Russian radio guide

[gachatar]

I tried searching but didn't come up with anything.

Does a dictionary or phrasebook exists for the Russian radio chatter that happens when you fly a Russian airplane? It should only be like a hundred pre-recorded words so it should be easy to learn in a few hours, and it would be awesome for immersion to actually understand what my wingmen/AWACS/ATC are saying without having to read the text.

Great attitute, man! I'm not native but being Polish (Slav too, so close) I had learned some Russian in school years ago, so I have some good base for understanding DCS radio messages even without subtitles - that's great for immersion when flying Russian birds. Now to the point.

 

Russian DCS Su-25T manual (from page 43):

English DCS Su-25T manual (from page 41):

Using translator you can read and compare the two manuals. You'll quickly find that you don't need to know every word - the most important are the numbers! You just need to know the general message form - what is it about and what those numbers mean.

So when I hear AWACS/GCI "сто первый, триста вторый, обнаружена цель один два один, удаление пятьдесят восемь, на тысяча пятьсот"* I know it's about bandits found:

"101 (your number), 302 (AWACS/GCI number), bandits bearing 121, for 58km (distance) at 1500m"

What I really have to rember and understand is bearing 121 for 58 @1500 :)

 

*The message is not exactly how it is in game.
