Here's an article on the Soviet approach to gaining air superiority that I found quite interesting.

https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC_0000969827.pdf

The website that hosts the document (https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/) is a veritable treasure trove of primary and secondary sources that I imagine would be of interest to the community.

Thank you!

Interesting analysis, thanks for sharing. I particularly liked the annexes describing the resources and likelihood of success for attacking the HAWK belt and airbases.

I guess I've been playing CMO for too long as not much in the main body was a revelation, except perhaps the impact of weather.

Forgot how cloudy it could be in Germany.

For me it was that and reading tons of OPFOR documents made later. [:'(]

So in other words, LGBs would have been basically useless.

Played little bit with this. Attached is scenario where you command West German Bavarian air and air defence units with goal to survive Warsaw Pact first wave onslaught.

It is not ideally polished as my research is not finished. WarPac will not target radar bases.

There is no scoring but if WarPac air force close runways on Memmingen, Lechfeld and Neuburg consider it total defeat.
You can use any tactics you want – including pre-emptive attack. Goal of this is test different approaches to the problem.

Be free to modify it.

Following this thread - attached is mission where as soviet fighter air commander you need to clear sky over central Germany to open corridor for Su-24 bombers which are about to strike NATO air bases.

It is based on my 1983 research scenario which is still far from complete but still it might be interesting as it is centered about soviet fighters ability to defeat (or rather lack of ability) F-15s from 36th TFW in Bitburg.

// Note that soviet MiG-23M has bug in database so in mission setting they need EMCON change in "weapon state, pre-planned" to anything else than "inherited, use loadout setting".
