Crotale SAM system

    CROTALE mod by GKABS

    1) Historical background

   The Development of the Crotale Surface-to-Air Missile system began in 1964.
   The Crotale is a very short range SAM system (Sol-Air à Très Courte Portée or SATCP).
   It was said that South Africa paid 85% (France: 15%) of the first step development
   costs of this SAM System. The Crotale was named "Cactus" for South Africa.
   Thomson-CSF for the radar and the electronics, and Matra (Engine division) for the
   R440 missile were the two prime contractors.
   South Africa received the first systems in 1971.
   In 1971 France placed the first order for operational tests: 1 Acquisition Unit and
   2 Firing Units.
   The Armée de l'Air bought this SAM system in order to protect their airfields.
   The Crotale in this first opérational version (Crotale 1000) was above all engaged
   for the Egypt-Libya and Angola wars in the 1980s.
   Further developments were launched for several customers among the 15 ones which
   ordered this system.

    2) Installation in your Strike Fighters 2 installation(s)

   There are 2 options :
    - The "Sand" version in order to put in any "Desert" type SF2 install,
    - The "Green" version for any "European" type SF2 install.

   So you'll find them into 2 separated packs ready to play :)

SA-10 Grumble A/S-300PT SAM system

By Farid

The S-300 PT is a long-range surface-to-air missile systems produced by NPO Almaz. The S-300 PT is intended to defeat current and future air targets in all conditions of their combat employment under intensive ECM and multiple-threat environments, such as government precincts, industrial facilities, command posts and headquarters, military bases, strategic and tactical airfields and nuclear sites. The S-300 PT system was first deployed by the Soviet Union in 1979, designed for the air defense of large industrial and administrative facilities, military bases, and control of airspace against enemy strike aircraft. The project-managing developer of the S-300 is Russian Almaz corporation which is currently a part of "Almaz-Antei" Air Defense Concern. S-300PT was using 5V55 missiles developed by MKB "Fakel" design bureau. The S-300 PT is also capable of destroying ballistic missile targets and is regarded as one of the most potent anti-aircraft missile systems currently fielded. Its radars have the ability to simultaneously track up to 100 targets while engaging up to 12. S-300 deployment time is five minutes. The S-300 PT missiles are sealed rounds and require no maintenance over their lifetime. A typical battery would be equipped with three 5P85 TELs, each with four SAMs, or double the SAM complement of the S-75/SA-2 it replaced and permitting 2 rounds per launch. The designation of this TEL following a mid-life block upgrade became 5P85-1.

Type 625A/625E SHORAD

By simonmiller416

Please note that because there is less information about this air defense system leaked to the outside world, this mod has certain [What If] content.
So what are Type 625 and 625E?
"Based on the revealed images, the Type 625E is a short range air defense system, or SHORAD. It is built as an 8×8 vehicle-mounted self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and surface-to-air missile system."
—— From Military-Wiki
This SHORAD is set to debut in at least 2021, with Type 625 being PLA’s own version, while Type 625E is the version intended for export.
The difference between them is that the Type 625 has a longer gun and only 2 short-range anti-aircraft missiles on both sides.
In this mod, due to the lack of 100% accurate model materials, I personally transformed the Type 625E based on the real prototype, named it Type 625A and set the service date as 2020.
In summary, this mod contains:
1.Type 625A SHORAD (Olive Green/Desert Digital);
2.Type 625E SHORAD (Woodland/Desert/Desert Digital).
Usage:
Copy the Objects folder into your SF2 main folder.

Special thanks to:GKABS (for the Stinger model, the HY-6B seems to have a similar appearance to the Stinger, so I adapted based on his great work)

Roland Rad for SF2E

By Florian

SAM System "Roland Rad"
-----------------------

This model shows the air defence system "Roland Rad" as used by the german air force till 2005.
It is in fact the same weapon system as the "Marder Roland" allready availlable, but the Luftwaffe version is mounted on a 8x8 truck.

Installation
------------
- Drop the folder "RolandRad" into your "Groundobject" folder
- Drop the folder "Roland2" into your "Weapons" folder, you might allready have this missile from the "Marder Roland" Mod or a weapons pack!
- I use this in SF2 Europe, but it should work with all other Generation 2 Games also!

Credits
-------
Thanks to Gabilon and Mig Master for creating/upgrading the "Marder Roland" Mod, from wich i used the missile and some DATA!

This mod is freeware! Use at own risk!
