Justinian the Mighty Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 An ordinary day was fast turning into a tense one. The day had started as they all had since the men arrived in eastern Kazakhstan. They awoke early, ate, then reported to their posts for the day. Tu-160 and MiG- 39 pilots at a makeshift airfield were on constant alert knowing they could be sent on bombing runs in the Kingdom of Cochin at a moment’s notice. The lengthy mobilization of men and equipment from Slavorussia’s interior to the Kingdom of Cochin’s border had swelled the Slavorussian presence to a respectable size. Then it happened. For the Slavorussians in the German protectorate the sound of German aircraft soaring through the sky harkened the beginning of the war. MiG-39 stealth strike fighters and a few Tu-160 bombers lifted into the air to support the German Luftwaffe. 120 total aircraft armed with High-speed Anti-Radiation Missiles soar toward the Pavlodar, East Kazakhstan and Almaty regions of the Kingdom of Cochin. Their primary goal is to support the Luftwaffe and help to ensure that Cochin’s air defense network is fatally crippled. After the succeeded in their primary goal they were authorized to turn their focus to Cochin's hostile fire weapons, communication nodes, command posts and airfields. Simultaneously on the ground Iskander missiles set their sights on many of the same targets in order to add a level of redundancy in guaranteeing the destruction of the Kingdom’s air defense capabilities. If the Iskanders were successful the air force would have more time to focus on its secondary targets further weakening the Kingdom’s response abilities. The rest of the ground forces would wait patiently for their turn. A ground invasion would be held off momentarily while the coalition softened the Kingdom’s border regions. They knew that bombardment of Cochin’s defensive structures could take days or possibly weeks to adequately soften the enemy’s defensive abilities, but it would be worth it in the end.

KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Birakan Artillery Grounds: "Prepare to fire! Shell and charge secure! Seven-three-one half correction! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! You're killing me here! Roger-Roger! Firing!" The massive barrel of the M107 artillery lurched back as a 175mm charge was fired into a nearby valley, landing near a truck with a UFE flag on it. "!@#$," the crew commander moaned. One of the captains on the base grabbed the gun commander by the collar and started dragging him down the field. "What's the matter," he yelled, "find out that Wang was nailing your girlfriend? Chang wouldn't give you the three rubles he owed you? Well the fact of the matter is that a dozen of our allies are dead, while Raj and Taj over there continue to hose down our allies!" The target, a machine gun nest with a Cochin flag and two target dummies, lay 100 yards away, and was completely unscathed. "You better get good at this gun," he yelled, "real good real quick!" "You mean..." "That's right, orders came in. We're moving South today." The route was clear, the guns, along with a myriad of support vehicles, would make their way South to Pyotrgrad, cross over the suspension bridge that linked either sides of the Amur River, and make their way down to the Cochin-UFE borders, where the 50 guns will be divided into 10 support groups and spread out for maximum effectiveness. Unfortunately, the trip will take several days, seeing as the guns would need to move under their own power. No train cars in the nation were large enough to transport the artillery, and even if they could, the only lines that head into China went to Tianjin. In the early morning hours of Friday, the convoy approached Pyotrgrad. With the support vehicles in front, the convoy began crossing the bridge into the UFE. The vast majority of the convoy made it over the bridge without incident. However, when the last two vehicles were crossing the bridge, a small team of men ran under the bridge and started sprinting across the ice. It was the team of Tenzov, who was a dedicated saboteur, following the orders of Bridgette to hurt the UFE in any way possible, and following his own extreme hatred of Marscurian Siberia. When the first vehicle was under the tower on the UFE side, and the other one was on the central span, the team detonated a massive set of explosives under the UFE tower. Starting to list and buckle, the tower soon came down on the first gun, crushing it and killing the crew. As the tower came down, the span of the bridge soon came down, crashing through the ice that covered the river. With the freezing water and the mess of cables and fragile ice preventing a rescue, the cries of the second crew grew silent in minutes. The saboteurs weren't any luckier, however. Running as fast as they could, the cracks in the ice simply rushed past the dozen or so men. Soon, the floating blocks of ice became unstable, flipping over and trapping most of the terrorists, Tenzov among them, under large blocks of ice. Struggling as hard as they could, the men soon had to take a breath, but found only water, and a slow death waiting for them. Only one man made it back to land, and soon blended back into the Pyotrgrad cityscape. After a moment of silence and a series of salutes, the Amur Police were called in for a salvage effort while the rest of the convoy moved South. Message to Cochin City: It is with a sense of sadness that we must suspend the MDP that exists between the Kingdom of Cochin and Marscurian Siberia. We only call this a suspension, because once this horrible war is over, we wish to return to full relations with our old friends. Rest assured that we will continue to press for peace amongst the coalition and your nation that is fair and just to all sides. May God protect the people of Cochin, and may this war come to a swift end. -Mikhail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triyun Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) [quote name='king of cochin' timestamp='1322516913' post='2855082'] 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 with additional power receiving capability from the Tesla SPS, these would swiftly compensate for the loss of the satellites until replaced by more satellites by CSRO. 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. [/quote] OOC: I'll respond to the last part when you let me know what the terminal guidance systems are on those missiles and post some naval counters too. Please respond to my PM before responding IC. IC: UFE space command rapidly would detect the deployment of the helium balloons. Using their radar energy emitted radar energy, RIM-161 D anti ballistic missiles would launch from concealed launch positions across the UFE border region. In total six of these weapons would travel into the upper heights of the atmosphere against each platform. Reaching terminal kill speeds of up to 9600 kilometers per hour, so as to rapidly reduce if not eliminate the thread. The B-11s electromagnetic absorbing skins allowed it to detect the active homing radar signatures of the incoming missiles. Additionally many of the units electro-optical scopes were able to notice bright emissions of laser energy sending targeting information towards, them. This allowed them to institute multiple countermeasures. Chiefly this was to engage the missile launchers and the missiles, but it also revealed some of the positions of the enemy AESA radars, which were used for initial tracking and terminal guidance. The first countermeasures were the activation of DRFM jamming pods. This had the effect of reducing the efficacy of radar tracking onto the B-11s. They were then free to engage the enemy missiles and ground launch stations with their powerful AESA radar transmitters. Larger than the arrays on that on fighter aircraft the AESA arrays were able to concentrate large numbers of individual transmitters onto missiles frying them as they approached. This would be complimented by microwave and pulse laser based dial an effect anti-missile systems. Additionally the AESA radars were used to send concentrated amounts of tailored data streams containing vicious attacks onto the Cochinese own detected AESA radars. This would not only serve to dilute the returning radar waves of the cochin transmissions, but partially jam these radars reducing the overall coordinated effectiveness of the Cochinese war machine. As missiles past over the UFEs own integrated air defense systems, the Cochinese forces would see the degradation of even more missiles, mostly from small tactical SAM units spread out. As a result of the 36 B-11s targeted, 4 were lost to enemy SAMs. But this was not before they could open up their internal weapons bays and launch a counter attack. The radar sites exposed, as well as SAM launch sites and data transmission points came under attack by the B-11s yet unexposed internal stores of ER-M-51 cruise missiles. Complimenting this attack was the deployment of disposable jamming drones which would make it difficult to engage. 72 jamming units along with 298 ER-M-51 missiles would stream across using their infrared guidances to deal in enemy targets. Data uplinks gave primary priority to enemy radar sites, with targets as they were knocked out circling then to next highest priority, enemy SAM sites, and lastly laser transmission sites. The jamming systems would serve to confuse enemy radar operators, giving false locations of targets along with real ones to lessen the efficacy of the enemy’s anti-missile defense. Simultaneously with this, the units would be transmitting back to the UFE ‘cloud’ locations of air defense sites as they went online so that this could be added to the overall picture of the Cochinese defense. Units closer to the border would be engaged by ground based guided ETC artillery systems, which remained constantly on the move, while other units deeper into Cochinese territory would be sent to the air force for priority destruction. The F-5 fighters were able to detect the thermal blooms from the ballistic missiles (I’m assuming these are the same GG-10s?). The F-5s though were not in the mood to play with gliders. With the enemy picture somewhat reduced by the rapid RIM attack on the balloons, the F-5s were able to use their super cruise to break off engagements with the drones. Instead they headed back towards the border when they picked up something else. IR scopes and passive radar sensors detected both the heat signatures and radar signatures of the Jd. Mk 4s. The F-5s were quick to gain altitude as the enemy units came in while maintaining super cruise. Rather than engage the Jd, Mk 4s in a dog fight, something which the F-5 could not use its key advantaged systems for, the units instead used their electro-optical synthetic aperture system and passive sensors to engage the enemies. The onboard air to air ordinances of the F-5s was a combination of IR homing and passive anti-raditional missiles designed with engaging AESA equipped units in mind. The first step to this engagement was the activation of the onboard radar systems. This allowed the F-5s, which were already heading for home to be able to engage in active lock breaking and jamming, as well as increase their situational awareness and communicate vast amounts of data between each other. Rather than engaging enmasse, the UFE units would engage the forward units of the Jd Mk 4s with a combination attack. Concentrated in the body of the F-5s, their powerful radars would hit the Jd Mk 4s, own radar to jam it and conduct a cyberattack. While that was going on, the UFE, anti-raditional missiles would fire off homing in on the Jd Mk 4s, while simultaneously, the electro-optical guided IR missiles would engage the same target. Because the missiles were being guided by an electro-optical sensor on the F-5 rather than by the onboard guidance, as the F-5s powerful scopes could be significantly more effective in countering the Jd. Mk 4s onboard anti-IR countermeasures. At the same time, the F-5s were now able to send their data collected from their approaches back to the UFE integrated command for the attack, as well as use their synthetic aperture radars to capture more and more of the ground positions below which would be forwarded to coalition command. (OOC: Because I’m not breaking into a dog fight engagement, I’m assuming you’ll use different tactics than trying to dogfight me, so I’ll wait for your next move before RPing out the damage) As they neared the border the UFEs own air defenses came online. S-500 SAMs fired at about 100 clicks from the border, towards the incoming Jd. Mk 4s. At the same time, forty eight F-1s, forty eight F-2s, and twenty four F-5 supers would join the engagement. The F-5 supers would use their powerful radars to launch a integrated cyber and electronic attack on the Jd. Mk 4 fighters, with the goal of also pumping so much integrated electromagnetic energy so as to degrade their onboard data links at both the IR/visual spectrum and microwave spectrum. They would also engage the targets with the UFE NGTAM missile, these missiles would use OTH guidance for moving into the general area of the enemy fighter plane before turning on an advanced visual guidance systems which could close in on the target at extremely high speed. Additionally their inbuilt photonics, and heat resistant shielding made them much more effective against DEW and jamming defenses. F-2s meanwhile would also use their onboard jamming systems to engage enemy ground radars, and sensors. Sniffers in the skins of all the aircraft would be on the look out for enemy signals emanating from the surface to map them out. These would be then sent to A-47 attack drones to engage from about 60 clicks with bunker busting bombs. As S-RECO UAVs patrolled they would be engaged by a variety of missiles ranging from larger mobile SAM systems to MANPADs, and would utilize a variety of air to air missiles to defeat any countermeasures these units would have. Anti-raditional weapons would be among the systems as the enemy used its radar waves to engage the enemy. Meanwhile overhead ground penetrating radar would be used to locate the dug in positions. Guided ETC artillery shells hardened for bunker busting effect followed by thermal vacuum sucking shells would be used to clear these positions. The UFE itself was quite well dug in as well of course. And as the MLRS systems launched, much of the ground forces would be protected. However, there were some casualties. Many of the rockets were intercepted by the UFEs defensive systems, ranging from DEW, to ETC CIWS, to point defense missiles. However, about 30% got through. This did open up the MLRS positions to near instant retaliation fire. UFE rockets, guided mortars, drone attacks, and artillery would rapidly target aiming to knock out the MLRS launchers at they fired across the border before moving around themselves. Transmissions were also given to allied units deploying to reinforce the UFE of the enemy positions so that they could be knocked out with greater effect. 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. At the border, the UFE would engage the Cochinese aircraft as they loitered on their side. (OOC: I’ve been told by Cochin he didn’t intend to cross the border to engage these aircraft). Dedicated EWAC drones would concentrate on cyber and electronically attacking Jd, Mk 4 onboard radar from a distance, while F-1 and F-2 fighters would engage groups as they wondered too close in BVR combat using combinations of anti-radiational, semi-active homing radar, infrared, and visual ID missiles. This combination concentrated on masses of units rather than broad salvos was done so as to minimize the number of countermeasures that could be done effectively. At the same time the UFE Tu-160 Rudolph was performing the role only that very special squadron could do. Using its large body integrated radar it was able to track the Jd Mk 4s from a decent distance, while super cruising out of weapons range. Jamming the enemies radars, the twelve aircrafts used their high powered nose cone lasers to both engage in electromagnetically attacking the Jd Mk 4s and helping to clear the area of enemy missiles as they came in. The F-3s meanwhile darted across the border using their speed and some stealth as well as onboard jamming pods to reach weapons range. They would support the B-10 strike. Rather than engage the Jd. Mk 4 fighters, the high speed interceptors would engage in strikes using anti-raditional missiles to knock out enemy AWACs and ground based radar systems that were attempting to track the fast moving B-10s. The B-10s for their part, were not designed to operate in only uncontested air space. In fact they had always been planning to move through hostile air space. The Mach 6 speeds of the bombers and their ultra high altitudes made it extraordinarily difficult for the Jd Mk 4 to intercept. Further adding to this was the radar absorbant materials built into the aircraft’s structure, its low reflective coatings, and its triangular shaped. All meant that engaging at anything less than a reduced distance was near impossible. On top of this its onboard DRFM jamming further made the task of intercept more difficult. This meant that while the Jd Mk 4 had a decent chance of getting an IR shot, the IR shot by its nature was from a shorter distance than a radar guided one (Which the planes charateristics would also reduce the range of). Traveling at Mach 6 with 400 kilo range cruise missiles, the B-10s could get in there and fire a missile largely prior to a Jd Mk 4 to be in intercept range. At the same time the SD 5s while fast, would be contending with the intense jamming going on as well as the deployment of decoy drones along the way to throw off intercept. Consequently all but 4 of the B-10s were able to fire off their ordinance. With the Jd Mk 4s, unable to really get an intercept for the all of 300 kilometers, between the UFE border and Urumqi. In truth the B-10s did not actually have to cross the border, but served valuably as a highly surviveable platform that could force the Jd. Mk 4s into a wild goose chase, reducing the number that could sortie the UFE at the border. The was further confirmed as a second group of UFE tactical aircraft began its engagement around the Tibet-Sichuan/Yunnan border. A group of Skyhawk EWACs sniffed out enemy radar signals on an approach, as they turned on a group of 24 F-3s would zoom in and attack using ER-M-51s against both any hostile SAMs and radar stations. A combination of 60 F-1s and 24 F-5 Quantums and Super Quantums would move in to engage enemy fighters, at super sonic, while 60 F-2s would use their synthetic aperture radars and electro-optical systems to concentrate on enemy air defenses in the area, with special priority given to radar targets. Further back 18 B-11s would engage targets mapped by the F-2s using NGTAMs in air to ground configuration with bunker busting kinetic warheads followed by HDRM warheads against hardened targets from approximately 180 kilometers within the UFE. On top of all this the UFE unleashed a second salvo of about 400 SRBMs in bunker busting configurations, once again their targets would be radar stations and air bases primarily, aiming to continue to degrade the situational awareness and fixed wing aircraft servicing capacity of Xinjiang. They units would deploy decoys and chaff as they closed in on their targets. At the same time though, the UFE would also launch a ground force of 150 camouflaged club K containers, each containing 4 hypersonic cruise missiles. Deploying these from freight trucks across Mongolia, Sichuan, and Gansu, simultaneous to the air and BM attacks, the effect would be to challenge the enemy on multiple levels. Some of these weapons were anti-raditional seeking to further degrade the enemy’s air radar, but they would have other effects. First with so many targets in the air the divided Cochinese forces would find themselves tracking far far more targets with reduced equipment all at once. This meant that the efficacy of intercepts would be reduced. These missiles would also have the range to go deep inside the northern territory concentrating on air bases which the enemy’s awacs and Jd Mk 4s could operate in reducing the ability to scramble and service forces in the northern theatre of operations. [quote name='freakwars' timestamp='1322606394' post='2856128'] 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. [/quote] As soon as the bombardment began, UFE radar and overhead electro optical scopes would pick up the locations of the artillery bombardment. Especially with the concentration of enemy fire, the IR emissions would become even greater apparent to the multiple aircraft moving overhead. This combat information was swiftly relayed to units across the battlefield. The first engagement would be done with ETC 155 mm artillery. The ETC would generate superior speed per artilery shell, further enhancing the accuracy of satellite guidance. These units would put down fire on the bombarding target. At the same time, A-47 attack drones would engage the enemies MLRS systems as they fired. This would be supported by deployments across units in the field of the Non-Line of Site Launch System Mk II. These systems enabled all units to launch their own long range attacks. As MLRS units setup positions, these missiles would fly at low altitude where forward looking radar would have trouble detecting them and downward looking ones would reflect off the earth's surface thus increasing difficulty of detection. The missiles would then slam into the MLRS systems as they opened up fire on UFE forces. The NLOS-LS would be supported as well by several rear deployments. The first would be the positioning of the rail guns the UFE had at the rear of its forces. These large weapons kept on portable trucks would fire devastating rounds into the MLRS and SPART postions. A total of about 18, they would rapidly lay down fire after hooking up to portable power positions, before disembarking to new locations. Each of these had the effect of a full battleship volley on the enemies position. At the same time, the UFE outranged the enemy with the use of tactical ballistic missiles, equipped with multiple anti-vehicle flechettes in each warhead. As the enemy force attempted to concentrate its fire for 30 minutes of bombardment, from 200 kilometers, over 400 small tactical ballistic missiles would be used to degrade the enemies launchers. At the same time though, the UFE was employing active defensive measures. NLOS-AA Hydra's would use their ETC cannons and HDRM munitions to rapidly degrade incoming rocket based attacks across the area. Microwave emitting weapons across the field of battle would be used to jam and fry the circuitry of the satellite guided artillery shells, throwing off their guidance and reducing accuracy. While at the same time solid state lasers would be used to engage and degrade the artillery bombardment further intercepting many of the shells as they came in. Armored units did not simply sit in the open. Both sides of the border were extremely well defended and fortified. Armor that was stationary were in bunkers reinforced equal to the Cochinese own, and with the UFE relentless attack on the artillery positions, the ability to defeat the bunkers armor was rapidly being degraded. There was some effect more noticeable effect on the moving UFE armor, but again it was moving rather than stationary. This meant satellite based attacks, which really couldn't provide up to date pictures on individual ground units were somewhat lessened in effectiveness, further the stury armor and active defenses, and onboard jamming pods, meant without a direct hit, general bombardment was lessened. As enemy forces advanced, a surprise would be left for them. The UFE would allow them to advance with light contestation, remotely deactivating parts of the minefield making it seem much less intense than it was, just enough to make it look as though it was trying. Before as the enemy force was sufficiently crossed in the border, the UFE detonated fifteen HPM landmines. The high powered microwave devices with proven capability against EMP hardened targets (see CRS report 2009) would go off in the middle of the armored columns, doing all sort of mean nasty damage to target scopes, transmissions, radios, and other equipment would be a nasty as hell surprise. After their detonation, UFE artillery was concentrated on these positions along with UFE MLRS, NLOS-LS-II, and NLOS mortars. Pretty much the entire numerically superior force within 100 clicks of the position was bearing down onto the EMP hit targets. The mines, having been protected from lack of above ground wiring now activated remotely. Large areas of explosive detonated enmasse beneath the advance of troops. At about twenty clicks the UFE Fury Tanks would also soon begin their attack on the units. Using their 152 mm ETC cannons, they and sinking in with other radar systems, they would be able to provide pin point accuracy on their attacks towards the beleaguered forces. This was rapidly joined by various other armored vehicles, all maintaining movement while firing from beyond visual range. Many of these smaller vehicles would carry several battlefield size tactical missiles which would be equipped with white phosphorous. These units be fired enmasse on troop positions, swiftly followed by the use of an incindiery warhead. The results of the attack were intended to be immediate and obvious. Single units charging across the border was a bad idea. Edited December 4, 2011 by Triyun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, the UFE outranged the enemy with the use of tactical ballistic missiles, equipped with multiple anti-vehicle flechettes in each warhead. As the enemy force attempted to concentrate its fire for 30 minutes of bombardment, from 200 kilometers, over 400 small tactical ballistic missiles would be used to degrade the enemies launchers. At the same time though, the UFE was employing active defensive measures. NLOS-AA Hydra's would use their ETC cannons and HDRM munitions to rapidly degrade incoming rocket based attacks across the area. Microwave emitting weapons across the field of battle would be used to jam and fry the circuitry of the satellite guided artillery shells, throwing off their guidance and reducing accuracy. While at the same time solid state lasers would be used to engage and degrade the artillery bombardment further intercepting many of the shells as they came in. Armored units did not simply sit in the open. Both sides of the border were extremely well defended and fortified. Armor that was stationary were in bunkers reinforced equal to the Cochinese own, and with the UFE relentless attack on the artillery positions, the ability to defeat the bunkers armor was rapidly being degraded. There was some effect more noticeable effect on the moving UFE armor, but again it was moving rather than stationary. This meant satellite based attacks, which really couldn't provide up to date pictures on individual ground units were somewhat lessened in effectiveness, further the stury armor and active defenses, and onboard jamming pods, meant without a direct hit, general bombardment was lessened. As enemy forces advanced, a surprise would be left for them. The UFE would allow them to advance with light contestation, remotely deactivating parts of the minefield making it seem much less intense than it was, just enough to make it look as though it was trying. Before as the enemy force was sufficiently crossed in the border, the UFE detonated fifteen HPM landmines. The high powered microwave devices with proven capability against EMP hardened targets (see CRS report 2009) would go off in the middle of the armored columns, doing all sort of mean nasty damage to target scopes, transmissions, radios, and other equipment would be a nasty as hell surprise. After their detonation, UFE artillery was concentrated on these positions along with UFE MLRS, NLOS-LS-II, and NLOS mortars. Pretty much the entire numerically superior force within 100 clicks of the position was bearing down onto the EMP hit targets. The mines, having been protected from lack of above ground wiring now activated remotely. Large areas of explosive detonated enmasse beneath the advance of troops. At about twenty clicks the UFE Fury Tanks would also soon begin their attack on the units. Using their 152 mm ETC cannons, they and sinking in with other radar systems, they would be able to provide pin point accuracy on their attacks towards the beleaguered forces. This was rapidly joined by various other armored vehicles, all maintaining movement while firing from beyond visual range. Many of these smaller vehicles would carry several battlefield size tactical missiles which would be equipped with white phosphorous. These units be fired enmasse on troop positions, swiftly followed by the use of an incindiery warhead. The results of the attack were intended to be immediate and obvious. Single units charging across the border was a bad idea. [/quote] The counter-battery fire devastated the positions taken by the Self-Propelled Guns, but their constant movement and their own detection of the enemy positions and missile launches allowed 150 of the vehicles to survive the indirect fire from the enemy batteries while returning fire themselves. The missiles were largely stopped by the five-layer defense system employed by the Kingdom. Another 16 of the artillery guns were lost to missile fire. The necessity of counter-battery fire significantly retarded their attempts to reduce the enemy positions, but the extreme precision of the guided rounds made the fire extremely devastating. The fire from the railguns was devastatingly effective against the artillery batteries, destroying another 26 of the guns. The missile attack on the MLRS was less effective because of the higher mobility of the vehicles. They could fire and be away before the missile even cleared the hill. 12 of the launchers were lost to the counter-fire. Any hostile armor that was out in the open would be heavily savaged by the few SMArt 155 shells that made it through the enemy countermeasures. The IR and radar detectors built into the submunitions allowed them to locate the enemy tanks and fire their explosive penetrators into the relatively weak armor on the top of the tank. The combination of multiple sources of sensor data allowed the submunitions to largely bypass the jamming from the UFE tanks, but a small number of them were unable to stay on target because of the effectiveness of the UFE jamming techniques. Very few of the Excalibur shells made it through the UFE defenses, and those that did had very little effect. OOC: I hope you don’t mind me saying the Excalibur shells had very little effect. The HPM landmines had little effect on the comparatively primitive BMP-3s, BTR90s and BDRMs, but the highly advanced T-150 tanks with Singhforce were heavily affected by the landmines, as were many of the infantry small arms. Luckily, the anti-tank missile launchers and their missiles were not turned on, so the HPM mines did not affect them, and so were still usable. Brigadier General Rohit Raj-Singh was supervising the advance of most of the Second Regiment from a modified BMP-3C Command Vehicle when the lights flickered and died, and the transmissions from the radio abruptly ceased. He was confused for a moment, then understanding dawned. “ Everybody OUT! Move, Move, Move!” The general and his command staff tumbled out of the vehicle as an artillery round scored a direct hit on the top of one of the suddenly blind and defenseless T-150 tanks ahead of them. The damage was not nearly as spectacular as Hollywood would suggest. The round hit in the engine compartment, crippling the tank. The crew bailed out as more rounds landed in among the column. Raj-Singh pulled out his personal radio and tried to contact his commander, Major General Mehta. The radio didn’t even pick up static. He threw it away in disgust. He turned to one of his aides. “Take the command vehicle and get a message to Major General Mehta that the front of the attack has been stalled by some kind of unusually strong EMP. Tell him we are likely to need the reserve force soon.” The young lieutenant nodded and scrambled back into the BMP-3C. The machine turned and blasted back towards the rear at full speed. Suddenly, the world seemed to shake and all the sound of warfare was silenced, then it stabilized in what seemed to be a sideways orientation. Then it started to shudder again. With a start, Rohit realized that an artillery shell had landed nearby and knocked him to the ground. Two of his aides were dead, and a third had a shard through his leg. The third was the one shaking him and appeared to be calling his name, although the general could not hear him. He got back up and started dragging the injured lieutenant towards a nearby hollow that he hoped could shield them from the worst of the shrapnel. The other two surviving aides hurried to help drag their injured fellow and the General into whatever cover was available. When they made it to the small hollow, Raj-Singh turned to one of the relatively uninjured aides and shouted at him through the ringing in his ears, “Tell Colonel Rupesh of the First Brigade to pull the T-150s back and get in contact with the Third and Fourth Brigades to get the IFVs and APCs to scatter to present less of a target for the UFE artillery. Then get Colonel Gupta to deploy Javelin teams as dismounts from the APCs to counter any armor forces. You have my permission to commandeer some additional men in order to contact all the commanders.” Raj-Singh was starting to get his hearing back as he turned to his last aide and told him, “Commandeer us an AXE so that we can get away from this artillery bombardment and get Lieutenant Chahan to the field hospital.” Major General Viresh Mehta watched in shock as the badly battle-damaged BMP-3C that he recognized as belonging to Brigadier General Raj-Singh drew up in front of the HQ building in Hami, Xinjiang. A bloody young Lieutenant he recognized as being one of Rohits aides climbed out of the hatch on the command and saw the General. He hastily salunted and nervously shouted, “General Mehta, sir, Singhforce needs reinforcement!” “Calm down, son. Tell me what happened.” General Mehta said reassuringly. “The Pinkos hit us with some kind of EMP, which knocked out critical systems on the T-150s! The IFVs and APCs were mostly ok, but all the communication is out. General Raj-Singh has been using runners in AXEs and IFVs to relay his orders across Singhforce. He respectfully requests that reinforcements be sent to the North of the enemy line in order to smash through the enemy and get in behind them. He also requests additional Javelin teams to reinforce the main force to brunt any armored offensives and advises you to get the mechanics ready to refit the retreating T-150 forces.” General Mehta nodded thoughtfully and stroked his beard. “No, inform Rohit that he is to retreat to Sitian and an extra 500 men in Javelin teams are on their way to bolster his rear guard. I want him to pull the T-150s out first, then the BMPs, then the BDRMs, with the BTRs bringing up the rear. Split 3000 infantry among the APCs, with any leftovers to go in the AXEs and trucks. I will also send some working radios with you so we can reestablish communications with the whole force for an orderly withdrawal. Whatever artillery we can spare will launch another bombardment fairly close to cover the retreat.” The General Mehta turned to one the aides hovering over and his shoulder, and ordered,"Find Colonel Banerjee and tell him to take 2000 men to reinforce the Border Guards in Xinxingxia." 50 of the SPGs launched a volley from their new positions 30 miles north of their original positions. They fired primarily SMArt 155 anti-tank guided rounds and Excalibur guided rounds for close-in fire on the enemy, then shifted position rapidly again. The Regiment had lost 79 BDRM LRVs, 23 BMP-3 IFVs, 43 BTR90 APCs, 318 infantrymen and 12 T-150 tanks.

