RUSSO-JAP Exercise

[Kapitan]

Exactly what it says on the tin, my logic here be explained.

It has been over 60 years since the Japanese and the Russians have come together to fight at sea, in recent months the tensions between pyongyang and tokyo have grown increasingly worrying for both Russia and Japan.
President Putin and Prime Minister Fukuda have signed a pact which includes other nations such as the United States, Great Britain, and Australia that should any Hostile action from North Korea be focused on any one of these nations (more so Japan) they will act in accordance with the threat.

Last month Japan announced it wishs to create ties with Russia in a bewildering move that stunned the world, former enamies for most of the past centuary Japan has announced that it entends to create a series of exercises with the Russians and eventually work together on other such threats to each others countries.

January the 28th will see the Japanese fleet sail from Yokasuka and the Russians from Vladivostok over 100 years after the infamous Russo Japanese war of 1905, but this time its just an exercise.

Japan is sending along two destroyers and three frigates and two submarines as well as land based maritime aircraft, the Russians have stated they are planning to send a cruiser two destroyers and two small frigates with two submarines, land based aircraft is unknown at this point.

The aim of this three day exercise is to show North Korea that both Russia and Japan mean Business, the aim mainly is to mission kill the flag ships which are heavily protected by escorts.
The japanes flagship a kongo class destroyer will be the target for the Russians, while the Ustinov Cruiser is the flag ship for the Russian fleet and again is protected.

This is a series of war games planned to take place this year another more ambitious exercise is planned for early to Mid february and could involve other nations as well.








Ok so thats the background got the objectives its 3 days so not long at all, and it is a series of around 4 or 5 diffrent exercises, so if all is going well the series may be up for release but not 100% yet what you guys think of the back ground story?

Sounds realistic in some sense. Go for it. :up:

But then you can only play from one side - the Russians, and that in the two subs, which you can choose to be either Akulas or Kilos. Unless you want to try to pretend a Perry is a Hatakaze.

Well the first "days" worth of training is done and completed consists of two missions open ocean exercise where there is nutrals about and littoral combat exercise in shallow waters.

Here is whats what so far.

Start time for first mission: 0600

Russian Vessels involved in exercise including land pased aircraft:

Ustinov Slava class CG (FLAG)
Boyevoy Sovremenny class DDG
Pantaleyev Udaloy class DDG
Neustrashimy same class as name FFG
Orel Krivak III class FF
Almatyevsk Kilo Class SSK
Tigr Akula I Improved class SSN
2 x IL38 Land based maritime patrol aircraft

Japanese vessels involved in the exercise including land based aircraft:

Krishima Kongo Class DDG (FLAG)
Yamagiri Asagiri Class DD
Sendai Abukuma class FFG
Oyodo abukuma class FFG
Harushio Harushio class SSK
Natsushio Harushio class SSK
2x P3C orion Land based Maritime patrol aircraft
Sea king maritime patrol helicopter

First days exercise the low down:

0600 Start ahead of the surface group around 17nm away from them at the start, headed for frieghter so i could slip under neath the vessel and be able to get closer to enamy vessels.

0817 large explosion bearing 157 Japanese helicopter had fired on a fishing boat sinking it.

1020 Russian forces scored two hits on the Yamagiri with SS-N-12 Sandbox missiles ruling her out of the exercise and gaining a kill.

1023 Japanese Krishima shoots down both IL38 maritime patrol aircraft with SM2 missiles gaining two kills for the Japanese.

1034 Russians score three hits on Sendai scoring another kill for there side, using SS-N-12 Sandbox missiles.

1051 Orel the Light frigate is hit by four harpoons from the Krishima and a P3C scoring a kill for the Japanese.

1055 Stray harpoon hits a freighter causing damage unknown from which Japanese platform it is fired from.

1146 Slava class cruiser Ustinov is hit by about 12 harpoons fired from Krishima and two P3C's ruling her a kill.

MISSION IS LOST FOR THE RUSSIANS

1147 Despite the loss of ustinov six SS-N-22 sunburn missiles find thier mark on the Krishima

1152 Japanese ship chikuma surcomes to naval gunfire from Admiral Pantaleyev and Boyevoy

1155 Japanese P3C is shot down by Boyevoy

ENDEX IS CALLED MISSION IS OVER

Despite both fleets flag ships being ruled dead the Ustinov was first killed therefore the Japanese can claim mission complete, penalties have been given though due to the fact the Japanese damaged and sunk two nutural civilian ships within the exercise area.
Over all the Japanese fleet has won.






Littoral Combat Exercise in the Russo - Japanese exercise Part 2

Vessels remain the same throughout the 3 day exercise, Littoral Combat Exercise excludes Maritime patrol aircraft from Russia, they are only allowed ship borne aircraft to use as air support. no long range air cover is availible.

1345 Exercise starts Japanese are defending the "End line" the area to which the Russian forces must reach in order to complete the mission, the Japanese goal is to keep the Russians from making the end line using any form of tactics at thier disgression, they are also allowed the use of land based aircraft.

1402 Russian Frigate orel is hit by two harpoons from P3C aircraft.

1403 Russian Ustinov shoots down Japanese P3C.

1424 Japanese Yamagiri is hit by three SS-N-12 Sandbox missiles from Ustinov giving a kill to the Russian side.

1427 Chikuma is hit by two SS-N-22 Sunburn missiles from boyevoy gainging another kill to the Russians.

1500 Oyodo is hit by four SS-N-27 ASM missiles from Tigr giving yet another kill to the Russians.

1502 Neutrashimy Frigate is hit by six harpoons three from P3C and three from Harushio sinking her giving the Japanese side a kill.

1545 Natsushio is sunk by Russian helicopter KA-27 from unknown vessel in the fleet

1553 My vessel Tigr is sunk by Japanses SH60 Seahawk with torpedos

1600 Ustinov is sunk by eight harpoons fired from Krishima and also gunfire from Krishima and Sendai.

MISSION IS NOW LOST FOR THE RUSSIANS
ENDEX IS CALLED



overall results so far is that the Japanese lead, despite the penalties brought against them, second days exercises involve more vessles and diffrent types of fleet movements including fleet co-operation exercises.

Yeah that has its problem of being a bummer the perry can do a small stand in part for both sidesand also so can the kilo replace the Harushio but at the moment the japanese lead :|

Losing the towed array the Harushio has will be more than a bit painful ... but I forgot that you can be a P-3 and SH-60 pilot as well, so it is probably better than I first thought.

At the moment i am happy with it, however i am not no brilliant mission designer it probably needs alot of work doing to it scripting (i dont know about this much) so if anyone would like to view the three missions to see what they can do to adapt or change or make it better please just email me i have no obligations about allowing you to modify in anyway the mission just as long as the community benifits.
