Campaigns for Modern Conflicts

[grau81]

I'm working on the first mission. They are absolutely necessary, but it takes a lot of time... writing briefings.ANZK.png

What do you think of creating some India-Pakistan scenarios?

Do you mean scenarios or campaigns?
Or both?

Anything, but of course, campaigns are more interesting.

You still have to get to the city, where there is usually a commandant's office and local authorities )))) And so behind any corner or rock can sit in ambush and wait for your convoy spirits ))))

It's probably some kind of Afghan tachanka.)

Afghan fighters flew MiG-21MFs and MiG-21bis (by the spring of 1980, there were also 50 MiG-17F/PFs in Mazar-e-Sharif, used for attack missions). Many of them were not inferior to Soviet pilots in piloting technique, and the reason for this was not due to a deep ‘ideological conviction’. Afghan pilots, for the most part, came from noble Pashtun and Tajik clans, felt at ease in the air and paid little attention to all sorts of instructions and restrictions favoured by our Air Force. At the same time, however, their combat effectiveness could not be called high: the Afghans flew only 2-3 days a week with the obligatory Koran-prescribed Friday off. They did not bother to fulfil combat missions, considering the bomb load of a couple of ‘hundreds’ quite sufficient (and they often lay down away from the target, especially if it was covered by anti-aircraft fire). It happened that the gunners ‘forgot’ to remove the checks from the bomb fuses, turning them into useless cargo. The headquarters of the 40th Army noted: ‘in independent actions Afghans lose the desire to fight’ and in order to increase the effectiveness of combat work, Soviet instructors often had to take seats in the cockpits of Afghan aircraft.

The training of allied aircraft left much to be desired, and in case of the slightest damage the planes were not even attempted to be repaired, being used for spare parts, or even simply plundered. A landmark of the Shindand airfield for a long time was a plane that had ‘missed’ landing, its tail sticking out of a breach in the wall of the local control centre, from the first floor of which commands continued to be heard as if nothing had happened. The DRA Air Force lost 3-4 times more aircraft than the Soviet units - the receipt of free equipment from the USSR was guaranteed. However, no one had any illusions about the fate of the supplies, and among these aircraft there were some repaired machines that had managed to fight and still had asterisks on their hulls - marks of combat missions. In total, according to official estimates, more than $8 billion was spent on military aid to the DRA.

The main burden of combat work remained on the Soviet aviators, who knew neither weekends nor holidays. During a year in the DRA they had time to fly 2.5-3 norms of ‘peacetime’, with some aircraft flying 450-470 sorties. In 1984 the IA accounted for 28 per cent of the total number of reconnaissance flights and 6 per cent of all reconnaissance missions. The intensity of combat work by fighter pilots was a third higher than in the IBA and outstripped even attack pilots, second only to helicopter crews. Over time, the even greater workload forced the regiments to be staffed with second-line pilots and technicians from other units. This allowed more aviators to gain combat experience and, if possible, to keep the load on people within acceptable limits (although even so, each working day, starting before sunrise, lasted 12-14 hours, and the regiment had time to ‘process’ 15, 20, or even 30 tonnes of bombs, and the ‘acceptable limits’ were reduced to the fact that people still did not fall from fatigue).
Although many sorties had to be carried out at the limits of equipment capabilities, the reliability of the MiG-21 proved to be very high. The regiments had 85-90% of combat-ready vehicles, and even for complex systems - navigation and radio equipment - the number of failures was small. The lantern glazing, which quickly turned yellow and lost transparency from the sun and dust (a shortcoming inherited and MiG-23), caused complaints. Ubiquitous, all-pervasive dust completely clogged the fuel filters after 5-7 hours of operation and disrupted fuel automation, which threatened to stop the engine in flight. In the summer heat the landing aircraft were met with watering machines or simply with buckets of water to cool down the overheated brakes faster - otherwise the pressure could ‘blow up’ the pneumatics. The intensive operation could not but affect the condition of the equipment - due to the lack of time, routine work was done hastily (habitually writing down: ‘...in full’), the planes had to be repaired and patched on the spot. After a year of operation they accumulated numerous defects, their resource was completely ‘exhausted’ and upon return to the USSR the fighters had to be sent for overhaul.

1The AO-1sch aerial bomb has a mass of 1.2 kg, its casing is cast from steel cast iron, giving a lot of fragments with killing power in a radius of up to 12 metres.

I thought we had cleared it up with the pictures! Like Akkula, I've asked you several times to stop doing that. Perhaps you could open a separate page for certain categories etc.and post links and associated pictures there. How about that?It must be possible to solve such a matter without ignoring or blocking, we are adults!!!

Ок ok no more information and if I pass something I will do it in my own thread so as not to interfere with anyone's learning and creating whoever feels the need to come in ) I hope these forums will still be alive and active ! Replicas of new recruits they excite if they appear more than once in half a year )))))

I too am annoyed by 20 consecutive texting style posts within 5 minutes with no editing, but it's true what they say, you can't go into someone else's monastery with your own rules.

[Tobi72]

Ok, I say thank you now and hope it works. And I already have a small request for you. If you want to do it, I'm still looking for operations of the Soviet army against the Mujahideen. Or also other direction, so operations of the Mujahideen. I have already found a few but I am sure there are more out there, if you are interested please offer anything and send me the new thread.

I am not in the habit of whispering in the corridors and I have given you enough links as well as photos so that here not only mods can be done but also a thesis can be written after getting a degree )) But if my friend you will have specific questions then write me them in private and I will answer you so as not to interfere as it turned out here the educational process )))) I will give only one piece of advice to your students that bad dancers always have something in the way, you need to look in the mirror ))))

[Tobi72]

I have no problem with that either.

