Improved Battle: • IMPROVED Yemen Houthi ...
Today we simulate a US Carrier Strike Group passing close to Yemen. Houthi insurgents launch a coordinated strike using C-802 anti-ship missiles, Iranian drones and Scud missiles. Will the carrier group survive? If so, could it pursue and stop the attackers?

Amazing vid, Cap! DCS fails to model the US' most powerful weapon in senarios like this: Electronic Warfare. In reality, those cheap drones and missiles would be VERY vulnerable to jamming since they dont have Electronic Counter Counter Measures. I believe majority of the incoming fire would be taken out just by EW. The rest can be handled by SAMs.

I'm only at the scuds so far, but I couldn't help myself and had to comment. Amazing visuals in this mission, truly epic with the altitude, missile volume, and area of the map allowing you to visualize everything so well. Great job! We need more scenarios that use scuds hah. Maybe some sort of fictional US amphibious landing in the same region?

WarGame proposal: what is the cheapest way to get a hits on a single Aegis cruiser? My guess is launching lots of the cheapest rockets that can pose enough of a threat to require engagement. I suspect it wouldn't even need to be time-on-target as the goal would not be to saturate the defenses and leak some through but rather to drain the magazines and leave them with nothing to defend with.

Well the cheapest option in total is to amass thousands of cheap, unguided rockets like the Qassam and launch them when the cruiser passes by. However, the cheapest *effective* way to hit an Aegis cruiser is probably use something like the Miltec LCM (literally 'Low Cost Missile') or 3M-24 Uran. Both missiles cost less than 500K USD and are ARH with shaped charge warheads and programs to maneuver. You would still need probably tens of millions of dollars worth of them, but it's much cheaper than using a YJ-21 (9.5$M USD) or a 3M-22 Zircon (up to 15$M USD).

Interesting scenario. Would be fun to revisit in the future with some complexity added in. Such as maybe civ traffic on the road or stopped near the road to be avoided? Also most, maybe all, of your scenarios have near perfect intel, which doesn't seem realistic. In this scenario for example, you didn't know what route the fleeing trucks would take, but you did know all opposing forces and their locations at the start. I suggest that occasionally you add-in some enemy assets that GR doesn't know about pre-mission (and if you are flying you have to not act on the knowledge). In this scenario, maybe a SA-6 site inland that unexpectedly turns its radar on mid-mission, or a couple of rogue Iranian F-5s, or if you're feeling nasty, F-14s, show up and a scud hunt turns into a dog fight. I wouldn't suggest this more often than once every 3-4 scenarios, but even when you don't add in the 'incomplete intel' trick, I bet GR will be just a bit more tense and on their toes.

I agree. These videos are great, but I also wonder whether this platform could be stretched to mirror more of the complexity of actual events. Perhaps you could add conditions unknown to human participants, like escalation aimed at less protected nearby assets in case of US troops targeting specific Huthie assets. Not sure this is the best way to go about it, but it could be nice to raise the bar somehow. Thanks!

This would be a good test of Aegis vertical launch with the fully-active Type 6 (self-contained full-up tracking ability; just an initial aim point value from the fire-control and many WHOOSHES straight up). The earlier versions had to have the ship's radar support the semi-active Types and thus fewer targets can be handled at a time. The Type 6 is indeed a very good thing here!!!

I'm confused. Why is this scenario played in Egypt? Yaman is WAY down the Red Sea where it meets the Gulf of Aden. Your labeling is incorrect, this map shows where the Gulf of Suez meets the Gulf of Aqaba to form the Red Sea (that Dahab, Saini hint there). Bab Al-Mandeb Strait is much narrower and poses a much greater risk to any ships (especially a US Carrier Strike Group) going through it.

Can you fly Romeo sea hawks as armed recon? I know CSG and amphibs have flown Zulu cobras or Yankee hueys as armed recon when traversing through the straight of Hormuz for fast reaction strikes against pop-up threats before. I reckon a few armed recon hornets with a mixed load-out (1 amraam + atflir or two amraam + lightning in vmfa's, aim-9x, and mix of 1 Maverick/harm, 2 gbu-12/49/JDAM (or CBU'S rarely) and 2 bags, or double-ugly w 1 amraam + atflir, maverick, 2 gbu-12, 1 harm or gbu-31). Having some of those up on highest threat axis looking for potential pop-up threats would be a good offensive fleet defense posture going into such tight straights (hormuz, al-bab, malaka). Would be interesting to see how this would affect the engagement.

First off the Navy would/should be aware of what missiles and launch areas and where they would be set up. Plus awacs and drones would be in the air. So, when the first missile was launched it would be known where it came from. Carrier would be launching aircraft and support ships would be launching missiles. The carrier would launch every aircraft that could fly, then turn away and go further out to sea. The aircraft would know the area the carrier would be and return to those coordinates. This is called an alpha strike. Those aircraft would be recovered, hot refueled, rearmed and launched. I have great confidence in the carrier battle group and the sailors aboard them.

I think the boats and drones should have been launched first so everything reached the fleet at the same time. That would give the attack the best chance of doing damage since there are only so many defensive missiles that can be in the air at the same time. Plus, it would limit the FA/18s since the airspace would need to be clear for SAMs. Also, we need a crossover video with Binkov's Battlegrounds sometime.

