KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 It is obvious that the situation is at a stalemate. Cochin remains on their side of the border, and Rebel Army on theirs. There has to be a way to diffuse this situation before the whole thing explodes. If Rebel Army simply states their demands for Cochin, perhaps this whole thing will find a peaceful resolution and we can all go home.

Lavo Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 The start of the day would be seemingly uneventful, five dozen Viper squadrons would be up in the air, patrolling the airspace in the region. That was until the sixty craft fired up their AESA radars, and began jamming Cochin radars and other communication and coordination tools. They would also fire off anti-radiation missiles, four per, in an attempt to take out some of the enemy's radar installations. They would be joined by thousands of artillery firing off a variety of shells and rockets at known/estimated Cochin troop formations and weapon emplacements east of the Protectorate-Cochin border, using knowledge gained from satellite footage, aerial surveillance, and allied intelligence. Following this, troops and tanks would surge forwards in an attempt to gain on the momentary shock that might have been produced from the barrage. Heavy resistance was expected, and a brutal fight was certain. Troops on the coast would be aided by naval battleships supporting them with their long ranged cannons. ([url="http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad33/Lavo_02/generaladvance1.png"]General area of the Rebel's advance[/url], top arrow representing it's upper most formations) Five Orca squadrons would quickly be up in the air, and would fire off their munitions at stand off range to support ground forces, in order to try and stay out of range of Cochin air defenses. Counter fire was expected, and the pilots knew some of them would likely not be coming home that day. Luckily for them, Sholefs would be ready to deliver counter-battery fire, their ability to fire accurately on the move would be put to good use. A slight distance away from the Orcas, a Vipers for every Orca, would be on patrol, ready to strike back at Cochin aircraft if they decided to show their faces and engage the Orcas. Like the five Viper squadrons previously on patrol, they would also have some anti-radiation missiles, but only two per, versus the patrol's four. They would be used in the event that "new" anti-air stations came online to engage them and the Orcas. On the frontier surrounding Gorsee City, the Rebel forces would not plow forwards. Instead, they would radio a message to the local commander(s) to give them the opportunity to surrender peacefully, without a shot being fired. The Rebels knew the area was filled with civilians, even though there was a large military base, and were thus hesitant to push forward.

Centurius Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 [quote]Spicy Devil is a go.[/quote] The order came in only minutes after Rebel Army had started its assault and all frontline forces knew what had to be done. The XIII and XVI Corps were the first to come into action, one of the most mobile(XIII) and most powerful(XVI) elements of the Fourth Army they would focus on dealing a decisive blow to the defenses. M1201s would use their extensive suite of sensors and small UAVs to identify and select targets at the Cochin side of the border, this intelligence would be reinforced by the U-2s at a near-space altitude and satellites in space. Once targets were selected the actual fighting could begin. Two U-1A squadrons went into the air flying towards the Cochin border at their top speed of Mach .9, these UCAVs would be followed by F-1s at a greater distance the goal was to both deal a decisive blow to the Cochin defenses and identify and destroy Anti-Air systems. Early that afternoon the U-1s would appear, the UCAVs relied mostly on their advanced stealth and small size, for its own defense it only had a single DEW which could take down incoming missiles however not much more. The primary target would be fuel and weapon depots with a secondary objective being Anti-Air defenses and RADAR facilities. Each UCAV was armed with two Small Diameter Bombs, once in range of their targets the bombs would be dropped where GPS and laser guidance took over to deliver the weapons to their target. If any anti-air systems were activated to stop the advance or RADAR detected the U-1 would send the information on locations back to the two F-1 squadrons who were following them, of course the U-1s would also seek to disable any incoming missiles and evade AAA. Once the location of these systems were identified the F-1s would use NGTAMs and their directed energy weapons to destroy them. If any hostile aircraft would try to intercept either the U-1s or the F-1s they would be in for a surprise. At the same time as this air assault happened the artillery kicked in too, 1,000 M1203 NLOS-Cannons deployed along the border began firing smart munitions at both targets identified by the air and space assets and the anti-air facilities reported by the U-1s. The secondary objectives would be larger military formations along the Cochin side of the border and finally the tertiary objectives would be weapons and fuel depots. In essence Cochin forces were looking at a massive barrage from the air and the ground. The XIV and XV Corps would remain at their current positions however were ordered to dig in and prepare for a defense against Cochin forces on the other side. [img]http://data.treksimming.com/cn/cochin.png[/img] At an entirely different side of the world a different kind of attack would be prepared, St. Helena was not only a strategic threat to the allies but also evidence of Cochin imperialism in the Atlantic. The decision was made it had to be destroyed, no matter the cost. The first wave of the attack would be in the form of space assets, 10 ICBMs armed with warheads based on tungsten would be launched from silos in Athens, Lisbon, Rome and Grand Bahama, the decision was made to use a large amount as this increased the chance at least one or more got through. The large amount of missiles would hopefully also cause some form of chaos among Cochin ranks. This would be abused by the second wave. From HAFB Milan two B-11 Squadrons went into the air, the bulk of their trip would be spent at Mach 8 in the high atmosphere however at about 1500km north of St. Helena the bombers descended to a normal altitude and to their Super cruise speed of Mach 2.7, by now 36 F-1s would be at a distance of between 150 to 100 km behind the bombers, their purpose was to intercept Cochin fighters. While the B-11s had their own defenses, and several at that it was deemed too risky to let them fly without a CAP behind them. Once at the required range for an attack the bombers would unload all their weapons, in this case a total of 384 ER-M-51 missiles were fired. Ships in or near the island would get 5 missiles each while the rest would target military facilities and other valuable targets not hit by the ICBMs. Once all missiles were fired the bombers would turn around and go their maximum speed as fast as possible to return safely to Milan. The F-1 cap would also begin heading back to the HNS Zeus however a few minutes after the bombers turned back to take down Cochin aircraft pursuing the bombers. Meanwhile the Atlantic Fleet and Cape Verde was preparing for revenge, satellites had confirmed there were still Cochin ships in the Atlantic and great care would be taken those would be unable to damage either the fleet or Cape Verde. On Cape Verde F-70 interceptors had gone into the air, at all times these unmanned interceptors would be ready to intercept Cochin bombers. The Atlantic Fleet would prepare for both anti-submarine warfare and battles against surface ships, missiles and guns were prepared while attack submarines actively went into a hunter mode against both surface ships and enemy submarines.

Executive Minister Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) OOC: This is for your help when Addis Ababa got nuked. $%&@ the Kingdom of Cochin. IC: [u][b]Hana Mariyam Chapel, Injibara[/b][/u] [center] [img]http://i710.photobucket.com/albums/ww106/mofailla/Newish/chapel.jpg[/img] [/center] Rhianne's delicate features glowed an eerie blue under the pallor of the evening sky. Beneath her, the waters of the Pool of Introspection shimmered with lights dancing in all directions as they painted a fanciful display on the domed, white marble ceiling. She had come here again, trying to discern the troubling visions of the future that had plagued her subconscious for some time now. But something was wrong. While her placid facial features betrayed nothing of the maelstrom of negative energy that swirled within her, inside, it felt as if Rhianne's mind was devouring itself. It was pure agony. Such was the cursed blessing of those who scry the heavens for the truth, and for tidings of the future. Rhianne found keeping buoyancy was not a given task anymore. Try as she might, she was slowly loosing the struggle to push the fear of sinking out from her conscious. The words came naturally to her, becoming her mantra as she fought to stay above the tide. [i]"From the rising of the sun to its setting, to its rising again; I replace what is hard to endure with what is sweet to remember. I find my peace."[/i] *FLASH* "-has joined us here in the studio.

Zulu Niner out.*[/b][/i] *FLASH* [i] "-replace what is hard to endure with what is sweet to remember. I find my peace." [/i] Suddenly, a frown briefly flashed across her face. A missed breath and she felt herself loosing buoyancy - the calming ritual was failing! She was going under! It took every inch of her being to regain a brief sense of control before it struck her, shattering her calm visage at once. Opening her eyes quickly, she threw her arms - heavy with the robes that clung to her wet body - outwards, desperately trying to thrust her head above water. Even as her matted blond hair broke the waterline a terrible sound echoed around the chamber. It was her own scream. [b]PUBLIC TRANSMISSION TO THE WORLD[/b] [quote]It is with a solemn voice I announce my adherence to the edicts and beliefs that the Principality of Aeon was founded upon. I will announce my neutrality in the looming conflict. With this voice, many will see it as an abandonment, a great betrayal. Perhaps, but from the rising of the sun to its setting, to its rising again; I replace what is hard to endure with what is sweet to remember. I find my peace. I shall erase memories of the Kingdom's descent into wanton lust for the land of its neighbours - I shall replace its foolishness with the warm thoughts of friendship and care our two nations shared with one another following the fall of the Nodic state. Perhaps in aiding us in our struggle against tyranny, the Kingdom contracted the same disease that plagued my brethen so. 'He who fights monsters', I suppose. So long as I, Princess Rhianne Lucretia Sidamo of House Sidamo, preside over the Ruling House of The Principality of Aeon, we will not go to war. But I will say this: To the Rebel Army - you fear a repeat of the past, of being trod upon by the harsh feet of an invader. The Kingdom of Cochin has pulled out of your territories. It has been cowed by the might you, and your numerous alliances have brandished in the name of your defense. The Kingdom was foolish, but it is not unintelligent, if this war stops today, it would be virtually guaranteed that the Kingdom would never seek to move against you again. Its own shame would stay its feet. To the 'Brave' Coalition of the Willing - I call you brave, not because of your strength in adversity, but because of the target you undoubtedly have within your sights. This is not the <OOC:Fizzydog's african nation that got rolled>, nor is it Korea, Mogtopia or any other threat you have ever pacified before. I implore you all, cease this reckless attack! Think of the civilians, the warriors that would undoubtedly meet their own, painful deaths at the hands of your own hubris! The Kingdom, while cowed, is a formidable adversary. I pray for humanity should you press the Kingdom to its limits. This is a decisive turning point in history. The decisions of only a mere handful of men and women could spell the end of the world. Do make your decisions carefully. The Aeon will coordinate with its immediate neighbours to ensure the safety of the African continent during these trying times. May all who have, and who will be effected by the looming conflict go about their lives with my prayers above their heads. Most humbly and respectfully yours, Princess Rhianne Lucretia Sidamo, Ruling Sovereign for the Principality of Aeon.[/quote] [b] MOVEMENTS[/b] The Aeon military would once again mobilize for the defense of its own assets, again for a war that was thrust upon it by its own errant allies. Perhaps if things were not so dire, the Principality would attempt to renegotiate its unfortunate treaties and alliances, but the Aeon military was not stupid. It knew what the world expected of it, so it would do everything in its power to live up to those expectations. All border forces would immediately pull back to distances behind the Principality's known political borders. These distances would range anywhere from 20km to 75km, leaving in their stead only reconnaissance and light skirmishing brigade-sized elements. Flights of reconnaissance UAVs would patrol the borders, aiding these elements in discerning errant attacks against the Principality. These miniature aircraft were in fact unmanned aerial vehicles, stealthed against radar detection, hardened against electro-magnetic attack and designed to give the Aeon battle net that imperative 'eye-in-the-sky' in order to search, designate and track targets, attack them with precision weaponry and relay the results back to their hosts and the net at large. Aboard each tiny UAV was a beast of a 'camera'. A total of 1.8 Gigapixels would be afforded by each drone to the Aeon battle net, giving the vessels the unprecedented ability to track nearly everything in or around the ground in real time. Composed of four arrays, each containing 92 five-megapixel imagers, an onboard processing and secure transmission system the optical sensor suite of each drone totalled only 500 lbs, affording each drone the capability to loiter at a high altitude of over 15,000 feet with an endurance of over 20 hours. Thus, each drone launched would immediately create a perimeter around the Aeon while also probing the borders begin target acquisition duties - parking high in the sky to scan a wide area of over 100 square miles per drone. Transmitted images at blistering speeds of 15 frames per second coupled with a ground sample distance of 15 centimeters would mean that each pixel within an image sent would represent 6 inches on the ground. With such a phenomenal torrent of data being constantly streamed to the Aeon, multiple EVA systems would be dedicated to updating both the personnel within control hubs and their read outs, while also acting as an electronic liason with friendly forces in the area. This was an important part of the drones' role. The combined 'image' of the potential African battlefield would be massive - individual officers within the Aeon and allied command structures would be able to define at least sixty-five independent video feeds within the image and zoom in or out at will. Automated tracking of items of interest including moving vehicles and dismounting personnel would prove most useful - unlike radar, this advanced electro-optical sensory network would be capable of zooming in to provide a high resolution image voiding chances of friendly fire or collateral damages, while also being a look out for any surprises the coalition may have in store. All Naval assets would observe complete discipline when contacting foreign forces. All anti-torpedo ROV drones would be deployed from their hosts to detect any immediate undersea threats. While not appearing to be at full combat stance, their crews would be instructed assume it. Multi-function (AESA/PESA) radars would sweep the skies and space for satellites of potential interest, keeping note of their positions incase the need to destroy them would manifest itself. Strategic as well as Tactical Air defenses would be at an all time high, with Airborne Early Warning, Control and Response (AEWCR) aircraft rotating at constant escorted patrol intervals to protect the fleets and skies of the Aeon from air breathing assets. A perimeter of 100nmi would be set up immediately around all Aeon vessels, within which an extreme level of caution would be exercised. Conventional search and detection tactics would be employed, along with specially designated vessels within independent fleets who would be tasked with imaging wind velocities, with high resolution doppler radar. The swirls of air bogeys would leave in their wake would be sought out. Should contact be made, an intercept craft would be sent to the wake location and search for abnormal thermal patterns via their advanced Integrated Infrared Detection Units (Type-II Strained Layer Superlattice combined HgCdTe Infrared Detector). A combined electro-optical and infrared system, this system would allow the intercept aircraft to search the skies for distinctive airframe friction patterns, and thus track down stealthed targets. This methodology would be mimicked by the Aeon DEW network, and attached Strategic and Tactical air defense network, with the nearest IRST position on the ground verifying swirl patterns for aircraft, or having a number of aforementioned reconnaissance drones investigate the area. Air bases in potential 'Frontline' positions would remain on full combat alert status, the designated stationary [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=77405&view=findpost&p=2478678"]Point Defense[/url] units active and ready. Combat engineering teams would continue to disperse from their stationed bases and prepare for emergency placement of the entire inventory of the deployable Point Defense systems outlined in the Omega Imperium Doctrine via 5 ton crane trucks. Anti-ship, and strategic air defense transporter erector battalions would be ordered on rotational patrols throughout the Aeon holdings as per the norm. Component sites of the Nodic [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=77405&view=findpost&p=2086683"]DEW Network[/url] and other unaffiliated stationary and mobile radars would begin cyclic testing of their AD-MARS (Active Denial- Mission: Anti-Radiation Response) systems. In anticipation of Anti-Radiation missile attacks aimed at hindering or outright crippling Aeon search, track and fire-control assets. The [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=77405&view=findpost&p=2075911"]IWAn'SEAUP AshM launch Grid[/url] would be set to full combat alert status via passive electronic detection in the interim, as well as their own tests of the AD-MARS. Upon notification of hostile Surface activity, all three stages would immediately ramp up their fire control systems to Active Detection and peripheral target acquisition modes from the friendly ships. All Aeon forces under the command of the Aeon not currently taking part in present hostilities were also placed on high alert, with extra care to screen for unconventional operations. Border security placed near the Horn of Africa, Eritrea and Sudan ramped up precautionary measures. The border with the GPn'S would be instructed to look for 'allied' reinforcements should they be declared. T-280 'TRANSCENSION' HSAM-II's would be placed on alert to engage any attempts at interdiction or strike sorties against moving and stationary Aeon Forces. All stationary surface-to-air batteries within the homeland, as well as the frontier were instructed to regularly redeploy and displace current positions with a maximum allowed break down time of 25 minutes on pain of death. Batteries would consist of a 2 x 3 formation of the afforementioned HSAM-II's and Spangle Two-stage SHORAD Missile systems, separate from stationary and deployable Partisan launcher units. T-280 'TRANSCENSION' Hyper Velocity HSAM-III's remained on standby to engage incoming Intercontinental Threats alongside the S-117 'SENTRY' Ground-Based Anti-Ballistic Missile Defense systems. If any satellite not considered friendly was caught over Aeon territory, it would first be blinded by means so as to ensure no permanent harm would befall it, while its owners would be contacted with the reason of this blinding. A second pass would prove fatal, as an anti-satellite weapon would be launched to ensure its demise. This procedure would commence immediately after the Princess' announcement and all the care in the world would be given to notify all space agencies involved with this Aeon intent.

