ships so they wouldn't have received air cover, and if there was, it was harassed by DP-02As and DP-21s.
----
A communique was sent to the nation of Belem immediately after this strike was launched...

"Nation of Belem... I am Premier Borish Chlevenkov, leader of the Armed Republic of Soviet Bloc.This strike on your amphibious force was in retribution for your use of nuclear weapons in decimating our fleet... If you're smart, you won't retaliate with nuclear weapons as the ARSB now has an extensive ABM system with multiple overlapping systems to provide full coverage and protection... Not to mention, if you fire any nuclear weapons at us, we will retaliate on you and Sino... And possibly Kazakhstania if he refuses to withdraw from Buechoria. If our ABM systems fail, we will not halt to drag you down to the depths of hell with us. I urge you to end this conflict... You fight for Sino, what has he done? Fired some pot-shots at our fleet? His actions directly influenced our retaliation which eventually led to the deaths of 40,000 Soviet Bloc sailors. And in a way, he just sent your amphibious invasion force to their deaths... And what has he lost? Not much compared to you, if any... No Sino personnel were killed in THIS conflict (this thread). And ASW apologized for his actions... This conflict was supposed to have been finished then... Your response? Firing 900 cruise missiles at Buechorian. The second wave targetting powerplants and FIRING RANDOMLY INTO CITIES. That is deplorable behavior... So what does this all mean? Belem soldiers are dying in Sino's war... While he hasn't lost a damn thing except for the 20 cruise missiles he fired at my fleet... I suggest you rethink your role in this conflict...

You have chosen the wrong path in this war and now you shall face the consequences... Let your country squirm and beg under the mighty boot of Soviet Bloc after a swift ass-kicking brings your nation face-down into the dirt... I hope you and your country likes hell, because every person in your nation shall experience it first hand if you refuse to cease offensive operations on Buechoria. The choice is your's... And I hope to whatever higher being that you make the right decision because the fate of billions of people lies with it... "

OOC- Buechoria, Soviet Bloc vs. Kazakhstania, Belem, and Sino

Lmfao, I also have to quote this from an earlier post...

"Our rods are about 20-30 feet long..."

Hirgizstan

14-07-2004, 18:49

Fuhrer's Office, Hirgizstan City, Dictatorship of Hirgizstan and the Commonwealth of Hirgizstan. Released Statement to Sino/Kazakhstania/Belem:

I, the Fuhrer of Hirgizstan and its Commonwealth, wish to address the nations of Sino, Kazakhstania and Belem. I have been watching this conflict grow for some time now and due to the recent Nuclear attacks on the ARSB by Belem it has been my decision to become involved. Hirgizstan is allied with the ARSB through The October Alliance, two other nations also belong to the Alliance.

It is my understanding that the Belem invasion force was neutron bombed and has been wiped out, it is also my understanding that Sino and Kazakhstania are not fully acting in this conflict, and i would wish them no ill-favour as it seems that Belem is the only true 'agressor' in this conflict.

I do not wish to have to commit Hirgizstanian Forces to this conflict, nor do i wish to see anymore death on any side. Two nuclear incidents have occured, now should be a time to stop and talk, i would be glad to act as a mediator in this situation if both sides were willing to co-operate in talks for a cease-fire.
However, if my plea for talks is ignored and Belem re-doubles his forces and begins attack ARSB again then i will consider military action.

In this case, i would like to take this oppurtunity and warn Belem that the DOH and its Commonwealth is protected by SAAMDS (Space Altitude Area Missile Defence System) and this will track and destroy any incoming ICBM's, i also have many thousands of THAADS and MEADS systems in operation, including THAADS and MEADS naval vessels and ground vehicles for element protection.If a Nuclear missile is fired we WILL catch it and it will not get through our defense system. But if such a weapon is fired it will require immediate retaliation and i do not want this to happen, nor i'm sure do you, Belem.