Reading you these couple of days I have the impression that I am a very intrusive tedious type who is attached to the unfortunate geniuses with his bear favour ) It is not so gentlemen just wanted less cranberries but maybe I am strict and to the game treat as a harsh reality )))) Now as the great Lenin said All will be able to learn, learn and learn again, because at this rate we will soon expect an influx of creatively capable students who are not interrupted by anyone who will just throw us their mega mods ))))) I'll be back when something will be ready

I've always appreciated their contributions in the past until the oversized images started dominating the pages and it got worse and worse despite me asking them to curb it, there's no need to make a drama out of it now. They are free to come and go as they please, it's just a gaming forum.

Let's give it a rest and get back to the game that everyone here devotes so much of their free time to.

Secrets, as we know, have a statute of limitations. And everything secret eventually comes to light. It is time to tell you about one of the most secret operations of the Afghan war, in which officers and warrant officers of the Chkalov State Flight Test Centre took part. We are talking about Operation Rhombus, which involved special tests of the Su-25 attack aircraft and the deck-mounted YAK-38 under so-called ‘special conditions’, which meant tests on the combat use of aircraft in Afghanistan. The YAKs were tested together with the latest Su-25 attack aircraft, which had not yet been put into service.

Interesting fact: Ka-29 helicopter was baptised in Afghanistan, where it was able to prove its high efficiency and prospective use.

Initially, the troops that entered Afghanistan used T-55 tanks, but from spring 1980 they were replaced by the more advanced T-62. An attempt to use the T-64 in this war was unsuccessful, as its engine proved to be unreliable in mountainous terrain. The T-72 and T-80 were not sent to Afghanistan. The T-62 became the main tank of the Afghan War.
In Afghanistan, tanks were used mainly to escort convoys, as firing points at outposts, and to support the combat order of motorised riflemen and paratroopers when storming strongholds. The terrain itself was not suitable for the use of large tank units. However, in localised operations they were often indispensable. The fire of tank guns crushed mujahideen firing points, ensuring the advance of infantry. Already during the war tank units were included in the Airborne Troops. A tank battalion appeared in the 103rd Airborne Division, a company in the 345th Regiment, and a platoon in the 56th Airborne Assault Brigade.

Initially, the tank units of the 40th Army were armed with T-55 tanks. But, as General Gromov recalled, in anticipation of combat operations, in January 1980 the troops began to receive T-62 and T-64 tanks. The latter, however, could not withstand the tests of the high mountains: the two-stroke diesel engine failed, and they did not stay in the DRA for long. But the T-55 and T-62 fought in the mountains for quite a long time.

Hunting the ‘black wolves’: Why Afghans nicknamed GRU special forces ‘red devils’

Proof of US involvement in Afghanistan has become an object of hunt.
During the Afghan War, US intelligence services actively supported the mujahideen fighting against the USSR.
The Americans supplied them with the widest range of various weapons. Portable SAMs ‘Stinger’, which allowed the Afghans to shoot down Soviet helicopters and planes, were especially popular.
But the most coveted trophy was the American M16 assault rifles.
Firstly, the Soviet military in principle could see American small arms only in documentaries and training films. A photo with a trophy M16 was a perfect decoration of any ‘demobel album’.
Secondly, for the Soviet propaganda M16 was an incredibly tasty prize, which was hunted by GRU special forces in Afghanistan, tracking down American caravans.
For the sake of this, GRU special forces had to go to various tricks, such as giving candy to children for information about a caravan near a village.
After the phrase ‘Boy, do you want some candy?’, the children would tell where the new ‘strange weapon’ had been taken.
The trophy added value also because it could be rewarded separately - M16 and ‘Stinger’ were direct evidence that the U.S. intervened in the war on the side of the militants. And the Soviet leadership was eager to poke the American government in the rifles' face.
Unfortunately, no amount of trophy M16s has stopped the Americans from wanting to supply Afghan fighters. Therefore, American rifles, which had shown their unsuitability in Vietnam, continued to become trophies of GRU special forces. Occasionally, when they fell into the hands of insurgents, they became useless weapons because of their high propensity for breakage and difficulty in maintenance.

Hello,
I will be releasing my new campaign in the next few days. It takes you fictitiously into the warlike conflict between the Mujahideen rebels and the Soviet army in Afghanistan. The campaign begins in December 1979 and ends in the summer of 1984 (the war lasted longer, I know).
The campaign has 15 missions.
I have added a few new units including, Pakistani Intelligence, Afghan Police, Mujahideen Strela Manpad, Mujahideen Capture T-55, Bonus Units etc.
There are various missions, capture rebel leaders, find and destroy supply depots, dig out rebel nests and so on.

Welcome back on the forum!

Nice, that looks really cool! And with 15 missions, that will be a pretty long journey.
Poor Uzbek, we don't let him have enough time to live outside panzer corps

Don't worry about me friends )))) I am training hard to honestly pass the map Unexpected Siege, I even at the level of complexity Colonel can not beat all the reinforcements of the Americans and Japanese + local terminators of the South, while dragging all the guns in the right places and meet in 28 moves ( could to 38, but the cheats are hackery and I am not interested in playing with the same success could be hackery in Tetris or drive a brick on the map )))) So if anyone has passed on the difficulty level Field Marshal, honestly I want to see his screenshots and replay because he is probably not just a player, but a Jedi Panzer Corps )