Malatose Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) [b]Air War[/b] Before the ground and artillery attacks had begun, the Luftwaffe was launched into the skies. For this operation, Luftwaffe Field Marshal Maximillian Weichs ordered the entire force into the skies to combat The Kingdom of Cochhin. Such an attack was unprecedented in the history of the nation's air offensive operations. However, Weichs felt the need to knock out the Cochinese defensive and offensive structure in one spectacular blow. Leading the charge was the nation's GLI-122 Blitz Bombers. One squadron was dedicated to knocking out Cochin's communications network, using conventional means. The conventional means was, of course, air launched cruise missiles equipped with High-power microwave(HPM)/ E-Bomb warheads. In order to avoid being targeted or even attacked by enemy defensive networks, the bombers flew in specifically designated air zones in Germany's own airspace under the cover of the nation's own defensive networks. As the targets were designated (twelve in all), the missiles were launched to specific air detonation points across Cochin. The air detonations would cause untold havoc across the enemies communication grids. Unlike conventional EMP attacks that disable non-shielded electronic devices including practically any modern electronic device within the effective range of the weapon, the High Power Microwave/E Bomb has the capability to penetrate not only radio front-ends, but also the most minute shielding penetrations throughout the equipment. The HPM generates a very short, intense energy pulse producing a transient surge of thousands of volts that kills semiconductor devices. With the launch of the High-power microwave(HPM)/ E-Bomb warheads, the Cochinese communications network would be in disarray. However, the air assault wasn't completed. The second stage of the suppression operation commenced. Despite the fact that the High-power microwave(HPM)/ E-Bomb could have put the enemies RADAR network out of service, the attacks still moved forward. The rest of the nineteen GLI-122 Blitz bombers, loaded with three Valhalla Air-Launched Air Defense Suppression Missiles, began to release death on the enemies RADAR sites. 684 missiles, using their ducted rocket-ramjet with throttle control and 3D TVC, glided forward at a speed of Mach 4.6. Despite the fact that some RADAR networks were probably down from the previous HMP attack, the RADAR sites still leaked small amounts of electronic transmissions. Using advanced passive radar-homing seeker with additional home-on-jam capabilities against ground-based radar jammers, the missiles would glide and utterly wipe out the Cochin RADAR sites. If the missile was unable to detect a RADAR site, the missile would switch to GPS mode and hit the next best thing which would be vehicles and SAM launchers themselves. The GLI-122 Bombers had completed their missions and turned around to return to base. There, they would refuel and rearm for the next mission, which would be soon going by the current state of affairs. The last bombers left in the skies were ten squadrons of the massive GLI-133 Ank'ríat Super Heavy Bombers. Having six external hard points for 59,000 lb (27,000 kg) of ordnance and 5 internal bomb bays for 75,000 lb (34,000 kg) of ordnance, these bombers were prepared to wipe out targets in a matter of minutes. Using their spacious loading zones, the bombers were loaded with at least ten "Aurora" hypersonic cruise missiles apiece. After being unleashed into the wild blue skies, the engines screamed to life and began to push the missiles towards Germany. Soon, the missiles had hit their maximum speed of Mach 5.5 and were destined towards important roads, fuel depots, bridges and other points of strategic interest. This would be the last air attack as the bombers returned home, ready to refuel for the next mission. Space: The Final Frontier "Orbital Analysis complete. We are detecting enemy space assets." Alert all commands. Prepare for launch" [i]Now launching From six silos located deep in the Empire, six V-2012-D Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles launched into space. However, it's goal was to not reign nuclear destruction on an enemy territory. It's goal was to destroy Cochin's satellite capabilities. After the missiles went through the normal phases, the only thing left were warheads equipped with 8x 'Blue Rod' SIM-666 Anti-Satellite Kinetic Kill Vehicles. After being unleashed, the Kinetic Kill Vehicles streamed towards the satellites smashing through them with pure kinetic energy. The goal was to either disable or destroy the satellites.

Centurius Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Aeon assets would notice that a lot of forces at the Aeon border began pulling back, only the XVII Corps was left behind to make sure it wasn't a trap, the other elements of the Fifth Army would redeploy to Central Asia to reinforce the Fourth Army. Satellites would also be configured to avoid Aeon territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triyun Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) [quote][center][b]Military Dispatch from the United Federation of the East[/b][/center] Per terms of the Sovereign Initiative, and per the expiration of the United Federation of the East Cochinese Mutual Defense Pact, the United Federation of the East declares war on the Kingdom of Cochin. Further the United Federation of the East hereby activates officially its Mutual Defense and Aggression Pact with Vauleyo, Slavorussia, and Sweden. For too long the Kingdom of Cochin has operated on a principle of duplicity. While I held back the tides of war from their borders, the King of Cochin plotted the downfall of the Federation. While I ensured that Cochin could be reintegrated into the global system, the King of Cochin went behind my back to try and peel off allies. The King of Cochin is a man consumed with paranoia and lacking any sense of history. He talks about cultural genocide and others destroying human rights, but he cannot look in on himself. He says Tibet and Xinjiang shall never again be Chinese, but he uses the term Xinjiang a Chinese word for these territories, and he lords over them with a noble family from Southern India. This is not to argue who should rule these lands, but rather to point out the inherent hypocrisy. Beijing or Cochin are both far away from either of these lands, to assume one is morally superior is inherently idiotic and racist. The King of Cochin further is unable to move our of a 19th Century mode of geopolitical great gamesmanship. It has made him entirely paranoid. This paranoia is inherently alienating and prevented the Cochinese from ever solidifying the sort of friendship on par with [i][u]any[/u][/i] other ally. In fact the King of Cochin would be hard pressed right now to find any UFE ally who lacks confidence that we have their back. This could have been a relationship that you could have enjoyed with our nation. Instead you chose endless paranoia and back channel scheming. Which of course is rather amusing because all back channels lead to Qingyuan. The time for peace has ended. Cochin does not want peace, they simply want war at a point where they can win it. I am through with appeasement. I am through casting allies who are reliable aside to satiate the paranoid delusions of a crazy person. This is the end. The doom of this age begins now.[/quote] With the declaration of war, nearly two thousand short and medium range ballistic missiles across the broad front of the UFE Cochinese border were rapidly fired across the border. Among these multiple units exploded in the atmosphere deploying chaff and decoys to confuse the tracking systems on enemy radar systems. This was quickly followed by hundreds of anti-radiational seeking manuverable warheads designed to blind the enemy's tactical radar systems in the area. Simultanously B-11 bombers operating at approximately 300 kilometers from the border, would fire a volley of anti-satellite missiles to knock out the synethetic aperture radar systems in low orbit, which would provide the basis of the integrated air defenses along the border between the UFE and the Cochinese. This would be followed up by B-11 stand off strikes also inside Cochinese air defenses, targeting air fields which could launch tactical range aircraft up to 1000 kilometers range inside the Cochinese air defense system. The primary targeted air fields were ones rated to also launch AWAC and mid air refueler tankers. UFE F-5 fighters would be deployed in strike quantum configuration. A total of 108 of these aircraft would be used for the first hour infiltration of the integrated cochinese air defense system. The aircraft would have their own signal systems turned off. Instead they would rely on their large electro-optical scopes, and integrated electromagnetic absorbant smart skins to detect the enemies signals and for protection onto their targets. The enemies radar systems would be extremely difficult to deploy, as rather than reflect radar energy to the sides, the F-5 instead would absorb and convert it into thermal energy, which could be managed in the larger belly of the aircraft. The F-5s missions would be to target the general HQs of the Cochinese on the Eastern front and knock them out of the fight early, throwing the enemy battle line into disarray. Secondary objectives would be as a bait for integrated enemy air defenses. With its enormous capability in air to air and electronic attack, as well as basic structural kinematic advantage versus the Jd. Mk 4, the F-5s would be more than a match for anything the Cochinese sent out to play. On the UFE side of the border, multiple moving artillery positions fired guided rounds deep into cochinese territory, targeting troop emplacements, bunkers, and other targets softening push for the inevitable advance that would occur. In the air the UFE had now replaced much of its vulnerable assets to spread out areas over a large range to make it difficult for the Cochinese to launch an anti-access attack against the UFE air force. In the air squadrons of F-1 and F-2 fighters moved through the skies supported by stealth skyhawk AWACs and EWACs, Tu-160 rudolphs, ultra high altitude look down UAVs, and F-3s. Additionally stealthy A-47s roamed the skies at low altitude for mid air refueling and close fire support. At the same time 60 B-10s would do a hypersonic strike against Urumqi. They would fire a total of 360 ER-M-51s firing into command centers, military units, air control towers, and national defense oriented government centers in the greater metropolitan area before running like hell away from SAMs Missile Defenses were readied across broad front if the Cochinese prepared to make a move on other fronts.

