Russian doctrine

[Ian_cf-18]

Gentlemen,

 

First of all: Happy holidays to all! I hope everyone is having the greatest of time surrounded by their loved ones...

 

And now to my question: I am building many missions lately, and I especially like to build a few missions at the beginning of a campaign where the war is not declared yet, but both sides are ramping up, tension mounting, etc...(à la Janes F-15)

 

My question is, during these first stages, what is the Russian doctrine when it comes to CAP, SAM sites up, etc... in other words, before the hostilities have started, what should I put in the mission in terms of fighters in the air, mobile SAMs around airbases. Also, what types of unit and in what quantity (a pair of Floggers as CAP? or would it already be their first rate fighters, or long range interceptors)?

 

Also, if you know on the NATO side, it would be appreciated also.

 

Thanks!