Lavo Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 [quote name='king of cochin' timestamp='1322493269' post='2854840'] 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 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[/quote] The counterattack from the AADN was expected and accounted for; the moment that the XL12 and XL117 radars became active, and were picked up by the Vipers' AESA radars, they would immediately cease ECM operations and would pull back and commence evasive maneuvers. The fact that the Aspers had fired their munitions from 70 km away would only help the Rebel pilots, giving them more time to react. While the low radar profile, high maneuverability, and counter measures of the Vipers would ensure no loss from the missile barrage, one Vipers would take a nice hit from a missile whose proxy fuze went off at it's maximum distance, which would require a good deal of repairs. [quote]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.[/quote] When the high miss count of the missiles would be a disappointment for Rebel high command, it was not a surprise, the preparations of Cochin for an invasion of their territory were legendary among a few of brass, and were respected and feared. When the radars came online, their location would be noted if the Rebels could triangulate their position fast enough, and would be fed to artillery commanders to be taken out. The Vipers whom were escorting the Orcas would also attempt to take advantage of this, and would fire two anti-radiation missiles per target whenever they got the chance, until they ran out of anti-rad missiles that is. [quote]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.[/quote] While the Rebel armored corps would have some defense against this sort of attack, such as the modern Iron Fist active protection system, at least two dozen tanks would either be mobility killed or flat out destroyed by the anti-armor onslaught of the Cochin defenses. [quote]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.[/quote] While the Rebels kept pushing onwards, determined to meet their objectives, seven thousand soldiers would fall from the automated defenses of the Border Guards. Tens of thousands more would be injured, ranging from slight scratches to missing limbs. Massive casualties were bound to happen, and at least a hundred thousand letters were ready to be sent to soon-to-be grieving families; only thing missing was the name of the deceased. [quote]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.[/quote] Unfortunately for the Cochin SOP battalions, the Rebels' artillery units would not be static; they would fire one salvo and then move on. In the minds of high command, stationary units were just another word for scrap metal when on the offensive. A half a dozen artillery units would be destroyed by the wave GG10 SRBMs however, mobility did not mean invulnerability. The Cochinese's artillery units would likewise find their trajectories tracked by the Rebels in a similar fashion, however it would primarily be long ranged Aurora stealth bombers and Orcas whom would return fire on the Cochin artillery units, with the Rebel artillery providing limited support, their focus being on supporting ground units and on attempting to take out Cochin radar stations when they were given their coordinates. [quote]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.[/quote] Thankfully, the Orca assault would not cross the Protectorate-Cochin border, the stand-off range of their missiles would allow them to bombard Cochin targets from a large range and minimize risk. After offloading their munitions as quickly and accurately as possible, they would head back to base to refuel and rearm. The loitering of the GG10s would prove to be their own demise; their passing into Protectorate airspace would allow for the Rebel's defense network, in the form of a few radar outposts and mobile SPYDER systems, to attack the missiles before they could unleash their payload. The Vipers escorting the Orcas, whom are able track, and to a limited extent engage, missiles such as these would be of great aid in attempting to take down these missiles. Odds are, between the ground and air combat systems, that the WAASMs would not be able to offload their payload at any of the RAF craft in the region. Noting the lack of RCAF fighters, which indeed surprised RAF command, air superiority flights would be decreased. However, this would be a double-edged sword for the Cochin forces, as it would result in more escorted Orca flights, which would allow for more firepower in the air. [quote]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. [/quote] Unfortunately for the Cochin forces, the Rebels had set up an actual command and communications network in the Protectorate. Sure; it wasn't nearly as advanced or entrenched as a real, full blown, home-based network, but it was spread out and prepared. Working off of lessons learned back in the Balkan War, communication was deemed a priority among a small amount of dispersed soldiers. These soldiers act as basic policemen/border guards, and as spotters to monitor, or at least see, advancing forces. As such, it wasn't uncommon for different field centers to use different forms of encryption, among other things, and due to their dispersed numbers would ensure that that Rebel communications would not simply collapse from this barrage. While the Cochin forces would in fact have difficulty deciphering Rebel communications and tracking them, plus getting past Rebel anti-ballistic missile defenses, two small communication centers would be wiped off of the face of the Earth, with little left to show that they even existed. [quote]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.[/quote] Due to the success of the ASBMs fielded by the allies of Rebel Army, and later on Rebel Army itself, the RN was well aware of the threat these and other missiles posed to naval forces, never mind that missiles and torpedos were the reason for the rise and prominence of carrier air power. Over the years, RN vessels had been outfitted with multiple defenses, ranging from high-powered lasers to CIWS networks. Though, even with all these countermeasures, three littoral combat ships would be sunken by the Cochin wave of destruction. [quote]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. [/quote] Ever since the fatal war years ago, the Rebels had been upgrading and expanding their strategic defense initiatives and air defense network, in preparation for a massive nuclear or conventional missile strike. Not a single missile would go beyond Arabia, Persia, and Babylon; they would either be set to hit facilities there, or would be stopped by the defenses in those provinces. Rebel Army would not be crippled by a massive missile barrage again. When the first missile launches were detected, civilians all over the country would be rushed to bunkers and fallout shelters across the nation. Persia, and to a lesser extent Arabia, would suffer a notable amount of damage. While military installations would have some or a lot of defenses, due to their high importance, civilian targets were not as lucky, and were more open to assault. Multiple factories, bridges, and a handful of civilian ports, would be absolutely destroyed. For some, their livelihood, their futures, their legacies, and others some of their family and friends, would be lost. The vast majority of casualties reported would be civilians, a good deal of them ones whom were not even involved in the war effort. In Rebel Army, news of this would only drum up support for the war, and stir up rage and hatred directed at the Kingdom of Cochin. In addition, due to Aeon's announcement, all armored vehicles would be moved from the border, along with the majority of soldiers, to be redeployed to the front. Additional armored units would join them from across the country. In an odd sight of solidarity, or G-d knows what, some Rebel soldiers would be seen saluting their Aeon counterparts before shipping off. On the Gorsee front, Rebel forces would simply continue to keep the city surrounded, content to have it cut off from the rest of the world.

king of cochin Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 [quote name='TheShammySocialist' timestamp='1322603831' post='2856106'] [/quote] The concentration of attack on the Bishkek sector would finally deliver a prize to the Swedish attack. In the confusion and chaos of recuping from the initial concentrated attack the chaffing and subsequent AGM185 attack by the SAB1s would be missed. However as the missiles approach within 10 kilometers of the border the CIWS nets start opening up but the attrition rates imposed become much less impressive. Of the 108 AGM185s launched only around 15 of them would be intercepted by the border CIWS with 38 of the 45 missiles targetting the GG10 SOP Battalions wiping out fully six battalions off the face of the earth. Of the remaining 55 incoming AGM 158s and GBU 39s around 12 more AGM 158s and some more GBU 39s but that would not be enough to stave off the concentration of attack faced. Several dozens of CIWS batteries located all over Bishkek would get wiped out in this attack. Also destroyed in this attack would be the Provincial Governorate and Barracks of a local Armed Reserve Police Force contingent. Two of the three main runways of the Forward Air Base Bishkek are now temporarily disabled in the attack and though works are going on to bring one of them onstream within a few hours, the other runway would require considerably more repairs. A couple of highway bridges would collapse due to the GBU attacks leading to the deaths of several scores of citizens. The Railway marshalling yards at Bishkek emptied as they are already of all military trains would not affected much in the larger scheme of things. A small but nevertheless substantial hole had been rent into the Anti Air Defense Network in Bishkek sector, a hole that the Royal Cochin Air Force is scrambling to close as several portable defensive units are being brought to bear into the area. The Cochin response would be primarily be in the form of 5 GG10 SOP missiles that would be launched to re-enter at 100 kms behind enemy lines. Each of these GG10s would launch 4 S-RECO UAVs which emerging from the re-entry vehicles in exoatmosphere would stealthily and silently loiter in the air providing terminal tracking solutions to the AADN. Assisting them would be a flight of 8 unmanned stealth GAL Parava UAVs which would silently loiter along the Cochin borders providing additional passive tracking information which would augment the reconnaissance information being sent by 4 Raven stealth UAVs which would cross Cochin air space at an altitude of around 65000 ft. The targetting information derived by these assets would be used by the AADN which would launch a salvo of around 300 SD5 Surface to Air Missiles which would be guided in towards the forward and rear loiter zones of the SAF-1s, SAF-44s and SAF-9s. Meanwhile in Atlantic Ocean, yet another salvo of ASBMs would be launched, 3 per warship, at the remaining Swedish, Athenian and other enemy forces from the Mobile Offshore Base 2. Shortly after this final salvo of missiles is fired the cruise missiles launched by the Swedish Missile Submarines would impact upon the MOB2 obliterating it and taking two-thirds of its crew members to a watery grave.

king of cochin Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 [quote name='Imperator Azenquor' timestamp='1322622681' post='2856313'] [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: 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. [u]Task Force Deployments[/u] Task Force Alpha: (deployed near Karasuk) -10,000 soldiers -50 T-90 tanks -10 BC-091B (BTR-90) APCs -5 Ka-52 attack helicopters -5 BM-30V MRLS -2 S-300 batteries Task Force Beta: (deployed near Kupino) -10,000 soldiers -50 T-90 tanks -15 BC-091B APCs -5 Ka-52 attack helicopters -10 BM-30V MRLS -3 S-300 batteries Task Force Gamma: (deployed near Slavgorod) -10,000 soldiers -30 T-90 tanks -20 BC-091B APCs -5 Ka-52 attack helicopters -10 BM-30V MRLS -3 S-300 batteries Task Force Delta: (deployed near Selo Volchikha) -10,000 soldiers -50 T-90 tanks -15 BC-091B APCs -5 Ka-52 attack helicopters -10 BM-30V MRLS -3 S-300 batteries Task Force Epsilon: (deployed near Rubstovsk) -10,000 soldiers -50 T-90 tanks -15 BC-091B APCs -5 Ka-52 attack helicopters -10 BM-30V MRLS -3 S-300 batteries Task Force Zeta: (deployed near Zmeinogorsk) -10,000 soldiers -50 T-90 tanks -15 BC-091B APCs -5 Ka-52 attack helicopters -10 BM-30V MRLS -3 S-300 batteries Task Force Eta: (deployed near selo Aktash) -15,000 soldiers -20 BC-091B APCs -2 S-300 batteries -9 BM-30V MRLS Task Force Theta: (deployed near Biysk) -35,000 soldiers -100 T-90 tanks -40 BC-091B APCs -10 Ka-52s -20 BM-30V MRLS -10 S-300 batteries Task Force Iota: (deployed near Barnaul) -10,000 soldiers -20 T-90 tanks -20 BC-091B APCs -10 Ka-52s -30 BM-30V MRLS -10 S-300 batteries Task Force Kappa: (deployed near Novosibirsk) -30,000 soldiers -30 T-90 tanks -30 BC-091B APCs -20 Ka-52s -40 BM-30V MRLS -10 S-300 batteries Task Force Lambda: (deployed near Kemerevo) -10,000 soldiers -5 T-90 tanks -10 BC-091B APCs -10 Ka-52s -4 BM-30V MRLS [/quote] The UAV flights that were launched from Vaule would be detected immediately as they cross the Cochin air space by the AADN of the North Xinjiang and East Kazakhstan sectors. As soon as they crossed the Cochin air space SD5 and SD4 surface to air missiles would be launched to shoot them down. All of the UAVs would be engaged by these Surface to Air Missile before they ventured 5 kms into Cochin airspace so as to prevent them from any more encroaching over flights. The Vaulian combat aircraft that near the Cochin airspace, when they fire munitions at any of the Cochin radar emplacements would be shot at with SD5s, SD4s and SD3 Surface to Air Missiles, 5 per aircraft. The missiles fired by these aircraft would succeed in damaging 6 XL12 radars and destroying one XL12 and one XL117 radars. The Vauleyan ground forces would be engaged with a salvo of 220 KUB3 cruise missiles and 110 GG10 SRBMs armed with WATSMs to engage the eleven Task Forces arrayed to attack the Cochin territories.

