Simulated Russian cruise missile strike.

Fox-2 podcast is up. Very serious analysis as you can already tell from the thumbnail. youtu.be/hCDaq3x-whI

F-35 Escapes Ballistic Missile Attack. #IranWar #airstrikes #Finland #Russia

Opening scene for my Finland vs Russia video. Think pro-Russia commenters would have been happy if the video ended here (full video is 33 minutes).

Simulated Ballistic Attack

Getting comments on how I've set up the Russian side. Many viewers feel like the software is exceptionally generous towards Russian equipment. Here's an excellent article by the software's dev on Russian equipment and assuming incompetence: command.matrixgames.com/?p=5349

Finland vs Russia. youtu.be/v0PtMmujDPI

Saturday.

Finally up to date with my social media. Also got around to contacting my Patreons to confirm the lifetime perpetuities and other obligations over the last couple of days. If I somehow missed you on Patreon and still owe you something, please don't hesitate to DM me and I will get you sorted out. Meant to do this in early January, but the world and then my life suddenly got crazy. Take care everyone, I will see you again later this month. :)

Final scene. Ended up being eerily prophetic in ways I did not intend. This will be my last post for a little while.

Simulated depiction of US Navy alpha strike. Based on my understanding, what happened IRL was smaller in scope. Curious to hear what happened to their higher-end SAMs. How much of the lack of response was due to SEAD/DEAD vs covert ops vs low morale.

JASSM and Tomahawk hits on a simulated Venezuelan airbase I did few weeks back.

Dodging 15 AMRAAMs does sound a bit much in hindsight. Still, it is what the combat log said. Most of the AMRAAMs were lofted up early and had no energy left by the time they reached the Venezuelan Su-30s. Sort of like suppressing fire, but if ammo costs a million USD per shot.

Large scale US Navy SEAD strike. One of my favorite shots from the simulation. The panning effect ended up perfectly timed with the incoming cruise missile strike.

F-35s penetrating into Venezuelan airspace in my simulation. IRL it doesn't sound like the had much to do in the air since not much got off the ground. Reckon they got much closer than in my video. Probably loitering nearby and providing overwatch for the helicopters.

Gonna get flak for this one. Kept pushing US SEAD aircraft towards Venezuelan SAMs until the S-300VM was able to fire back at 80 nautical miles. Super Hornets should have stayed at standoff range firing AARGM-ERs at 150 nautical miles. But this is absolute cinema.

POV of a Su-30MK2 under attack from a simulation I did couple weeks back. Curious how many of these were destroyed in the strikes. Hope more details come out in the coming days.
