AI compiled order of battle of forces deployed against Iran (based on sources and assumptions) for curious forum dwellers and ambitious scenario designers.

You may compare it with the last version of Ian Ellis map.

And the Iranians oob and targets?

I will tell the same AI to run the comparison and report the "delta" LOL

AI compiled order of battle of Iran (based on sources and assumptions) for curious forum dwellers and ambitious scenario designers.

I think that in Iran the most interesting part is, if something finally happens, the possible targets.

The list must be long, and depends on the political objectives. I suppose that, like what happened with Maduro, we will be surprised.



Here is one list by Osint613. May you ask the Ai that you are using, to create and elaborate a list like this?

The order of targets in Iran, as I see it:

Air defenses and radars

Command and Control Bases

Senior Military Commanders

Ballistic Missile launchers/Silos

Iranian Navy bases and ships

Ballistic Missile Program

Nuclear program

IRGC and Basij bases

Senior Officials / Ayatollah

Regime TV stations

Up to 100 tankers according to DefenceGeek, a lot of fuel spent if nothing is going to happen...

I will ask it to refrain from including home addresses of senior military commanders, if that is ok with you

Must be political incorrect to discuss it here

But in the past June, Israel eliminated several nuclear scientists at their homes.

No excuse after this for the talented scenario designers around not to get to work ...

Wow, good info

Very interesting indeed.

And very politically correct

Waiting for you

Current scenarios against Iran today would focus on attacking hypersonic missile complexes and SAM batteries. I miss that air and naval incentive. Call me nostalgic, everything is so... [automated/technological] :

You can tell Claude to give it in a JSON format. Then programmers here can create a script to read that JSON and create a lua file to add the units into a scenario

I dont know what this is but I will ask!

I’ve been experimenting with injecting mass units into scenarios via LUA scripting, using coordinates pulled from CSV files extracted directly from the DB. To be honest, the results are quite promising!
​I did run into some hurdles with DB ID mismatches, which forced me to do some manual LUA tweaking. I realize now that this is mainly because I haven't done a deep enough pass on the CSV data I exported.
​Since I’ve just updated to the latest DB version, I’m going to take the opportunity to re-examine the source files and clean up those IDs. I’m really interested in refining this workflow to create accurate ORBAT templates more efficiently. Its interesting for complex scenario building

Is this what you are looking for?

I know the feeling. I used to believe that I was an expert in Napoleonic warfare during my university years

That is nothing compared to satellite launched anti-ship missiles

Omg . The next step is to put the Death Star into orbit

It is the secret weapon of Iran for the next war.

But it will not work