Real word: if a carrier had good enough reason to make that run, would they have the fighters in the air and weapons free? Or maybe stated to other way: if the situation isn't urgent enough to kill anything that looks like an active threat, why would the CV be there at all? Also, does DCS have any UAVs? SEAD missions with defend-only/shoot-second rules of engagement would seem to be a great application of "disposable" UAVs as they would allow you to know exactly where a lot of the SAMs are right up until the other side launches. That combined with a ship launched equivalent of MLRS could be rather interesting.

@@duanemckinley9353 IIRC Yemen isn't on good terms with Saudi Arabia so even under "normal naval operations" it may be politically viable to have attack planes in the air ready to respond to anything overtly threatening. Time of flight might make it impossible to kill the launchers before they get something off, but if the aggressor knows the best case is they will 100% not be getting the launchers back and likely wouldn't even get to fire a full load before they die that would probably make a difference in their thinking. Actually, what might make a viable strategy would be a super-saturation attack using something like Qassam rockets (the launcher is cheaper than the rocket and thus expendable) with a goal of forcing the CSG to expend it's air defenses. (E.g. present more potential threats than the defender has missiles to shot them down with.) Maybe as a prelude to something more targeted? That line of thinking is making me yet again think that the 1st world militaries are going to need to develop some high-volume/low-cost defensive systems just to buff the kills/engagement stat.

The USN would absolutely have a CAP at a minimum in the air when doing something high risk like transiting through a straight next to a hostile country and potentially various manned and unmanned USAF assets in the area to support if the risk was high. You would have to ask Cap, but I suspect that they had issues with getting hit by friendly missiles if they didn't wait to take off. That is a potential issue in real life although there a number of ways to mitigate that issue. There are a large number of issues in successfully performing swarm attacks on a CSG. Qassam rockets and the like are cheap, but they also have very short range and have no guidance to target anything much less something moving and maneuvering at 30+ knots in the sea. Systems like Aegis are capable of calculating trajectories and discriminating between threats and non-threats leading to much higher interceptor efficiency. While Gaza's dense urban landscape and massive tunnel network allows for surprise volleys against Israel, the Houthi's lack those advantages meaning that any massing missile forces would alert the CSG who could simply avoid them or would cross through prepared to strike them the moment they moved. They weren't used in this SIM because nothing got close but system like CIWS and SeaRAM are able to perform moderately high volume and relatively low cost intercepts of anything that happened to get close. The basic economic issue is that giving a weapon range, speed or accuracy makes it expensive which then precludes a low budget force using them in volume. The US is still concerned with further reducing cost to intercept low-cost munitions which is exactly the thinking behind systems like HELIOS, LAWS and the LWSD although none of those can handle a particularly large swarm on their own yet.

​@@duanemckinley9353All valid points. But the gamesmanship has some other options open. If you can have fake rockets ready to "launch" for months on end you can force every CSG to a high alert posture which is a win of sorts all by itself and would just require a few thousand fence posts and lengths of drain pipe. Also relevant is if you can make the real launchers stupid cheap. The CSG and CAP can't know which are real until it's launched and no longer worth hitting. It's yet another action/reaction game that is far from clear where it will end up.

Hi! I love watching your simulations, guys. I don't know much about the procedures, but shouldn't a strike group in an unfavorable region have at least two pairs of fighters in the air, if not more? Next question. What would happen if 5,000 drones, missiles and other armed flying objects were launched from hostile territory towards the strike group? Your film shows how little costs have to be incurred to threaten a fleet worth several thousands percent more.

I would imagine that satellites might be used to track drone trucks grouping near the coast where they can be cluster-bombed before the carrier group comes within range.

the drone trucks look identical to civilian lorries and wouldn't be identified until they fire. So unless the US has good Humint in yemen (which it doesn't) you won't see it coming.

I love these swarm attacks, but realistically they dont represent proper strategy. Its open source knowledge that a carrier strike group has about 1k anti-air missiles, plus their seawiz. A competent military strategist would be sending atleast of 3k missiles/drones to overwhelm. I know there are tech limitations to actually doing that, however that would be more representative of if china actually wanted to take down a strike carrier group.

Exactly and the real forces in Yemen would never be dummy enough to start something as this they can't even defend themselves from SA. Their armed forces are maybe at ten percent the rest is defeated or running to their families if those still are alive they where under attack since 2015 I can't imagine why cap thought this would break sweat

@evan6034 money, power, resources. But if china were going to do it, it would be much larger. Theyd probably covertly convert container ships to arsenal ships with modular missile launchers in shipping containers. Thats 10-20k missiles (both anti-land/ship and anti-air, or suicide drones). They would do a coordinated strike on both us coasts to blow up our ports, shipyards, naval bases, and carrier groups and bases in korea/japan/phillipines/hawaii. Not for an invasion mind you, but to remove the USA from having any influence in the pacific. Then they could subjugate Australia for food imports, japan for tech, and taiwan for chip manufacturing. In a day they could become the worlds only supplier of microchips and the US wouldn't be able to build a naval presence again for at least a decade and likely would lose status as a world power.

theoretically with a relatively cheap image recognition seeker they could. If china sells consumer drones that can optically recognise and track targets for a few thousand dollars, that tech can be retrofitted to a shaheed.
