<summary>Pacer UCAV (Inokhodets) / Orion-E RUSSIA 2021</summary>
<detail>
The Russia Aerospace Forces Pacer UCAV (Inokhodets) is analogous to the US Reaper and press releases indicate that three ground control complexes each with seven aircraft will enter service in 2021 after testing operationally in Syria in 2019/2020, its export version the ORION-E has been extensively advertised by the Russian Kronshtadt Group at both Russian and International arms fairs.

This system is likely to be the first operational UCAV for Russia and to be extensively exported in due course and is therefore a significant platform.

The tube launched missile in the Vesti video is not identified but Hermes-A x 2 would be logical and well within payload capacity.

For consideration thanks.

<Summary>Weapon datalink for LRASM missile</summary>

<detail>The AGM158C LRASM features a weapon datalink allowing it to receive guidance updates and course corrections while en route to the target. This datalink does not seem to exist in-game at present, for example between RAAF Super Hornets and the LRASMs they launch. It seems to be possible IRL for the weapon datalink to be established between the missile and any sufficiently equipped sensor node, not just the launch platform, however an in-game depiction of the link between missile and shooter alone would still enhance existing functionality. One of the key distinguishing features of the LRASM is also its ability to passively and autonomously seek out its target via onboard passive ESM sensors (presumably while cruising at higher cruising altitude to establish LOS), and plot route changes around pop-up threats. This feature is not currently modeled in-game (may not be possible?).

<summary>Add two-way datalink and longer range Hi-Hi-Low flight profile to JSM missile</summary>

<detail>Open source information indicates that the JSM missile features a two-way datalink that is not currently modeled in-game. Depicting a datalink between the weapon and the launch platform would largely rectify this. Furthermore, the range of the JSM is restricted in-game by the use of a low-low-low flight profile, which currently limits the missile's range to ~150nm. Including the high-high-low profile should double its range to over 300nm according to available sources. A possible solution would be to set the in-game JSM to use a hi-hi-low flight profile when launched between ~300-150nm from the target, and the low-low-low profile when launched inside 150nm.</detail>

<summary>DB3k #3126 AA-12 Adder C [R-77M] Amend range to 104nm (193km)</summary>

<detail>Open source information indicates the latest incarnation of the R-77 NATO AA-12C Adder variously designated as R-77M Idz-180 has a range in the region 104nm / 193km, although there is no qualification of in what circumstances this is achieved it could be assumed to be in ideal circumstances with a non evading large target head on.
As this is the principle air to air weapon of the Su-57 it would seem logical that it was designed with known characteristics of OPFOR weapons in mind and to be geared to out range the AIM-120D , one of the few advantages of playing techno catch up being that you know what it is your up against?
Despite some dialogues it appears to be a dual impulse rocket not a Meteor like ramjet</detail>

Displacing about 11,300 tonnes, Moattama is Myanmar Navy’s largest vessel yet. It has a flight deck that can accommodate two medium Mil Mi-17 transport helicopters.

<summary>Adjust CEA OPS and CEA TAC radars in Australian NASAMS units</summary>

<detail>In-game Australian NASAMS units appear to feature incorrectly depicted radars. In reality, the CEA-OPS radar is a larger truck-mounted GaN AESA used for volume search as well as FCR functions. The CEA-TAC radar is a smaller Hawkei mounted GaN AESA likely designed more strictly for FCR purposes.
