This scenario is a fictional engagement between the Russian Federation and the DPRK (with some help from the PRC). The intent of the scenario was to model some Russian Federation weaponry vs. older Soviet weaponry.
The goal is simple, stop the firing of the DPRK missile(s) on the Russian Motherland. The player of this scenario will be faced with multiple problems and conerns combined with the singular objective of destroying the missiles.
The DPRK offers a rich scenery for scenario gameplay, and many are crafted against Western military systems. I hope this offers a different dynamic where the player is faced with facing similar systems both arrayed against and for. Also, I've taken great pains at trying to adapt the AI to respond to multiple vectors, from the decisions on what to do with the PRC SAG, to how to land recon elements in a contested airspace. I hope the AI will challenge you based on how I crafted various triggers and events.
Take your time and make sure to read all scenario event messages.
The first briefing is below, a letter from the Defensive Minister of the Russian Federation to you outlining the problem and possible solutions.

TO: COLONEL-GENERAL ALEXANDER ANTON GINADY,
FR: MINISTER OF DEFENSE SERGEI SHOYGU
SUBJ: OPERATION RUBY SLIPPER (РУБИНОВЫЙ БАШМАЧОК)
THE DAYS OF THE KIM REGIME ARE DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
AS OF MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT, WE RECEIVED VERY CREDIBLE INTELLIGENCE THAT KIM JONG-UN IS PREPARING HIS NUCLEAR WEAPONS. OUR SUPPORT FOR THE WORKERS' PARTY OF KOREA (WPK) FORCES THREATENING PYONGYANG IN NORTH KOREA'S CIVIL WAR, HAS CHANGED THE POWER DYNAMIC SIGNIFICANTLY, AND AS SUCH, WE FEEL WE MUST ACT TO MAINTAIN BOTH THE WPK'S INITIATIVE AND THE SAFETY OF OUR ARMED FORCES. KIM JONG-UN IS INDISCRIMINATELY THREATENING ANY NATION THAT IS AGAINST HIM, AND WITH OUR PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE WPK, HIS EDICT PUTS OUR FAR EAST NAVAL AND AIR FORCE FACILITIES, IN THE DPRK'S NUCLEAR CROSS HAIRS.
OUR SO CALLED FRIENDS IN BEIJING, WHO FEEL IT'S BEST TO CONTINUE SUPPORT FOR THIS WORTHLESS, VILE REGIME, ARE, AS OF THIS MOMENT, SENDING IN VITAL SUPPLIES TO FURTHER KIM'S AIM AND POWER.
A PRC SURFACE ACTION GROUP (SAG) IS STEAMING NORTH TO PUAM-DONG NAVAL BASE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE. OUR INTELLIGENCE NETWORK IN CHINA'S CENTRAL COMMITTEE TELL US IT'S ACTUALLY MISSILE PARTS, SPECIFICALLY, GYROS, TIMING AND AIMING DEVICES FOR THE NODONG SERIES OF MISSILES, WHICH FURTHER COMPLICATES MATTERS. HOWEVER, THE SAG ALSO INCLUDES VITAL FOOD, SMALL ARMS, AND SOME HEAVY WEAPONRY TO FURTHER THE CAUSE OF KIM JONG-UN AND HIS CRONIES, WHICH, BY OUR ESTIMATE, IS LOSING GROUND AND, WE HOPE, THIS CIVIL WAR.
AS YOU ARE AWARE FROM LAST NIGHT'S RT BROADCAST, PRESIDENT VADIM HAS MADE HIS SUPPORT FOR THE WPK PUBLIC, BOTH MATERIALLY AND POLITICALLY. THIS MEANS THE PRESIDENT HAS AUTHORIZED DIRECT RUSSIAN KINETIC ACTION IN THIS CONFLICT.
KIM'S FORCES STILL HOLD MOST OF THE EASTERN NAVAL AND AIR BASES, WHICH ARE PROVIDING ACTIVE COVER FOR THE INCOMING PRC SAG AND PORT FACILITIES. YOU WILL BE FACED WITH SEVERAL CHOICES, NONE OF THEM GOOD, HOWEVER, WE FEEL IT'S BEST TO GIVE YOU COMMAND DISCRETION. AND IF THE PRC WANTS WAR, WE WILL DEFEND OUR INTERESTS ACCORDINGLY, BUT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, AVOID CONFLICT WITH THE PRC.
NORTH KOREA HAS ISSUED A GENERAL WARNING TO ALL POWERS, IN THAT, ANY VIOLATION OF THEIR AIRSPACE WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE HOSTILE ACTION.
SATELLITE INTEL SHOWS ONE MISSILE ON ONE PAD, WAITING TO LAUNCH, IF WE CAN DESTROY IT BEFORE HE PROVIDES ANY LAUNCH ORDERS, OR BEFORE IT'S PREPARATORY PERIOD, WE MAY SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES. HOWEVER, WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE MISSILE PARTS TRUCK CONVOY FROM PUAM-DONG WILL BE CARRYING PARTS TO SUPPLY YET ANOTHER MISSILE OR MISSILES.
