The Blind Lightning from the Skies

One of REDFORs decisive weapons in the campaign are the SSM brigades. There are three of them (well, it's not much of a secret...) at the start of the campaign.

They have stationary launch sites on the OPmap, in predefined hexes. The BDEs are mobile and don't have to deploy at these sites, but they do get some extra shelter at the launch sites, which may prove valuable.
These three BDEs are directly subordinate to the Syrian GHQ, meaning it will be the CinC that handles them.


The BDEs have a limited number of strikes they can perform (how many is classified!) during the MC. These strikes may be launched at strategic locations like NATO air bases or where REDFOR suspects a MOB is located.

But, and here's the tricky part -they might also be used to strike at Israeli territory - which is out-of-bounds to any other activity in the MC. There's a random chance/risk that this will provoke a Israeli retribution - and this may lead to moslem countries abandoning the Coalition. And that would render quite a lot of negative SVPs to BLUFOR...

So what can counter these missile strikes ?(BLUFOR has CMs-Cruise Missiles) Well, some ADA units are capable of defending against this kind of strikes. Hopefully, as the MC starts, the OPCOs will have reviewed which ADA units to put where...
