OOC:Well, the two major bases have two divisions and their equipment, thats twenty thousand men per division. For the airbase, the airfield is located next to the command structure(which is in the dead center). A single Over-The-Horizon RADAR structure stationed at the airbase is going to be your air units biggest problem, they have stealth detection capability at 600 kilometers. The 5 batteries of MDM-4 low-high altitude SAMs(thats one RADAR antennae, one LADAR anntenae, a command vehicle, and 10 launchers) are scattered throughout the base, each launcher holds 12 RADAR/LADAR guided missiles with a max range of 300 kilometers with a ceiling of 95,000 feet. There is also a single MDM-5C Anti-Ballistic Missile Missile(ABMM) Launcher, capable of shooting down ICBMs and IRBMs. Then there are the multiple WHIRLWIND Anti-Aircraft/Missile Emplacements, scattered throughout the base. Also, the divsions APC-45s have twin 30mm Autoguns that rapid fire FlaK shells, there are about 500 for the Mechanized Division and 450 for the Armored Division. Finally, in the air defense area, is the divisions mobile AA/SAMs. These consist of M-1RT Tunguskas, there are about 40 of them per division. They have low-altitude, short range SAMs as well as twin 30mm Autoguns.

In terms of ground defense, both divisions thirty 175mm artillery batteries(10 guns per battery plus radio and Counter-Battery RADAR network) are all layed out near the artillery ammo storage area. They can be manned and ready within four minutes of warning. In terms of tanks, the Mechanized-Infantry Division has 150 MBT-66 Main Battle Tanks, the armored division has 200 MBT-66 Main Battle Tanks, main gun is a 130mm Electro-Thermal Chemical(ETC) gun. Then the APCs 30mm autogun are effective against infantry and lightly armored vehicles. In addition, the APCs have Anti-Tank Guided Missiles. The biggest threat to your tanks are massive 175mm ETC Anti-Tank Guns. The two divisions have two batteries of these between them(10 guns per battery). They can rip any tank to shreds well before it is within range of the enemies tanks.

So you have one airfield that I need to worry about in the next post, and a over the horizon RADAR, as well as some RADAR guided AA systems I need to worry about. Heres some specs for the Krait (I bought it ages ago, dont expect me to understand/comment on them), so that you can decide upon detection:

Maximum speed: Mach 1.5
Cruising speed: Mach .99
Range: 5,000 km / 3,107 miles
Service Ceiling: 19,812 m / 65,000 ft
Armament:
Internal central bay with room for up to 4 missiles or 3 guided munitions

Sensors: FLIR; IRST; “Peeping Tom II” NPI/VLPI, active electronically scanned array, multimode radar; laser rangefinder.
Special: “Chameleon” Active Camouflage System

Overview
The Krait is one of, if not the stealthiest aircraft in the world. It is meant for strike deep into an enemy’s defense system. It should also be noted that this aircraft can engage in air-to-air combat, but is primarily design for deep incursions into enemy territory. The aircraft has a RCS of -70dBsm, or rather smaller than a mosquito.

Design
The Krait’s main design factor was stealth. The craft has every available stealth feature: no 90° angles, advanced RAM construction, low-IR engine, no gaps between the airframe and its control surfaces, and even a RAM material for the canopy. The most interesting feature of the aircraft is its deception to the naked eye. The plane was specifically designed to not cast many shadows on itself. To further enhance this, it comes equipped with the semi-experimental “Chameleon” Active Camouflage System. This consists of 2 major parts: the sensors and the OLED coating. The sensors pick up the image of what is on the other side of the plane and produce that image on the opposite side using the OLEDs. While this doesn’t produce an exact or even crisp image, it produces the ambient light from the other side. Just enough to fool the untrained eye.

Avionics
The Krait’s main Radar system is the “Peeping Tom II” system. While similar to the one found on the RS-7, this one has a slightly smaller range, but even great NPI/VLPI characteristics. The control scheme uses the same min-stick found in the F-16 to save space. It should also be noted that all the displays are visible to the pilot, but produce no light outside the aircraft cockpit.

Weapons
The Krait carries one main internal missile bay in the belly of the aircraft. It is large enough to accommodate 3 AAMs, or 2 guided munitions.

I saw the IC posts, is this Open to supporters of Topal?

yeh

I'll get involved after I deal with the landing in Red Tide2. I'll most likely send carriers armed with my own custom aircraft. So, I'll post here the stats.

cool

going to bed, post more 2moro....

How many missiles did you fire exactly? And didnt you know that hand held SAMs cannot travel very far?

From the ground? 1.

Yeh I know, but mine are special Frozopian brand (e.g. I cant design my own, lack the know how, so just call them long range, hope they hit blah blah blah)

:D

How many missiles did you launch in the AIR?!

I guess now's the time to get involved. I suppose I'll be sending two SSN-21 Seawolf-class submarines with Commando/Special Forces attachements to assist in the Red Frozopian freedom movement. I might send a third, but I'll wait for approval from both parties before I'll get involved.

OOOHHH I see. You mean when my F/A 18's turned around to fight.
Sorry well 19 turned around to fight, firing two each, before being totally destroyed therefore:

19*2= 38

Anagonia, thats cool.