TheShammySocialist Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) With the activation of the obligatory terms of the Sino-Swedish Defense Pact, the Swedish Expeditionary Force would move into action across Central Asia. As attacks progressed against the Kingdom of Cochin from the other members of the coalition, the Swedish Air Force and Ground Forces began their own machinations along a fairly long stretch of the Kyrgyz Border. SAT-400 Aerial Gunships had withdrawn before dawn, their FLIR systems and extensive sensor suite, tied in with those of the SARC-135 Strategic Reconnaissance Aircraft and SAT-400EW Electronic Warfare Aircraft having done their work. Working on gathered intelligence from these craft, as well as satellites and MQ-10 [i]Avenger[/i] UCAVs operating in the region, especially around Bishkek, the Swedish Expeditionary Force entered the war in a much more slow and calculated operation. As aircraft from the Greater German [i]Luftwaffe[/i] soared overhead, self-propelled 105mm howitzers would begin opening up with two to three rounds, then suddenly switch position. Along the entirety of the Kyrgyz province border, from Chaldybar clear along the border to Leninskoye, the batteries began shelling potential positions of Cochin military forces. The rest of the Swedish artillery would remain eerily silent, as the sound of the one-oh-fives rumbled along the border, along with the sound of their engines revving as they shifted positions as if in a choreographed dance. Having taken care to try to camouflage their positions as best as they could, Swedish infantry and tank positions stayed silent, troops huddling in their covered holes and dugouts as they awaited further orders and listened to the battle around them. Company commanders and their forward observer teams watched the fall of artillery and would report any further movement or points of interest using secure communications links via the NORDCOMM system. Each platoon leader was equipped with a mobile computer with secured digital uplinks that allowed them to track local artillery batteries, and help direct the fall of the fire as the regimental guns opened up with a withering fire. Swedish support aircraft had been withdrawn slowly away from the border as the offensive opened, and as the guns below them would open up, the combat craft of the Swedish Air Force slowly stacked up into tactical formations of four aircraft west of the border. The Swedish Air Force had already established a combat air patrol over its ground force counterparts, using SAF-44 stealth fighters in the front line, followed by a secondary line of the newest production runs of the SAF-9 [i]Wargaz[/i], Sweden’s advanced domestic-produced stealth fighter. The third line would be made up of contingents of the SAF-1, the designation for the UFE-produced F-1 [i]Quantum[/i]. As the war opened, these combat air patrols would pull slightly off the border, to a range of about fifty nautical miles for the first line, with the SAF-1 maintaining patrols at one-hundred and fifty nautical miles. Without little warning, a group of six SAB-1R Regional Strike Aircraft which had been loitering a little northeast of the Caspian would begin launching six low-observable AGM-158 Stand-Off Munitions each at more than two hundred nautical miles distance towards Bishkek. These large standoff cruise missiles, which had stealthy profiles and heat-reduced signatures would aim at electric grid hubs and the defense apparatus near Bishkek, three of the AGM-158s carrying combined effects munitions heading straight for the cities’ airport to target the runways. As the AGM-158s left the racks of the SAB-1Rs, twelve SAF-44s loitering on a combat air patrol would launch two anti-radiation missiles each, aiming for radar installations around the Bishkek region. SAB-22 Stealth Tactical Strike Aircraft would start off air defense suppression missions as they began deploying significant amounts of chaff ahead of the lines of Swedish aircraft arrayed at about fifty kilometers away from the border, the SAB-22s would launch chaff at around forty-five kilometers from the border before scooting away. Their weapons bays would quickly shut as fast as they had opened. The progress of the AGM-158s and AGM-88s would be watched by operators of SAQ-47 Stealth UCAVs that would loiter closer than normal to the border, at around forty-five kilometers. Using onboard FLIR systems, they would track the missiles as they homed in on targets, confirming hits and watching for defensive reactions. Flying at their lowest speeds to try to reduce their signatures, the SAQ-47s were already low-observable platforms. If any aircraft were detected incoming from the Royal Cochin Air Force, their eventual progress would be picked up by the variety of land-based and air-based sensor systems that Sweden had put in place throughout the region. Electro-optical cameras, low-frequency radars, AESA trailers, and frequency-hopping mid-range radars all were engaged in tracking the skies for the Swedish Air Force. Not only this, Swedish AWACS aircraft, as well as the fighters themselves were watching for targets over the horizon. Fighters would then be directed to interception vectors if targets were pegged as inbound, with SAF-44 MANTA Stealth Fighters engaging first, before SAF-9s and SAF-1s, which would engage at standoff range first before moving in to engage at closer ranges. On the other side of the world, in the Atlantic, while the Athenians launched their massive bombardment of St. Helena, the Swedish Fleet would just continue sailing in formation with the Athenian vessels. Carrier air patrols had already been established, and AWACS aircraft were providing backup for the Swedish Fleet Air Arm. Anti-Submarine Warfare patrols had been sent out utilizing helicopters, and forward-deployed littoral combat ships on picket duty. These carrier fighters, mainly imports from the UFE, SAF-168 Multirole Stealth Fighters, were augmented by SAF-9s and SAF-1s flying from Cape Verde, which were supplied with fuel by heavy mid-air refuelers. Ahead of the Swedish and Athenian fleets, the Swedish ‘silent service’ had set up a line of attack submarines, sailing in a spread-out staggered formation. The submarines would run on passive sonar, not engaging in active pinging, the line of submersibles made up of both diesel ultraquiets and nuclear attacks. To the rear, the Swedish surface fleet was in a protective formation around its most valuable ships, that being, of course, the carriers and amphibious warfare vessels. Frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and a duo of arsenal ships all were readied with all vertical launch tubes primed should the fleet need to engage in a massive surface-to-surface or surface-to-air engagement. Sweden’s commitment to the campaign had quickly begun… Edited November 29, 2011 by TheShammySocialist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executive Minister Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 [u][b]Temple Cuatro, Former Nodic Administration Zone 2[/b][/u] [b]"Cowards, the lot of them,"[/b] the Executive Minister of Nod spat in disgust before her Inner Circle, arrayed before her. The men and women had terse looks upon their faces, with some wearing the elaborate Officer's garb of an Elite Cadre, others with the more humble tunic of the Air Militant Command, and others still with the glaringly white garments of the Naval Militant Command. Of course, none of the members of the Inner Circle said anything to contradict the Executive Minister's outrage, lest they taste the wrath of a woman scorned - the love that eluded her being the lust of war - except for one man. [i]"Your Eminence, If I may-"[/i] Iago, the Minister of National Intelligence began as he took a calculated step forwards, his hands clasped in front of his face in what the other members of the circle could swear was mock fealty. [b]"You may not!"[/b] the Executive Minister rose to her feet, brandishing the massive claymore in one hand before pausing before a map of East Africa. She stared daggers at the display before promptly hurling the blade into its delicate OLED panel. While some of the more civil-oriented Ministers flinched at the violent display, the militant members of the Circle did nothing but stare at their matriarch with neutral expressions. They watched much worse happen during the tenure of this 'new' Executive Minister. [b]"I do not want them,"[/b] she said quietly to herself, before shuffling back to stand before her Ministers. The woman was beautiful, yes, but her features were violently contorted into a visage of wrath. While the sight of her tiny form being aggrandized by a suit of power armor many sizes too big might have been comical in a sense, the Circle new better. She could easily end the lives of any one of them with a single, hateful back hand. "Want whom, your Grace?" a woman from the back, Minister Hewitt of National Media Relations said almost instinctively before immediately regretting drawing attention to herself. [b]"These pitiful East Africans,"[/b] the Executive Minister scowled, shaking her head in disgust. [b]"Abandoning ones own allies is a hateful, heinous crime - a crime worth a thousand deaths!"[/b] A number of the Ministers bowed their heads, others bit their lips, while more began to fearfully wring their hands behind their backs. [b]"I wanted to free them from the yoke of a hidden oppression - one that fools them into thinking they do what is best for themselves, the Aeon-"[/b] the Executive Minister spat again, a globule of filth of amazing size flying from the woman's mouth. A female Minister in a smart set of tunics and matching hair cut winced as some spatter besotted the toe of her jackboot. [b]"The Aeon have turned my people to cattle, and do you know what? I don't care. I don't want to free the Nodic people anymore! I want to destroy them! To conquer them! To crush them! I want to drive them from our lands, hear the lamentations of their women!" [/b]The Inner Circle said nothing as the Executive Minister hatefully adjourned the meeting. They trudged past the Iron Throne of Nod, where the Executive Minister chose to seclude herself and sulk, bowing as they passed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b] MOVEMENTS[/b] Nudging their engines for full throttle, 5 SAATs took off from their makeshift berths near the Aeon/PRA border. Within their holds, roughly a thousand heavily armed Aeon Blood Followers and accompanying light vehicles were secured soundly in their mighty holds. The destination? The PRA frontierlands, where they would liase with allied forces and prepare themselves for what would be a worst case scenario should war spill over into Africa. The men and few women aboard the crafts were told they would be undergoing training and maneuvering exercises with PRA forces, to better grasp both nations' defensive capabilities while serving to aid and be aided in the act of defending their respective nations. On the homeland, not a single Aeon Militant saw rest as the entire nation mobilized for a potential total war. Inventories of tanks, bullets, shells, rockets and missiles were checked, double checked and retabulated before the the data was subsequently disseminated on a division level basis, purged immediately after. This would act in ensuring that if one element of the Aeon defense was compromised, others would not. Strategic weapons were stockpiled and put through their paces, ready to strike at a moment's notice from anywhere within the Principality. At the borders, the main elements of the Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western Command (NOR-, EA-, SOU- and WES-COM) would disperse to predetermined locations, ensuring the entirety of any command structure would NOT be wiped out in a nuclear first strike. More and more 5 ton crane trucks scurried about the Aeon territory, deploying and redeploying their point defense units and accompanying control hubs. Any stationary defense would be destroyable the moment it was seen - while the Aeon edict regarding the usage of satellites over its territory was announced to the world, Avatar of War Marxon would not allow the safety of his nation to fall upon the world keeping true to its word. Artillery and rocket launched minefields would be created throughout the Aeon territories. These fields would be of a mixed-density variety, with a myriad of little terrors being littered throughout the landscape to ensure parents and farmers would fear for their charges' safeties for generations to come. There would be many different flavours of these explosive devices - both discriminate and indiscriminate killers. Some would be made of plastic to avoid metal detection, some would be remotely triggered from a distance, others would be pressure sensitive, while more would have their firing mechanisms wholly encapsulated within their cold shells, needing no external signal in order to fire explosively formed penetrators intelligently. Of particular note, several provisions would be made to include mines resistant to explosive demolition of mine fields, with others targeting combat engineers themselves in a demining role. In more niche circumstances, liquid explosive would be sprayed or air dropped on soft terrain to further hamper any invading forces. These prepared surfaces would be explosive enough to kill dismounted infantry and light vehicles, and would use timed, intelligent or pressure activated fuzes to blow patches at once. Cobble stones on more rural bridges would be replaced with hidden explosives, while others were prepared to be demolished on command. The 57 divisions of the Aeon militancy would be deployed throughout the Aeon, with the majority taking up holding positions behind the aforementioned 30-75 km buffer near the Egyptian border, as well as a number protecting the North Eastern and Eastern flanks of the nation. Tank, Mechanized, Armored and Air Assault Divisions made up the majority of the Aeon bulk, with a disproportionally large number of rocket, and artillery as well as air defense divisions being present in a staggered formation. Just as many defenses were aimed inwards as well as outwards, to protect against air drops from the skies, or other asymmetric threats. Some of these divisions would be maintaining terrestrial fortifications, others would man more temporary field positions and fire bases, while the rest would remain sheltered in within the Aeon fallout shelter system. This system would be comprised of a network of linked local area networks based on a district level. A maze of purely man-made as well as natural and psuedonatural tunnels honeycombed the Aeon territories, with the majority of the shelter densities being situated on the outskirts of Sudan and the Ethiopian heartland. These networks would include booby-trapped false passages, thermal and acoustic diversionary positions of a natural and artificial nature to saturate the area with targets should an enemy try to attack and a hardened line of communication should nuclear weapons be used. These shelters would protect Aeon militants, housing food, water and powered facilities, while also maintaining a stock pile of arms and armaments to ensure a war of attrition on Aeon soil would fall in its favour. The powergrid's heat would be shunted to dedicated heat sinks designed to draw fire, while also dumping excess heat into natural geothermal deposits - utilized for power during peace time. Fuel was given more worth than gold, held in armored storage facilities above and below ground, and protected by dedicated defenses and dummy sites. Airbases would be placed on full rotational duty, shuttling aircraft to one another in an attempt to preserve working airframes and munitions should a first strike occur. False airbases, complete with automated anti-air defenses and radars would be erected post haste, with 'asphalt' runways being nothing other than a simple ruse. Stretches of highway or other suitable ground would be deemed potential take-off points should they be longer than 400 meters, and relatively even in texture. In a pinch, they would be quickly prepared to launch. Civil and military power and communications would be decentralized as much as possible, with care being given to ensure a hardened, local network was created amongst the various districts. The Aeon territories would prepare to shift all communications towards low-probability of disrupt systems, such as point-to-point laser. Multiple rockets would launch into the night sky, as several dozen satellites similar to the aged, yet imperative Spectator-class Imagining and Radar satellites were sent into space. Their design goals were simple, be simple yet cost effective enough to warrant their large scale deployment in space, to ensure that the Aeon eyes in the black sky would not be blinded so easily. There would be two types of satellites launched - a hardened, bulkier one with more fuel to evade incoming threats, while another was merely a decentralized unit comprised of miniature satellites with distributed functions - both would have protective coverings that could be shuttered to shield imaging systems from laser attacks, as well as an onboard complement of replacement lenses that could be engaged should one be lost. Both would act to complement the other, and would be placed in geosynchronous AND elliptical orbits - the same currently used by existing Aeon satellites. Should a satellite be killed, another can easily take its place at launch, or merely by flying in a moment later. But while men can build, and destroy, scurrying about upon the surface of the earth like rodents, Mother Terra itself would be used to protect the children of the Aeon. Sudan would be the breadbasket of the Aeon, with its mineral resources being shuttled within thoroughly insulated tunnels underground towards microplants and 3D manufacturing facilities embedded in the crusts of Ethiopia's rocky mantle, as well as the concrete jungles of the Aeon cities. It would be virtually impossible to disrupt the Aeon total war economy with conventional strikes, as the Aeon lacked a centralized manufacturing and distribution center to target. The fruits of their labour would immediately be disseminated throughout, stored within the catacombs of underground infrastructure as well as surface stockpiles. The entire Nodic arsenal of armored vehicles and armaments - while considered taboo in public, would be hastily retrieved from boneyards and salvage facilities, retrofitted with Aeon electronics to fully operational status. The exotic NDII XM1 Defender heavy tank would be put back into service as a home guard unit, while the NDII S1A2 Devastator Super heavy tank would see extensive retrofit. The trio of National Defense Industries Incorporated, Nascent Military Industries and MILitary Aviation Complex would be tasked with immediately developing upgrades, retrofit packages as well as tailor made designs suitable for the potential war. Old ideas had dust brushed off on them, and were given just as much reverence as more modern ideas. Rail and air transport would immediately be built upon, while tunnel boring equipment would be commandeered from civilian contractors to speed the steady supply line running along the girth and length of the Aeon. Several splinters would be placed, with many redundancies on and below ground set in stone, earth and plains. LAPEs aircraft and rotor lift craft would see to immediate needs. Citizens would be urged to relocate to fallout shelters hardened within the Aeon territories, located away from major cities. Only those stubborn enough would be allowed to remain, with token shelters within the cities themselves to protect them from nuclear attack. The naturally hardened nature of Aeon - formally Nodic cities would aid in their survival against conventional attacks, however. Nodic doctrines favoured concrete built housing modules for both durability, cost-effectiveness and strategic value, albeit resulting in a stunted skyline, at least in comparison to more modern cities near the heart of the nation.

