MIG-31A Foxhound
The most capable Russian air defense interceptor aircraft, the FOXHOUND has a multiple-target engagement capability and was the first Soviet fighter to have a true look-down, shoot-down capability. The key to the MiG-31's effectiveness is the SBI-16 Zaslon fixed phased array antenna radar, codenamed 'Flash Dance' by NATO, which is said to be the world's most powerful fighter radar. The new Soloviev D-30F6 engine was specified for the MiG-31 in order to improve range, the key performance parameter for which an improvement over the MiG-25 was demanded. By 1987 over 150 FOXHOUNDs were operationally deployed at several locations from the Arkhangelsk area in the northwestern USSR to the Soviet Far East. The FOXHOUND is dedicated to the homeland air defense mission. The FOXHOUND carries the long-range AA-9 air-to-air missiles, and can engage 4 different targets simuitaneouly with the M-9.

TU-160 Blackjack - Cold War version for SF2 1.0.0 by UllyB

By UllyB

TU_160 Blackjack - Cold War version for SF2 series project by UllyB

The Tupolev Tu-160, NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and second only to the XB-70 Valkyrie in overall length.It is the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber now in use and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.
Entering service in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. As of 2016, the Russian Air Force's Long Range Aviation branch has at least 16 aircraft in service.The Tu-160 active fleet has been undergoing upgrades to electronics systems since the early 2000s. The Tu-160M modernization programme has begun with the first updated aircraft delivered in December 2014.
*************************************************************************************************************
TU-160[ColdWar] test package readme (Baffmeister observations & conclusions)
This test package requires the addition of the Cockpit folder, Skin folder, and Aircraft Lods to work properly.
MODEL ISSUES:
No model animation ID for the leading edge flaps. They are presently set up on a rotation axis but they don't look very good so it is probably better to just disable them for the release version.
The real TU-160 probably used a combination of ailerons, spoilers and differential H-stab deflections for roll control but only ailerons are available at present. The H-stab is built as one piece so no way to get the differential H-stab deflections functioning.
WEAPON ISSUES:
Slightly modified KH-15 nuclear tipped missle included. The base quantity was increased from 4 to 6 to match the present capacity of AGM missle bay. The maximum capacity is 12 on the real Tu-160 but considering the effect on frame rates with so many nukes going off 6 might even be to many. Maybe 2 per plane would be enough. The maximum of 12 would be a good option for later versions with conventional warheads.
When carrying conventional bombs the accuracy is very poor which is typical for Bombers in game. Maybe someone could put together a "semi smart" bomb that the AI can use that would improve accuracy.
BOMB BAY ISSUES:
The original was set up with both manual doors and automatic doors to operate the rotary launcher. I don't think that can be made to work so just using manual doors.
DATE RANGE:
For testing the start date is set to 1986 so you can fly F-14 intercepts on the TW Iceland NA terrain. The actual service entry date for the first TU-160 version was April, 1987.
AVAILABILITY:
Probably should be RARE or VERY_RARE for a release version but set to VERY_COMMON for test version. Should only take a few trys to get an F-14 intercept against the TU-160 on the Iceland NA terrain.
ANTI-SHIP ISSUES:
When doing player flown ANTI-SHIP missions I haven't been able to get the AI to successfully "Attack My Target". They can't seem to get within the firing parameters for the KH-15 Missile and end up flying around in circles. It's possible to get them to do an attack if you lead them around first and line them up outside 10KM before giving the "Attack My Target" command.
FLIGHT MODEL AND DATA INI ISSUES:
The flight model still needs work as do the min/max extents, damage modeling and collision points.

***************************************************************************

*The model has Triple dragchute as in the real aircraft and has one historical skin made . Also the model has proper crew windows and proper crew positions inside the plane.

Antonov An-26 "Curl"

After successful operations of the An-24T tactical transport in austere locations, interest in a version with a retractable cargo ramp increased. Initial studies for he retractable ramp were carried out as part of the projected An-40 medium transport.
When given the go-ahead for the An-26 in March 1968, the Antonov OKB adapted the ramp design of the An-40 to the An-24 fuselage, resulting in the An-26. Particular attention was given to the military mission, and the majority of early An-26 production was delivered to the VTA (voyenno-transportnaya aviatsiya).
Using the majority of the An-24 airframe, with its high-set cantilevered wings, twin turboprops and stalky main undercarriage, the An-26 included military equipment, such as tip-up paratroop canvas seats, an overhead traveling hoist, bulged observation windows and parachute static line attachment cables. The An-26 made its public debut at the 27th Paris Air Show at Le Bourget where the second prototype, CCCP-26184 (c/n00202), was shown in the static aircraft park.
The An-26 is also manufactured without a license agreement in China by the Xian Aircraft factory as the Y-14, later changed to be included in the Xian Y7 series.

Ilyushin IL-78 Midas

The Il-78 tanker was developed and designed in the Ilyushin Aviation Complex in Russia. The main reason behind its development was an expansion of the transferable fuel load of an earlier version of tanker, the Il-76.
The Il-78 has a total transferable fuel load of 85,720 kilograms (188,980 lb), which includes 28,000 kilograms (62,000 lb) from a pair of 18,230-litre (4,010 imp gal; 4,820 US gal) tanks in the freight hold. In comparison, the Il-76 has a capacity of only 10,000 kilograms (22,000 lb).

