Hi Reflected, I just wanted put the bug in your ear for a future mission project (probably 2027/8). With the coming of the FF F-15C, Mig-29A, and C-130, I think that you are the man for the job to re-create the Eagle/Fulcrum engagement from the movie "Air Force One". I am a huge fan of your missions and campaigns. I think you would bring the right skills, dedication, and flair to a project like this.

The Russian Federation debuted its 5th generation single engine fighter just outside of Moscow. The fighter has been dubbed "Checkmate" and was showcased in a Sukhoi pavilion. The UAC (United Aircraft Corporation) presented the airframe to the press and commented the Checkmate to be, "low visibility and high flight performance." aircraft and incorporating "a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, the largest thrust-to-weight ratio, shortened takeoff and landing, more than seven tons of combat load, which is an absolute record for aircraft of this class." Russia intends to source Checkmate to eastern nations such as India and Vietnam for starters. Of course this is a few years down the road as it's first flight is expected in 2023 and deliveries in 2026. The intention of this aircraft is to be a competitive option for those who opted out of the JSF Program for whatever reason. At least that is how it appears to me. I received this information from CNN and the source link will be posted below. Feel free to discuss Checkmate and Russia's ambitions with this new aircraft. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/20/europe/russia-checkmate-fighter-jet-unveiling-intl/index.html

The 588th Fighter Aviation Regiment (588-Й Истребительный Авиационный Полк), of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS RUSSIA - BKC РОССИИ), is a one to one virtual recreation of a modern day Russian air unit. We are a casual combat flight simulation community, designed primarily for DCS players who specialize in 4th generation Soviet/Russian fighters. The 588th is a socialist organization, and we aim to provide a safe space for leftist and anti-fascist DCS pilots, as well as anyone else who wishes to be part of the community. Anyone may join and hang out, even if they don't play DCS. We welcome friends, family, aviation enthusiasts, players from other sims or games, etc. The following are the squadrons currently operating under the 588th: _________________________________ 127th Fighter Squadron “Кулик (Sandpipers)” - Su-27 Flanker B Squadron callsign: Timber . 129th Fighter Squadron “Ночные Ведьмы (Night Witches)” - MiG-29S Fulcrum C Squadron callsign: Bruha . 133rd Fighter Squadron "Дорожный бегун (Roadrunners)" - Su-30SM Flanker C by CODENAME Squadron callsign: Antler Our ED forum can be found under the squadrons tab, or by clicking the following link: https://forum.dcs.world/clubs/671-588th-fighter-aviation-regiment/ We spend most of our time on our Discord, which is where you can find out more about the Regiment, download liveries, etc. Join our Discord community here: https://discord.gg/4SKuhwQs42 We look forward to seeing you up there!

I would like to suggest the A-20G for a future module. There are several reasons. Firstly it's a single pilot cockpit plus an AI (or multi-crew human) dorsal turret gunner (2 x 50 caliber), which makes for easy crew requirements. The AI could also assist the pilot by calling out fighter threats. The American style radio system is designed for easy single pilot operation, simplifying DCS integration. The nose armament features 4 x 20 mm cannons and 2 x 50 caliber machine guns in the nose for awesome strafing performance. Additional armament can be 12 ATG rockets or up to 4000 pounds of bombs. The 240 Knot cruise speed and 820 NM range are perfect for many mission types. The systems are relatively simple. The aircraft served for no less than 7 nations in every theater of the world, making it usable in the existing Pacific, European, Middle East, and Asian Maps. The aircraft is ideally suited to anti-shipping, low level strafing/rocket attack, and medium level bombing missions. I believe that this aircraft would be enjoyable for a good variety of ground attack missions and would make maximum use of already existing ED maps and resources. Actual pilot operating handbooks and other manuals are easy to source and simple to read. Finally there is an existing airworthy A-20G flying in the united states that could serve as a subject for the project.