king of cochin Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 [quote name='Lavo_2' timestamp='1322356749' post='2853067'] The start of the day would be seemingly uneventful, five dozen Viper squadrons would be up in the air, patrolling the airspace in the region. That was until the sixty craft fired up their AESA radars, and began jamming Cochin radars and other communication and coordination tools. They would also fire off anti-radiation missiles, four per, in an attempt to take out some of the enemy's radar installations. They would be joined by thousands of artillery firing off a variety of shells and rockets at known/estimated Cochin troop formations and weapon emplacements east of the Protectorate-Cochin border, using knowledge gained from satellite footage, aerial surveillance, and allied intelligence. Following this, troops and tanks would surge forwards in an attempt to gain on the momentary shock that might have been produced from the barrage. Heavy resistance was expected, and a brutal fight was certain. Troops on the coast would be aided by naval battleships supporting them with their long ranged cannons. ([url="http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad33/Lavo_02/generaladvance1.png"]General area of the Rebel's advance[/url], top arrow representing it's upper most formations) Five Orca squadrons would quickly be up in the air, and would fire off their munitions at stand off range to support ground forces, in order to try and stay out of range of Cochin air defenses. Counter fire was expected, and the pilots knew some of them would likely not be coming home that day. Luckily for them, Sholefs would be ready to deliver counter-battery fire, their ability to fire accurately on the move would be put to good use. A slight distance away from the Orcas, a Vipers for every Orca, would be on patrol, ready to strike back at Cochin aircraft if they decided to show their faces and engage the Orcas. Like the five Viper squadrons previously on patrol, they would also have some anti-radiation missiles, but only two per, versus the patrol's four. They would be used in the event that "new" anti-air stations came online to engage them and the Orcas. On the frontier surrounding Gorsee City, the Rebel forces would not plow forwards. Instead, they would radio a message to the local commander(s) to give them the opportunity to surrender peacefully, without a shot being fired. The Rebels knew the area was filled with civilians, even though there was a large military base, and were thus hesitant to push forward. [/quote] The attempted jamming of the the AADN by the Rebel Army Aircraft was the offensive act that the South Western Command was waiting for. The jamming would anyway be ineffective on the spectrum hopping and pulsating system adopted by the advanced Drove Mentality System that drove the Anti Air Defense Network of the Royal Cochin Air Force. The illumination achieved by the sixty aircraft well within the coverage parameters of the XL12 and XL117 radars ensured that the AADN now had sixty plum targets to be intercepted and destroyed. Interception of these sixty aircrafts would be assigned as the burden of the two Aspers from the RS03 "Battleaxes" squadron. The 240 odd missiles that are homing in on the AADN would find it hard to find a solid target as no radar target stays illuminated for more than 2 seconds, as part of the pulsating system whereby each radar is just a part of an overarching Hive Mind system and only 25 percent of total stable strength is needed at any time for complete battlespace awareness thus removing dependance on individual radars and consigning them as parts of a greater whole. The confusion meted out by rapidly changing microwave emitting sources would also keep on confusing the incoming missiles. As the missiles which have for some reasons achieved geographic triangulation because of memory of source, they would now find a collection of microwave sources around each individual radar target they found earlier. Each radar installation of AADN is after all also accompanied by maskirovska of dummy microwave emitters. These emitters whose alignment is an elliptoid at whose center the radar is not situated so that even if a computation of the radar sources and a centering is done, they would still hit nothing. But even before the missiles hit on the odd goat or camel roaming in these Rajasthani deserts, they would still have to fight their way through the basic three tiered CIWS system, The IR seeking RAM missiles, the STHAL artillery interdiction device and finally the Gatling cannons itself. These multiple defenses would ensure that of the 240 Anti Radiation Missiles, about 150 would be intercepted before they reach the outer periphery of AADN maskirovska per radar and around 75 of the missiles would anyway get through only to kill a total of 23 goats and 37 camels along with one camel herder. 15 missiles would however find target and destroy 5 XL 12 radars, one XL117 radar and damaging another two XL12 radars. The two Aspers would scream in at Mach 2 speed and would each launch their payloads of 20 AIM-R and 20 AIM-RL missiles each before making a half Immelmann turn and returning back to friendly skies. The planes would anyway launch from the maximum combat range of about 70 kms leaving the terminal guidance to the AADN which is now being supplemented by nearly 150 S-RECOs launched to supplement the air defense. All this combat would of course be occurring over the Rebel Army airspace as aircrafts encroaching within 15 kms of Cochin Airspace would find themselves swarmed by SD2Rs INfra red seeking missiles and SD2 missiles launched by scores of remotely operated SAM Turrets located all along the Border defenses by the Border Guards. This would be of course be apart from the other SAM missiles ready more to the interior. The Border Guard defenses, designed and conceptualized from the start to thrown down masses of artillery, infantry and armor throwing down upon the Cochin borders would of course be well prepared for what any enemy considers overwhelming Artillery barrage. But here the heavily fortified bunkers would ensure that any artillery that escapes the interdiction from STHAL would fall safely on to the rocky terrain without affecting the defenses underneath. The satellite footage would after all not reveal the defenses that were built from day one beneath closed tarpaulins across the terrains, just ground dug up, but if the ground dug up were targetted the entire Cochin-RA border would have to be shot at. Thus the troops and tanks that surge towards the Border Guard defenses would find not disoriented shocked troops but alert prepared troops behind nearly a half kilometer of border land with defenses. As the tanks and armored personnel carriers approach the borders, the remotely operated [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=53974&view=findpost&p=1996213"]Bali[/url] Automated Ground Defense Systems start to get activated, the first few automatically triggered by intruders and the rest triggered by the Border Guards from their distant bunkers. Each Bali rocket fires one [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=55581&view=findpost&p=1844484"]BLU108[/url] canister which launches 4 smart projectiles seeking out armored targets killing them in a top down fashion by thermally fusing down through their thinly armored turrets. More automated turrets would start shooting up rockets with area defense weapons including a variety of flechette munitions. This would be of course apart from layers and layers of Anti Armor and Anti Personnel mines interspersed with Caltrope fields and Static Anti Armor defenses like Hedge Hogs and Dragon's teeth which would ensure that the Rebel Army forces invading the Kingdom of Cochin would not have smooth advance. The Rebel Army artillery which fired on the Border Guard defenses would also find their trajectories mapped by the millimeter wave radars both on ground and in air with their coordinates being forwarded to SOP Artillery Battalions several hundreds of kilometers to the rear. Ten of these battalions would fire 10 GG10 SRBM each at the Artillery locations and the advancing Armies of Rebel Army. Each SRBM would have one WATSM (Wide area terrestrial search and destroy munitions) each which would be armed with 4 GB4 munitions. With each of the GB4 missiles being equipped with 10 BLU-108 canisters the overwhelming field of fire launched by these units would also ensure that massive attrition would be meted out on the advancing phalanxes of Rebel Army without even having made contact with the regular army of Royal Cochin Army which are deployed and hidden to the rear waiting for the Rebel Army forces to fall neatly into their traps. The enemy Close Air Support Aircraft would also start more surprises waiting for them as one of the SOP Battalions that had already revealed its position by firing would fire two more GG10s but this time carrying one WAASM ( Wide area airborne search and destroy munitions) which loiter around in the air for 10 minutes in the combat coordinates while discharging their payload of 25 AIM-R and AIM-H Air to Air missiles which are of course guided by the AADN. The WAASMs would be programmed to loiter 50 kilometers behind Rebel Army advance line so that the Rebel Army aircraft would find themselves between a hammer and anvil. Again the total absence of Royal Cochin Air Force fighter aircrafts from the scene would be a surprise for the Rebel Army, the fighters already deployed out to secure and camouflaged air strips scattered across the desert. The RCAF presence would be primarily be in the role of 10 MERAT AWACS and 5 MERAT ELINT aircraft which are loitering some 100 kms behind the frontiers. Their task is basically to ensure the triangulation of the enemy forces' Command Centers because as opposed to the well entrenched home defenses of Cochin, the Rebel Army forces were primarily of expeditionary in nature and the node of field communications would be triangulated pretty easily. Each of these Command Centers would be attacked by 3 GG10 SRBMs each armed with one GOAB, one Area Saturation Package of GB8X Flechette weapon and a WATSM. While this is the situation on the ground, Royal Cochin Navy has also joined in the game by attacking the Rebel Army naval forces that are stationed off the course of Karachi to support the invasion troops. The Sub Continental Defense Network would ensure that no hostile vessel can remain undetected in the Cochin waters from a distance of 200 NM and any gullible Rebel Army navy vessel which dared to venture in would find itself continually tracked by both submarine, airborne and terrestrial systems of the Royal Cochin Navy. At the commencement of the jamming attack to interior, the coastal defense groups would start their own attacks. At least 30 POSID Anti Shipping Missiles and 20 SHARM Anti Radiation Missiles each would be fired per Rebel Army warship from coastal batteries. This would also be followed by the launching of 3 GN12 ASBM each against per warship by TEL launchers scattered along the coast. At the same time other batteries in the region would also fire salvos of 25 GN12 Anti Ship Ballistic Missiles each targetting each of the Aircraft Carriers and frigates of Rebel Army located in the Arabian Sea and Red Sea region. 50 GG20 Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles armed with SOP packages carrying BKT-1 and BKT-2 Bunker Buster and Deep penetration High Explosive bombs would also be launched at the Suez Canal to ensure that Rebel Army's mediterranean forces be cut off from the Red Sea forces. Massive GG20 Conventional munitions attacks would also be launched at every port, naval base and shipyard of Rebel Army, concentrating particularly on the docks, the fuel bunkers, the armory and Command and Control buildings, with around 20 GG20s launched per target. This is apart from a concentrated attack on every known airbase, important tunnels, major railway junctions, Fuel Storage centers, Fuel processing industries from Iran to Greexe, with at least 10 GG20's launched per target of importance. The Kingdom knew that retaliatory strikes would come, but the Kingdom had reserves to fight on and it would be fighting on lands of its own with reserves it knows about to fight whereas the Rebel Army would have to fight as an army on expedition and the Kingdom was going to ensure that fuel and supplies, the lifeblood of modern armies would be denied to Rebel Army. Rebel Army's armed forces invading the Kingdom may have integral fuel supplies but barely to advance more than 250 kms in combat conditions, but that is 250 kms that Kingdom is prepared to withdraw before striking back to destroy the invading army.

KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Super, mega, ultra, unreadable-because-it-was-delivered-by-hand secret communique to UFE high command: It has been made clear that no negotiations will happen to end this war. We believe that the only way to spare the Cochinian population is to end the war as quickly as possible, and we offer our help in doing so. The city of Beed, although now rundown and backwards, still contains a great deal of cultural sights associated with the first Marscurian Empire. Located 150 miles from Mumbai, an occupation of the city would draw forces away from the city and the coast, should the war progress that far. We have 50,000 men, along with tanks and heavy artillery that could be airdropped into Beed to quickly capture it. With resupply by air, we could survive a siege for months, all while dealing constant damage to the attacking forces. In the case the the conflict truly spreads to the Indian subcontinent, we need your help with the invasion, as we lack any kind of heavy lifting airplane. What do you say?

