SAM range with all the Russian air defense systems for testing.

"Russian backed forces moved an interesting variety of AAA near our AO, in Georgia proper.
Not openly backed however, meaning you can decide to engage or not."
-The main point in designing the mission was to gain familiarity, and practice fighting, the better types of AAA-only units.
-All AAA locations are located between wypt 0 and 1. I recommend learning the area, using cities, lakes, and forests to memorize how to find the targets, or add waypoints if you want to.
-There are triggers to alert you when entering each type's engagement radius. None of the batteries ranges overlap, you can only be in range of one group of 4 at a time.
-If you are new, rest assured, you can just blaze through at 400 knots, 1500 feet, to see the "fireworks", as long as you don't fly straight, at all, you will be fine. That being said, batteries of 4 provide a challenge, especially the Shilka and Gepard.

Updated Version 1.3: Russia has built up an expeditionary Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) in Syria. Russia intends to use this IADS to push the potential cost of continued US coalition involvement in Syria past the threshold of acceptable risk. On 03 OCT the Russian military deployed the S-300 (NATO reporting name: SA-23) air defence system to the Syrian naval base in Tartus. Russian forces already operate the S-400 (NATO reporting name SA-21 Growler) long-range air defence system, which has a claimed range of 400km, as well as the S-200 (SA-5 Gammon), in Syria. Russia also operates a number of short-range air defence systems, including the Pantsir-S1 and Buk missile systems, as well as the naval version of the S-300 a Slava-class guided missile cruiser in the Mediterranean. In addition to the IADS, Syrian forces operate the Bastion coastal defence system out of Tartus.

As the Syria map features the old RAF Bloodhound camp at Episkopi, Cyprus, I converted a readily available Bloodhound as a static object for DCS.

Copy the unzipped folder to your /saved games/DCS(.open beta)/mods/tech folder. In the game you will find the Bloodhound under static objects - structures.

Hello :)

This is a Mirage 2000 EM livery of the 82 Tactical Fighter Squadron from the Egyptian Air Force (based on the Mersa Matruh AirBase in Egypt). It seem to be a livery of the years 80-90. The IRL Mirage 2000 EM have 2 kind of livery. One with a full light yellow, and one with a bicolored gray (this one).
