Sayyad was based on HQ-2, which in turn is an S-75 (SA-2). Isn't that an asset in DCS?

[@nowar008]

Is it possible in DCS to shoot a SAM in ground striking mode?

[@grimreapers]

The Sayyad-2 is a canister-launched, reverse engineered version of the RIM-66 Standard Missile (SM-1) naval surface-to-air missile that Iran obtained from the United States before the 1979 revolution.[4] It is an upgraded version of the Sayyad-1 system with higher precision, range and defensive power. The range of the Sayyad-2 missile is not known. Different sources claim various numbers, from 60 km to 120 km.

[@xpk0228]

Sayyad 1 was based on HQ2, Sayyad 2 is based on RIM-66 Standard Missile (SM-1)

[@AEFisch]

The carrier has FA18 Growler's not just HARM missiles. The Growler would blind those ancient missile radars?

[@brianwright9514]

Too bad DCS can't really replicate electronic warfare. Most of these simulations would be wildly different since a lot of the missiles launched against Western forces wouldn't even need to be shot down.

[@tylerouimette2934]

Rifle is called when a pilot launches a Air to ground missile regardless of type. Magnum is called when an Anti radiation missile is fired. Fox 1 is semi active Fox 2 is IR missiles. Fox 3 is Active guided missiles. Paveway is laser guided bomb launch. Pickle is called when releasing dumb bombs. I believed Fox 4 used to be guns. That was switched to simply. Guns guns guns. There's more but these are the most common.

[@tylerouimette2934]

a couple more common ones are. Raygun, when a pilot locks an unknown target. This is usually followed by Buddy spike, prevents friendly fire. Mad dog, is when an AMRAAM is launched without a target launch using the missiles on board radar to find a target. I believe a JDAM launch initially was " Snakeeyess" but I believe they got rid of that.

[@Stinger522]

Fox four used to stand for guns until they replaced. Bruiser is the brevity code for anti-ship missile and IIRC, Greyhound is the brevity code for an ALCM.

[@tylerouimette2934]

@@Stinger522Fox 4 sounds terrible haha

[@WyvernFalken]

RE: Our 'rifle' convo, Cap. Per the multi-service brevity code sheet, RIFLE is brevity for friendly air-to-ground missile launched. If Wags truly said that RIFLE is only for Mavericks, he is mistaken.

The Cobra is cheaper to operate than the Apache, as well as the Cobra uses a 3 barreled 20MM, where as the Apache uses a single barrel 30MM chain gun. No one knows how to enjoy a day at the beach more than the United States Marine Corps

Just to let you know, guys. 1 click isn't 5 miles. 1 click = 0.6214 of a mile. So, 3 clicks would have been 1.8 of a mile. In case you didn't know what a click vs. mile was. Great video, tho. Keep up the good work, gentlemen and ladies.

[@cuz_i_sedso9574]

he said 7.7 clicks which was responded as about 5 miles

@cuz, I rewatched the video, and you're right he did say 7.7 clicks. I dont know where I heard 1 click...lol

Klick / click is synonymous with kilometer. 7.7 klicks is just short of five miles. 5 mi = 8.04 kilometers / klicks

[@rogerpennel1798]

The US may be delaying retaliation against the Houthis because they want the impact of Houthi attacks to cause more trade disruption and ensnare more nations' shipping. That would increase international pressure on Iran and the US may not have to take unilateral action. Or in other words, escalate to de-escalate.

Simply, very much, wrong. US gear is made by for-profit companies with so many Senators getting handouts. Russian gear is made by state-owned and state-run companies that don't need to make any money, yet do with the now booming export market.
