<summary>New UK Version of CAPTOR-E Mk 2 AESA Radar</summary>
<detail>The UK is independently pursuing a more advanced version of the CAPTOR-E radar than Germany, Spain, Qatar and Kuwait have ordered with the unofficial requirement that it at least match or preferably outperform the F-35s APG-81 radar already in service and with an OECM capability. Some details are early 2020s technology, AESA, 180 degree scan thanks to swash plate, minimum of 200nmi range but a higher number might seem more appropriate given how they want to make it better than APG-81, wideband OECM capability</detail>

<summary> Su-35S fighter jet, the latest variant of the Flanker series, test-firing a very-long-range R-37M(AA-13) long-range air-to-air missile. </summary>
<detail> The footage of the Su-57 with the K-77s was contained within a recently released official documentary commemorating the 100-year anniversary of the founding of the 929th Chkalov State Flight-Test Center at Akhtubinsk.
The video of the Su-35S firing the R-37M emerged in an official Russian Ministry of Defense video marking the same occasion late last week.

<type>ADDENDUM</type>
<summary>FUEL LOAD OF CIVILIAN DHOW IS ADRIFT</summary>
<detail>#1787 - Civilian Dhow [15m] (Civilian - 0)

Performance Details
Altitude Band & Throttle Speed Fuel Consumption
Creep Throttle 2 kt 0.9 kg per minute
Cruise Throttle 5 kt 1 kg per minute
Full Throttle 6 kt 1.89 kg per minute
Flank Throttle 7 kt 3.75 kg per minute

FUEL
Fuel Type Quantity
Diesel Fuel 0.7 tons

So 700kg fuel gives 700 minutes at 5kts = 3500nm (but per hour) = 3500/60 which is only = 58.33nm range?

In a scenario I am creating the Dhow is noticeably running out of fuel even at short range from its port?
Given the vessels are ubiquitous across the Indian Ocean I think this is way too short?

Or am I missing something in the maths? I can amend the fuel via LUA but have 50 plus civil vessels and it would be nice for it to be a default.

<type>UPDATE</type>
<summary>Taiwan Sky Bow III missile wrong data</summary>
<detail>In database, the Taiwan's SAM #888-sky bow iii can only target missile&guild bomb and has less than 10k meters taret altitude(from 100K ft to 80k ft ASL)whitch is far less for BMD mission, that made this weapon totally useless in CMO.
From its developer and producer-NCSIST website, Skybow III

is designed to engage different threats, including: aircrafts, cruise missiles, anti-radiation missiles, and short range tactical missiles.

So, its a PAC-2 like SAM can handle variety target and has a much wider taret altitude.

Could the Chieftain and challenger marksman SPAAGs be added the MBT versions are already in game and the marksman T55 is already in so it shouldn’t be to hard to add those 2.

Could I also request the javelin S12 and S15 starburst

<summary>Add AT-802U surveillance and light-attack propeller aircraft. IOC 2020</summary>
<detail>WIKI data: In response to the United States Air Force's LAAR program and the growing requirement for light counter-insurgency aircraft, Air Tractor developed an armed model, the AT-802U, in 2008, with engine and cockpit armor, a bulletproof windscreen, self-sealing fuel tanks, and structural reinforcements for the carriage of 9,000 pounds (4,100 kg) of payload. A reinforced wing spar was certified for 12,000 hours of flight time, and the AT-802U was displayed in 2009 at the Paris Air Show.

The AT-802 has also been used in counter-drug operations in the USSOUTHCOM AOR by the U.S. Department of State as a delivery vehicle for herbicides and defoliants over narcotics production facilities.

Ten AT-802i were converted by IOMAX USA into an armed configuration with Roketsan Cirit 2.75" rockets and guided bombs [10] for the UAE Air Force. The UAE operated them until November 2015[10] when they were replaced by the first three of 24 Archangels on order from Iomax. The Archangel is based on a similar cropduster airframe, that of the Thrush Model 660, however to create the Archangel the basic Model 660 undergoes a much more extensive rebuild in the course of its militarization. Six of the UAE AT-802i were transferred to the Jordanian Air Force.[13] with a further three being transferred to the Yemeni Government Forces where they have been used in the 2015 Yemeni Civil War. Reports place Emirati aircraft in Libya flown by contract pilots.

If an unarmed crop duster variant is also available we could use it in counter-drugs operations scenarios.</detail>

There is an existing AT-802U entry for Jordan and UAE in the DB3K in three versions, or are you asking for something more specific or a copy for Egypt, Yemen and whichever faction is claiming to be the government in Libya this week?
On that note Mercenary / PMC could be a new grouping to go with civil or pirates or terrorist?
Wouldn't the USAF entry be hypothetical as it was a failed bid which didn't get past the trials against the AT-6 and Super Tucano?
