[@johnbewty]

A CWIS costs $3.5K per second to fire. I would assume CRAM is similar. If the cost of a cruise missile is $1mil, the break-even point would come at around 285 seconds of CRAM fire. (This excludes the wear and tear on the CRAM itself; the barrel is gonna melt at some point...) Of course, this is all dwarfed by the planes on the runway that the cruise missile is targeting...

[@EmillioMelendez]

[@bertram-raven]

Some explosives are so stable they won't detonate no matter how many times they are hit. At close in range missiles can still cause damage by "suiciding" if terminal guidance is lost or when the system thinks it may not make it to the target but is "over" the enemy. This is done when internal control signals are lost - not by active command. Such a detonation may not hurt hardened targets but squashy meat based assets are more susceptible to bits of flying metal.

[@vicroc4]

​​@@bertram-ravenEach missile took enough hits that the structural integrity of the airframe would not have been high enough to resist the aerodynamic forces they were under. They would've torn apart before they could impact.

Just one suggestion though, might be helpful if you could just drop the links to the mods you use in the videos. Figuring out for example how to setup Aim-120D with the F-15C can be a daunting task for some someone new to DCS. Awesome job btw with these videos. Almost a daily dose for me 😉.

Failure. You're not the priority. The priority is those assets on the ground. If you're already high and fast, u need to push hard at first fox3 chance.

Avoiding the cruise missiles launch are the priority there at first shot Excellent video as usual 👍🏼

[@deekamikaze]

I think that is a mission failure. The enemy was able to destroy their targets. They got fighters, bombers, and a sam site. That's a lot of damage

[@theiceman447]

This one didn't really do it for me. I feel like you should have been intercepting the bombers way before they dropped all their missiles because we would have known that they all took off and were heading our way. But i get it, dramatics and whatnot.

In chess, if you're up in materiel, you want to trade pieces, because your opponent has less materiel to lose. So I'd say this is a mission success. They lost 2 Bears (plus one heavily damaged) and 4 fighters in exchange for 2 bombers and 2 fighters. If we can maintain a production edge, that's a win.

[@BasedF-15Pilot]

The F-15C could structurally carry 12 missiles. We never did because there were some aero and airframe stress issues with the outboard pylons, and we never had a solid use case for the configuration. I think airspace sanitization of cruise missiles is a good use case for missile truck configs, but again, we've never been defensive like this because historically we've achieved air superiority within a few days. The EX model can carry 22 with the new missile racks.