king of cochin Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 [quote name='Centurius' timestamp='1322412261' post='2853789'] The order came in only minutes after Rebel Army had started its assault and all frontline forces knew what had to be done. The XIII and XVI Corps were the first to come into action, one of the most mobile(XIII) and most powerful(XVI) elements of the Fourth Army they would focus on dealing a decisive blow to the defenses. M1201s would use their extensive suite of sensors and small UAVs to identify and select targets at the Cochin side of the border, this intelligence would be reinforced by the U-2s at a near-space altitude and satellites in space. Once targets were selected the actual fighting could begin. Two U-1A squadrons went into the air flying towards the Cochin border at their top speed of Mach .9, these UCAVs would be followed by F-1s at a greater distance the goal was to both deal a decisive blow to the Cochin defenses and identify and destroy Anti-Air systems. Early that afternoon the U-1s would appear, the UCAVs relied mostly on their advanced stealth and small size, for its own defense it only had a single DEW which could take down incoming missiles however not much more. The primary target would be fuel and weapon depots with a secondary objective being Anti-Air defenses and RADAR facilities. Each UCAV was armed with two Small Diameter Bombs, once in range of their targets the bombs would be dropped where GPS and laser guidance took over to deliver the weapons to their target. If any anti-air systems were activated to stop the advance or RADAR detected the U-1 would send the information on locations back to the two F-1 squadrons who were following them, of course the U-1s would also seek to disable any incoming missiles and evade AAA. Once the location of these systems were identified the F-1s would use NGTAMs and their directed energy weapons to destroy them. If any hostile aircraft would try to intercept either the U-1s or the F-1s they would be in for a surprise. At the same time as this air assault happened the artillery kicked in too, 1,000 M1203 NLOS-Cannons deployed along the border began firing smart munitions at both targets identified by the air and space assets and the anti-air facilities reported by the U-1s. The secondary objectives would be larger military formations along the Cochin side of the border and finally the tertiary objectives would be weapons and fuel depots. In essence Cochin forces were looking at a massive barrage from the air and the ground. The XIV and XV Corps would remain at their current positions however were ordered to dig in and prepare for a defense against Cochin forces on the other side. [img]http://data.treksimming.com/cn/cochin.png[/img] [/quote] The mountains are the favorite hunting grounds of the soldiers of Cochin. Thus it was with great relish that the Border Guard brigades in the Batken and Osh sectors welcomed the Athenian attacks. The Athenian expeditionary forces were being monitored thoroughly ever since their first units started moving from their home territory so there was literally no surprise that Athenians could keep from the Strategic Reconnaissance Agency. However the Border Guard Brigades in these sectors have been defending and protecting these borders for decades and over time they had perfected the great art of maskirovska that the Soviet Union of yore had created and perfected them with tools of modern warfare. What Athenians or any enemies would see is whatever the Kingdom would will them to see. The mountainous terrain of the Osh and Batken provinces had no roads towards the historically Rebel Army and Dalmatian dominated regions. Whatever roads were leading from the borders to the hinterland and these had special defenses of their own. As the ranked armies of the Athenian XIII and XVI Corps ( their designations were learned from SRA and NIA intercepts) move towards the outermost border stations would be found to be empty. As the armies would be forced to hack their way for their mechanized units through their infantry, the numerous hidden remotely operated weapons mounts would start to wreak havoc on the attacking infantry and the armor support. The Bali AGDS munitions would be joined by supplementary flechette dispersal munitions fired by the Maelstorm Munition Mounts. The UAVs would only get some bare minutes to see this carnage affecting the lead elements of the Athenian armies before they themselves would be wiped out. Apart from the hundreds of S-RECO UAVs that are launched to provide greater tactical coverage to the already redundant reconnaissance network are several SD2 and SD2R Surface to Air Missiles which would wipe these UAVs within minutes. The fast approaching UCAVs would also be detected well in time by the Anti Air Defense Network and they would find themselves with the same fate as did the Rebel Army fighters to the south. The moment these fighters near 50 kilometers from the Cochin border the Surface to Air Missile batteries of the Border Guards would start firing their SD5, SD4 and SD3 Surface to Air Missiles. These missiles would be guided by the Hive Mind of the AADN to attack the incoming UCAV's tactically, not flying straight and dumb but being maneuvered individually by the AADN's computers. While the SD4s and SD3s would home in powered the SD5s would lob upwards to a height of around 50,000 ft before its munitions start flying down unpowered to prepare kill zones for the fighters. Closeted by the SD3 and SD4s they would create shrapnel zones to take out individual fighters. Aircrafts that make out of these kill zones would be engaged closer to the border would find themselves engaged by the SD2 and SD2R Infra red seeking missiles which would be fired in volleys of 10 per enemy aircraft. The fighters that still make it inside would find them finally engaged by each individual radars' 3 tiered CIWS and the maskirovska of microwave decoys. Despite thoroughly engaged in this manner any fighter still firing at the radars would finally be able to destroy two XL12 radars and damage a XL117 radar, altogether not a huge loss to the AADN. The attack from the U-1 Stealth UCAV had come in as a rude surprise to the AADN and the first indicator of an attack was when a weapon launch transient was observed in the vicinity of an XL117 radar. The transient was tracked to a feeble radar signature that seemed to be that of a stealth airplane. Concentrated radar sweep was done on the airspace and the U-1s were starting to be detected. Volleys of 3 SD3 and 3 SD2 SAMs would start to be fired at each of the U-1s but the damage was already done. Three XL12s and two XL117 radars were destroyed and two XL12s damaged. Though the redundant measures were still far from being needed, this caused some frowns to the technicians of AADN. Radar sweep data from the airspace are being studied to detect the ignored anomalies so that any signature relevant to the U-1s may be tracked, located and targeted so that the data be shared with the rest of the AADN network. The F1s would of course be engaged at the moment of nearing 50 kms from Cochin borders by the AADN's multi dimensional radar coverage and be engaged with 10 SD4s and ten SD3s each per aircraft. Since the radars are located to the interior, it would require the the Athenian fighters to come well within the targeting range of the AADNs before they are able to fire their weapons, which would themselves find themselves being intercepted by the various CIWS measures. The Artillery barrage by the Athenians being expected as being of norm would anyway be interdicted by the STHAL Artillery Interdiction Devices with the Border Guard brigades or bounce off the reinforced armor that defines the bunkers of the region. However before being suppressed themselves the M1203 cannons would draw some casualties in the form of two BRDMs carrying some infantry and three bunkers whose ammunition magazine were unfortunately struck. A fuel storage was also struck which blew up due to a direct hit on its exposed fueling pods as a BRDM was refueling. Nearly twenty thousand tonnes of fuel exploded killing the local security team and the soldiers in the BRDM. For the loss of these 57 soldiers however the Royal Cochin Army gave a sharp reply. The moment the cannons had fired at the border defenses orders to fire were itself given several hundred kilometers to the rear to SOP Artiller Battalions. Around 100 GG10 Short Range Ballistic Missiles were fired from around 10 SOP Battalions at the coordinates of the Artillery guns. Each GG10 armed with a WATSM carrying BLU-108 munitions would engage the Self Propelled Guns. As the WATSMs read the target altitude the WATSMs would loiter in the area for around 20 minutes while dispensing their 4 GB4 munitions each carrying 10 BLU 108 canisters each with 4 Smart Projectiles. For the nearly 100 WATSMs launched a total of around 1600 Smart munitions would be in the air looking for a variety of targets for which they are programmed amongst which Main Battle Tanks and Self Propelled Guns are of the highest priority. This massive counter attack would of course be followed by a volley of fire from around 10 MRLS belonging to the Border Guard Brigade of each sector which would add their own anti armor and anti personnel cluster munition rounds to the melee before skooting off to their next defensive outpost. While the first attack had been blunted due to the geographical advantages of the sector further attacks may not go the same way. However the counter offensive would go on. Yet more massive barrages of GG10 SRBMs armed with conventional SOP munitions would meet the the XIV and XV Corps that border the West Kashgar sector. Fully a Hundred GG10s each would engage each of the divisions with a variety of SOP packages including WATSMs, NNEMPs and GOABs. Shortly after the payloads of these missiles drop towards the coordinates occupied by these two units the melee would be joined by a full regiment (4 squadrons) of Jadayu Mark 4s which would launch a full payload of SHRIKE Air to Surface Missiles at the two Corps formations. The 48 stealth Multi Role Combat fighters of the regiment would launch the munitions from just 15 kms within the Cochin border at the units before making sharp turns to return to their bases for rearming. With another squadron from the RF13 regiment providing rear support in case of attacking Athenian fighters, the Regiment's fighters would also have an AIM-R and an AIM-H of their own in case of a melee. This combined munition would serve as a considerable softening of the two Corps formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of cochin Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Centurius' timestamp='1322412261' post='2853789'] At an entirely different side of the world a different kind of attack would be prepared, St. Helena was not only a strategic threat to the allies but also evidence of Cochin imperialism in the Atlantic. The decision was made it had to be destroyed, no matter the cost. The first wave of the attack would be in the form of space assets, 10 ICBMs armed with warheads based on tungsten would be launched from silos in Athens, Lisbon, Rome and Grand Bahama, the decision was made to use a large amount as this increased the chance at least one or more got through. The large amount of missiles would hopefully also cause some form of chaos among Cochin ranks. This would be abused by the second wave. From HAFB Milan two B-11 Squadrons went into the air, the bulk of their trip would be spent at Mach 8 in the high atmosphere however at about 1500km north of St. Helena the bombers descended to a normal altitude and to their Super cruise speed of Mach 2.7, by now 36 F-1s would be at a distance of between 150 to 100 km behind the bombers, their purpose was to intercept Cochin fighters. While the B-11s had their own defenses, and several at that it was deemed too risky to let them fly without a CAP behind them. Once at the required range for an attack the bombers would unload all their weapons, in this case a total of 384 ER-M-51 missiles were fired. Ships in or near the island would get 5 missiles each while the rest would target military facilities and other valuable targets not hit by the ICBMs. Once all missiles were fired the bombers would turn around and go their maximum speed as fast as possible to return safely to Milan. The F-1 cap would also begin heading back to the HNS Zeus however a few minutes after the bombers turned back to take down Cochin aircraft pursuing the bombers. Meanwhile the Atlantic Fleet and Cape Verde was preparing for revenge, satellites had confirmed there were still Cochin ships in the Atlantic and great care would be taken those would be unable to damage either the fleet or Cape Verde. On Cape Verde F-70 interceptors had gone into the air, at all times these unmanned interceptors would be ready to intercept Cochin bombers. The Atlantic Fleet would prepare for both anti-submarine warfare and battles against surface ships, missiles and guns were prepared while attack submarines actively went into a hunter mode against both surface ships and enemy submarines. [/quote] The Base Officer Commanding RCNB St Helena watched the consoled in his bunker as the launch alerts for 10 ICBMs were received. Out here in Atlantic, the Kingdom's Bright Star defense did not cover the Atlantic Ocean but St Helena had been fortified accordingly to face the Athenian threat. To intercept each ICBM at least 10 SDA6s and 20 SD5s were launched, but only six of the ICBMs were intercepted. The remaining four ICBMs wrought havoc on the Garrisons of RCNB St Helena. Two of three principal docks were damaged thoroughly in the tungsten warhead attacks and the Control Tower of the FAB St Helena were obliterated. Most devastating however was the impact of one of the warhead rounds near one of the Garrisons of the Third Marine Division. Nearly 350 soldiers died and around 200 more were injured in the devastating attack. Even as the effects of the this attack were sinking in, alerts started to be sounded of another attack. The missile attacks from the Athenian bombers would be detected by the AADN built around St Helena and counter measures would start. The five tiered CIWS of the AADN starting from JWAL lasers, SD3, SD2 and SD2R Anti Missile SAMs and finally RAM Missiles, STHAL Lasers and Gatling Cannons would ensure that of the 384 inbound missiles at least 360 are intercepted before impact. However the 24 missiles that do get through would wreak further havoc by destroying a massive fuel bunk adjacent to the FAB ST Helena, destroying completely two Auxiliary Support Fleet Replenishment Vessels and three Karachi Class Missile boats. With the Royal Cochin Navy having withdrawn almost all of its surface navy from Atlantic Ocean to defend home waters, there would be no targets for the Athenian Navy, but the reverse wont be true. At the very moment of the detection of first ICBM from Athenian Federation GN12 Anti Ship Ballistic Missiles would start to be fired from the naval outposts at Belmonte, Challenger and Nordeste islands of the St Peter and St Paul Archipelago. Five ASBMs each would be launched towards each Athenian and enemy allied warship between St Helena and Cape Verde. From the Mobile Offshore Base 2 located 2000 kms to the West of Cape Verde TEL launchers would start yet another barrage of attack at the Athenian Federation. This northernmost RCN outpost in Atlantic was built for this single purpose alone. To be a platform for a devastating counter attack should Athenians strike Cochin. From the seven modules of the MOB2 10 GG19 ICBMs each would be launched at Athens, Lisbon, Rome, Grand Bahamas, Cape Verde and at every Athenian Naval Base and port in the Atlantic Ocean. Ten missiles would also be fired at the Rebel Army owned Unity Island near Gibraltar. It was definite that there would be counter attack in which no one would be spared but the Sailors and soldiers manning the MOB2 were prepared to face death to deliver the ire of their nation to their enemies. With the next and last salvo of TEL missiles readied, these soldiers and marines would get the rappelling ropes ready so that they may escape in the rescue boats they had tethered near the MOB modules.