WE HAVE HUMINT INTELLIGENCE THAT ONCE THE PRC FLEET ARRIVES IN PUAM-DONG, THAT A DPRK TRUCK CONVOY WILL DEPART AND ARRIVE AT THE TONGHAE MISSILE COMPLEX SHORTLY THEREAFTER. WE KNOW THE NODONG MISSILE SYSTEM NEEDS AT LEAST FOUR (4) HOURS OF PREP BEFORE THE ONE STANDING MISSILE CAN LAUNCH, AND EIGHT (8) HOURS PREP FOR THE ARRIVING UNPREPARED COMPONENTS TO BOTH STAND AND LAUNCH THEIR MISSILE OR MISSILES.
STRIKE, SLOW OR STOP EITHER THE CONVOY BEFORE IT ARRIVES AND TAKE DOWN THE MISSILE ON THE ONE KNOWN PAD, AS THE DPRK HAS NO SILOS WE ARE AWARE OF. HOWEVER, THIS PAD MUST BE POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED BEFORE ANY ACTION ON YOUR PART, OTHERWISE, WE ARE WORRIED THE KIM CLAN WILL LAUNCH WHAT THEY HAVE ON THE PAD AS SOON AS ANY THREATENING FORCES GET WITHIN ITS PROXIMITY. IN OTHER WORDS, NO MASS KALIBER MISSILE ATTACKS, THIS WILL MOST DEFINITELY RESULT IN A MISSILE LAUNCH IF YOU FAIL TO HIT THE PAD WITH THE READY MISSILE.
WE HAVE MOVED NUMEROUS ASSETS TO KOMSOMOLSKNA AND MONGOKHTO AIRBASES, INCLUDING BRAND NEW SU-34'S AS WELL AS MODERNIZED SU-24'S FROM THE SUKHOI PLANT AT KOMSOMOLSKNA. THESE A/C FROM KOMSOMOLSKNA WILL FORM THE BULK OF YOUR TACTICAL STRIKE A/C. THE TU-22'S ARE AN INSURANCE POLICY FOR THIS MISSION.
ALL FAR-EAST NAVAL TU-22M3 BACKFIRE BOMBERS ARE GOING TO BE FLYING FROM MONGOKHTO AB, AND ARE PREP'ED FOR ONE STRIKE, USING THE NEW AS-4D MODEL MISSILE. YOU HAVE A PARTIAL SQUADRON OF SU-30'S AND A FULL STRENGTH NAVAL SQUADRON OF SU-33'S AT TSENTRANLNAYA UGLOVAYA AB. THESE STRIKE AND TOP COVER A/C HAVE BEEN ACCOMPANIED BY JAMMING AND ELINT ASSETS ALSO BASED AT TSENTRANLNAYA UGLOVAYA.
THE ARMY HIGH COMMAND HAS MOVED A KRASUHA-4 JAMMING COMPANY TO THE SOUTHERNMOST POINT OF OUR TERRITORY TO HELP ASSIST IN ANY FURTHER DEGRADATION OF THE DPRK'S EW COVERAGE. THIS JAMMING COMPANY HAS SETUP A FORWARD OPERATING BASE WITH ATTACK AND JAMMING HELICOPTERS. A SPETSNAZ RECON FORCE AT THE FARP IS BEING PREPARED TO LAND NEAR TONGHAE TO ASSIST IN FINDING AND TARGETING THE MISSILES WITH LASER DESIGNATORS.
ADDITIONALLY, OUR NEWEST DIESEL-ELECTRIC LADA-CLASS SUBMARINE, SANKT PETERSBURG AND AN IMPROVED KILO, KRASNODAR, ARE IN POSITION TO STRIKE TONGHAE WITH KALIBER MISSILES.
I MUST STRESS THIS POINT AGAIN, HALT BOTH THE PURPORTED MISSILE PARTS TRUCK CONVOY TO STOP ANY LATER MISSILE PREPARATIONS FOLLOWING THE DOCKING OF THE PRC SAG GROUP, AS WELL AS POSITIVELY IDENTIFYING THE LAUNCH PAD WITH THE ONE KNOWN NODONG MISSILE, AND DESTROYING IT.
AND LASTLY, THE PRC IS ACTIVELY ASSISTING THE DPRK AND WE CANNOT TRUST THAT THEY WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL IN THIS EFFORT. IF CHINA ATTACKS OR RETALIATES RU A/C, YOU ARE ORDERED TO DEFEND AND STRIKE BACK AT ANY PRC AGGRESSION, BUT WE HOPE IT NEVER COMES TO THAT.
IF YOU CAN STOP THE MISSILE PARTS TRUCK CONVOY, DESTROY THE LONE MISSILE PAD, AND AVOID WAR WITH THE PRC, THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT WILL PIN THE HERO OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON YOUR CHEST.
