MSI Project 1258 ("Yevgenya") class http://www.harpoondatabases.com/Encyclopedia/Entry1591.aspx Why include more minesweepers? Because they were also used as patrol boats by lots of little countries. (So they have some utility to scenario design.)

Are these two variants of the F-15E different enough from the ones already in the database that new platforms should be added? F-15S "The F-15S is a variant of the F-15E supplied to the Royal Saudi Air Force in the mid-to-late 1990s....The F-15S is almost identical to the USAF F-15E and the only major difference in the AN/APG-70 radar performance is the synthetic aperture mode." --Wikipedia F-15SG The F-15SG (formerly the F-15T) is a variant of the F-15E, currently ordered by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)....The F-15SG is similar in configuration to the F-15K sold to South Korea, but differs in the addition of the APG-63(V)3 active electroni…