Centurius Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 OOC: Considering you have not lowered the amount of ICBMs and EMPs I will be making my own assumptions on amounts used based on the rules. [quote name='king of cochin' timestamp='1322505864' post='2854976'] 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] The UAVs while being unarmed had their own defenses, first of all they excelled at their height. This would give the U-2s more time to outrun the SD2s, after all their range was limited to about 70km while the SD2R was even more limited with a range of only 30km. That said the UAVs would not go completely unharmed, around three U-2As were intercepted by the SD2s before they could properly escape. The remaining UAVs would continue with their programming. The U-1s however were in a significantly more difficult position, the U-1s lacked both the speed and defenses to deal with the onslaught from the Cochin defenses. While some missiles were shot down the remaining ones would almost annihilate the U-1s, in the end only four managed to return back to their bases from the bombing run. However the revenge from the manned fighters behind them would be more damaging to the Cochin defenses. Each U-1 that got targeted would transmit both the location of the defensive weapons fired at them and the radar that detected them. Using this information the F-1s would fire 10 NGTAMs configured for an air to ground role each eventually ending up to be a total of 240 NGTAMs. These would, using a combination of infrared, visual detection systems and satellite guidance to hit and destroy radar and anti-air systems. Meanwhile the attack against the Hellenic formations wasn’t a complete surprise and as such defenses were ready. Ever since being established the CAP had been maintained around the clock, as such there was a significant advantage for the defenders. As soon as the 100 SRBMs were fired at the M-1203s the CAPs kicked in. Around 60 of the SRBMs would be targeted by DEWs from two F-1 squadrons and another two F-99 squadrons. This would result in a large majority of the missiles being disabled before they could even release their munitions. The remaining missiles would evade this first counter however the fact the WATSMs were loitering would prove to be a strategic mistake considering the forces ready to counter. Another 10 WATSMs would be engaged by the cannons and Meteor-2 Air to Air missiles from both the F-1s and F-99s. This combined defensive would make the eventual amount of smart munitions that reached the forces significantly smaller at 480. Each of these however would manage to descend on M-1203s and many of the other armored vehicles assembled. However their defenses managed to limit a lot of the damage. The MRLS managed to do significant damage to the unexpecting formations, after all the CAP was busy dealing with the SRBMs and there was no CIWS at the forward bases yet. In the end 200 M-1203s, 50 M-1202s and 10 M-1201s were destroyed, an additional 6,000 soldiers ended up being killed in the attacks. The XIV and XV corps were a lot better prepared for a counter-offensive than the XIII and XVI Corps, they had been dug in and spread out to limit damage from counter-attacks. That said the CAP would be less effective than the former one due to the fact they had to deal with enemy fighters. Three F-99 squadrons moved to intercept the SRBMs launched by Cochin, these would manage to destroy 50 SRBMs in the end. 20 SRBMs armed with GOABs and 30 with WATSMs would pass through the CAP. It was too late to do anything about the GOABs which would explode near some of the formations. Of the WATSMs another 10 were taken down by the F-99s which would fire most of the air to air missiles they had to achieve this. Much like against the other Corps the defenses of the armored vehicles would kick in. The JD Mk4s wouldn’t get a chance to fire their missiles, the F-1 was built around being able to detect and engage a stealth aircraft well before the other side could release its own weapons and the CAP consisted of three of those squadrons. Using the extensive sensor suite the F-1s would have a good estimate of formations flying very fast and approaching the border, this data would be cross-referenced with the extensive database which used intelligence from different coalition countries. Once both the sensor suite and this cross-referencing confirmed the incoming hostiles as JD Mk4s they could begin to counter. Four Meteor-2s for each JD Mk4 would be fired. This entire offensive would be done well beyond visual range to avoid the need for a dogfight. The F-1s would be ready to deal with any missile that the enemy would manage to fire after the missiles either hit or were taken down. The F-1s however would already begin deploying their decoy drones to deal with a response by Cochin. While in the end more munitions managed to go through the losses on this front were smaller due to the fact forces were less concentrated. 30 M-1s, 40 M-1202s, 50 M-1203s and 60 M-1204s were destroyed. Deaths however would be larger due to the fuel-air bombs, a total of 13,000 soldiers were killed in the strike. Around 5,000 more were wounded and were moved from the front for proper medical care. Reinforcements in the form of those that moved away from Aeon were still far away mostly however the first of those in the form of infantry did arrive near the front to reinforce the gaps along the Central Asian front. The Hellenic Forces could not let these attacks go unpunished, while the infantry would still not advance the M-1203s along the border would fire shells at the locations that Cochin attacks came from M-1204s would fire mortar shells at both personnel and armor at the border. By now the decision had also been made to use strategic bombers, five B-11 squadrons would fly from their bases in Athens, two squadrons were armed with NGTAMs, two others with ER-M-51s of the final squadron six aircraft had ER-M-51s and the other six carried thermobaric weapons with a yield equal to about 20 tons of TNT. At a stand-off range, still within the Rebel Army protectorate, the B-11s would deploy their weapons. 768 NGTAMs configured for an air to ground role would target military formations, automated defenses and defenses in general along the border and in the mountains of the Cochin held territory to create an opening for the Hellenic Army to advance, which as mentioned earlier they wouldn’t do for now. 460 ER-M-51s would seek to strike beyond the lines along the border, these missiles were programmed to target and destroy the stations behind the frontline and as such soften up the front for when the Hellenic Army arrived there. Finally 24 Thermobaric weapons were fired at the border regions of all the four Corps. They would specifically attempt to take down larger formations of personnel. [quote name='king of cochin' timestamp='1322509281' post='2855011'] 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. [/quote] The ASBM response had been expected however luckily for the Atlantic Fleet the majority of its forces were still north of or around Cape Verde. In the strike the HNS Zeus(Carrier) and HNS Talos(Frigate) would manage to use their onboard defenses to destroy the incoming missiles however other ships were less lucky. The HNS Doris(Cruiser) and HNS Irus(Ampihibious Transportable Dock) would only be able to shoot down a few missiles before the rest fatally impacted them and caused their destruction. Only seconds after launch the massive ISIS network would begin tracking ICBMs going for Athens, Lisbon, Rome, the Grand Bahamas and Cape Verde. Most of these would be in for a surprise as Cochin was not the only one with a highly integrated and advanced missile defense. As soon as ISIS had detected and confirmed the missiles and their destination the Genesis system took over. For each ICBM thirty anti-ballistic missiles were fired. Depending on the distance between the launch and the target these missiles would be more effective. The system managed to intercept all missiles going for Athens and Rome, Lisbon would be hit with 3 missiles, destroying 3 silos. Cape Verde while hit with more missiles however was prepared for greater missile impacts. Five missiles hit taking down a silo and an airstrip, they also managed to disrupt civilian air traffic control by destroying one of the control towers. Finally a missile hit a civilian neighborhood near the airbase. Finally the Grand Bahamas were significantly less prepared, six out of ten missiles hit the facilities taking down the naval base and most of the air control facilities. One of the barracks was also hit killing 50 Thracians in their sleep. As the Cochin forces had already expected the revenge for this attack would be massive, the commanders of the Atlantic Fleet were ordered not to take prisoners and all Cochin held facilities or land would be open for massive attacks. The forces in the field would follow these orders with pleasure. The location of the MOB had always been known but now especially would become a priority. The HNS Athens would launch a total of 200 ER-M-51s at the MOB, each of these armed with kinetic munitions were launched at the MOB, another 10 ASBMs from Cape Verde would be fired at the location of the MOB to make sure it really was dead. Once the missile strikes had been completed the HNS Apollo would launch 30 U-1s, 10 of these in the A configuration and 20 in the B configuration. Once over the wreckage of the MOB these UCAVs would target and engage the sailors that had made it of the MOB in time, after all the order to not take prisoners also contained the order to not have the enemy get its men returned. The response however would not stop here, the attack had clarified that just stopping supply routes was not enough to destroy the Cochin presence in the Atlantic. Both St. Helena and the St Peter and St Paul Archipelago had to be dealt with. The decision to deal with the latter was actually quite easy, these were too small to have a true civilian population and as such collateral damage was expected to be minimal. To achieve their goals of total destruction an air attack would be launched. From the HAB Porto two B-10 squadrons went into the air, 20 of the aircraft carried their normal payload of ER-M-51s however the remaining four would hold thermobaric weapons, with a blast yield of roughly 20 tons of TNT. One of the biggest conventional bombs the Hellenic Forces had. A squadron of F-5s would follow them however at a distance of about 300 kilometers to avoid detection as a result of simply being next to a high value target. Once in missile range the B-10s would fire a total of 320 ER-M-51s at the manned islands, about a quarter of these missiles were armed with kinetic warheads while the other had normal explosive warheads. Following this strike it was hoped that enough confusion and chaos was created to hide the approach of the remaining four bombers which had not returned back to base. Once in range these would release their thermobaric weapons over the two most populated islands. Should the bombers find themselves engaged somehow the F-5s would engage active ground based defenses and aircraft. Meanwhile a base in the Canary Islands would prepare an Airbus A400M with paratroopers to occupy the islands if the air strikes were a success. St. Helena was significantly harder to target, this had to take into account the civilian centers. Intelligence had confirmed where military was located however so the decision was made to launch a strike much like the earlier one against the remaining military installations. Not long after the B-10s and F-5s returned home silos throughout the Athenian Federation would fire another 10 ICBMs armed with tungsten rods like before. The targets however were more specific this time. RCNB St. Helena Command, FAB St. Helena and the air facilities used by the Cochin military. Following this attack a single squadron of B-11s would fly towards St. Helena again, once in range 192 missiles were fired at the barracks of soldiers, remaining air installations and remaining naval facilities. Upon completion of this strike a message would be sent from Naval Command in Lisbon. [quote]To: The Commander of the Cochin forces in St. Helena From: Commander Manuel Vasquez, Adjutant to the Magistrate of the Navy You have defended yourself well and your men have fought honorably however the time to fight is over. Your government has abandoned you choosing to focus on its homeland rather than the forces and people in the Atlantic. Surrender now and further attacks against St. Helena will stop and you and your men will be allowed to live. Fight on and you will die at our hands.

Malatose Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) [quote name='king of cochin' timestamp='1322513890' post='2855052'] 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] The Luftwaffe GLI-122 bombers were alerted to the incoming Cochinese missiles. Airbourne Warning and Control Aircraft alerted the bombers to the missiles exact locations. In addition, local surface to air missile units were also tracking the missiles. In response, bombers began to release ECM pods, chaff and flares to confuse the incoming missile; however, the pilots weren't all too concerned, as they were flying over protected German airspace in the first space. German SAMs from all across the Kazahkstan protectorate erupted into the skies. As the SAMs approached the incoming missiles, the warheads erupted into thousands of tiny fletchette type projectiles. The tiny projectiles would, in return, slice through the warheads of the missiles causing them to explode prematurely. Nonetheless, the Germans did suffer some damages. Thirty bombers were destroyed, forcing the Luftwaffe to pull a number of replacements out of storage. The bombers exitted the battlespace, but this didn't mean the air war was over. The next strike would come from Cochinese WATSMs and GOABs. Flying with full ECM suites activated that made one German fighter look like twelve on the enemy's RADAR systems, the enemies missiles would have a hard time tracking onto a real target. To join in the confusion, Luftwaffe squadrons broke up to cause more havok. While the tactic was a mild success, twenty fighters were destroyed. Meanwhile, on the ground, the Cochinese retaliation was in full effect. As the incoming missiles were detected, German RIM-703 Long Range Ballistic Missile Interceptors went into action. Using their Active X-band radar homing [SARH and HOJ secondary modes], imaging infrared seeker, encrypted two-way data uplink for course corrections, the missiles zoomed towards the Cochinese SRBMs at a top speed of Mach 8. Using their Kinetic Energy Warhead with 50kg HE Secondary munitions, the missiles slammed into the incoming SRBMs obliterating them completely. Of course some of the enemy missiles made it through causing various amounts of collateral damage, at fuel depots, rail roads and runways. Despite the damages, German engineers hoped to have them up and running again within five full days. With the enemy missile attacks just about over, German forces enacted their own retaliation. With the few remaining satellites in space, German forces had estimated the exact coordinates from where the enemy TELs had launched their payloads. This data was transmitted to German Rocket Troops, who began to launch their own strikes. One hundred hypersonic missiles were now heading towards positions. In order to pinpoint the location of the TELs, the warheads of the missiles clicked on their own proximity RADAR and 3D terrain mapping systems. Upon detecting the TELs, they would zoom towards those positions to obliterate them. [b][Space War][/b] German satellites weren't caught off guard at the incoming attacks. Fifty satellites were put out of action due to retaliation from the enemy. A few satellites managed to survive the onslaught, although German forces didn't know for how long. For the satellites destroyed, German forces prepared twenty micro satellites to be launched within forty eight hours. [b][Retaliation][/b] The initial Luftwaffe attack had completed it's purpose. OKL now had decent intelligence on the Cochin air defense system. In response, OKL began to devise a plan that would knock deliver a significant blow to the system. Thus, Operation Nordwind was devised. In the early morning hours, eight Squadrons of GLI-122 bombers flew towards the Cochinese border. As they neared the border region, the doors on the bomb bays opened and unleased about twenty small drone missiles a piece. The only thing significant on the missile was the rocket propulsion system and electronic jamming warheads. As the missiles approached the Cochin borders, the ECM that was triggerd by sensors in the tail of the missile turned on. Each missile was now transmitting the signal of fifty additional cruise missiles. When the missiles got closer to the enemy's RADAR systems, their RADAR jammers clicked on, which would somewhat obscure them from the enemy's RADAR scopes. After while, the auto pilot took control of the missiles and began to perform basic evasive maneuvers as an aircraft would do when trying to avoid incoming missiles. The sheer number of missiles would confuse the enemies RADAR systems. Of course, the operation wasn't complete. Two more GLI-122 Squadrons, mostly made up of reserve pilots, flew behind the initial formation. These bombers were equipped with five hypersonic cruise missiles a piece. The GLI-122 bombers began to release their missiles into the blue skies, which began to roar to life after a couple seconds and stream towards targets in Cochin. As the Cochin SAM network desperately fired into the skies towards non-existant targets, the hypersonic missiles using their 3D RADAR mapping and other means of self detection would stream towards to the Cochin launchers that revealed themselves. After the initial attacks from Luftwaffe bombers, Lu-67 multi-role fighters soared into action. Five squadrons had been assembled for the operation, and each one were equipped Germania-1 Tactical Air-to-Surface missiles. These fighters did not fly in the typical formation, they all broke off and flew in their own seperate patterns. As they approached the Cochin border, they activated their Electronic Defense Automatic Response Systems. In other words, the Lu-67s were flying in DRFM mode, which manipulates received radar energy and retransmits it to change the return the hostile RADAR sees. For this operation, the each of the fighters DFRM's were transmitting the size and frequency of a basic German cruise missile. When the fighters neared 80km of the Cochin border, they unleashed the Germania-1's, which roared to life and began to fly at a speed of Mach 2 towards revealed SAM launchers. The missiles were guided by GPS-aided INS with LADAR and MMW radar and equipped with 72kg triple-stage HEAT warheads. GLI-117 "Blitz" bombers, fourteen in all, initiated the end of the second part of Operation Nordwind. All fourteen of the GLI-117s were loaded with four Valhalla Air Supression Missiles a piece. The missiles would do the basic attack, to knock out the confused and overloaded Cochin RADAR systems. From the ground, One hundred additional sub-sonic cruise missiles were launched at revealed SAM launchers, railways, fuel depots, runways, and basically anything of military significance to the Cochin military. [b]Decapitation Strike[/b] The final strike of operation Nordwind would consist of Germany's Rocket Forces. From a number of silos across the nation, ten Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles launched into the wild blue. These missiles were not equipped for a nuclear strike, however. The missiles were armed with tungsten rods, and they were targetted towards Cochin airfields close to German protectorate borders.

KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 As the Cochin forces (Freakwar's guys) moved Northeast, they came within the 31 mile range of the Marscurian artillery set up on the border between UFE and Cochin. The six guns at Firebase Dalet were the ones to respond to the first calls coming in from the Marscurian forward observers placed deep within Cochin territory. The line communication was stretched from UFE drones giving the position of the opposing force down to the Marscurian forward observers who gave precise coordinates to the captain of the firebase who gave the final position to the gun crews. "Resh 10, Mem 3, Yud 526, Samech 0, Mem 3, Drayen Keseyderdik Zex," crackled over the radio. "Roger Roger," Captain Markoff responded before replacing the hand piece of the radio. "RESH 10, MEM 3, YUD 526, SAMECH 0, MEM 3, DRAYEN KESEYDERDIK ZEX," he yelled out, putting his earplugs in. The gun crews who had been sitting around the campfire suddenly rushed to their vehicles, started the engines, turned them so that the faced the correct direction, and lowered the platform to stabilize the guns. As the the barrels were being raised to their correct angles, the gun crews put their earmuffs on. BOOM! The first gun shot its 175mm shell down to the target specified. Since the artillery piece took a full minute to reload, the shots were scattered so that the six guns would have a shot fired every 10 seconds. As ordered, this went on for six minutes, so that a total of 36 heavy shells were fired at the Cochin soldiers' position. When this was over, the captain got on the radio again to the forward observers. "New positions required." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of cochin Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 [quote name='Justinian the Mighty' timestamp='1322716742' post='2857672'] An ordinary day was fast turning into a tense one. The day had started as they all had since the men arrived in eastern Kazakhstan. They awoke early, ate, then reported to their posts for the day. Tu-160 and MiG- 39 pilots at a makeshift airfield were on constant alert knowing they could be sent on bombing runs in the Kingdom of Cochin at a moment’s notice. The lengthy mobilization of men and equipment from Slavorussia’s interior to the Kingdom of Cochin’s border had swelled the Slavorussian presence to a respectable size. Then it happened. For the Slavorussians in the German protectorate the sound of German aircraft soaring through the sky harkened the beginning of the war. MiG-39 stealth strike fighters and a few Tu-160 bombers lifted into the air to support the German Luftwaffe. 120 total aircraft armed with High-speed Anti-Radiation Missiles soar toward the Pavlodar, East Kazakhstan and Almaty regions of the Kingdom of Cochin. Their primary goal is to support the Luftwaffe and help to ensure that Cochin’s air defense network is fatally crippled. After the succeeded in their primary goal they were authorized to turn their focus to Cochin's hostile fire weapons, communication nodes, command posts and airfields. Simultaneously on the ground Iskander missiles set their sights on many of the same targets in order to add a level of redundancy in guaranteeing the destruction of the Kingdom’s air defense capabilities. If the Iskanders were successful the air force would have more time to focus on its secondary targets further weakening the Kingdom’s response abilities. The rest of the ground forces would wait patiently for their turn. A ground invasion would be held off momentarily while the coalition softened the Kingdom’s border regions. They knew that bombardment of Cochin’s defensive structures could take days or possibly weeks to adequately soften the enemy’s defensive abilities, but it would be worth it in the end. [/quote] The Slavorussian Anti Radar attacks would be detected when the missiles are launched at the AADN. The AADN would direct the various CIWS defense nests from the Border Guards all the way to the interior where the radars of AADN are actually located to create kill zones to knock out most of these missiles. However some missiles would however make it through the intense defensive zones to destroy 4 XL12 radars, 3 XL117 radars and damage 16 XL12 radars. The AADN's airborne assets would also give early warning of the Surface to Surface missiles being launched and yet more Anti Missiles Missiles would be launched by the defensive nets of AADN to intercept these missiles. Each of the Iskander missile batteries would also be engaged by GG15 Tactical Missiles armed with flechette and High explosives. The Slavorussian army formations closest to the Cochin borders would also engaged by even more short range GG15 tactical missiles armed with Flechetts, High explosives and a couple of GOABs.

TheShammySocialist Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) [quote name='king of cochin' timestamp='1323440877' post='2870906'] [/quote] The Swedish Air Force over Central Asia was not done yet with its strikes, and it appeared that a number of systems appeared to be destroyed by the sudden onslaught of aerial weaponry. The launch of five ballistic missiles was detected fairly quickly by the ground based radar, and munitions began to be thrown at what looked to be another onslaught of surface-to-surface weaponry. As the missiles suddenly broke their payloads apart at higher altitudes then perceived, a number of the anti-ballistic missiles fired into the sky would self-destruct, as it appeared they were not coming back down, only one of the ballistic missiles would be intercepted by an anti-satellite missile fired from an S-500 TELS launcher. At the Tashkent headquarters of the SEF, many personnel were left scratching their heads at this development, when a sudden launch of the three-hundred surface-to-air missiles raised eyebrows and a flurry of radio activity commenced. Evasive maneuvers were ordered, as planes began to prepare their countermeasures for the sudden counter-strike by the Cochin Air Defenses. Deploying their electronic attack systems, their microwave emitting weapons, the SAF-9s would move up to try to engage the wave of missiles with a barrage of microwave energy, frying circuitry as best as possible, with the SAF-1s attempting to do the same, but remaining at standoff range. In the end, with all the countermeasure flares and chaff launched, it would be the SAF-44s that would bear the brunt of the counter strike, with thirty-nine aircraft taken down despite the best efforts of their pilots and the SAF-9s that had moved up to assist. Half of the air crews would go down with their aircraft, the others ejecting to safety, while missiles also accounted for thirteen SAF-9s and another four SAF-1s. Seven SAB-22s would also be caught in the crossfire that was unleashed, and subsequently destroyed in the attack, as well as three SAB-1s which were flying in for another strike against the Cochin air defenses. Twenty more aircraft, of various types, reported damage that would require their immediate departure from the frontline. As operators on board the nearby JSTARS aircraft rallied the remaining combat effective fighters, data had been collected by the ever-faithful SAU-47C Autonomous Drones, as well as by radar systems, on locations of the Surface-to-Air Missile launches. As the NORDCOMM system worked overtime, Colonel Drexel and twelve of his marauding SAB-1s suddenly turned around again for one final run. Launching at seventy-five kilometers out, the SAB-1s would launch their remaining payloads of forty-eight further GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs per aircraft at the surface-to-air missile sites and any other CIWS sites that appeared to remain online, before turning to head back home, punching their afterburners. As the Swedish Air Force began to rally tactical vehicles and unarmed light observation helicopters to retrieve down pilots and aircrew and secure crash sites of the SAF-9s and SAF-1s, electro-optical cameras began searching the skies for what might have been the key to the entire attack on the Swedish fighter lines. With the cameras sweeping the sky, and air defenses appearing to begin to thin out around Bishkek, Swedish ground forces began to appear active again, albeit in a reduced manner. Utilizing their longest ranged shells, Swedish heavy self-propelled howitzer batteries located close to fifty kilometers behind the line began to shoot and scoot again, but instead of high explosive shells, the howitzers pumped out bursts of smoke rounds, which would concentrate around the border town of Stepnoe and walk eastward towards Telek. As smoke rounds began to land around the area, approximately one hundred or so troopers from the reconnaissance platoons of two battalions of the Swedish [i]Livgardet[/i] Brigade began to move forward into the smoke. Utilizing the terrain around them, which they had studied diligently, since these troopers had been the first to arrive here, before the main forces had even arrived and dug in, they moved into the smoke, some with thermal goggles on, some with just normal goggles to protect against the stinging, smoky environment. They would penetrate across the border using whatever cover they found as they moved, utilizing it to try to move as unseen as possible, moving in sections of four soldiers apiece, and maintaining wide intervals. A number of the squads had one member who was carrying a strange-looking device on their back, which looked like it would fold out into a tripod, surrounding what looked like a large modified shotgun, these troops would be the first boots to step foot in Cochin, and if things went according to plan, they would not be the last. As the progress of the first ground troops to enter Cochin was watched by helmet-mounted camera systems back at Tashkent, halfway around the globe, things were hectic for the Swedish battle group, which had slowed to try to pick up survivors from the three sunken vessels of the first missile strike. With the detection of further launches of ballistic missiles, the skipper of the carrier [i]Resolute[/i], already damaged by a missile strike that had penetrated its flight deck, ordered the rest of the ships to leave it behind, while the damaged carrier, no longer of any offensive combat value, continued the recovery operation on its own utilizing its well deck. The [i]Resolute[/i], with the assistance of the arsenal ship [i]Odin[/i], was able to stave off the new round of missile strikes, but the already-damaged carrier [i]Lutzen[/i] was not so lucky, taking another hit which began to sink the vessel, which was already in a precarious state of operation after the first strike. The carrier [i]Narva[/i], already hit once, was hit again on its bow section, shearing off a piece of the flight deck in the subsequent explosion as RIM Standards continued to fly into the air along with shots from SeaRAM systems and CIWS guns. The damaged cruiser [i]Scania[/i] would take another ballistic missile, which split the ship in two when it struck the center of the ship dead on, taking three quarters of its crew with it to the depths. The destroyer [i]Gustav II[/i] would take a missile that point-detonated on its rear superstructure, blowing it apart and stopping the ship dead in the water, while causing a fire on its stern when an aviation fuel tank for its ASW Helicopters caught fire. The already-damaged arsenal ship [i]Thor[/i] would take another missile, that exploded on the stern and knocked out the combat information center, killing a quarter of the ships crew as the large ship slowed speed with damage to one of its screws from the subsequent explosion. Despite the maelstrom, the Swedish battlegroup could revel in their successful counter strike against the Mobile Offshore Base, whose destruction was detected by surface radar, as well as a nearby surveillance drone, but no surface vessels surrounding it precluded that there were limited assets for evacuating the facility. The decision was made by the Swedish battlegroup's leading Admiral, Rex Brenner, to divert the fast combat support ship, the unarmed and unloaded HMS [i]Prepare[/i], which had just finished delivering stores to the Swedish battle group the day before, to the sinking site of the Mobile Offshore Base. The vessel, only loaded down by fuel, turned to the east from its current course northwards and increased to its maximum speed, and deployed its two SUH-60 Helicopters with a slung load of air-deployed life vessels, the two helicopters, which would be flying at their maximum range, would be supported by a refueling aircraft from one of the air bases in Portugal.

Triyun Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) OOC: A proper war playlist! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyHVsFdxGRU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sL8cZpkn4E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QMhSFybfHw IC: [quote] 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.[/quote] UFE RIM-161 missiles continued to stream upwards through the skies, rattling the villages below across the western border, as the AWACs of the UFE air force detected multiple missile launchs. Slamming into missile after missile in their boost phase, the skies lit with firey explosions as interceptor after interceptor slammed into their targets. A few more were engaged by Tu-160 Rudolph's powerful nose lasers downing them. As they entered into their downward arc, AWACs and radars exchanged information. Those that were in range would have their systems fried by radar microwaves, knocking them off course, and as a result while some would fall, they were prioritized so they would fall into the wilderness of some of China's most unpopulated lands. Those that could not be stopped in this way, or would still fall on areas, would then be engaged by a combination of surface to air missiles, directed energy weapons, and close in HDRM ETC cannons. The end result was serious damage to the trans-Sichuan rail way, where defense was the hardest to defend. In the Indian Ocean, the situation was somewhat different. Much of the UFE fleet was in defensive posture in the South China Sea. This left about 3 destroyers, 2 cruisers, and a battleship as the surface combatants. These were positioned near home bases to be protected to a greater extent. Further the radar reduction features of the ships, made their tracking somewhat harder. Nevertheless the sheer scale of the attack was impressive. The Zanzibar garrisons supporting battleship took it the hardest. With less tracking systems available there, the missiles were detected somewhat late. S-500s and the Qin Shi Huang Cruisers onboard systems detected the missiles, engaging 8 of the 12, but four still swarmed in. The first hitting the Qin Shi Huang destroying its forward launch bays another hitting its bridge, and a third doing it in, the second hitting the supply depot next to it in port, creating major damage. In Thailand the situation was somewhat different. Amassed in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand, the UFEs largest battle armada sprang into action firing off volleys both to defend the southern Federation and the few ships on the wrong side of the canal. Powerful radars, allowed for the UFE to track multiple targets on their descent. RIM-161s and S-500s engaged targets across the skies slamming into them on the edges of the atmosphere. As they descended further four squadrons of F-2s and three F-1s, continued the intercept hitting them with pulse lasers to fry incoming guidances. They would then be hit by directed blasts of shipborne and ground borne radar energy to further degrade the incoming missiles. The end result was of the 60 ASBMs, 24 missed due to difficult engaging stealth targets, 10 were intercepted by missiles, 12 by directed energy weapons, and 12 by CIWS. Three hit the battleship dealing critical damage. One slammed into one of the port structures. One hit a destroyer, knocking out its aft section. The counter attack however was fierce. Ships located around the Nicamen and Andaman Islands would be engaged by a major missile attack (12 to a ship) from shipborne forces. At the same time however, massive decoy launch was talking place from land filling the area with dummies to confuse enemy forces and throw off their interceptors as well as force enemy missile intercept stations to reveal their positions. A squadron of F-3s would sweep in on radar signatures using their speed to engage in and missile any AWACs in the area that were present that could give a 'look down' seep. UFE B-11s, flying in the Gulf of Thailand would then use long range stand off munitions to engage the Andaman and Nicamen Islands are defenses as they revealed themselves while maintaining out of combat and detection range. Lastly across the Indian Ocean, from Oman, to Zanzibar, to the South East Federation, anti-satellite missiles launched up into space to engage the Cochinese satellite systems. At the same time UFE SAMs would home in on naval surveillance drones which had ventured too close to UFE territory, engaging them. (300 kilos) [quote name='freakwars' timestamp='1323220856' post='2866516'] The counter-battery fire devastated the positions taken by the Self-Propelled Guns, but their constant movement and their own detection of the enemy positions and missile launches allowed 150 of the vehicles to survive the indirect fire from the enemy batteries while returning fire themselves. The missiles were largely stopped by the five-layer defense system employed by the Kingdom. Another 16 of the artillery guns were lost to missile fire. The necessity of counter-battery fire significantly retarded their attempts to reduce the enemy positions, but the extreme precision of the guided rounds made the fire extremely devastating. The fire from the railguns was devastatingly effective against the artillery batteries, destroying another 26 of the guns. The missile attack on the MLRS was less effective because of the higher mobility of the vehicles. They could fire and be away before the missile even cleared the hill. 12 of the launchers were lost to the counter-fire. Any hostile armor that was out in the open would be heavily savaged by the few SMArt 155 shells that made it through the enemy countermeasures. The IR and radar detectors built into the submunitions allowed them to locate the enemy tanks and fire their explosive penetrators into the relatively weak armor on the top of the tank. The combination of multiple sources of sensor data allowed the submunitions to largely bypass the jamming from the UFE tanks, but a small number of them were unable to stay on target because of the effectiveness of the UFE jamming techniques. Very few of the Excalibur shells made it through the UFE defenses, and those that did had very little effect. OOC: I hope you don’t mind me saying the Excalibur shells had very little effect. The HPM landmines had little effect on the comparatively primitive BMP-3s, BTR90s and BDRMs, but the highly advanced T-150 tanks with Singhforce were heavily affected by the landmines, as were many of the infantry small arms. Luckily, the anti-tank missile launchers and their missiles were not turned on, so the HPM mines did not affect them, and so were still usable. Brigadier General Rohit Raj-Singh was supervising the advance of most of the Second Regiment from a modified BMP-3C Command Vehicle when the lights flickered and died, and the transmissions from the radio abruptly ceased. He was confused for a moment, then understanding dawned. “ Everybody OUT! Move, Move, Move!” The general and his command staff tumbled out of the vehicle as an artillery round scored a direct hit on the top of one of the suddenly blind and defenseless T-150 tanks ahead of them. The damage was not nearly as spectacular as Hollywood would suggest. The round hit in the engine compartment, crippling the tank. The crew bailed out as more rounds landed in among the column. Raj-Singh pulled out his personal radio and tried to contact his commander, Major General Mehta. The radio didn’t even pick up static. He threw it away in disgust. He turned to one of his aides. “Take the command vehicle and get a message to Major General Mehta that the front of the attack has been stalled by some kind of unusually strong EMP. Tell him we are likely to need the reserve force soon.” The young lieutenant nodded and scrambled back into the BMP-3C. The machine turned and blasted back towards the rear at full speed. Suddenly, the world seemed to shake and all the sound of warfare was silenced, then it stabilized in what seemed to be a sideways orientation. Then it started to shudder again. With a start, Rohit realized that an artillery shell had landed nearby and knocked him to the ground. Two of his aides were dead, and a third had a shard through his leg. The third was the one shaking him and appeared to be calling his name, although the general could not hear him. He got back up and started dragging the injured lieutenant towards a nearby hollow that he hoped could shield them from the worst of the shrapnel. The other two surviving aides hurried to help drag their injured fellow and the General into whatever cover was available. When they made it to the small hollow, Raj-Singh turned to one of the relatively uninjured aides and shouted at him through the ringing in his ears, “Tell Colonel Rupesh of the First Brigade to pull the T-150s back and get in contact with the Third and Fourth Brigades to get the IFVs and APCs to scatter to present less of a target for the UFE artillery. Then get Colonel Gupta to deploy Javelin teams as dismounts from the APCs to counter any armor forces. You have my permission to commandeer some additional men in order to contact all the commanders.” Raj-Singh was starting to get his hearing back as he turned to his last aide and told him, “Commandeer us an AXE so that we can get away from this artillery bombardment and get Lieutenant Chahan to the field hospital.” Major General Viresh Mehta watched in shock as the badly battle-damaged BMP-3C that he recognized as belonging to Brigadier General Raj-Singh drew up in front of the HQ building in Hami, Xinjiang. A bloody young Lieutenant he recognized as being one of Rohits aides climbed out of the hatch on the command and saw the General. He hastily salunted and nervously shouted, “General Mehta, sir, Singhforce needs reinforcement!” “Calm down, son. Tell me what happened.” General Mehta said reassuringly. “The Pinkos hit us with some kind of EMP, which knocked out critical systems on the T-150s! The IFVs and APCs were mostly ok, but all the communication is out. General Raj-Singh has been using runners in AXEs and IFVs to relay his orders across Singhforce. He respectfully requests that reinforcements be sent to the North of the enemy line in order to smash through the enemy and get in behind them. He also requests additional Javelin teams to reinforce the main force to brunt any armored offensives and advises you to get the mechanics ready to refit the retreating T-150 forces.” General Mehta nodded thoughtfully and stroked his beard. “No, inform Rohit that he is to retreat to Sitian and an extra 500 men in Javelin teams are on their way to bolster his rear guard. I want him to pull the T-150s out first, then the BMPs, then the BDRMs, with the BTRs bringing up the rear. Split 3000 infantry among the APCs, with any leftovers to go in the AXEs and trucks. I will also send some working radios with you so we can reestablish communications with the whole force for an orderly withdrawal. Whatever artillery we can spare will launch another bombardment fairly close to cover the retreat.” The General Mehta turned to one the aides hovering over and his shoulder, and ordered,"Find Colonel Banerjee and tell him to take 2000 men to reinforce the Border Guards in Xinxingxia." 50 of the SPGs launched a volley from their new positions 30 miles north of their original positions. They fired primarily SMArt 155 anti-tank guided rounds and Excalibur guided rounds for close-in fire on the enemy, then shifted position rapidly again. The Regiment had lost 79 BDRM LRVs, 23 BMP-3 IFVs, 43 BTR90 APCs, 318 infantrymen and 12 T-150 tanks. [/quote] As missile systems lit up, they were rapidly detected by overhead electro-optical synthetic aperture systems. With the enemy's radars and detection methods having been reduced by the amassed air campaign on Xinjiang, the UFE drone force rapidly relayed those targets to various aircraft flying around the border region. Each site was engaged by a pair of tactical missiles, as well as closer in systems that were near the border also faced pulse lasers to destroy the circuitry. Additionally the rail guns would be used to target these defenses as well. MLRS launchers would be engaged by infantry divisions NLOS-LS II missile pods across the front, using UFE drones to keep birds eye views on the MLRS systems as they attempted to flee. The missiles would be on programmed flight paths, where they would skim the Earth's surface to hide from radar waves as they homed in on their positions. Artillery for its part would use its increasing numerical superiority to silence the enemy's guns, this was coordinated with the Mascurian attack against the division. MLRS launchers on the UFE side would also begin targeting the artillery positions to further degrade them, as part of a general suppression campaign, for the impending full scale counter attack. As incoming shells came in, many of them were fried by the microwave systems, which would quickly knock out IR and radar guidance in the shells. Still more were engaged by active defenses of the various tank battalions. In the end about ten of the tanks were knocked out, but at the same time, they were able to begin their advance, attacking the enemy positions from 20 clicks, they would use their own smart 152 mm rounds to severely disrupt the enemies center, while Juggernaut II tanks began counter attacks from both side as the enemy attempted to retreat towards the border. As this was happening, two large signatures came across soaring through the skies creating a deafening sonic boom. Two UFE ICCMs carrying massive thermobaric bombs slammed air bursted right over the T-150 forces attempting to retreat across the border. At this point, all hell broke loose, as UFE forces that had been repositioning themselves opened up with NLOS-LS IIs, tactical ballistic missiles, and MLRS systems, saturating the enemy forces rear guards. UFE reduced cross section gunships, with EWAC drones providing jamming support began making a devastating airborne attack on the 'front line' as the UFE propared to law seige to the beleagured force.