In re-iterating my case i say that i do not wish to commit forces in an offensive or defensive military situation, i wish to see both sides enter talks, but if further attacks are forthcoming then i will re-consider my words.

FUHRER HIRGIZSTAN

OOC: ill psot losses to neutron attack next post trying to figure out how spread out ships im an amhip invasion will be.

-------------
IC: The submarine wolfpack positioned off the SB coast quickly raise to launch depth and each fires off 8 tomahawk missiles towards SB.

Of the 80 missiles half are High Explosive warheads the other half are Inciendiary.

The missiles are targetted against the tallest and most populated buildings in the SB coastal city(or capitol if its on the coast or within say 5 or 6 miles of it.)

If any Powerplants are in range of the Tomahawks range 4 High Explosive will directed towards the largest and most important.

-------------
In response to attacks against both the troops and and the Homeland citizens take to the street burning efyigies of the SB premier calling for blood against the heathens.

Inquisitors across the country begin searching for and rounding up an SB citizens unlucky enough to be stuck in Belem and giving them to the angered mob to do as they see fit.

In news adresses across the country the Emperor and Grand Inquisitor both promise that revenge against the barbarians will be swift and hundred times worse then there foolish attack on Belem.
-------------
Secret IC: Inside of a hanger at the civilian Imperial Airport in Imperial Center(Belem city the capitol.) Air Force engineers supervised by Inquisitors modify a traditional Boeing 747 passenger jet to be able to launch a limited number of missiles from its luggage hold. In a nearby but partioned room soldiers of the office of unconventional warfare begin loading unique warheads into tomahawk missiles.

Belem

14-07-2004, 19:44

OOC: quick question. at what altitude are the missiles detonating? forgot to ask that in last post that will calculate into damage.

Soviet Bloc

15-07-2004, 02:31

OOC- I'm not sure of the exact altitude and I dont really have the time to figure it out, but it would be at an optimum altitude to provide the largest lethal radiation area as well as the largest secondary radiation area. Seventy-two warheads will cover ALOT of area (Kill-on contact for this alt. is 800 yards while lower levels of neutrons are distributed over 1100 more yards).

To find the area of the lethal 'circle', we'll take the radius, 800 yards, times itself, then take that times pi (we'll use 3.14). We get 2,009,600 yards area. If there are 3 feet in a yard we get 6,028,800 square feet. In a square miles there is 27,878,400 square feet. So... About 4 of these will cover an entire mile. Take 72 (missiles) divided by four and you get 18 square miles of coverage. Now, thats just lethal, kill on contact areas... These overlap so their lesser lethal radiation areas overlap to basically create a near instant-kill zone where the targets will most likely die within a few days. So, that's 300 yards between each kill-on-contact radiation areas. And I'm way too lazy to figure that out but I'm guessing that'll AT LEAST double the coverage area from 18 square miles to 36 square miles. I'll leave the rest of the math to you.

-----
Thankfully, due to the nature of the ARSB's structure and its position, not much is along the coastline (Where Belem's ships are at), except for the secondary district capital of the XII District. The city is fairly populous with about 250,000 residents calling it home and another 100,000 in its suburbs... DP-21s from the nearby air base were quite successful in knocking down a dozen of the cruise missiles with electronic jamming. Anti-aircraft guns along the coast knocked another four down while some naval vessels in the cities harbor were able to knock out another thirteen. Fifty-one remain and impact the city's government building, financial district, sixteen condominium apartments, a college, a general building, and a utility plant. Eight hundred and seventeen citizens die in the attack, of that, some 240 were below the age of 18. The city's entire mayoral staff were killed except the lieutenant mayor which was on vacation. The city also lost a portion of its police department, its communications, its water abilities, cut off electricity to 3/4ths of the city, and littered the streets with burning wreckage and portions of the buildings hit. The city is in chaos. Of the 817 killed, 35 were members of the ARSB military. Another 1600 civilians were wounded along with 349 ARSB Army personnel.