IL-10 "Beast"

The Ilyushin Il-10 (NATO reporting name: "Beast") was a Soviet ground attack aircraft developed at the end of World War II by the Ilyushin construction bureau.It was also license-built in Czechoslovakia by Avia as the Avia B-33.
After the war, until the early 1950s, the Il-10 was a basic Soviet ground attack aircraft. It was withdrawn from service in 1956.
The Il-10 and its licensed variant, the Avia B-33, became a basic ground attack plane of the Warsaw Pact countries. From 1949 to 1959, the Polish Air Force used 120 Il-10s (including 24 UIl-10), and 281 B-33s.
In Poland, the B-33 was modified to carry 400 l fuel tanks under its wings. From 1950 to 1960, Czechoslovakia used 86 Il-10s, including six UIl-10s, and about 600 B-33s. From 1949 to 1956, the Hungarian Air Force used 159 Il-10s and B-33s, named "Párduc" (Panther). From 1950 to 1960, the Romanian Air Force used 14 Il-10s and 156 B-33s. Bulgaria also used these aircrafts.

In the late 1940s, 93 Il-10 and UIl-10s were given to North Korea. They were then used in the 57th Assault Aviation Regiment during the early phase of the Korean War. They were initially used with success against the weak anti-aircraft defense of South Korean forces (following the US refusal to supply the south with "heavy weapons"), but then they suffered heavy losses in encounters against the USAAF fighters and were bombed on the ground themselves. After several weeks, about 20 remained. In the summer of 1950, North Korea received more aircraft from the USSR. The North Koreans claimed to sink a warship on 22 August 1950 with Il-10s, but it was never confirmed.
From 1950, Il-10s were used by the People's Republic of China, in two regiments of an assault aviation division. They were used in combat during a conflict with the Republic of China, (Taiwan), over border islands in January 1955. They remained in service until 1972 (replaced by Nanchang Q-5). From 1957, Yemen used 24 B-33s.

As we realy needed this plane for every early cold war scenery (KAW, SF2EU, TSF, Taiwan, Timor ....) I decided to finish it at all cost and skin in every known post war liveries.
This is a real team work (see credits)

WHAT'S IN:

- the beast (at last!)
- 29 all around world skins (I lacked only Yemen & Indonesia ones, due no pics found)
- pilots
- guns
- weapons

CREDITS:

- Aleks original model
- Cocas 3D upgrading & fixing

An-12 "CUB" & bonus An-8 "CAMP"

The Antonov An-12 (NATO reporting name: Cub) is a four-engined turboprop transport aircraft designed in the Soviet Union. It is the military version of the Antonov An-10 and was made in many variants.
The first prototype flew in December 1957. Over 900 had been built, in both military and civilian versions, before production finally ended in 1973. The An-12BP entered Soviet military service in 1959. In terms of configuration, size and capability, the aircraft is similar to the United States-built Lockheed C-130 Hercules. Military Soviet and former-Soviet examples have a defensive tail gun turret.

Bonus Plane:

The Antonov An-8 (NATO reporting name: Camp) is a Soviet-designed twin-turboprop-engine high-wing light military transport aircraft.
The first production aircraft was rolled out in December 1958.
The majority of An-8s built served in the Soviet Air Forces, with two An-8s being used to land special forces to seize Plzen airport during the Invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.Others were used as electronic reconnaissance aircraft, and one aircraft was used for air sampling following Chinese nuclear testing in 1966.They continued in large scale use on front-line military duties in the Soviet Air Force until the 1970s.

WHAT's IN:

1 An-12 flyable plane;
1 An-8 bonus (adapted) flyable plane and edited skin;

Tu-4 Bull SF-2 pack

The Tupolev Tu-4 (NATO reporting name: Bull) was a piston-engined Soviet strategic bomber
that served the Soviet Air Force from the late 1940s to mid 1960s.
It was a reverse-engineered copy of the U.S.-made Boeing B-29 Superfortress.

What's in:

-Tu-4 main production version, originally designated B-4. PLAAF H-4.

-Tu-4A nuclear capable bomber used to test Soviet RDS-1, RDS-3 and RDS-5 nuclear bombs.
The standard Tu-4 was not capable of carrying these weapons.

-Tu-4K/KS anti-shipping version, armed with KS-1 Komet missiles carried between the engines under the wings.

-Tu-4R long range reconnaissance.

This work began only as a limited skinwork for bringing to Jon a better bomber to use in Formosa and TSF.
But after all serials were made, I remade and upgraded all 4 versions.
Especially the Tu-k now fitted with pylons for KS-1 Kometa and Tu-4A with RDS-3 nuke bomb.

Credits:

- MontyCz for original model
- Lindr2 for the SF1 version
- Eburger68 for first SF-2 edits (Nato)
- new decals, skins and edits are mine.

Install:

As usual all in main mod folder.

I hope this will be usefull in NATO, TSF & Formosa campaigns making ....