Executive Minister Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 [u][b]Hana Mariyam Chapel, Injibara[/b][/u] Princess Rhianne had not left the Pool of Introspection for some time now. But she didn't care. While the knot in her stomach lingered - a remnant of the betrayal of the Kingdom of Cochin to the Rebel Army and her allies - she could not serve the Principality to her utmost. "Princess?" the gentle voice of Deaconess Toth sounded surreal while Rhianne's ears were still submerged in the crystal waters, beckoning her eyes to open. In one smooth motion, she tucked her knees under her body, twisting her form upright to meet her trusted advisor's gaze. Rhianne frowned, beside the Elder, a number of female Blood Followers stood surprising rigid, or were anxiously looking about. They held weapons in their white-gloved hands, and were in full battledress, [i]"Is something the matter, Livia?"[/i] Rhianne asked, with tones of concern creeping into her otherwise complacent voice. Lightly brushing aside a rather beautiful Blood Follower aside, Toth walked forwards, extending a hand to aid the Princess out of the Pool. Another guard, this time with hair a striking bleach blonde, eyes of green emeralds quickly rushed to the side of the Princess, offering a warm towel to dry the Monarch. "[i]Avatar-of-War[/i] Marxon," Toth began, taking no pains to hide her dislike of the title, "is once again stirring up dissent. He demands personal allegiance from those that serve under him." [i]"I have seen no errors in his judgement as of late, Deaconess,"[/i] Rhianne began, as she shrugged off her damp robe and accepted a replacement readily. There was no shame to be had in this place, for all that stood beneath the dome of the Pool of Introspection were female. "He seeks to marginalize you Princess... Cast you aside as nothing more than a spiritual leader, who is no longer fit to lead the Aeon. He uses our people's warlike past to suppress your teachings of peace and harmony with the world, its... mannerisms." [i]"I must address the people, before Marxon is able to wrest control from us,"[/i] Rhianne said firmly, stepping away from the armed women that surrounded her. The group surged forwards together, walking lightly towards the great double doors leading to the exit of the pool's inner sanctum. "If Marxon is victorious, it will lead to nothing but death. It must be you that leads the Aeon." [...] [u][b]Hana Mariyam Chapel, Injibara[/b][/u] Sister-Acolyte Antoinetta grasped her NMI Ripper tightly in her gloved hands, which seemed remarkably tiny without the protective covering the gauntlets she normally would have been using had she more time to prepare herself. Ceremoniously stepping over the towel the Princess had discarded, she proceeded to the front of the tightly packed group and headed towards the door. The Knight in charge, Ceresa, had hastily taken the Sisters she deemed most trust worthy for a mission that until now was unknown to her. Had Antoinetta enough time to ponder the ramifications of that thought, she would have been thoroughly humbled at being chosen for this mission. Antoinetta had been roused in the middle of her sleep - she had barely enough time to reach the armory for her weapon, and even less under a strict 'moon-light-only' restriction when putting on her armor over a set of ceremonial BDU. Anne could not find her gauntlets, nor her helmet in time before Ceresa urged the small band of the Princess' Blood Followers to Hana Mariyam. Anne was dressed only partially in her Aeon Carapace, with bits of her formal uniform showing. To her relief, she saw several others in a similar predicament. But who was there to witness Anne and her Sister's in their unkempt state? The Deaconess herself, Livia Toth! Anne blushed when she met with the woman - frail, but who at times seemed much more lively and preserved. The Deaconess had murmured to Sister-Knight Ceresa, and before long, the armored woman turned, to address the Sisters. [b]"Sisters! I have roused you from your sleep for a task most dire. We must not fail in our endeavor - for if we do, the fate of the Aeon, nay, the entire continent could be at stake! We must retrieve our beloved Princess,"[/b] she paused, extending a gauntleted hand to gesture as she spoke, [b]"must retrieve the one true light in this world! The one true hope for decency, and for justice. Treat anyone besides the women standing beside you as a potential target - I mean that in all earnesty!"[/b] Anne remembered grimacing at the thought of those words...of fratricide, but she a felt calm now. In the presence of Princess Rhianne, Anne put all thoughts of doubt and reason aside - inside, a blind, passionate desire to serve her Monarch throbbed within her very being. The moment she saw the woman, Anne felt an odd sensation creep into her mind - like a warm current of water was swirling about her - the Princess had given her guards courage. Only the Gods would know how badly they'd need it. [b]"Sister-Acolyte Antoinetta, open the door,"[/b] Ceresa would have shouted the order, if not for the fact that both the Princess and Deaconess were in earshot. Anne quickly obliged, letting her Ripper fall suspended in its sling, grasping the ornate oak handles, pressing into them with her entire body. The doors creaked, and the group made their way into the Atrium. The rest of the outfit was arrayed around this open space, tables had been overturned and everywhere Anne looked, she saw Blood Followers guarding, watching and waiting on the small delegation to pass. Attendants and other Aeon personnel were herded into side corridors or locked into rooms. Stopping infront of a marble dais, Ceresa placed a hand to her temple, conversing with someone on another line - separate from the comm link the guards used amongst themselves. Anne, frustrated at being left out of higher level discussions, deigned to listen in on another high level discussion taking place just behind her. [i]"But why the attendants?"[/i] Rhianne naively asked a nearby guard, [i]"If they wished any harm to fall upon me, I most certainly would have realiz-"[/i] "My Princess, Deaconess Toth loves you very much, we all do. Please do not be alarmed by mere precaut-" A noise outside, roused everyone from their complacency. Everyone except for Ceresa. [b]"Thats gunfire! Team One report!" [/b]Anne sprung into action, grasping her Ripper in one hand, motioning to the Princess and Deaconess behind her to kneel. Beside them, a flurry of activity as the guards nearby threw themselves infront of the two VIPs, while others took defensive positions at each entrance. Looking forwards, she saw Ceresa hold her hand to her temple again, as well as other Blood Followers rushing about. [b] "Deaconess, Princess, please get down! Team One I say again, Report!"[/b] <<Return fire! Return fire! We've got forces inbound on your positon.... its Marxon! COVER THAT DOOR WAY! Secure the Princess and find another exit, get her out of -*BOOM* we'll hold them back as long as we can!->> "Everyone down, protect the Princess!" Anne bellowed as she rushed to Ceresa's side. The two looked at each other briefly, before shouting orders left and right. [b]"Team One was guarding the side exit. We'll take the Princess through the main doorwa-"[/b] The doors infront of Anne and Ceresa exploded inwards, showering the two with splinters and smoke. Ceresa hurled herself to floor while Anne held an arm infront of her face. Thinking quickly, she dropped to a knee, firing a high explosive grenade from her underslung launcher into the jagged opening the breaching charge created. With the screams and shouts vindicating her action, she flicked her firing selector to full automatic as she showered the entrance with fully automatic fury. She looked quickly at the Princess, who merely nodded in affirmation. The VIP and another guard helped the still dazed Deaconess to her feet as Anne turned back to the doorway. The bodies wore [url="http://i710.photobucket.com/albums/ww106/mofailla/CNCTS_Nod_Combat_Armour.jpg?t=1279907824"]Nodic[/url] insignia! [b]"Clear! Good work Acolyte. Laura, you and Anne, keep pushing forward! We'll be right behind you!"[/b] Anne nodded, releasing her spent magazine from its well and inserting a fresh cartridge. Rubbing her cheek with a palm, she took her hand away to see red besotting the fine white silk of her hand. Blood. Laura took the lead, with Anne close behind, before the two saw a number of dark shapes enter from a passage down the hall. Taking no cues, the woman infront sprayed suppressing fire, while Anne surged forwards several meters. Sighting her weapon on a form surging around a corner, Anne paused, walking several shots down her target. The man fell, but not before extracting a pistol. Laura dove, executing the man without hesitation as Anne watched in shock. "Move!" her partner shouted, rousing Anne from her moment of weakness. She had no time to thank her as more forms ran to meet them - but in these close quarters, the attacker's numbers meant nothing. Selecting her grenade launcher again, Anne heard a dull *thump* as another grenade, this time fragmentation, showered the doorway infront of them with debris. Wasting no time to reload, Anne ran ahead. [b]"Please, keep moving Princess!"[/b] came a shout further down as Ceresa and the others ran into the cleared room. The VIPs were hunched, running between two guards that held the rear. [b]"Quickly, kneel behind that body! Anne?!"[/b] "Yes Sister-Knight!" Anne shouted a response, hurtling through the doorway with Laura in tow - -only to meet a furious body throwing itself at her. Ducking and weaving, Anne avoided the vicious blows as Laura dispatched the man quickly with a pistol. Rounding a corner, Anne barely registered the bladed stock of an assault rifle as its operator swung it viciously before she heard the terrifying war cry. Letting training take over, she dropped, raising her Ripper to parry the blow. The force of the swing broke her grasp on the weapon, sending her flailing. He was already training his gun on her as she whipped out her sidearm, firing wild shots at the man in point blank range. Rounds deflected off heavy body armor, throwing off his aim. Finally, a round skipped off his torso, into his armpit. Stepping over him, she sighted her pistol into his neck, severing his windpipe and spine with several shots. Exiting the temple, with the VIPs and Ceresa in tow, Anne turned. "Where are the others?" she cried out. [b]"They are back at the inner sanctum... haven't heard much since we got the reports of a breach... it must have been someone on the inside, they knew to sever our comms first." [/b]With the sounds of rotors chopping the night skies, Ceresa breathed. [b]"Anne, Laura move forwards, the evac is already here!"[/b] <<NMI Team Fulcrum reporting heavy casualties! Several enemy vehicles closing fast! Taking heavy fire!>> [b]"Hurry, they're trying to cut off our escape! Form up, we'll follow."[/b] Hurtling past, with other guards in tow, Anne heard the pitched firefight before she saw it. Aeon regulars were fighting Nodic terrorists, and worse still, Aeon terrorists as well. There were Aeon corpses on both sides of the conflict, and some were definitely were not friendly. Coming to a stop near a wrecked car, Anne replaced her magazine, cursing as bullets and shrapnel whizzed overhead. Vaulting over her cover, she ran as bullets skipped past her knees. She fired, again and again and again. Not stopping to think, to cry, only to reload as she downed brother and sister alike in a sick ballet of death. "Behind you!" Laura shouted as she fired several rounds off to Anne's left. Hurling herself behind a cinderblock wall, Anne fired twice as she saw the man infront of her fall, trusting Laura to dispatch the threat at Anne's rear. Adjusting her aim, Anne fired again, and saw the body go limp. Carefully plinking several shots down range, she dropped to the ground behind the wall in exhaustion. Turning with a smile to wave Laura over to her, Anne watched as the Sister-Acolyte started, only to cry out in pain as her leg was taken out from under her -the force of the blow twisting her to meet her attacker. Anne raised her weapon with wide eyes only in time to see several shots tear through the torso of the girl. As a boot came into view, knocking Laura's lifeless body off its knees to the floor, Anne fired, her screams of rage deafened by the reports of her weapon. She stopped, replaced her magazine again, and turned around, focusing on the traitors infront of her. With much effort, Marxon's attack seemed spent, and the rotors were closer now. Rushing towards the downed Laura, Anne could only watch as the life slowly faded from her eyes. Anne would cry, but her entire body felt spent - and could not afford to waste even a single tear for her friend. [b]"Leave her, she's dead!"[/b] Ceresa shouted as the helicopter came into view, search lights flashing. [b]"Get to the chopper!"[/b] [b]"VIP inbound, VIP inbound!"[/b] she shouted at the helicopter futilely, as she was connected to its pilot automatically via line-of-sight by her EVA unit. Anne stopped, placing her hands to her knees waiting for the need to vomit to subside. As the helicopter touched down, Ceresa rushed to Rhianne's side, [b]"We need to move you now!"[/b] Anne remarked to herself in a moment of clarity, as a search light centered itself around her, another around a knot of guards and a third around the Princess and Deaconess, that Princess Rhianne seemed perfectly immaculate as she stood, despite the pains needed to bring her to where she now was. Not a hair on her delicate head was out of place - even her robe seemed spotless as she stood amongst the dirt and blood besotted women that protected her. The helicopter touched down, and the surviving members of Ceresa's party - a paltry half dozen, stood amongst the ruins of what had once been the Hana Mariyam Chapel. Rhianne seemed distraught at its destruction, and for good reason, Anne thought. Several of her sisters had died in their escape, and it was their duty to see that they did not die in vain. [b] "Acolyte, its time"[/b] Ceresa said, offering a hand to the Princess. [b]"Anne, open the door!"[/b] Shouldering her weapon, Anne ran, grasping the handle of the wide, side panel door of the custom made Liberator. She strained for a moment under the gales the dual rotor craft created, even at their idle speed. Finally the door opened... ... and Anne came face to face with Marxon himself. Time froze as she saw the pistol he held, level at her face. She wondered if she had lived a meaningful life as he saw the man scowl, wondered if it had any meaning, wondered if would anyone ca- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOVEMENTS Taking advantage of the trust the beloved Princess Rhianne Sidamo unwittingly garnered for the Aeon forces - now under the sole command of Avatar-of-War Marxon - the time had come to carry out vengeance of a strangely Nodic nature. The first steps would be baby steps, of course. Several dozen small groups of Fate Operatives and Elite Cadre would infiltrate the Sudanese/Egyptian border. UAV reconnaissance, networked AWACS and good ole-fashioned footwork would help them check for potential pockets of Rebel Army resistance as they probed deeper and deeper into the potential frontline. Their goals were standard - air bases, artillery batteries, surface to air missile batteries, radar installations, telecommunications centers, transmission tower farms, observations posts, border checkpoints. Armed with a variety of weapons suited to any light resistance they encountered, the teams would quickly begin mapping out, and covertly destroying what they could. Pains were made to ensure that the infiltration would move as smoothly as possible, but the threat of lingering Rebel Army, and even Athenian forces would remain. Dealing with these inevitable 'contacts' would be straight forwards, with the teams and UAVs acting together with Aeon SIGINT listening posts and whatever satellite intelligence that could be gleaned as discretely as possible, so as not to give a hint of what lay in store for Africa. Should a small numbers of ground troops be sighted and were determined to be unavoidable, snipers would work in tandem to eliminate the sentries. Should larger groups of forces be found, the team coming into potential contact with the forces would quickly deploy an all spectrum radio frequency jammer to block communications, snipers placed on the watch to destroy laser or other point-to-point transmissions from reaching Rebel Army command. These jammers would be small, and extremely short ranged, and would hopefully be treated as an anomaly of sorts should they be noticed. Once communications were cut off, the infiltrators would engage the forces quickly, with mortar and indirect anti-tank missile fire of both wireless and wired variety, as well as any UAV-borne force multipliers available to eliminate the contacts as quickly as possible. UAV recon belonging to the RA would be sought out by AWACs doing routine patrols along the Aeon side of the border. Utilizing their long ranges, and the infiltration team's proximity to the border, these aircraft would glean locations of potential UAV targets. Infiltration teams would engage with a 'silent' MANPAD system of an Electro-optical/IR seeking nature utilizing smokeless powder to minimize detection. Should the UAV be a EW variety instead of mere surveillance, the teams would switch to passive radar detection, as well as Home-On Jamming missiles. Of course, stores of these weapons would be limited, but the nature of the operation precluded the need for a sustained approach. To recap, Aeon UAV recon drones and HUMINT agents would infiltrate as best they could to scope out as many targets as they could find in the immediate vicinity of the border without drawing too much attention to themselves. Of course the UAVs would be able to see farther, yet the scope was not to find everything. It was merely to have a lingering presence on the 'otherside' while more pressing concerns for the Rebel Army would divert their attention elsewhere. SIGINT listening posts would look for high levels of electronic communications, noting the position of these emissions for later usage. OOC: Spy roll on Lavo, detect rudimentary sentries and defensive positions on the Sudanese/Egyptian borders via HUMINT infiltration, UAV recon, ELINT signals emission monitoring and AWACS. Thousands of km away, the 5 SAATs sat in the night, under the cover of darkness. While the PRA made no sign as to what it would do given the soon-to-be announced intentions of the Aeon, care was done to ensure not even the PRA knew about them. The Rebel Army et. al. had seemed to ignore the quiet North African state, yet pains were made by Marxon to ensure these aircraft were selected for their unique capabilities -including their abilities to both ferry large amounts of troops, defend themselves and go on the offensive. But these behemoths would remain beached in a secluded spot near the border, camouflaged from prying eyes. They would use the PRA's own satellite blinding system and status as a neutral nation to protect themselves. Meanwhile? The 1,000 strong force of fanatically dedicated warriors would simply sit within the massive berths of the SAATs' holds, or arrange themselves around projections of the dozen UAV reconnaissance systems they launched towards a small segment of the PRA/RA border. These drones would scout and linger for a time, as far as they could reach without being spotted. They would not be as thorough in their search for their own safeties, and the safety of the operation at large. Instead, they would remain at stand-off ranges, listening for emissions build ups signalling SAM batteries, outposts and radar installations. OOC: Spy roll on Lavo, detect rudimentary sentries and defensive positions on the Northern most borders of the PRA/RA border via UAV recon, ELINT signals emission monitoring.