Later that night in the city, mass rioting broke out, some against Belem, some against the government, and some for reasons unknown. Gunfire erupted in the city as government supporters ran into the mob that was against the war on Belem. Thirty people were killed in the incident as police were helpless...

Many military officials want the government to end this war before it gets any bloodier... The Premier agrees...

---------

Within an hour, the ASW aircraft had dropped their sono-buoys, just before the subs were going to launch the missiles, but, before they could receive confirmation to drop torpedoes, the subs raised and fired their missiles. The torpedo-carrying aircraft, mainly PL-23 sub-hunters, each dropped two torpedoes. There were 8 PL-23s in a squadron and there were two squadrons present. So 16 PL-23s were present and each fired two torpedoes... 32 TSK-14 torpedoes were fired, their targetting computers used their own onboard sonar data along with infrared data from satellites and data from the sono-buoys. There was no escape for the Belem subs and their pathetic attack on the ARSB.

---------

The Premier looked over the reports... "Fucking hell... The monsters..."

Another official transcript was released today...

It read:

"Emperor of Belem... You are a coward... You and your supposed ally Sino. You cannot defeat a nation or its military so you resort to firing at and killing that nations civilians, because they are defenseless. Thats what you did to Beuchoria, firing cruise missiles randomly into cities and now you specifically targetted one of our cities, wiping out nearly a thousand civilians. That is cowardice, something you are quite proficient at... Traitors in your government inform us that you are rounding up Soviet Bloc citizens and allowing your own citizens to torment and kill them. And for what? You're pretty damn lucky our nation has some civility, unlike your barbaric state.

There is no reason to invade Buechoria, they only allied with ASW who later apologized for his actions... The war SHOULD have ended there. But, you carried on that war (By launching attacks against Buechoria's cities). And the only reason that I can see is for some imperialist desire... Buechoria and its people are innocent.

I give you one last chance to end this war... If you do not stop, I will make damn sure you never forget the mistake you made in messing with Soviet Bloc and its ally, Buechoria. We have yet to show our true strength, and the only thing I can see you saying when you witness it is: "Please have mercy..." in between your whimpering and begging...

Make your decision. This is your final warning."

-------------

All ARSB airspace has been SHUT DOWN due the Belem strikes and the chance another strike is imminent. All ARSB airspace closed except for allies which are required to send transmissions to ARSB stations from 500 miles from ARSB borders and seas. At any given moment, seventeen fighter wings are airborne along with six airborne control squadrons, and another four or five tanker squadrons. Any unidentified aircraft within 500 miles of ARSB shores will be shot down with no hesitation. Any unidentified, foreign aircraft moving across ARSB's land borders will be shot down with no hesitation. This is AMPLE warning, we WILL not be held responsible for the actions of a foolish airline pilot or another nation's aircraft.

Once again, all ARSB airspace shut down. Air defence batteries are on alert around the nation.

Michael Anderson yawned and promptly fell out of bed as the ground shook with the blast from the bomb. "Holy shit!" he scremaed as he rushed to get a robe on and open the shades. The light from outside shone brightly, illuminating his entire hotel room. After his eyes quickly adjusted, he saw the explosion over the Belem landing craft. "Honey, wake up! We gotta-" He shoke his wife frantically, as she slowly woke up. He was interuppted by the sound of the bombing raid alarm. The alarms made their high pithed siren noises as citizens screamed and rushed to get away from the beach.

700 BMP-2's and 200 T-90's avoided the now clamed hoards being guided by policemen out of the beach area. 30 Ka-52's and 5 Ka-57's followed behind the tanks and APCs as they reached the beachhead and set up camp. Troops rushed out of the BMP-2's, 4900 in total. 5100 marched in behind. The PKM crews lined the beach, setting up their machine guns, awaiting any surviving and fighting troops left after the bomb.
the remianing 9100 men all loaded and readied their AKS-74U's, awaiting the battle....

OOC: huzzah forums working.

