§8.1 Threat cards per system

Threat cards for the most important systems: aircraft, AAMs, SAMs, ground-forces air defence, RTV radars and electronic warfare.

Open §8.1 in the academy

Each card bundles the operationally relevant parameters of one system — role, sensors, armament/band, range and the threat assessment — modelled on the classic SA-11 threat slide. Filter by category and click a system for the full card. The library now covers seven categories:

About the cards

The cards follow the classic threat-slide format (such as the SA-11 Gadfly / 9K37 Buk-M1, with FIRE DOME radar parameters and warning profile). The values are compiled from open sources and aggregated training values — indicative, not operational. The threat colour (red/amber/blue) indicates the relative threat level. Distances are in nautical miles (NM), altitudes in feet (ft).

Link to the rest

The SAM systems form the layers from § 5.2 (layered defence); the aircraft recur in the AFADA ORBATs and the equipment overview. This way the threat library closes the loop: structure → geography → system.