Triyun Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Triyun' timestamp='1322950365' post='2860974'] http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=106797&view=findpost&p=2860974 [/quote] OOC: Autoing, Cochin please query me if you want to do more of a character RP, I sent you a PM a few days ago offering an alternative to the broad front RP, I have some other ideas if time is a constraining issue going forward past this week. For the sake of ease, I'm just going to post damages first before my next attack. Please note some of these destruction numbers are based on the attrition of systems in previous posts. If you like my idea, we can move to the city seige RP, and do more character RPs. I'll make these next post for broad front war light, so we can do character RP if you want to do that, but if you don't I'll increase it a bit. IC: Damages: Most of the balloons were slammed into by the missiles, with some of the RIM-161s being destroyed by Cochinese own ballistic missile defenses, however by the sheer scale and saturation, it became impossible to defend against all of these. Alongside the destruction of the balloons, multiple Cochinese radars, about 30% of the ones targeted succumbed to the heavy jamming techniques of the UFE air force, additionally 28% of the stations reported some reduced performance though their mission achieving capability was not completely crippled. With this reduced number, the B-11 launched ER-M-51s, along with Club Ks, and SRBMs effect was dramatically increased hitting 85% of the remaining radar sites as well as destroying numerous air bases and air defense emplacements (though air defenses were still roughly 30% intact). In the skirmishes of the F-5s and Jd. Mk 4s within the borders of Cochinese air space, 18 UFE F-5s were shot down as they attempted to flee while about 30 Jd. Mk 4s were lost in the exchange. This was mostly due to while the UFE pilots had been able to break into BVR tactics, to engage the Jd. Mk 4s in a way which minimized their countermeasures (especially with the destruction of so many radars), the Jd. Mk 4s had more numbers deployed in the area and were able to ambush some of the units even at super sonic. On the border the situation was somewhat different, F-3s would scream across sending missile after missile into the AWACs. Jammers were somewhat effective but attrition was devastating. In the end though the Cochinese were able to down 7 of the high speed F-3 interceptors. On the border with AWAC and radar support degraded, S-500s went up into the Jd. Mk 4s slamming into them enmasse. 30 fell to SAMs, while another 60 fell in sorties with F-1 and F-2 aircraft, while the F-1 and F-2s with superior electronic support systems from the Tu-160s rudolphs fell with 8 F-1s and 15 F-2s. In Tibet, the sorties were more one sided, with the Jd. Mk 4s not as much an issue, UFE forces were able to degrade radar systems further, reducing the Cochinese levels to near negligible levels. Additionally the air defense sites were degraded an additional 30%. Without air cover and with electronic attack protection, this front was more successful with losses of two F-2 aircraft. Additionally, with the B-10 attacks on Urumqi, most of the cities air defenses and radar systems were now knocked out of commission, not without cost though. The Cochinese managed to down another of the high speed stealthy B-10s. Approximately 80% of the S-RECO UAVs without much electronic support were downed as they wondered into the range of the UFEs formidable surface to air missile forces. B-11 bunker busting attacks further degraded the radar systems in Xinjiang reducing the center part to near negligible levels, as well as cut a significant swath through the heavily fortified border defenses at several key points. http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2513/swathescut.jpg (the black areas) Artillery and bunker positions on the Cochinese side began to go down, as they were hit by the shelling barrage with Cochinese radar positions more and more degraded (and thus defenses less effective). Approximately 30 percent of the bunkers were destroyed, with those around areas hit by other ordinance were at slightly higher levels. In key points areas were severely weakened for both Tibet and Xinjiang. New Attacks: With the Cochinese radar systems reduced, the UFE began a general offensive across the front. UFE artillery, backed up by a few rail gun positions concentrated fire around the break through areas, aiming to do more damage to the bunker system. The focus of the fire was using large caliber guns and tactical missiles and rockets to weaken the structures considerably as mapped by ground penetrating radar. Then powerful high temperature shells would be used to create a vacuum effect to suck the enemy out. UFE armor would advance through the desert flat lands, lead by Fury and Juggernaut tanks, with drone overhead electronic signal jamming for the enemy, as well as electro-optical and radar aperture support. The lead units would be equipped with anti-minefield energy and conventional systems to break through any mines, as well as jam any remote detonated explosives. At the very front of the packs would be UGCVs which would be equipped with multiple sniffers as well as magnetic anomaly detectors and EOD capability to further protect from ambush. Units in the initial attack were mostly equipped with the latest in fiber optics as well to be much more resistant to the enemy engaging in EMP style attacks. Along other areas less heavily bombarded by the UFE, fighting continued to be intense with a cat and mouse game between defender and attacker artillery systems. While the Cochinese had held the UFE at a stalemate early on, with each sides bunker complexes, air power and numbers were starting to be a factor. With more air craft and troops focused on one front, the UFE was able to saturate the enemy with more fire, and was able to have better situational awareness. It was slowly starting to turn into a UFE victory. With the UFE firing more shells with more information it had more chances of hitting, and the more often the UFE gained successes over Cochin, the more the odds grew that the UFE would have a successful take down and lower that the Cochinese would. UFE EOD teams supported by mechanized infantry would rapidly advance on bunker positions, with the artillery forces covering them. The forces would be able to now surround large areas of bunkers and engage neutralize them. Skyborne ground penetrating radar and MAD would be used to hit various explosive positions, and boomerang defense systems alone with aircraft would be used to engage fixed defenses as they came online and quickly neutralize them. The advance would be costly, but the use of UGVs, jamming, air support, active defenses, and highly accurate artillery would meke it costlier for the outgunned attackers. In Mongolia where the enemy had had less time to build up defenses, having been another country during the build up, and Cochin being allied to the Federation when it joined. The main UFE assault was even more intense. Armor units would proceed with air and electronic cover, as well as UGV EOD support, to advance into Cochinese territory. Bunker positions would come under fire from multiple moving positions, while the UFEs EOD systems, ranging from directed energy disposal, to chemical sniffers, to MAD, to ground penetrating radar would help avoid mine fields and many of the explosive hazards which could severely retard the advance. Operating with heavy air numerical superiority, the UFE was able to engage many Cochinese units with beyond visual range means and air detection before they themselves were able to know what was going on. http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/7892/mongoladvance.jpg In the air, the F-5s and F-1s continued their sorties with the Cochinese, with 70 F-5s and 80 F-1s flying sorties over Xinjiang, 24 F-5s and 120 F-1s flying sorties over Tibet. These units would continue to engage the Jd. Mk 4s as they showed up in the field (though this would be lessened by not only the destruction of numerous Jd. Mk 4s but also air bases within range of the fight. These units would be aided by their ability to tap into the UFE battlefield sensor network, relying less on their own, and when they did using it for intense concentrated jamming. The Cochinese on the other hand would be forced to rely more and more on onboard avionics with support units and radars downed. 24 F-3s would continue to be used to hunt down and engage any mid air refuelers and AWACs in the area to further degrade the Cochinese air support units. 84 F-2s would fly electronic attack support as well as close air support, super cruising along the front, engaging surface to air defenses and radar sites that still would come online as they went on. EWAC and AWAC stealth drones would continue to provide broad front jamming. Tu-160 Rudolphs would use their onboard radar to provide further AWAC and Jamming support while using their large nose lasers to engage in ground EOD duty and ground electronic attack duty against any sensors or remaining air defenses that were capable of getting locks on the stealth units. B-11s and B-10s would again begin to sorties after reloading. 36 B-11s launched for a attacking on the defenses around Tibets border, engaging bunker targets lit up by magnetic anomalies and high altitude ground penetrating radar with 10 bunker busting reduced radar cross section missiles. They would then unleash from their internal stores another 16 each, divided between air bases in Tibet and bunkers. 12 B-10s would make a mad dash at the border, firing 192 reduced radar cross section missiles, before turning approximately 50 kilos inside the border and making a dash for home, in East China. Their targets would be command and control centers around Lhasa, as well as air bases and air defenses within range of the city. A-47 drones across the front would continue to be used to launch close air support, dropping bunker busters along border positions which had revealed themselves to the UFE. Additionally they would begin sortieing against rear area supply depots for the Cochinese heavy weapons ground forces in the area.