Over half the first wave is taken out by the neutron missile attack.(so about 25 thousand troops.) The Second wave was on the perimeter of the radius and managed to get through without being in the lethal zone.

The remaining troops continue heading towards the beach and the 800 APCs open fire onto enemy positions on the beach on the final approach.

APCs have 30mm chain cannons loaded with Armor piercing rounds.
-------------
The transports with the main fleet begin preparing the second invasion force against the Buechorian coastline.
-------------

The subs take evasive actions once the torpedo launch is detected. The first subs to launch there missiles were better off then the last subs. seven of the ten subs are destroyed by the ASW systems.

the three remaining subs drop down to a thermal layer and engage silent propulsion systems maunerving to a position 1000 miles away from the SB coastline.

-----------
Transmission to SB government:

We can come to a quick and simple agreement. If SB agrees to end all hostilities and the full removal of SB forces from within buechoria proper, Belem will forget all previous greviances with the SB government and its actions against the Imperial government and military.

Message to Belem from Premier Boris Chlevenkov-

"I am pleased to hear this, however, you must end hostilities with Buechoria... Halt that amphibious advance and withdraw your own forces and we will end hostilities with Belem, Sino, and Kazakhstania. Kazakhstanian forces must withdraw as well (if any survived Buechoria's massive artillery strike on the place). Until you agree to those terms, we are still at a state of war..."

-------------

After the reports that the first wave was decimated, some cheers were heard resounding through the corridors of many command bunkers in the ARSB. However, the second wave made it through and were now about to land on the beach...

This time, ten Tu-160 bombers took off with thirty-two escorts of DP-21s and DP-02As with a dozen F-57As mixed in. They were following roughly the same course of the last group. These Tu-160s each held another six cruise missiles with neutron bomb warheads... Hopefully, the Buechorian forces would've recieved the message to retreat. The civilians were already out of the area. Within minutes they were over Buechorian air space and heading for the amphibious landing area. Belem radar couldn't see them yet as they were still too far away so they still had the element of surprise on their side.

If Belem didn't pull back the amphibious invasion, the ARSB would do it for them...

The men all gathered their equipment and ran after them until they reached a huge open field about 1000 yards away from the hotels. All civilains remaining within a 2 mile radius were evacuated. Hundreds of thousands of Mi-26s landed int he field. The men calmly loaded onto them and then, the back bay doors closed. They Mi-26's flew off, into the air.

The 400 men who had landed in Buechoria begin taking off in the refueled and repaired CL-15 transports, which had been serviced by Buechorian air force soldiers. Eight DP-21s and four F-57A Molniyas from the escort group protecting the Tu-160s escort the CL-15s as they head towards the nearest ARSB overseas base...

OOC- I knew this would happen... But I'd rather have it this way...

--------------

The Tu-160 force, that had left Buechorian territory and was over the ocean, U-turned, returning back to Beuchoria. The 10th Fleet then launched her full compliment of nearly 90 fighter aircraft which stormed for the Belem aircraft.

Within minutes, they were engaging Belem aircraft... DP-21s unleashing long range missile strikes from miles away. F-57As tangling closely with the Belem aircraft. DP-02As engaged aircraft before they began firing their anti-tank missile complements at the Belem tanks. Each one also had two 250lbs which were promptly dropped ontop of advancing infantry...

The ten Tu-160s and their escorts began encroaching until they were 30 miles out... At which they each armed their six neutron-bomb tipped cruise missiles... At 25 miles out, the cruise missiles were launched. Twenty of the remaining escorts (mainly DP-02As) flew alongside the cruise missiles, some ahead, some behind, some around them to mask their identity. To Belem radar, they'd see a mass of FIGHTERS, not missiles. To satellites they'd be too close together to tell... As the cruise missiles neared, the DP-21s fired a final volley of missiles at the Belem fighters to keep them occupied. The DP-02As and whatever was left of the F-57As pulled up and got the hell out of there. At two miles out, the DP-02As fired some medium range missiles, intended to keep the Belem fighters even more busy. The DP-02As then pulled up and circled back, heading back for the Tu-160s which were now turning to return to their return points.

