T-6G Mosquitos in Vietnam ?
BoloG replied to Geary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Well wiki is more less correct in that instance. Remember when You think Vietnam war You have to think BIG and outside of the box. T-6G s and AT-6s were used in late 50ties and early 60ties by Royal Cambodian Air Force and Royal Laotian Air Force. Laotian T-6s were extensively used not only as a FAC s but also as light attack and CAS aircraft frequently piloted by French and later US advisors before replaced in large part by T-28 Trojans.

Russian Tu-95 SM Bombers escorted By IRIAF F-14 s over Syria
BoloG replied to BoloG's topic in Military and General Aviation
They probably think that presence of VVS long range assets will work as a umbrella for them. That s a good one, so are the Tomcats escorting Bears here or the Bears are escorting Tomcats. Every self respecting american Tomcat driver or RIO should be making facepalm right now. I think this were much simpler times: Regards. -
Russian Tu-95 SM Bombers escorted By IRIAF F-14 s over Syria

Nine lives of Persian Cats. Translation from polish military news site. Source: http://www.konflikty.pl/aktualnosci/wiadomosci/iranskie-f-14-u-boku-tu-95sm/ Iranian F-14 Tomcats accompanied by Russian long-range Tu-95 SM bombers during raids on the infrastructure of the Islamic State. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published on Saturday short video where we can see how Iranians Tomcats escort Russian bombers while dropping bombs in Syria. The first Iranian Tomcats were put into service at the time of Shah Reza Pahlavi, when the United States and the then Empire of Iran were allies. Service life of F-14 was extended until 2030 by installing a new local avionics, radar systems and weaponry. The upgraded machines fly, assisting Russian bombers near the Israeli-Syrian border. It is believed that the protection of the Tu-95 SM during combat operations is secondary task. Thanks to the intelligence ELINT equipment their primary job is to fly in Syrian airspace near the border with Israel and to collect data on an Israeli air defense system. Tehran believes that the operations of this nature are safer for pilots and machines instead of solo flights that could be at risk of shot down by Israeli air defense. -
Great AAR and great campaign, thanks. To get in the mood I just finished reading "Bloody Shambles" by forefathers of modern military aviation history C. Shores B. Cull and Y. Izawa I also finished reading W. Bartsch "Every Day a NIghtmare - American Pursuit Pilots in the Defense of Java, 1941-1942". Incidentally I havn t found any offline or dynamic campaign on M4T or SAS ragarding USAAF Far Eastern Air Force defense of Dutch East Indies. Shame really because I like to play as a underdog with unachievable objectives just to survive. If anyone created something regarding that campaign I would be gratefull for info.