king of cochin Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 [quote name='Malatose' timestamp='1322418748' post='2853864'] [b]Air War[/b] Before the ground and artillery attacks had begun, the Luftwaffe was launched into the skies. For this operation, Luftwaffe Field Marshal Maximillian Weichs ordered the entire force into the skies to combat The Kingdom of Cochhin. Such an attack was unprecedented in the history of the nation's air offensive operations. However, Weichs felt the need to knock out the Cochinese defensive and offensive structure in one spectacular blow. Leading the charge was the nation's GLI-122 Blitz Bombers. One squadron was dedicated to knocking out Cochin's communications network, using conventional means. The conventional means was, of course, air launched cruise missiles equipped with High-power microwave(HPM)/ E-Bomb warheads. In order to avoid being targeted or even attacked by enemy defensive networks, the bombers flew in specifically designated air zones in Germany's own airspace under the cover of the nation's own defensive networks. As the targets were designated (twelve in all), the missiles were launched to specific air detonation points across Cochin. The air detonations would cause untold havoc across the enemies communication grids. Unlike conventional EMP attacks that disable non-shielded electronic devices including practically any modern electronic device within the effective range of the weapon, the High Power Microwave/E Bomb has the capability to penetrate not only radio front-ends, but also the most minute shielding penetrations throughout the equipment. The HPM generates a very short, intense energy pulse producing a transient surge of thousands of volts that kills semiconductor devices. With the launch of the High-power microwave(HPM)/ E-Bomb warheads, the Cochinese communications network would be in disarray. However, the air assault wasn't completed. The second stage of the suppression operation commenced. Despite the fact that the High-power microwave(HPM)/ E-Bomb could have put the enemies RADAR network out of service, the attacks still moved forward. The rest of the nineteen GLI-122 Blitz bombers, loaded with three Valhalla Air-Launched Air Defense Suppression Missiles, began to release death on the enemies RADAR sites. 684 missiles, using their ducted rocket-ramjet with throttle control and 3D TVC, glided forward at a speed of Mach 4.6. Despite the fact that some RADAR networks were probably down from the previous HMP attack, the RADAR sites still leaked small amounts of electronic transmissions. Using advanced passive radar-homing seeker with additional home-on-jam capabilities against ground-based radar jammers, the missiles would glide and utterly wipe out the Cochin RADAR sites. If the missile was unable to detect a RADAR site, the missile would switch to GPS mode and hit the next best thing which would be vehicles and SAM launchers themselves. The GLI-122 Bombers had completed their missions and turned around to return to base. There, they would refuel and rearm for the next mission, which would be soon going by the current state of affairs. The last bombers left in the skies were ten squadrons of the massive GLI-133 Ank'ríat Super Heavy Bombers. Having six external hard points for 59,000 lb (27,000 kg) of ordnance and 5 internal bomb bays for 75,000 lb (34,000 kg) of ordnance, these bombers were prepared to wipe out targets in a matter of minutes. Using their spacious loading zones, the bombers were loaded with at least ten "Aurora" hypersonic cruise missiles apiece. After being unleashed into the wild blue skies, the engines screamed to life and began to push the missiles towards Germany. Soon, the missiles had hit their maximum speed of Mach 5.5 and were destined towards important roads, fuel depots, bridges and other points of strategic interest. This would be the last air attack as the bombers returned home, ready to refuel for the next mission. Space: The Final Frontier "Orbital Analysis complete. We are detecting enemy space assets." Alert all commands. Prepare for launch" [i]Now launching From six silos located deep in the Empire, six V-2012-D Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles launched into space. However, it's goal was to not reign nuclear destruction on an enemy territory. It's goal was to destroy Cochin's satellite capabilities. After the missiles went through the normal phases, the only thing left were warheads equipped with 8x 'Blue Rod' SIM-666 Anti-Satellite Kinetic Kill Vehicles. After being unleashed, the Kinetic Kill Vehicles streamed towards the satellites smashing through them with pure kinetic energy. The goal was to either disable or destroy the satellites. [/quote] The moment the German bombers came to within 400 kms of Cochin borders, the AADN had detected and had started preparing intercept solutions on the incoming bombers. With the radars situated at a minimum of 50 kms behind the Cochin borders, it would give plenty of time for the SD5 missile batteries operated by the Border Guard brigades of the sector to make short work of them. The lead squadron of German GLI-122 would find each of its aircrafts targetted by at least 3 SD5s to begin with and as they breach the 200 km reach from Cochin borders, each of the GLI-122s remaining would find themselves facing another 3 SD4s chasing them. As the bombers dare venture nearer to Cochin air space they would find the mauling more and more severe. If any GLI-122 bombers did manage to fire any of their vaunted (HPM)/ E-Bomb missiles before they were shot down, the missiles would continue to be engaged by the layered CIWS of the AADN. Even after some of the cruise missiles detonated above the Cochin airspace it would hardly make a dint in the Anti Air Defense Network, which along with the SADN were after all the first recipients of the Project Gold Shield that replaced electronic circuits in key defense and offense systems with photonic circuits. The only casualties of the the E-Bomb attacks conducted by the Germans were two sheep and a dog on top of whom an old model S-RECO crashed on top of after its circuits were fried by the E-Bomb attacks. With the new generation S-RECOs being equipped with photonic circuits were barely affected. If even after the mauling suffered by the first squadron a second batch of GLI-122s approached to attack Cochin they would once again be engaged at long range by SD5 and SD4 Surface to Air Missiles, 3 for each plane and at shorter range by the SD3, SD2 and SD2R missiles. If any of these aircraft did manage to launch their missiles before being wiped out of the sky by the SAMs, the incoming Valhalla Air-Launched Air Defense Suppression Missiles would also face the five layers of Cochin CIWS in the form of Anti Missile SAMs, JWAL Laser system, RAM Missile system, STHAL Artillery Interdiction Devide and Gatling cannons. Of the say 684 missiles the GLI-122s launched before being swatted off, around 54 would make it through the five layers of defense before finally falling prey to the final card in the AADN's table, the maskirovska around the radar installations themselves. Fooled into the center of the elliptoid of microwave emitters of varying intensity which would seem to be one when intercepted from afar, these missiles would mostly strike empty ground. However 6 of the missiles would find targets with two of them completely destroying a XL117 radar, two of them damaging two XL12 radars and two missiles killing the Colonel commanding the local Border Guards Brigade and his company of aides and security who were unlucky enough to be passing by the center of the radar installation's passive defense in a convoy of jeeps at the time of attack. The fate of the now destroyed GLI-122s would befell the ten squadrons that had to their misfortune made the mistake of appearing on the Cochin radars. Even as SD5s are launched 4 apiece at the heavy bombers they may have the chance to launch the Aurora cruise missiles which would however find themselves being intercepted by several scores of CIWS nests as they get eliminated one by one. The 120 bombers would have launched 1200 cruise missiles before being wiped out themselves and these missiles would be severely attenuated by the CIWS defenses from the borders all throughout the nation. The wisdom of Cochin military planners in installing 5 tiered CIWS defenses for every logistical points came to fruition now as all but 25 of the cruise missiles get intercepted. The twenty five cruise missiles that make it through the CIWS defenses would eventually destroy, ten fuel stations, four bridges and a water storage tank. Ministry of Transportation which had Emergency repair crews assisted by Corps of Engineers would start immediately to repair the damages and restore communication. The retaliation for the German temerity would however be felt before the first of these bridges collapsed completely. The first target of Cochin ire would of course be German army units who are arrayed in the German Protectorate. Their movement had been tracked by Strategic Reconnaissance Agency and the laughable hiding measures by this expeditionary army was brought naught in front of the ever watching electronic eyes in orbit and in air. GG10 SRBMs armed with WATSMs and GOABs would be launched at these amassed forces at the moment the first GLI-122 fired its munition at Cochin. Nearly 300 of these GG10s would be joined by TBADS GG10s. These Tactical Ballistic Air Defense Systems are armed with 6 UCAVs with 4 Air to Air missiles each. At reentry the payload of the GG10 releases the UCAV which become high speed unpowered gliders capable of unleashing destruction on the enemy fighters beneath. Working well within the targeting range of the AADN, these UAVs would derive guidance information from them to launch AIM-R and AIM-H missiles at enemy fighters and bombers patrolling beneath them. Nearly 50 TBADS GG10s would be launched to sanitize the Cochin borders of any German aircraft. The German ASAT attack did manage to destroy 48 Cochin satellites which added to the debris of an orbit which would soon be full of debris, but this hardly created a hiccough in the reconnaissance capabilities of SRA. The location of each of these silos were tracked and immediately 3 GG20 IRBMs each armed with 4 BKT2 deep penetration High explosive bunker busters would be launched at each of the launch silos. Meanwhile around 200 hundred SDA-6s were launched into air by Tatra 8x8 TELs from all over Kazakh provinces to destroy German and allied satellites all over Central Asia. Similar flights are also taking place all over the Kingdom as several JM4s are joining the combat aircraft of the Strategic Command Squadron to destroy every single tracked satellite belonging to any enemy nation that traverses over the Kingdom of Cochin using their AIM-SAs. Be it of military significance of non military significance, every single one of those are being destroyed. Meanwhile from the SLCs all over the Kingdom Launch rockets are taking off to restore the reconnaissance capabilities lost in the German attack. Reinforced by the Project Shani they would be able to tilt the game in their favor in case Germans or any of the enemy tried out anything else. The retaliation is however still not complete as every fuel depot, railway marshaling yard, bridge, tunnel or airport from Karagandy until Black Sea are being targeted by ten GG20 each, all launched from TELs. Special consideration would be given to all Airbases known to host Airborne tankers of Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of cochin Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Triyun' timestamp='1322421504' post='2853894'] With the declaration of war, nearly two thousand short and medium range ballistic missiles across the broad front of the UFE Cochinese border were rapidly fired across the border. Among these multiple units exploded in the atmosphere deploying chaff and decoys to confuse the tracking systems on enemy radar systems. This was quickly followed by hundreds of anti-radiational seeking manuverable warheads designed to blind the enemy's tactical radar systems in the area. Simultanously B-11 bombers operating at approximately 300 kilometers from the border, would fire a volley of anti-satellite missiles to knock out the synethetic aperture radar systems in low orbit, which would provide the basis of the integrated air defenses along the border between the UFE and the Cochinese. This would be followed up by B-11 stand off strikes also inside Cochinese air defenses, targeting air fields which could launch tactical range aircraft up to 1000 kilometers range inside the Cochinese air defense system. The primary targeted air fields were ones rated to also launch AWAC and mid air refueler tankers. UFE F-5 fighters would be deployed in strike quantum configuration. A total of 108 of these aircraft would be used for the first hour infiltration of the integrated cochinese air defense system. The aircraft would have their own signal systems turned off. Instead they would rely on their large electro-optical scopes, and integrated electromagnetic absorbant smart skins to detect the enemies signals and for protection onto their targets. The enemies radar systems would be extremely difficult to deploy, as rather than reflect radar energy to the sides, the F-5 instead would absorb and convert it into thermal energy, which could be managed in the larger belly of the aircraft. The F-5s missions would be to target the general HQs of the Cochinese on the Eastern front and knock them out of the fight early, throwing the enemy battle line into disarray. Secondary objectives would be as a bait for integrated enemy air defenses. With its enormous capability in air to air and electronic attack, as well as basic structural kinematic advantage versus the Jd. Mk 4, the F-5s would be more than a match for anything the Cochinese sent out to play. On the UFE side of the border, multiple moving artillery positions fired guided rounds deep into cochinese territory, targeting troop emplacements, bunkers, and other targets softening push for the inevitable advance that would occur. In the air the UFE had now replaced much of its vulnerable assets to spread out areas over a large range to make it difficult for the Cochinese to launch an anti-access attack against the UFE air force. In the air squadrons of F-1 and F-2 fighters moved through the skies supported by stealth skyhawk AWACs and EWACs, Tu-160 rudolphs, ultra high altitude look down UAVs, and F-3s. Additionally stealthy A-47s roamed the skies at low altitude for mid air refueling and close fire support. At the same time 60 B-10s would do a hypersonic strike against Urumqi. They would fire a total of 360 ER-M-51s firing into command centers, military units, air control towers, and national defense oriented government centers in the greater metropolitan area before running like hell away from SAMs Missile Defenses were readied across broad front if the Cochinese prepared to make a move on other fronts. [/quote] The missiles being lobbed by the UFE signalled the start of the battle that had always been expected with UFE. The incoming ballistic missiles would be mostly destroyed by the layered CIWS of AADN. The chaff and decoys launched by the UFE were only a minor hindrance as the counter to such attacks had already been figured out by the AADN through several decades of combat exercises. The clutter from chaff and decoys soon filtered out, the AADN soon detected the hundreds of incoming Anti Radiation missiles. The missiles' presence would immediately trigger the layered CIWS which would beat most of the missiles however ten XL12s and four XL117 radars would end up being destroyed, hardly a bump in the multiple redundant AADN of East Xinjiang and Tibet sectors. The blinding of the LEO satellites by the B-11s would be a sudden loss of one dimension of situational awareness but as and when the first of the satellites started getting intercepted, several hundred sounding rockets started to be launched. Each sounding rocket which contained a rapid deployment helium balloon designed by Varma Institude for Fundamental Research from its research for moon missions which would deploy to an altitude of 100,000 ft from where the SAR radars carried by these balloons would come active over the battlespace. Powered by state of art nanocell batteries [s]with additional power receiving capability from the Tesla SPS[/s], these would swiftly compensate for the loss of the satellites until replaced by more satellites by CSRO. OOC: Edited out on learning this concept is not practical. IC: The remaining B-11s nearing Cochin Air Space would be targetted now by at least 10 SD5s, four SD3s and 4 SD2Rs before they are able to fire further munitions. The Cochin defense protocol thus ensuring that the UFE plan to disorient and disrupt Cochin Air Defense Network to be unsuccessful, these bombers would swiftly be destroyed by the fast incoming Surface to Air Missiles receiving continual guidance information from the AADN grid. Any missiles launched by these B-11s before getting destroyed or limping back to UFE would find themselves being engaged by the single largest CIWS defense network in the world, hundreds of interlocking webs of the 5 layered AADN CIWS. Only around 5 of these missiles would eventually find target destroying two HALOB AWACS, three MERAT Tankers and a Metac. Several TBADS GG10s were launched into the skies at the commencement of the aerial attack and the UCAVs launched by the payload of these TBADS would be the first meeting with the F-5s. The unpowered UCAVs gliding in at high speed from above would be able to get terminal guidance on the F-5s through their thermal signature and of course from their fast movement as captured by the SAR balloons With each TBADS launching 6 UCAVs with 4 Air to Air munitions, the hundred TBADs launched in the initial volley would by itself manage to target many of the incoming UFE fighters. They would also be joined in the fast developing Air Combat by fully 4 regiments of JM4 fighters which through their greater technological prowess would outgun and outmaneuver the UFE fighters that too assisted by the AADN which would pickle out even more F-5s based on additional targeting information from the JM4s. Nearly equally matched it would be a dog fight of colossal proportions in the skies above Cochin borders in Xinjiang. The artillery rounds fired by the UFE ground forces would be hardly an irritant for the well entrenched Border Guards troops manning the Xinjiang defenses. Each artillery round would find its origins targetted by S-RECO UAVs and millimeter wave radars on the ground, with each attack being retaliated by a full salvo from a MRLS towards the attacker. The incoming F1 and F2 fighters, AWACS, EWACS, Tu-160s, UAVs and F3s and A47s would now find that the initial attack not gone as well for UFE as planned they themselves would start getting engaged by marauding squads of JM4s which now patrol the Cochin border skies. If the United Federation of the East is arrogant enough to think that the AADN would rupture in a single attack they would find themselves very wrong. OOC: Edited out[b]The resounding beatback to the UFE air attack would also ensure that B-10s would not be able to attack Urumqi with impunity. The Anti Air Defense Network was hurt but not rent in the first day's battle.[/b] IC: The B-10s that cross the Cochin border would find themselves being detected by the AADN and immediately being chased by swarms of SD5 SAMs launched by the Border Guards. These bombers would also find themselves actively painted by around a full squadron of HALOB AWACS each with their 12 MW radars. The 60 B-10s would also find themselves engaged by 2 squadrons of JM4 stealth MRCAs which would continue engaging the B10s all the way. The TBADS battalions would ensure that no UFE fighters would be permitted to come unharried to the aid of these beleaguered B-10s. Even as the defense operations are going on at full swing, the counter attack from Cochin also starts. Nearly a thousand GG10s armed with WATSMs are being launched from TEL launchers to target principal logistical structures of UFE including railway marshalling yards, bridges, tunnels, fuel stocks and airfields. From South of India a dozen GG20s are also being launched at each of UFE owned port and naval base in Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. Missiles launched from Andaman and Nicobar would also target the UFE constructed shipping canal connecting Andaman Sea with Gulf of Thailand. At least ten GN12 Anti Ship Ballistic Missiles each would also be launched at every UFE warship in the waters of Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea or Bay of Bengal.