Sixty cruise missiles each with two dummy warheads and the actual neutron bomb arrived over the target, the Belem landing force. These were considerably more spread out, even more so than the previous 72-warhead strike, mainly to not act as an instant kill force, but to create a massive amount of radiation sickness, killing many soldiers in days or weaks from the exposure. They detonated at a set altitude over the Belem soldiers, spread out more so an even larger area was created (and also at a lower altitude), blanketing a 900 yard area with lethal kill-on contact radiation and a 1500 yard area of less radiation but still deadly in the long run, many exposed to this would die within days, weeks, a month at most. Vehicles would remain, except those directly underneat the blasts. Any depleted uranium or lead armor would amplify the effects to a 30 yard radius around the vehicle and kill even more.

The missiles were set to detonate to provide maximum coverage. These 60 missiles would cover even more than the previous 72 because these wouldn't overlap and detonated at a lower altitude. You can expect a 50% increase in area.

---------------

Transmission to Belem from Premier Boris Chlevenkov-

"I urge you to not retaliate with nuclear weapons or any other weapon of mass destruction, you brought this upon yourself. Just remember that... You chose the path of death and destruction over a far different path that had a different end, other than the complete destruction of your nation. You singlehandedly sealed the fate for your nation and its people.

Remember, what you are about to experience is of your own doing... So when you beg for mercy while the cold steel barrel of the ARSB's military is slowly prodding into your mouth, remember, you brought it upon yourself... And don't expect any mercy as we slowly pull the trigger until that single shot is fired, splattering the brains of the Belem menace across the floor. A final push will force the dead body of a nation to the dirt where it will be grinded down into oblivion by the heavy boot of the ARSB. Enjoy it while it lasts because you will not exist much longer.

I hope you and your country enjoy hell because... That's all it'll experience from now on... Have fun."

OOC: which landing force are you launching the neutrons against? Because if its the one thats already on the ground by the times your planes reached the location they would be in engagements with Buechorian troops which are only a mile or two back from the coast.
also how many missiles did you launch against the fighters? and how many fighter bombers attacked my troops?
---------
OOC: fighters are going to try to intercept before bombers can launch.

At about 175 miles out the fighters launch 4 Long Range AA each against the incoming aircraft(total 240). 60 are only targeted against the incoming bombers.

OOC2: once you post missile numbers ill make a post for the medium and short range engagements and the ground troops AA capacity.

Soviet Bloc

15-07-2004, 07:48

OOC- Well, the dogfights were meant to be a distraction, hassling your fighters so they couldn't respond, meaning no fighter could get to a position to launch any missiles before it was pounced on by ARSB fighters. The fighters have also been hassling your's well before they would've spotted the bombers. And since we outnumber you 3-2, you'd even have a harder chance to fire missiles on the bombers. So you won't be able to get THAT many missiles off, maybe a twenty at most.

I'm launching them at whatever force is still on the beach head, which should be the bulk of it since you can't move that much stuff at once.

Of the 90 Aircraft launched from the fleet, these are their numbers-

37 DP-21A/B/G- Each one launched three CFAM XRAAMs- TOTAL- 111

22 DP-02- Each launched two med. range radar and infrared guided- TOTAL- 44 missiles against air targets. Against ground forces- Total of 88 against tanks, artillery, etc. Against infantry- 40 250lb bombs and 5 napalm canisters, also strafed with twin 25mm cannons.

31 F-57A Molniya- Total missiles fired- 93. Machine gun engaged numerous aircraft

The missile strike on the bombers shouldn't be able to work because, well we have more fighters in the area, they surprised you, they came before the bombers were even within radar range, tangled with your fighters as they came within range and subdued any fighters that attempted to get into position to fire missiles at the oncoming bombers. The cruise missiles have a range of about 250 miles from the air so even if they were to get shot down, they could fire their missiles before being hit. The only reason they're waiting is to guarantee targets were hit.

