Afganistan

[+Jug 99]

Has anyone considered Afganistan as a terrain and campaign area? Just think of the raging air to ground battles that have taken place there since 1979, Soviet and American. Think of the wide range of modern aircraft deployed and the multitude of missions possible. Looks like an area ripe for picking and fits the current threads on mountainous terrain elsewhere. Anyone working on this?

I think Afganistan airwar cant possible without Su-25 and Su-24

Su-24 work too hard from 1984-1989 without any losses only 1 plane was light damaged in unaccurate takeoff, and 1 plane lost during night landing with side wind at 15 m/s - w/officer died. Su-24 first use in combat KAB-1500L, and KAB-500L

 

 

Su-25 was CAS plane in Afganistan only at first 15 months of war 200-OShAE (attack squadron N200) make >2000 CAS flights. Since 1985 Su-25 has average time in action 250-300 hours at pilot (su-17 - ~ 120 hours). Rutskoy-469 missions. Some planes has ~ 950 missions on plane (with differents pilots ). 12 Su-25 pilots died. Su-25 carried 256 flare/chaff (since 1984). During war Su-25 lanched 139 Kh-25 & Kh-29L missiles.

lindr2, according to this thread (the 5th post), there were more regiments in Afghanistan than the listed above. Can you confirm this?

I am also trying to recreate the historically correct markings and serial numbers of the units used there. I've collected most of the serials of the 120th and 168th, but didn't have much luck with the others. Can you help me with this?

[+lindr2 19]

27 GIAP, 145 GIAP, 927 GIAP etc/ I think YES, to more squadrons was in rotation, my list was more old on a relation you link date...

 

Serial numbers? It's big problem ...sorry i don't know needed men