Voodoo Nova Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 The Irish military began their offensive at the same time the Rebel's began theirs. Sixty Lu-65's and an AWACS aircraft hit the skies from Iran to support Rebel Army in their air operations. They were equipped with 3 Anti-radiation missiles a piece. Ground radar systems would assist the air forces. On the ground, anti-radiation missiles were launched by 75 mobile SSM systems, 3 per system, at Cochin radar installations. Satellites began taking pictures of the Protectorate-Cochin border. 150,000 troops were ordered to support Rebel Army near Gosree. Another 150,000 would support the Rebel Army advance. Combat patrols began with the Lu-65 squadrons alongside the air forces of Rebel Army. They remained at 40 kilometers away from the border, then fired their anti-radiation missiles at enemy radar targets. The AWACS, from about 100km from the border, began to note of enemy troop advances near the border and to support the troop advances with information about detected possible installations. After the missile bombardment, the aircraft flew back to the 100km mark for safety. 25% of the artillery forces began their bombardment of suspected troop and base locations as well, from 5km from the protectorate border. After the bombardment, the forces would move back to a new position. Drones began flying over the advancing troops, as support for the advancement and as recon for air support. In the Atlantic, the Irish fleet had met up with the Athenian and Swedish fleets. Air patrols already began to protect the ships, and helicopters and UAV's were to search for submarines. The IMC Dublin-Class nuclear submarines formed two flotillas of 5. The first flotilla was ordered to search for enemy submarines, the other to protect the fleet. The other ships went in to formation around the Carriers and destroyers. Missiles were prepared to protect against surface-to-surface and air-to-surface attacks. Ship defenses were put on high alert for any possible attack against the fleet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of cochin Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 [quote name='TheShammySocialist' timestamp='1322424645' post='2853939'] With the activation of the obligatory terms of the Sino-Swedish Defense Pact, the Swedish Expeditionary Force would move into action across Central Asia. As attacks progressed against the Kingdom of Cochin from the other members of the coalition, the Swedish Air Force and Ground Forces began their own machinations along a fairly long stretch of the Kyrgyz Border. SAT-400 Aerial Gunships had withdrawn before dawn, their FLIR systems and extensive sensor suite, tied in with those of the SARC-135 Strategic Reconnaissance Aircraft and SAT-400EW Electronic Warfare Aircraft having done their work. Working on gathered intelligence from these craft, as well as satellites and MQ-10 [i]Avenger[/i] UCAVs operating in the region, especially around Bishkek, the Swedish Expeditionary Force entered the war in a much more slow and calculated operation. As aircraft from the Greater German [i]Luftwaffe[/i] soared overhead, self-propelled 105mm howitzers would begin opening up with two to three rounds, then suddenly switch position. Along the entirety of the Kyrgyz province border, from Chaldybar clear along the border to Leninskoye, the batteries began shelling potential positions of Cochin military forces. The rest of the Swedish artillery would remain eerily silent, as the sound of the one-oh-fives rumbled along the border, along with the sound of their engines revving as they shifted positions as if in a choreographed dance. Having taken care to try to camouflage their positions as best as they could, Swedish infantry and tank positions stayed silent, troops huddling in their covered holes and dugouts as they awaited further orders and listened to the battle around them. Company commanders and their forward observer teams watched the fall of artillery and would report any further movement or points of interest using secure communications links via the NORDCOMM system. Each platoon leader was equipped with a mobile computer with secured digital uplinks that allowed them to track local artillery batteries, and help direct the fall of the fire as the regimental guns opened up with a withering fire. Swedish support aircraft had been withdrawn slowly away from the border as the offensive opened, and as the guns below them would open up, the combat craft of the Swedish Air Force slowly stacked up into tactical formations of four aircraft west of the border. The Swedish Air Force had already established a combat air patrol over its ground force counterparts, using SAF-44 stealth fighters in the front line, followed by a secondary line of the newest production runs of the SAF-9 [i]Wargaz[/i], Sweden’s advanced domestic-produced stealth fighter. The third line would be made up of contingents of the SAF-1, the designation for the UFE-produced F-1 [i]Quantum[/i]. As the war opened, these combat air patrols would pull slightly off the border, to a range of about fifty nautical miles for the first line, with the SAF-1 maintaining patrols at one-hundred and fifty nautical miles. Without little warning, a group of six SAB-1R Regional Strike Aircraft which had been loitering a little northeast of the Caspian would begin launching six low-observable AGM-158 Stand-Off Munitions each at more than two hundred nautical miles distance towards Bishkek. These large standoff cruise missiles, which had stealthy profiles and heat-reduced signatures would aim at electric grid hubs and the defense apparatus near Bishkek, three of the AGM-158s carrying combined effects munitions heading straight for the cities’ airport to target the runways. As the AGM-158s left the racks of the SAB-1Rs, twelve SAF-44s loitering on a combat air patrol would launch two anti-radiation missiles each, aiming for radar installations around the Bishkek region. SAB-22 Stealth Tactical Strike Aircraft would start off air defense suppression missions as they began deploying significant amounts of chaff ahead of the lines of Swedish aircraft arrayed at about fifty kilometers away from the border, the SAB-22s would launch chaff at around forty-five kilometers from the border before scooting away. Their weapons bays would quickly shut as fast as they had opened. The progress of the AGM-158s and AGM-88s would be watched by operators of SAQ-47 Stealth UCAVs that would loiter closer than normal to the border, at around forty-five kilometers. Using onboard FLIR systems, they would track the missiles as they homed in on targets, confirming hits and watching for defensive reactions. Flying at their lowest speeds to try to reduce their signatures, the SAQ-47s were already low-observable platforms. If any aircraft were detected incoming from the Royal Cochin Air Force, their eventual progress would be picked up by the variety of land-based and air-based sensor systems that Sweden had put in place throughout the region. Electro-optical cameras, low-frequency radars, AESA trailers, and frequency-hopping mid-range radars all were engaged in tracking the skies for the Swedish Air Force. Not only this, Swedish AWACS aircraft, as well as the fighters themselves were watching for targets over the horizon. Fighters would then be directed to interception vectors if targets were pegged as inbound, with SAF-44 MANTA Stealth Fighters engaging first, before SAF-9s and SAF-1s, which would engage at standoff range first before moving in to engage at closer ranges. On the other side of the world, in the Atlantic, while the Athenians launched their massive bombardment of St. Helena, the Swedish Fleet would just continue sailing in formation with the Athenian vessels. Carrier air patrols had already been established, and AWACS aircraft were providing backup for the Swedish Fleet Air Arm. Anti-Submarine Warfare patrols had been sent out utilizing helicopters, and forward-deployed littoral combat ships on picket duty. These carrier fighters, mainly imports from the UFE, SAF-168 Multirole Stealth Fighters, were augmented by SAF-9s and SAF-1s flying from Cape Verde, which were supplied with fuel by heavy mid-air refuelers. Ahead of the Swedish and Athenian fleets, the Swedish ‘silent service’ had set up a line of attack submarines, sailing in a spread-out staggered formation. The submarines would run on passive sonar, not engaging in active pinging, the line of submersibles made up of both diesel ultraquiets and nuclear attacks. To the rear, the Swedish surface fleet was in a protective formation around its most valuable ships, that being, of course, the carriers and amphibious warfare vessels. Frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and a duo of arsenal ships all were readied with all vertical launch tubes primed should the fleet need to engage in a massive surface-to-surface or surface-to-air engagement. Sweden’s commitment to the campaign had quickly begun… [/quote] The launch of the 36 missiles would be registered immediately by the Anti Air Defense Network and the CIWS nets all over the sector. The 200 NM of distance the missiles would have to cover to reach Bishkek would ensure that the network is fully primed to interdict them as best as possible. Starting from the Border Guard brigade defenses onwards and through every population centers and at vital infrastructural assets in the region, the five tiered CIWS nets would wreak considerable attrition on the incoming cruise missiles. Of the 36 cruise missiles fired, around 30 missiles are successfully intercepted but 6 of them successfully found targets destroying a major substation of Bishkek city, a laager of around 26 BTR99s and cratering one of the runways of the Forward Air Base Bishkek destroying in the process two Merat AWACS and a Merat ELINT that was in the process of making an emergency landing. The Anti Radiation missiles that follow these cruise missiles would also find themselves being engaged by the very same CIWS batteries that had intercepted the cruise missiles and this time the added advantage of the microwave maskirovska employed by the radar sites themselves would become an added advantage in neutralizing the effectiveness of the missiles that home in on the radar sources. No attempt would be made by RCAF to send interceptors to destroy these Swedish combat aircraft but the data accrued by the AWACS aircrafts in station and the other airborne reconnaissance assets in the sector would give a rough locations for the various Swedish AWACS that are controlling the Swedish air attack. Several hundred kilometers behind the frontlines SOP Battalions would fire two TBADS GG10 each at the location of every known AWACS of Swedish Air Force. Due to the lack of adequate radar coverage to provide tracking solutions via AADN, these TBADS would be differently configured. Among the 6 UCAVs launched by each GG10 payload one of the UCAVs would have an active powered radar to do a massive momentary high power radar sweep of the airspace before having its purpose getting finished. The targetting data from this UCAV would be conveyed to the other 5 UCAV which would launch its 4 Air to Air missiles at the found targets. With each Swedish AWACS being targetted by 2 TBADS GG10s, a total of 40 Air to Air missiles, a mixture of AIM-R and AIM-H missiles would race at the AWACS in a top attack fashion. The Ballistic launch would also ensure that not much time would be given to the AWACS to maneuver out of the kill zone. A secondary volley of GG10 SOP missiles would also target known airbases and supply depots supplying the Swedish armed expedition, with particular onus being given to airbases hosting AWACS and airborne tankers. Another massive barrage of around 300 GG10s with a combination of WTASM and GB8X flechette warheads would also be launched at the observed positions of Swedish Army. Another barrage of around 250 KUB2 Cruise Missiles would also be fired at all major bridges, tunnels, fuel and ammunition stores being used by the Swedes and their allies all over the German Protectorate. A long way away from home, that too in a protectorate that was always under the most stringent surveillance by the Strategic Reconnaissance Agency would not give much opportunity for Swedish Armed forces to hide their materiel.

