Just noticed this playing Act of War. Pretty sure such a short-barreled howitzer wouldn't be able to target aircraft.

Interesting. Especially since they could be used for refuelling VTOL F-35Bs.

Just posturing, or setting up advance defenses?

Completely agree - very interesting times indeed.

In a word: escalation.
For example, US strike kills Russian advisers, Russia attacks US DDG. US retaliates with further strikes against Russian troops and installations, etc. etc.

Well we can only hope that Trump won't fire the shot that is heard around the world.

Not sure if it's even in the CMANO DB, but it exists IRL.

There's an air-launched version of the Popeye Turbo too, so it could have been that. The Delilah only has a 30kg warhead, and while we don't know what the targets were, that seems a little on the low side.
Also, do we know what SAMs were defending T-4 and engaged the missiles?

Any info on what missiles were fired?

That seems like an April's Fools joke to me.

Yes indeed, I was talking about something to take terrain into consideration.

Can we have a kind of Line-of-Sight checker? Telling the radar horizon of a SAM or such from the Relief Layer alone is pretty tough.

The article made it sound like someone heard a rocket launch and decided to fire the interceptors, but yeah, false Radar signal makes a lot more sense.

I read that about the Qaher-1. I guess the -2M might be an improved version?

Anyone got some info on the Qaher-2? I assume it's locally made?

Yes, the AMRAAM (and other advanced MRAAMs like the Meteor and PL-15) have datalink capability, meaning they can be guided to the rough vicinity of the target by other platforms than the shooter. At least in CMANO where, by default, all units are linked together.

Sorry, wrong thread. *facepalm*