Enjoy!

ATT!!! before downloading if you have the old one , Erase completely including decal folder ,as this replaces all.
The Ilyushin Il-76 (NATO reporting name: Candid) is a multi-purpose four-engine turbofan strategic airlifter designed by the Ilyushin design bureau. It was first planned as a commercial freighter in 1967, as a replacement for the Antonov An-12. It was designed for delivering heavy machinery to remote, poorly served areas of the USSR. Military versions of the Il-76 have seen widespread use in Europe, Asia and Africa, including use as an airborne refueling tanker or as a command center.

IL-28R

IL-28R

After Ilyushin had developed a two-pilot trainer version of the Il-28 Beagle,
they turned their attention to developing a reconnaissance version known as the Il-28R which first flew on 19 Apr 1950.
The Il-28R was equipped with a camera suite in the bomb bay, together with mountings for am portside oblique camera in the rear fuselage.
Various day or night cameras could be carried and for night photography 12 flares were also carried in the rear of the bomb bay.
Fitting a larger fuselage fuel tank, which abutted into the rear of the bomb bay and by adding wingtip tanks, increased the range of the Il-28R.
Although the rear tail gunner was retained, the right nose cannon was removed and replaced with camera controls – the bomb aiming radar was also removed.
Production of the Il-28R was authorised in late 1951 and it soon entered VVS service.

SF2 KAW Tu-2 "Bat" by Cocas

By Do335

The Tupolev Tu-2 was a medium bomber used by Soviet Air Force in WW2. Surplus Tu-2s were delivered to Chinese PLAAF post-war and organized into 3 bomber air divisions. During the Korean War, the 8th and 10th division conducted 3 air raids on Nov. 6th, 29th and 30th, 1951, against UN troops on Taehwa-do island, located about 70km southeast of the mouth of Yalu River. The first raid was most successful achieving acclaimed 90% hit rate. The third raid was intercepted by 4th FIW Sabres with heavy losses. Daylight sorties with prop driven bombers were thus phased out by both sides in the jet age.

****

Tupolev Tu-16 Badger Collection

Although the Tu-16 began as a high-altitude, free-fall bomber, in the mid-1950s it was equipped to carry early Soviet cruise missiles.
The Tu-16KS (Badger-B) version could carry AS-1 missiles over a combat radius of 1,800 km (1,125 mi).
These very large weapons were aerodynamically similar to the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 fighter,
fitted with either a nuclear or conventional warhead, had a range of about 140 km (90 mi).
They were intended for use primarily against US Navy aircraft carriers and other large surface ships.
Subsequent Tu-16s were converted to carry later, more advanced missiles, while their designations changed several times.
A versatile design, the Tu-16 was built in numerous specialized variants for reconnaissance, maritime surveillance,
electronic intelligence gathering (ELINT), and electronic warfare (ECM).
A total of 1,507 aircraft was constructed in three plants in the Soviet Union, in 1954–1962.
They were exported to Egypt, Iraq and Indonesia.
Egypt: 20 Tu-16KS; 6 Tu-16T; 20 Tu-16KRS2/K-11; Tu-16R
Indonesia: 25 Tu-16KS

SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K

By Wrench

SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K

= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =

This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's Soviet/WarPac Transport and AWAC aircraft.
It is REQUIRED that you have SF2NA in your merged install, as several of these reference
the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12 destroyed
model. Hence, the need for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you won't
have the dead wreckage on the ground. Also, the AWAC versions use the "AEW" avionics
coding from SF2NA.

Included in the pak are remods of:

An-22 Cock
A-50 Mainstay AWAC
IL-76 Candid
Tu-114 Cleat (Aeroflot airliner)
Tu-126 Moss AWAC

Aircraft that were exported have userlist inis included (ie: the Il-76). Any that I
missed, End Users are encouraged to 'fill in the blanks', and post those changes.
All avionics, in particular for the AWACs, have been brought up SF2NA standards at the
July 2012 patch level. New sounds for the prop engines are included. Although cockpits ARE
included for all aircraft, really people...let the AI handle them. They exist for 2
reasons: eye candy and targets.
Skins remain in their bmp format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE. All decals
reference stock markings, including the Bort numbers. New damage textures are supplied, in
DDS format.

As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions
in several of the inis, you may wish to examine them, mostly in respect to SF2NA, you may wish
to replace the originals with these.

**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems
that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be
created**.

Happy Landings!

IL-38 "MAY"

IL-38 "May"
The Il-38 is an adaptation of the four-engined turboprop Ilyushin Il-18 for use as a maritime patrol aircraft for the Soviet Navy. It meets a requirement to counter American ballistic missile submarines. The Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of Ministers issued a joint directive on 18 June 1960, calling for a prototype to be ready for trials by the second quarter of 1962. The fuselage, wing, tail unit and engine nacelles were the same as the Il-18 and it had the same powerplant and flightdeck. An aerodynamic prototype of the Il-38 first flew on 28 September 1961,with the first production aircraft following in September 1967. Production continued until 1972, when the longer range and more versatile Tupolev Tu-142 derivative of the Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bomber had entered service.