---------------------------

After the order had been given by the Premier himself, the 64th Airborne Assault Division, 15th Airborne Armored Cavalry Regiment, 51st Airborne infantry division and the 98th Airborne Armor Division took off aboard a flotilla of aircraft covered by nearly one hundred escorts. They launched from the ARSB base in Romakia and proceeded towards Buechoria. A flight of twenty fighters, mainly F-57As flew ahead of the main force, augmenting themselves with a half dozen DP-21s that were providing the massive radar range needed. Everything was clear. Belem was being subdued by the neutron bombs, bombers, and the tangling fighters. The path was clear.

At 0850, the first elements of the group began to drop into Buechoria, they were well away from any Belem aircraft, homing in on a signal provided by the SpetsNaz forces on the ground. By 0925 everything was on the ground... A total of 25,000 infantry and mechanized infantry forces were on the ground along with 240 airborne T-05A, FCT-17, and T-04A tanks, nearly 300 SIV-21, SV-90, and SV-11 configured for multiple roles from anti-tank to command to air defense. Light artillery pieces were also dropped along with 400 MMPWV M-04 utility vehicles and 110 M-08 reconaissance vehicles. As soon as all units reported into each other, they spread out to encompase a massive 1600 square mile area (40 by 40 miles, roughly). The transport aircraft and their escorts left, well out of Belem radar range... Hopefully Belem didn't see them.

After the three-hour spreading maneuver, they began the push towards the Belem beach-head, however, they were still some 300 miles away and covered by dense brush. Thats where they halted and split up. A 12000 infantry strong force then began to push eastward circling around to flank the Belem forces if they ever got any farther.

The rest of the aerial and marine insertion would begin shortly, but somewhere else...

OOC: ok corrections then to the initial attack.

Once the fighters come into combat range approx. about 160 miles or less depending the fighter are each launching 3 Long Range AA. 180 total.

Fighters take evasive actions against the incoming missiles. 29 of the F-40s are taken out by the incoming missiles.

Fighters begin engagements against incoming targets by firing there allotment of 6 short to medium range missiles when neccesary.

The remaining fighters will launch about 15 LR missiles against the bombers once they are spotted on radar.

It has been noted that Belem has chosen to ignore the statement laid down by the Fuhrer.

As the ARSB invasion force gets underway a C-130J Transport plane flies low in the clouds, above the ARSB Forces' DZ. In the belly are 15 Pathfinders from the 8th Armoured Airborne Division and 10 Marine Force Recon Commando's.

Once the Pathfinder boots crunched into the soil of a field they quikly formed up in a nearby woodland. The leftovers from the ARSB invasion were clear, disgarded equipment and vehicle tracks were scattered throughout the field and the surrounding area. The Pathfinders job was to mark another DZ for the
8th Armoured Airborne's 1st Brigade, who would be dropping in the next 24 hours. Their objective is to link up with the 98th Airborne Armour division.
The pathfinders, wearing their NBC Warfare suits, began to place infa-red strobes to await the nightime airborne drop.

The Marine Force Recon Squad was dropped at an abandoned beachhead 50 miles from Belem's invasion site. They were to clear the beach and ensure it's suitability for a seaborne invasion by the 5th Heavy Marine Division.

If Belem should choose to continue with his actions then Belem's forces will be driven off Buechoria and into the sea. 2 Fleets and 2 Sub Forces are also operating in the area. Any Nuclear weapons that are launched against Hirgizstanian Forces will be retaliated against, but not on Belem's military forces, we will retaliate on the people of Belem, safe in the knowledge that our civilians our safe and that our soldiers are safe from any NBC attacks, but a Nuclear attack still requires a retaliation for its meaning.

I would strongly suggest that Belem stop his invasion, Hirgizstanian Forces will be called down, but as we have seen through you cowardly actions you cannot be trusted and it is myself and ARSB who will see your forces withdraw and you shall sign any agreement first, or we shall force you to withdraw, or we shall flatten every major city in Belem one by one until you surrender, it is up to you Belem.