king of cochin Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 [quote name='Triyun' timestamp='1322950365' post='2860974'] [/quote] Nearly 70% of the launched Radar balloons would be destroyed by the attack from the UFE, but they had however served the purpose in the few hours before they were detected by UFE as several additional micro satellites are launched from Space Launch Center in Dagring via Yama-2 rockets to augment the satellite coverage in the region. The 298 ER-M-51 missiles would succeed in destroying 18 XL12 radars and 28 XL117 radars and damaging scores more, leading to redundancy measures starting in the form of primary radar stations now coming up in these sectors. The super computers of the AADN would immediately start to filter out the jamming from the drones and the jamming pattern once studied would also be distributed to other sectors of AADN. With the active radars on the JM4s turned off and receiving guidance primarily from AADN, a radar lock would be denied to the missiles fired by the F-5s and the incoming electro optical missiles would claim a few hits before the Cochin aviators realize the electro optical guidance and start engaging these missiles with on board tactical defense lasers. The volley of incoming Surface to Air missiles launched by the UFE air defense and the F1s, F2s and F-5 supers would first have to negotiate through the battered but still functioning AADN defenses from the border all the way to the interior. The massive pumping of electromagnetic energy would have scant effect on the JM4s photonic systems which are the cream of the Project Gold Shield. However the massive Radiation attack would merely prompt Air Defense Batteries closer to the border to launch Anti Radiation missiles at the fighters, lobbing 5 per fighter from mobile launchers. The NGTAM missiles would be detected in advance as they fly in and during the time they seek out JM4 targets optically they themselves would find being interdicted by the tactical laser defenses of the JM4s. For every S-RECO interdicted by the UFE defenses several more S-RECOs would be launched by the Border Guards fortifications. The ground penetrating radars used by the UFE would initially only find targets that are designed to be seen by the Border Guards. In one of the largest passive fortifications, the UFE shells would be landing primarily on pre laid out defenses designed to send a sense of complacency to the attackers and lure them into the greater traps in store. The MLRS launchers and the SPGs would play a game of "Battleships" with their UFE counterparts in a usual game of attrition trying to knock each other out while moving constantly. However the advantage of several pre designed firing points with secure movement zones would ensure that casualties in the Cochin ranks would be considerably reduced. The cyber and electronic warfare attacks on the JM4s would be repelled in part by the fact that the JM4s' radars would be switched off and the secure communication protocols of AADN would robustly check the warfare. However the EWAC drones conducting these attacks would themselves find being tracked by the AADN as the sensor suites all over the body of the JM4s would give coordinates of the attack source and these AWACS would themselves find being engaged by Radar/Optical tracking Air to Air Missiles from the JM4s as well as ground launched Surface to Air Missiles. The JM4s would operate in teams of four concentrating on various sectors assigned to them, with further teams in the rear and would thus engage in the melee battle with the UFE fighters from the other side of the border with their own BVR missiles. The subsequent mass attack of combined Air to Ground Missiles, SRBMs and finally cruise missiles would find themselves renting a huge hole in Cochin AADN. Scores of airfields and radars in Xinjiang and Tibet would be destroyed in this massive onslaught, an attack that would take the AADN some time to recover. As the secondary redundant units come on line, interior units are busy restoring the damaged or destroyed air stations to near serviceability. As a retaliation nearly 100 of the old decommissioned JM2s which had however been reconfigured for drone and trainer duty by the Training Command would be launched from reserve air bases in the Kingdom. Effectively UAVs these JM2s would however show all indications of being frontline combat fighters being controlled by ground controllers far away. Formed in textbook tactical assault formations, this force of 100 automated JM2s would breach the UFE borders at Mach 3 speed. When engaged with defensive systems however they would start deploying their payloads. Each JM2 would be carrying two canisters containing 25 jammer pods each. Each of these pods when triggered releases a concentrated burst of electromagnetic energy that would blind any radar platform in the vicinity apart from destroying through EMP defenses. Apart from these canisters each JM2 would also be carrying 4 modified S-RECOs which are designed for one and only one job, to massive jam the radar units in the region. Each of the JM2s when engaged by missiles would dive straight down at the nearest AESA radar site as detected by its own radar and as per tactical intelligence stored from AADN. While some maneuvers would be done to evade the incoming missiles, the JM2s purpose is basically to serve as a highly maneuverable tactical missile in this case. Simultaneously one full squadron of ASPERs would launch a volley of long range Air to Ground missiles at UFE's air fields and radar sites in a range of 300 kms from UFE border. Launching the missiles fully 100 km within Cochin territory, these stealth bombers would after launching the munitions immediately retreat to their own reserve air bases to ream. Coupled with the confusion from the JM2 drone attacks there is a higher probability for the success of this attack. Along with this around 500 cruise missiles would be launched at UFE's radar stations and airbases by ground units at the border. With all these attacks timed to occur within one or two minutes of each other there is a greater probability that this counter strike would be a success for the Kingdom.

With each Hedge Hogs nearly 10 feet tall it would not be possible for any tank to drive straight through. Even mangled after numerous direct hits they would present considerable rubble which would have to be manually cleared to pass through, but here is where the anti personnel and anti armor mines laid out would serve its purpose. From a range of half a kilometer on either side of the Hedge Hogs is an intricate mine field with both types of mines interspersed along with more Bali ADS and flechette and White Phosphorous mortars. Yet again, Rebel Army forces would not see a single Cochin soldier even at this point. A few of the slower GG10 TEL units would find themselves obliterated by the Rebel Army counter attack but with most of these battalions well trained to be highly mobile the attack would not be as successful. At Gosree, the entrenched garrison would continue ensuring their defensive preparations are proper in case Rebel Army attempted a full blown siege and invasion but if the enemy chose a more expedient way, the defenders of Gosree are prepared for that as well.

The F1s flying CAP would be detected early on by the AADN and their positions confirmed by the launch of the BVR AAMs. However this would not be any worry for the incoming RCAF Regiment which would flying in at Mach 2 would launch their munitions and race back to their own defenses but not before launching their entire AAM ammunition. Before the first F1 launched BVR missiles would even cross the Cochin air space the JM4s would be racing back to the rear at Mach 3 having launched their own BVR missiles, 96 in all at the F1s. The incoming BVRs would also be interdicted by the AADN defenses before finding their targets having outrun them. The 768 NGTAMs would face attrition resulting in around 450 missiles finding targets. Similarly of the 460 ER-M-51s around 120 would be interdicted while the rest would successfully find targets. Of the thermobaric weapons 20 would successful the rest being interdicted. Though the larger RCA formations are not at the frontline heavy attrition would be meted out to the Border Guard brigades in this sector with nearly 5000 dead and 6000 injured. The MOB being already destroyed by the Swedish attack would just lead to waste of munitions for the Athenian Federation. At the detection of launch of ER-M-51s, the garrison of St Peter and St Paul Archipelago would launch a further volley of around 56 GS19 ASBMs at the remaining Athenian and allied warships before bracing themselves for their imminent death. The entire garrison of St Peter and St Paul Archipelago would be destroyed in the ensuring onslaught with no survivors. In St Helena the bruised but functioning AADN would detect the incoming ICBMs and all except one ICBMs would be interdicted by long range Anti Ballistic Missiles. The ICBM that made through would however hit the Regimental Headquarters killing all of the Administration staff. The Base CinC however being elsewhere would escape unscathed. Of the 192 missiles detected approaching St Helena around 170 would be interdicted by the concentrated active defenses but the remaining 22 would strike 2 more barracks of the Third Marine Division. In all the casualties of this day's attack would be 1500 soldiers and 360 injured. As regards the message from Athenian Federation a reply would also be sent: [quote]From: The Commander of the Cochin forces in St. Helena To: Commander Manuel Vasquez, Adjutant to the Magistrate of the Navy Nuts[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of cochin Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 [quote name='Malatose' timestamp='1323745557' post='2876005'] [/quote] Of the 100 missiles targetting the SOP battalions, around 60 would be interdicted by the AADN but the remaining forty missiles would completely destroy two SOP Battalions. The jamming that started by the German missiles would initially cause some confusion but the super computers of AADN would swiftly filter out these jamming noises. The signal of one missile suddenly erupting to become signal of 50 missiles indicated that an electronic warfare is on the way. The Electro Optical targetting units of the AADN would immediately ensure that these are in fact only jamming missiles and a full fledged cruise missile attack is not on the way. However this distraction would be the ruse for a real attack so the AADN readied more Electro Optical Tracking units in case things heated up and this preparation did not go to waste. The second wave of cruise missiles was now detected and early target confirmation was received from the Aerostats in the sector that these are in fact cruise missiles. Having figured out the earlier ruse, the AADN concentrated on interdicting the real cruise missile attack. Of the 120 cruise missiles 96 would be interdicted but 24 would however find targets. The Germania-1 Air to Surface Missiles would similarly be unable to fool the AADN as the alerted electro optical targetting units would seek the radar return to confirm the nature of target. While several of these missiles would as ever be interdicted some of them would however find targets. Finally the 56 Valhalla missiles would find not a confused Air Defense network, but a highly alert and well prepared AADN. Around 48 of these missiles would be knocked out with only 8 getting targets. The final volley of 100 cruise missiles would also find themselves attritioned heavily with only 34 cruise missiles managing to find targets. Of the ten ICBMs 7 would be interdicted by the SADN but the three that got off would destroy two airfields completely and temporarily decommission one. OOC: The counter attack would be posted in a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator Azenquor Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 [b]OOC:[/b] This is my response to Cochin’s initial attack and the ensuing casualties. I'll post my next move shortly. Sorry for the delay. [b]IC:[/b] [u]Aerial front: [/u] Expecting a rapid reaction from the Cochin forces, the Vaulian Military attempted to make use of satellite intel as well as information from the UAVs and nearby RADAR systems in order to track the launch points of as many of the surface to air missiles as possible. The 30 Vaulian UAVs made no attempts to return to Vaulian airspace, despite the rapidly approaching missiles, instead they made a few evasive maneuvers (primarily attempting to drop altitude and sharply changing course). These maneuvers had little practical effect and the enemy missiles downed 25 of the 30 UAVs just after they entered Cochin airspace. The remaining five UAVs managed to push a bit further into Cochin airspace before being shot down. The 3 squadrons of SU-24 aircraft reacted differently to the missiles launched against them by Cochin military positions. The three squadrons deployed anti-missile countermeasures en masse in an attempt to shake off the approaching missiles. Five of the aircraft in each of the squadrons executed split S maneuvers and accelerated to Mach 1.20 on a heading back towards Vaulian airspace, particularly towards the areas covered by Vaulian anti-missile systems. Wherever possible, these aircraft would attempt to use naturally occurring geographic features to attempt to shake off the missiles. The remaining aircraft continued deploying anti-missile countermeasures and evasive maneuvers and continuing on a heading that would take them deeper into Cochin territory. Once the first wave of missiles had subsided, of the 21 aircraft that continued into Cochin territory, 14 were shot down and 3 were severely damaged and forced to disengage. Of the 15 aircraft which were attempting to return to Vaulian airspace, 3 aircraft were shot down and 4 were heavily damaged, the remaining 8 aircraft managed to return to Vaulian airspace unscathed. [u]Ground front:[/u] The missiles launched at Vaulian ground forces would have to pass through several layers of anti-missile defense systems before being able to reach the Vaulian soldiers and military equipment on the ground. (OOC: Assuming the missiles were divided evenly between each of the eleven task forces) First the missiles would be engaged by the stationary S-398 Odin (MIM-104 Patriot) systems in the southern military region. The Odin systems would be used to primarily target the incoming barrage of cruise missiles, with each of the eight launchers firing 16 anti-missile missiles (for a total of 128 interceptors). At the second stage, eleven S-400 Trident systems would launch their complement of 44 interceptors targeting as many of the remaining GG10 missiles as possible. As the final line of defense, the 49 S-300 batteries deployed with each of the task forces would also attempt to intercept as many of the remaining missiles as possible, with priority given to the GG10s wherever possible. Of the incoming barrage of 220 KUB3 Cruise missiles, 83 were successfully intercepted in the first phase. Of the 110 GG10 missiles, 33 were successfully intercepted in the second phase. Of the remaining 137 KUB3 Cruise missiles and the 77 remaining GG10s, a grand total of 127 would be intercepted (48 GG10s and 79 KUB3s). The remaining missiles (29 GG10s and 58 KUB3s) would not be intercepted and would strike the various task forces deployed to the region.

Triyun Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) The PLA has begun ocupation procedures across the entirety of the Kingdom of Cochin with broad collapses on many fronts. But this was not the end, it was the end of the beginning. As the central Government of the Kingdom of Cochin began to fall apart, many powerful warlords, as well as the various factions attacking the Kingdom would begin a struggle for power... OOC: Will expand on this more later, basically claiming the north with the south as a protectorate for now. I'm going to be turning this into a continued RP, rather than just an abrupt ending that will tie into the Unraveling the Gordian Knot RP, and give this thing some justice.

Centurius Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Following the rather sudden collapse the Hellenic Army would begin operations to ssecure St. Helena and all other Cochin assets in the Atlantic. OOC: Much like Triyun really, will work on it more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