So any ground defense support you may speak of would stop at Iran. Since this region was never Rebel Army sovereign territory as well, there is no chance of installations built earlier and now reclaimed. So long as you guys are aware that the entire white space from where you are attacking me have no built up defense installations. IC: The same fate that befell the initial Rebel Army missile barrage would be met by the 180 air launched and 225 ground launched Anti Radiation Missiles. Most of these 405 missiles being intercepted by CIWS nets all over the border and towards rear, only around 35 missiles would find their mark destroying 6 mobile radar vehicles, two XL12 radars and damaging 5 XL117 radars. With additional radars being brought online to compensate without needing redundant measures, the loss in AADN would be recompensed in a matter of minutes. The Lu65 squadrons of Ireland would also face the ire as the GG10 TBADS launched by SOP Battalions to the rear who would be mostly engaging the Close Air Support aircraft deployed by the Irish within 50 kms from the Cochin borders. Two TBADS would also be launched to destroy the Irish AWACS that is deployed 100 kms to the rear of frontlines. As the Artillery barrage started the Border Guards began waiting in their fortified bunkers waiting for the Irish to move into their defensive traps which stretch to a kilometer from the border. Millimeter wave radars aboard the S-RECOs, ground units and Aerostats would confirm the positions of the artillery which are of course also being monitored for several days by SRA Satellites, SKINTs and Raven UAVs would give the target coordinates to the SOP Battalions to the rear which would launch several GG10s at the Artillery locations. These barrages would also be joined by several MRLS launchers firing full salvos of cluster munition rockets at the positions of the artillery. In the Atlantic the barrage of ASBMs that were fired at Athenians and their allies would also be engaging the Irish naval forces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long way away from home, that too in a protectorate that was always under the most stringent surveillance by the Strategic Reconnaissance Agency would not give much opportunity for Swedish Armed forces to hide their materiel. [/quote] Personnel and staff officers at the forward tactical command post of Swedish Expeditionary Force Command, based in Tashkent, watched as their missiles disappeared before hitting targets. Most of them not completely surprised of the turn of events, as reports were filtering in about defensive responses to other coalition offensive movements. Imagery coming through from the forward-deploy SAQ-47s and MQ-10 [i]Avenger[/i] unmanned craft that were taking caution to prowl the skies over the battle-zone was working miracles, however. The preceding strike they had just launched had marked the beginning of Sweden’s offensive, and it was not going to peter out that quickly. However, warning indicators began popping up all over the screens as multiple ballistic missiles hurtled into the air from the other side of the border of the Kingdom of Cochin. They had seen other ballistic missiles flying at other coalition forces, but the early trajectories that were quickly worked out using radar imagery painted the stark picture; the Swedish forces were soon to be under an intense aerial bombardment. “Damn it,” cursed Lieutenant General Ludwig Horn, who was the nominal commander of the forward-deployed Swedish forces along the Cochin-German Protectorate Border. Turning to the Brigadier in charge of coordinating the ground aerial defenses, Horn nodded, “Bring everything on line,” before turning back to the monitors lining the wall of the basement headquarters he had set up, “We’re going to need it.” Turning to the lead aerial defense operations officer, the Brigadier would then issue orders to the entire frontline via the NORDCOMM system. Swedish troops that were out in the open made for the best cover they could find, most having built some sort of overhead protection on their foxholes, slit-trenches, and dugouts, they would huddle there as the counter-bombardment started. Many vehicle crews, including crews of the main battle tanks, had their own slit trenches and holes to rely on as well. One by one, Swedish air defense countermeasures came into effect along the lines of the Swedish soldiers and vehicles, the former huddling in holes as the ballistic missiles zipped through the sky. S-400 and S-500 mobile launchers began deploying multiple waves of anti-ballistic missile missiles at the incoming barrage, trying to thin out the massed ranks as much as possible. Some batteries would reload, while the others would quickly scoot to fallback positions pending possible retaliatory fire. The theatre-based systems would be able to account for at least a solid one hundred and five or so kills of the inbound ballistic missiles. A squadron of SAF-9 [i]Wargaz[/i] Stealth Fighters, working in tandem with ground based systems, moved closer to the frontlines, and would be able to account for frying eleven of the ballistic missiles’ systems with their microwave-based weaponry. On the ground, SASAMS systems from battalion headquarters companies up would open up with packs of four rolling-airframe missiles at the incoming missiles. The SASAMS would be able to probably account for an additional thirty ballistic missiles using their rolling airframe missiles. Some WATSMs would fall victim to these missiles as well after they broke away from the GG10 Ballistic Missiles. Last in line were the last-ditch defenses as the missiles began their descent onto the Swedish forces, the WATSMs and their sub-munitions were engaged by PATRIA AMV-Ads, carrying twenty-five millimeter gatling cannons. This last ditch defense would not claim any of the ballistic missiles themselves, but the munitions they deployed, trying to knock down WATSMs and the GB4s they deployed. In the end, about ninety or so of the ballistic missiles would be able to fully deploy their complement of munitions on the Swedish frontlines. The BLU-108s would cause some significant casualties on a number of vehicles, thirty or so Leopard 2S9s would be disabled or completely totaled by the strike, mostly against the [i]Smaland[/i] Brigade. Casualties amongst other vehicles would be higher, with fifty or so CV90 IFVs of varying configurations destroyed, while about the same amount of Patria Armored Personnel Carriers were destroyed or disabled. Self-propelled artillery took hits as well, with forty vehicles of varying types disabled or destroyed. Nearly one hundred trucks or tactical vehicles were easily demolished under the onslaught, while ten AMX 10 RC armored cars were written off. Twenty SASAMs and six theatre-based anti-aircraft defense systems were also written off in the attack. Similar situations occurred at the rear echelon areas of the Swedish Expeditionary Force, with anti-aircraft forces engaging ballistic and cruise missiles as they rained down on rear areas of the Swedish forces. With the units spread out as they were, there were very few [i]main[/i] ammunition or fuel dumps that could be struck. One missile would find an ammunition dump near Tashkent’s airport, wiping out a significant amount of small arms ammunition in a fireworks display that would be akin to a major capital’s independence day celebration. A fuel depot south of Lake Balgash would take a hit, sending up in flames a half of the fuel reserves for the III Corps. Four more depots of various size would be hit as far back as Baikonur in the onslaught. As strikes began hitting air fields supporting the Swedish Air Force, military police from the 103rd Sustainment Brigade would begin prowling quietly around the protectorate’s countryside, and begin marking out on the NORDCOMM four-thousand foot lengths of straightaway pavement along major roads in the region. As these areas were marked out, flight personnel would deploy from small outposts near the airfields via helicopter to begin secondary flight operations for fighter aircraft in the region. The Swedes had recognized from past wars, starting by the German [i]Luftwaffe[/i] using the autobahn in the Second World War, as well as defense planning by the United States in the 1950s, that using roads as secondary landing strips was and could still be a possibility under the right conditions. SAC-8 JSTARS aircraft, a duo of which sat at range near the Caspian Sea would take over for the AWACS that were clearly under duress, using targeting information from radars on the ground to direct the ongoing battle, rather than letting the AWACS handle the direction. With their radars turned off they would only be using communication systems, via secure commlinks with other units, and thus were less inconspicuous then the AWACS aircraft. At the airfields themselves, including the two airports servicing Baikonur, and the airfield servicing Aralsk, the Swedish Air Force, especially the auxiliary units suffered losses. Between the two airfields servicing Baikonur, four SAF-9 [i]Wargaz[/i] under maintenance were destroyed on the ground, as well as three SAF-44s and two SAB-22s. Five SAT-400 Heavy Tactical Transports, as well as an AWACS aircraft and three air refueling tankers, one of which was loaded, causing a massive fireball on the tarmac, would go up in flames at Aralsk. A further four tactical transports, five strategic airlifters, two of them SAT-225s, and ten helicopters of various types would be destroyed at the Baikonur airfields. A number of munitions would also be destroyed when one missile struck a munitions depot for the 1st Fighter Group at Baikonur. A number of trucks and service vehicles would have to be written off by the strikes against the Swedish forces at these air fields, the surviving equipment already beginning to be transferred to secondary landing sites. At Tashkent’s Airport, two SMQ-10 [i]Avenger[/i] UCAVs would be destroyed, along with several stocks of missiles and bombs for the UCAVs stored nearby. Further carnage for the air force was suffered with the loss of four out of the five AWACS flying at northwest of Baikonur. One AWACS aircraft was able to survive the onslaught, as it was already transitioning out of the combat zone, and the munitions fired at it fell short, or fell victim to a timely counterattack by massive amounts of chaff and flares launched, as well as direct energy attacks by nearby SAF-1s. A duo of SAC-8 JSTARS aircraft, which sat at range near the Caspian Sea would take over for the AWACS that were clearly under duress, using targeting information from radars on the ground to direct the ongoing battle handle the battle direction. With their radars turned off they would only be using communication systems, via secure commlinks with other units, and thus were less inconspicuous then the AWACS aircraft. All told, the first counter-strike in Central Asia, including the massive amounts of flechettes that rained down on the Swedish forces arrayed along the line and strikes against rear-echelons would cause as many as one thousand casualties, of all types, wounded and dead. The effect of the flechette rounds that had airbursted above Swedish forward positions were somewhat diminished by the use of overhead cover on slit trenches and foxholes. The Swedish artillery had gone silent, but the Swedes had little intent of stopping with the sudden onslaught of a counter-bombardment by the forces of Cochin, no, this was but the beginning. As casualty and damage reports filtered into the Tashkent Headquarters, nearly two hundred nautical miles west, Colonel Felix Drexel ordered his air contingents into action, flying at the head of a tactical column of sixty SAB-1s that punched their afterburners, and formed into six-plane formations. With the AWACS aircraft out of commission, the SAB-1s would rely on their targeting info being transmitted via the ever-faithful NORDCOMM system, the JSTARS aircraft to their rear doling out assignments as they flew closer to the border with Cochin. Defensive reactions by the Cochin CIWS Network had been catalogued by the loitering SAQ-47s and SAQ-10s, using FLIR imaging systems to locate hits as well as monitor defensive reactions. This would been coordinated with data from the radar network, which back-tracked missile launch locations, helping to detect rolling-airframe missiles which had come up to beat down the initial small wave of Swedish standoff munitions. Surface-to-air missile launches against German aircraft that had flown into this zone, had also been catalogued and their locations pegged by the NORDCOMM system, which was working overtime to coordinate the munitions that were about to be released. Further targeting against GG10 ballistic missile launches were gathered by radar systems, trajectories being backtracked by the system to designated possible launch locations that were within three-hundred kilometers of the border. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mB0mQk1FKI&feature=related]Operation Arctic Hammer[/url] As this data was collected, it would be forwarded to each SAB-1 and two squadrons of SAB-22s, giving each aircraft targeting data, as Drexel would lead them into the maelstrom. “Anvil 5-2 Lead, continue your static, let’s get the party started,” ordered Drexel, grimly, over the secure NORDCOMM, directing a flight of six SAB-22s to continue clouding a zone forty-five kilometers northwest of the Cochin-German Protectorate border with massive amounts of chaff. “Anvils Two and Three, form on point.” The SAB-1s would be joined by twenty-four SAB-22 Stealth Tactical Strike Aircraft taking the lead in front of the flights of six SAB-1s, which had formed into a staggered wave of aircraft racing at the border. As the chaff continued to fly out, as twelve more SAB-22s joined the chaff runs in a zone in front of the aircraft, the bomb bays of the strike aircraft would open. Six of the SAB-1s would launch a combined strike of one-hundred and eight of long-range standoff AGM-158s, with forty-five of the missiles aimed at various potential GG10 Ballistic Missile Sites. As the first six SAB-1s led by Drexel launched their long range weapons and then turned tail, they would be followed by fifty-four SAB-1s, which also launched what would amount to the first main strike by the Swedish Air Force. The SAB-1s, loaded for bear with GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs, would launch forty-eight of the small bombs each. The twenty-four SAB-22s would launch fifteen of the GBU-39s, before turning away with the bombers, which only came within eighty-five kilometers of the Cochin border, before hightailing it away. Flying through the chaff, aided by GPS navigation, the GBU-39s, with only a fifty pound warhead, could penetrate through eight feet of reinforced concrete if need be. Like the rest of the munitions that had already been dispensed by the Swedes, the stand-off capabilities of these weapons were particularly useful for these circumstances. The large quantities of GBU-39s, along with the rest of the sixty-three AGM-158s would be aimed at the tiered CIWS and Surface-to-Air Missile network that served the Bishkek region, as well as other suspected military installations that had been identified through FLIR, satellite imagery, and visual observation. The already-damaged Bishkek Forward Air Base would be visited once again, this time by a further four AGM-158s and multiple GBU-39s aimed at the runways, but primarily the outlying buildings and facilities of the base. Multiple GBUs would take aim at vital infrastructure, including regional bridges, the railroad marshaling yard in Bishkek, and other facilities. While the SAB-1s made their run, the SAF-44s would continue to provide interception duties should they be needed, lingering about fifty kilometers back from the border, providing a steady buffer. Behind them, at one hundred and one hundred-fifty kilometers respectively, SAF-9s and SAF-1s continued to loiter and rove in small groups, while they were transmitted locations to land on highways once fuel became low and the airborne tankers were moved out of the region. Losses were also filtering into the Expeditionary Force command from Swedish Home Command, which controlled the Swedish Orbital Observation, Communications, and Intelligence Command (SOOCI). All of the low-orbit imaging satellites had been taken offline by the Cochin strike; however communications and global-positioning satellites had been able to maintain higher orbits, thus able to escape the onslaught. In the Atlantic, the Swedish Naval Forces would go into defensive action as the ballistic missiles were tracked by the allied coalition, utilizing RIM Standard Missiles, the Swedish Task Force coordinated a response against the ballistic missiles which massed against its forces. The RIM Standards would begin the onslaught against the inbound missiles, while rolling-airframe missiles and chaff and flares would serve as the last line of defense. In the end, one amphibious transport dock would be hit and subsequently sink from its damages, as well as one frigate, the destroyer [i]Gustav V[/i] would take a ballistic missile that sheared off its rear sections, and cut power to the entire ship, which was then forced to evacuate. Two carriers sustained hits, the [i]Lutzen[/i] taking two direct hits on its flight deck, and its fate was still undecided as damage control tried to sustain the blazes on board. The amphibious carrier [i]Resolute[/i] would fulfill its nickname, as it was able to survive a missile strike that burst a hole in the forward flight deck and caused damage as many as five decks below. One cruiser, the [i]Scania[/i] would suffer massive blast damage to its stern, wiping out the ships helicopter hanger and it’s occupants when a rolling airframe missile struck a ballistic missile and detonated right above its rear quarters. One of the arsenal ships, which would play a key role in the defense of the convoy, launching waves of RIMs at the ballistic missiles, would pay for its stalwart attitude with a missile that disabled the forward armament of the vessel. All told, Sweden’s naval contingent, along with some of its amphibious forces, would suffer a hefty price, with as many as eight hundred personnel dead or injured in the strikes, as well as two hundred crew members and marines unaccounted for. The crew of the sunk frigate [i]Karlsborg[/i] accounted for an eighth of the confirmed casualties, as a little less than a quarter of the ships one-hundred and fifty man crew were able to escape following a missile that blew the ship in half. Search and rescue helicopters and launches would begin prowling the water. The Swedish Naval Contingent Admiral, Vice Admiral Karl Laatikan, would send a secure transmission to fellow naval coalition commanders; [quote]SWEDISH BATTLEGROUP TO COMMENCE SAR OPERATIONS; RECOMMENDED EXTRA SUPPORT FOR THIS MISSION; SWEDISH SHIPS WILL MAINTAIN STATIONS WHILE COALITION FORCES CONTINUE WITH OBJECTIVES[/quote] While the Swedish forces began their rescue operations, and trying to save damaged vessels from sinking, the guided missile submarines [i]Einherjar[/i] and [i]Sigurd[/i] would launch the counterstrike. Utilizing their long lines of vertical launch tubes, the two submarines would ascend to launch depth, having maneuvered close to within fifteen hundred miles of the Cochin Mobile Offshore Base. The two submarines would launch a simultaneous strike of forty BGM-109 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles, they would then descend once again, and retreat to rejoin formation with the rest of the Swedish Task Force.

freakwars Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) OOC: Artillery bombardment is 200 self-propelled guns and 50 rocket systems. If I overestimated the shells or rockets that I have the ability to fire or the amount of area that it would cover, please stay calm and I will work to remedy the offending estimate, if it is indeed an overestimate. [img]http://i.imgur.com/ATcSW.jpg[/img] Political map of the attacking forces [img]http://i.imgur.com/Lu8Zi.jpg[/img] Map of the terrain in the same area, without attacking forces The 1st and 2nd Artillery Brigades of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment 'Gosree Dragoons moved from their base in Hami, Xinjiang to a position 30 km from the UFE-Cochin border, where they then began the bombardment of the enemy positions using a mixture of 90% M982 Excalibur 155mm explosive rounds and about 10% SMArt anti-tank artillery rounds. Their top rate of fire was somewhat diminished due to the necessity of frequent movement to avoid counter-battery fire. The effect of the artillery fire was significantly increased by their use of MRSI, which allowed several volleys to land on the enemy positions at the same time. Satellite imagery was used to improve the accuracy of the artillery fire on the enemy fortifications and armor forces, which allowed the GPS guided rounds to land as close to on top of the enemy positions as they could make them. The 3rd Artillery Brigade (rocket) moved to a position about 26 km from the KoC-UFE border, and timed its first volley to hit at the same time as the second MRSI from the 1st and 2nd, launching rockets loaded with XM31 644 DPICM sub munitions that could guide themselves to the largest concentrations of UFE troops and release 644 antipersonnel grenades from each rocket. The incredible rate of fire of the MLRS allowed them to lay down 540 rockets during their 30 minute bombardment of the enemy fortification. It was inconceivable to the Cochin soldiers that anything without a layer of steel or concrete between them and the rockets could survive that much destruction. 4000 infantrymen of the Regiment attacked across the border into the shelled territory. They were supported by 250 BDRM light vehicles, 100 BTR90s, 150 BMP3s, and 60 T-150 tanks. This detachment was named Singhforce and placed under the command of Brigadier General Raj-Singh. The remaining units of the Regiment remained close behind, ready to reinforce Singhforce in the event that the the enemy was in better shape than anticipated.

Imperator Azenquor Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 [b]OOC:[/b] Warning, very long post below. [b]IC:[/b] In addition to being publicly announced, the full text of the following declaration would also be forwarded to the Embassy of the Kingdom of Cochin to the Serene Republic of Vaule and directly to the government of the Kingdom of Cochin via the Vaulian Embassy: [quote][b][u]Official Declaration from the Serene Republic of Vaule[/b][/u] The government of the Serene Republic of Vaule: RECOGNIZING the cancellation and official termination of the Vauleyo-Cochin Mutual Defense Pact, ACKNOWLEDGING the activation of the Vauleyo-UFE Mutual Defense and Aggression Pact and obligations to our allies in the UFE REITERATING our condemnation of the actions of the Kingdom of Cochin which have led to the current crisis UNDERSTANDING the response of the government of Rebel Army DECLARES that a state of war exists between the Serene Republic and the Kingdom of Cochin AND STATES that no further diplomatic correspondence shall take place while this declaration is in effect. Signed, B. Svatek – Prime Minister Pyotr – R.I. [/quote] The diplomat who delivered the message to the Cochin Embassy would also deliver a government directive expelling the Cochin Ambassador and his staff and ordering the closure of the Embassy. As soon as it was confirmed that the message was delivered, the staff at the Vaulian Embassy to the Kingdom of Cochin destroyed all sensitive documents at the embassy and left the Kingdom. === [b]***Military Movements (General)***[/b] With a larger than normal military force deployed in the south of the country, it would not take too long to deploy additional forces to the border. The government took the controversial decision to deploy the bulk of the reserve army to the newly created front. First, before any military action began, orders were issued placing the nation at DEFCON 1, the nuclear forces at DEFCON 1.5, and triggering a Civil Defense Alert for the capital city and Zhukovgrad. As government officials and thousands of citizens of the capital cities moved into bunkers, the military High Command would reactivate the southern portion of the National Defense Infrastructure. Where RADAR systems were damaged in the uprising, mobile RADAR systems were ordered into position to ensure additional coverage. 8 additional S-300 units would be moved to the outskirts of the city of Novosibirsk to provide additional AA coverage. [b]***Military Movements (Cochin-Vaule border)***[/b] -Air- 30 BS-021Z UAVs were launched from the border region and flew towards Cochin territory. 10 of the UAVs would fly over the Altay mountain range (heading towards the city of Altay, Xinjiang), 10 would plot a course that would take them east of Bolshaya (Kazakhstan) then towards Zaysan (Kazakhstan) and 5 UAVs would plot a more westerly flight path heading towards Ridder (Kazakhstan) then on towards Pervomayskiy. The remaining 5 UAVs would depart from Gornyak (Vaule) and would plot a course towards Semey (Kazakhstan). The UAVs had a simple primary objective: they were ordered to conduct initial reconnaissance sweeps aimed at locating enemy troop positions as well as RADAR and AA battery emplacements along their flight paths After the initial UAV sweeps began, the second phase would begin. 3 squadrons of Bu-24Z (Su-24MR) recon aircraft would be launched from air bases near Novosibirsk. Each aircraft would carry 2 air-to-air Archer (R-73) missiles in addition to a suite of Krypton (Kh-31) ARM air-to-surface missiles. The aircraft had a single objective: to locate, identify and attack enemy RADAR positions in the northern regions. 1 of the squadrons would fly towards Xinjiang province, initially at an altitude of 25,000 ft. The other 2 squadrons would fly towards the Kazakh region of the Kingdom (one would fly towards Sherbakty and Pavlodar while the other would head on a flight path just west of Mikhaylova heading south). Expecting significant enemy resistance, each squadron was ordered to fire on the first enemy RADAR which they detected and to expect to be engaged by enemy fighter aircraft and AA. -Ground- The Vaulian ground deployments were divided into two main Operational Zones: Zone 1 (Kazakh region) and Zone 2 (Xinjiang Region) and further divided into individual task forces.