The Halos filled with soldiers began turning back to the beach. "What die Hölle ist gehendes on?" whispered Private Willi Schmidt to someone next to him. "I don't speak much Duetsch yet, sorry." English and German were the 2 biggest languages in Buechoria. "Alright guys, suit up! We're landing in 5 minutes!" The co-pilot yelled, in English and German. The soldiers stood up and loaded their weapons. They heard the rumbles of Belem’s battleship artillery. The pilot mumbled to the co-pilot "They're missing by a mile..."

The soldiers peeked out the now open bay door of the Halo and could see the beachhead. There were a thousand other Halos about to land, each carrying 30 soldiers. They landed behind the beach, and the soldiers unloaded, following their squad leaders, leading them to cover and then wait for the onslaught of Belem vehicles and troops. The soldiers looked up as they saw 420 Ka-52's and 57's. They launched salvos of missiles and bullets at the APCs first, because their troops were the biggest threat to the Buechorian men. Over the horizon, 500 T-90 tanks and 350 SMERCHs approached the troops. The SMERCHs stopped as the T-90s drove on to the beach, firing their shells at the various tanks. The SMERCHs angled their rocket payloads at the Belem vehicles, then fired. The men held their ears as thousands of rockets screamed and roared through the air, careening right onto the beach were the Belem landing party was....

The Buechorian troops split in half, on making a head on assault of the defensive positions of the Belem troops, the other half flanking them. They fired their PKMs and AKS-74U assault rifles as they slowly made their way towards the Belem troops. They also fired RPG-7 missiles at the Crusaders, hoping they would damage them severly enought hat theywere immobalized. 95 of the T-90s were taken out, but many held up against the shells. they Began firing more and more at the Crusaders, soon less that half a ile away from them.

While they knew it was going to be a long drive, morale was high within the ranks of the 2nd shock division as their transports ambled toward the beachhead where they had been told that the Belem invasion was starting to land. Their orders were very clear- do not under any circumstance attack unless there is a direct order from the Langvioan or Buechorian high command, or if the Armed Republic Of Soviet Bloc specificly asks for immediate aid.

Plus, for all anybody has told me, since I am a province in Buechoria, you could be landing in my own territory.

IC:
While the 2nd Shock moved very slowly towards the area of the invasion, the 5th PIR of the 1st Airborne boarded transports to drop 8 miles behind the area of what was said to be the invasion beachhead.

The troops hit the deck and 600 engineers behind the beach set up a mortar strike against the APCs, firing their mortars simotaneously.

10 more T-90's are taken out, and the Smerchs began firing faster at the oncoming tanks...

Belem

16-07-2004, 02:34

OOC: I fired on the halos BEFORE they left when they were dropping off there troops.
BTW it takes hours to reload MLRS weapons so they wouldnt be ready to fire a second volley if they already unloaded all there launchers.
-------------

The Fleet launches another 100 scorpions(at this altitude they will be going only mach 1 or 2 but its still alot faster then a chopper) against the choppers.

4 APCs are taken out by mortar attacks.
The 30 Battleships redirect there fire using radar targetting onto the mortar teams.
-----------
5 Crusaders
and 3 Crusader IIs are taken out by the enemy tanks. The tanks change there strategy and for every tank coming in 2 tanks will concentrate there fire on them. So the tanks are concentrating on 281 of the T-90s, then as one gets knocked out the group switches to concentrating on another.

Soon after, the entire 5th PIR had created a camp, 8 miles away from the combat zone at the beaches, and waited for the second wave, the 1st, 4th, and 6th PIRs, and then the third wave , the 2nd,3rd, and 7th. Thsi would bring the 1st Airborne's strength up to 7,000 men

Menewhile, back at high command, the General in charge of all defense operations, Gen. Smitz, athorized the airlift of Combat Team Σ of the 1st. CT Sigma was a small, mobile team, consisting of 12 Leopard II class tanks, and 1 Jaguar II class TD.

