Massive Blaze On Russian Nuclear Submarine
I have seen references to a claim that the New START treaty requires that missiles be offloaded prior to repair of the sub. I doubt that the treaty is quite as straight forward as that, but if anyone can find the specific provision(s), please holler.

The destroyer Sterett (DDG-104) was also reported to have accompanied Lincoln and Cape St George during the Hormuz transit. One escort ahead, one behind.

Redoutable class submarine
The other request entry used the name 'Le Redoutable' instead of just 'Redoutable' as is used here. Perhaps this was why it didn't turn up in your search of the forums.

File - Custom - Falkland 2010-1
I'll add some further thoughts to this thread later (its a travel day for me), but to start ... Even in the NG (New Generation) configuration, Gripen would be hard pressed to reach the Falklands (and operate there effectively) except from all but the southernmost Argentine runways.

Land-based ECM
Yes, a land based electronic warfare (EW) unit is certainly possible within the game, and I added one to the standard HCDB in the way of an ESM (passive) unit. The same can easily be accomplished in the HCDA. No reason why an active jammer (ECM) could not be added either, though its range would obviously be limited by it being on the ground rather than in the air.

Destroyer Diplomacy
A bit of fuel to throw on the hypothetical fire for scenario building and idle conversation ... Venezuelan troops would fight with Argentina over Falklands (Telegraph, 6 Feb 2012) and don't forget last year's headline ... Royal Navy's Falklands ship turned away by Brazil (Telegraph, 10 Jan 2011)

Russian Navy 30 year development plan by June
You sound disappointed. But, to answer your question, there was this one guy named Sergei Gorshkov. He had a plan, and by all accounts did pretty well with it in something less than 30 years. I guess we will have to wait another 30 years to see if this one managed to get anywhere.
