5 years ago Needs discussion. Yes, it's possible, im wondering though if the caps then have to reposition to cover, which adds a lot more lines. Because it's going to then be not 1-3 caps but also three configurations. Doable, I would just like to know the logic in words.
Ok, to put it more in words: This script is intended to be the basic framework of "standard" Iranian response. So this is intended for something that they will be able to keep for 24/7 operations for some time.
At any given time, 1 CAP is either operational, or aircrafts are enroute to the CAP zone. This CAP can either be manned from Shiraz or Kerman. The two airbases alternates between who is responsible for the CAP duty. If a CAP is tasked, then 2 additional CAP's will be launched. However, as these are not alert aircrafts, they will need 60 minutes (random between 30-90 minutes) from CAP is tasked until they are airborne and enroute
Quick Reaction Alert Both Shiraz and Kerman have their QRA fighters aswell. These aircraft are on a 15 minute alert (15 minutes from they are given a task until they are airborne). For randomness (put this between 7 minutes and 25 minutes). If a CAP is tasked, the QRA flights from one of the airfields will be launched (closest one?). The other is a backup, so if the original CAP flight is shot down, or the QRA flight is shot down, the second QRA flight is launched.
Forward staging In LAR and at JIROFT there is a 50% chance that the airfield will have a 2ship forward staged. If it is forwardstaged it will have on a 15 minute alert to respond to any threats (GCI). For randomness, set time between 7 and 25 minutes.
CAP specific
- CAP's fly in a racetrack pattern, hotleg toward Blue airfields.
- For randomness, at times aircraft can fly with radar off, and turn on radar when they leave CAP orbit to intercept (when they have recived an order from AWACS or GCI)
- Normally a CAP will be flown by a 2ship. However, for randomness, make a small chance for it to be a 4ship (and if possible, have 2 ac fly to do AAR, while 2 stay at the CAP racetrack when they need to refuel)
Objectives
- The primary objective is to protect Shiraz, Kerman and Lar Air Defence zone as shown on the first picture in this thread.
- Secondary objective is to prevent any interference with Iranian AWACS or Iranian Tanker activity taking place somewhere Shiraz and Kerman Air Defence Zones. Both AWACS and Tanker's are High Value Units so something the Iranians can not afford to loose.
- Third, the effect is to prevent any Blue air activity over Iranian mainland, preventing BLUE from conducting CAS, AR, SEAD or Strike missions
Alertlevel Any blue aircrafts taking off and approaching the Iranian mainland increses the alertlevel (detected either by AWACS or EWR). This can have the following reaction: (can be a random thing, set 30 % for any of the things below to happen)
- QRA (GCI): QRA(GCI) aircraft will reduce their alerttime to 5 minutes.
- CAP: A second CAP can be launched (So 2 CAP's are manned)
- A Escortflight from Kerman can be sent to escort AWACS and/or Tanker?

Would it be possible to set up automated Enemy (RED) CAP and QRA(GCI) in the following way:
CAP CAP racetrack patterns in the yellow zones
QRA (GCI) Forward staged aircraft in the yellow airbases + Kerman and Shiraz