The Massive EB-52 Megafortress sailed effortlessly above the waters off Buechoria, the cloud cover masking any visual sightings. The 2 Crewmen had initiated their stealth mode attack run and were barreling towards the IP.
Their mission was to drop 4 Wolverine Cruise Missiles and Flighthawk control vehicles directly over the advancing Belem troops. Each Wolverine had 4 Bomb sections, 2 containing Cluster munitions, the last two containing High Explosive Nitro Fuel Bombs, the last Wolverine attack would be when the entire Missile body crashed into its last pre-programmed target, detonating the 200lb HE Warhead in the nose.

Inside the EB-52 the supercockpit display gave a readout of every battlefield unit, Belem troops were partly engaged with Buechorian soldiers. The attack would go for the middle area of Belem soldiers. 2 Wolverines were pre-programmed to attack targets of oppurtunity and the last two were to attack any landed Helicopters and any Seaborne targets within range.

The Display of the Mission Commander flashed Dark Red, signalling they were over the Initial Point and could begin attack. The Pilot was ready to take over from the Autopilot should they receive any threats but they knew the EB-52 was completely stealthy and only 300Freq radars at Lo-Ball could pick them up, it seemed Belem had only stingers that were well out of range. The Mission Commander voiced the Attack Order: "Fire Wolverine's one, two, three and four." The computer responded by saying in a female monotone "Launch Wolverine's, stop attack." The big aircraft made a muffled Humming noise and four low jolts as the wolverines fell out of the aft bomb bays, igniting their rocket boosters. As the Computer was programmed to do, the two Flighthawk Unmanned Control Vehicles started their motors and fell away from the Wing Hardpoints on either side of the Aircraft. Once all the munitions were gone the Autopilot banked the mighty aircraft and steered a course away from any threats to a Patrol point where the attack could be monitored

The First two Wolverines began to attack what appeared to be a large Mechanized Infantry Column, the vehicles being the Primary targets, the first bomb bays flew open and out went the first Cluster Munitions (Seventy Two One Pound HE Bomblets, able to cover an area of around 25 thousand Sq Ft with Shrapnel). If anything survived within the blast radius it would have to have been someone lying 10ft under the ground. The Wolverine then attacked a secondary target of Massed Infantry dug in at a Beachead, the second lot of Cluster Munitions was dropped. The Last two munitions bays fell upon an assembly of Trucks and what appeared to be Medical Supply Vehciles, incinerating everything with Nitroglycerine. The Wolverine itself crashed itself into a Tent-filled area, detonating the massive 200lb Warhead.
The Second Wolverine assigned for land Attack was to concentrate on the Stinger formations that were so deadly against the incoming aircraft. (Belem you can put up your own death rates but with one Wolverine at least 50 APC's could be destroyed)

The Third Wolverine Took incoming fire from a Stinger Formation and its Attack Computer took a direct hit from a 50 Caliber Bullet, sending the Wolverine crashing into the sea, detonating the 200lb warhead and creating a giant geyser of water.
The Fourth wolverine was assigned to attack any seaborne targets and first on the list was one of the 30 Battleships in the area, the Wolverine was loaded with only Nitro HE bomblets and it dropped them directly over the middle of one of the Battleships, before ploughing into another Battleship close by.

The 6th Armoured Airborne Division dropped 4 Infantry Companies between 3 and 4 this morning. Their objective was to seize and hold a sizeable landing area for follow on forces. The First of which arrived at 11am, bringing in Avenger's and HUMRAAM SAM Vehicles. The second Air Transport brough in the first of the M551A6 Sheridan Light Tanks. The rest of the Brigade will have arrived by tomorrow night.

Secure Transmission to Langovia: The Dictatorship of Hirgizstan is an ally of ARSB, we are your allies, do not attack our formations, we are glad to sea you taking up the fight.
