October 9, 201510 yr (I think deleted my own post a few minutes ago!):Entry 11671 Su-30SM (in service 2014+) should be equipped with SS-N-26 Strobile/P-800 Oniks (Kh-61 variant) air-launched anti-ship missile (discovered a few minute ago perousing the Russia Wikipedia for updated data on missiles). Perhaps is only employed by the Russian Navy Su-30SM and not by the Russian Air Force. Entry 10665 Su-30MKI employ the very similar weapon entry 18852 Brahmos (PJ-10) in 56611 loadout, perhaps we could use the same loadout for Su-30SM (is also more realistic with only one missile, not three as stated in the Russian Wikipedia).As stated in the Russian Wikipedia, loadout as in the Su-30MKI, a maximum of three missiles (The Russian Wikipedia also says Indian Tu-142 are equipped with 6xBrahmos, but I doubt it very much: http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NAVY/weapons/current/119-tupolev-tu142m.html ).

Аналогичны по количеству ракет Су-30МКИ Su-30 cm-35 in the year 2014. The same number of missiles, the Su-30mki (automatic translator, it means "Su-35SM - 35 en el año 2014. Same number of missiles as in Su-30MKI" (three missiles)). БраМос-А: на Су-30МКИ (до 3 ракет) и Ту-142 (до 6) Brahmos-a: Su-30mki (up to 3 missiles), Tu-142 (up to 6)/missile "Brahmos".
October 9, 201510 yr I haven't seen any solid evidence of Su-30SM carrying Kh-61 just yet, but that might change now that the Su-30SM is beginning to enter service and getting some combat service. We will keep an eye on it. Tony's work on doubling the annex capacity to 4,096 entries ought to really open some up some nice possibilities for loadouts, etc.
October 11, 201510 yr In the next future Israeli Air Force will be equipped with AIM-120C7: http://www.deagel.com/Air-to-Air-Missiles/AIM-120C-AMRAAM_a001164003.aspx http://www.israeldefense.co.il/en/content/report-us-will-sell-israel-14500-jdam-kits The deal will include 14,500 KMU-556C/B Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits consisting of 10,000 for Mk-84; 500 for Mk-83; and,4,000 for Mk-82; 3,500 Mk-82 bombs; 4,500 Mk-83 bombs; 50 BLU-113 bombs; 4,100 GBU-39 Small Diameter bombs; 1,500 Mk-83 Paveway kits; 700 BLU-109 Paveway kits; 3,000 AGM-114K/R Hellfire Missiles, 250 AIM-120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles; and 500 DSU-38A/B Detector Laser Illuminated Target kits for JDAMs.
October 11, 201510 yr Related news report in 2007, probably Israel has from 2008 200xAIM-120C7 (in the same news also 500xAIM-9M and 30xRGM-84L Harpoon II: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1887213/posts2012 reference to the Israeli use of AIM-120C¿7?: http://www.aviobook.com/military/4X.FIGHTERS/4X.FIGHTERS.ENG.htmlAnd probably AIM-120C5 from 2001 (bad source, but it says copied from Federation of American Scientists, to revise the origin): http://imediata.org/lancededados/Palestina/gordon_conexao.html Lista de transferência de armas selecionadas dos EUA a Israel durante a Intifada 2 (somente entre janeiro de 2001 a março de 2002) - Preço na data de transferência das armas:[/size]24-1-01: 24 helicópteros UH-60L Black Hawk: $212 milhões 24-1-01: 60 Torpedos MK46 MOD 5: 3,4 milhões 24-1-01: 15 Helicópteros Cobra AH-1F: 5,2 milhões 6-2-01: várias ferramentas e suprimentos: 21 milhões 19-2-01: 9 Helicópteros de ataque Apache Longbow AH-64D e 1 upgrade de helicóptero 500 milhões 6-6-01: 160 motores F100-PW-229 300 milhões 7-6-01: mísseis AIM-120B AMRAAM 27 milhões 19-6-01: 50 aviões de caça de dois lugares F-161 2 bilhões 24-9-01: 48 mísseis AIM-120C-5, etc. não constantes da lista 21-12-01: 50 aviões F-16 1,3 bilhões 23-1-02: 30.000 rifles em excesso M16 rifles não listados 13-3-02: 102 pistolas M51A1 de 20mm Gatling para os F-15' 5,2 milhões
October 13, 201510 yr Entry 2263 Hoang (1166.1E) Gepard-class frigate in the HCDB has maximum speed of 21, I think is a typo (or perhaps thinking on the maximum speed with only a set of engines), it should be 28. http://militaryrussia.ru/blog/topic-438.html

October 31, 201510 yr About JLENS, as result of the "incident": Radar SS capable and range some 300 nm (now 173 nm in the HCDB): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLENS#Design.2C_operation_and_costs
October 31, 201510 yr Minor details in a minor ship: Entry 2570 Bung Tomo (Indonesia): - As per Indonesian sources, equipped with 16xMICA VLS, not Seawolf. https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korvet_kelas_Bung_Tomo (I found another Indonesian language reference some months ago, but I don't find it now). - Equipped with Exocet Block 3, not Block 2: Los Barcos de Guerra de Eugenio (Eugenio's Warships!) is a serious but of too strange name Spanish website. http://www.losbarcosdeeugenio.com/barcos/es/id/ind_357.html The comment translation "SSM: 8 x Exocet MM40 Block III una vez entren en servicio en Indonesia, los misiles originales, MM40 Block II, se dejaron fuera de la venta;" is something as "SSM: 8xExocet MM40 Block III when entering in Indonesian service, the original missiles MM40 Block II were not included in purchase".
October 31, 201510 yr Minor details in a minor ship: Entry 2570 Bung Tomo (Indonesia): - As per Indonesian sources, equipped with 16xMICA VLS, not Seawolf. https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korvet_kelas_Bung_Tomo (I found another Indonesian language reference some months ago, but I don't find it now). That was the plan (to install Mica VL) but apparently it hasn't been installed yet. So I hadn't made the change, but I suppose its just as well (or at least until we know better).
October 31, 201510 yr - Equipped with Exocet Block 3, not Block 2: Los Barcos de Guerra de Eugenio (Eugenio's Warships!) is a serious but of too strange name Spanish website. http://www.losbarcosdeeugenio.com/barcos/es/id/ind_357.html The comment translation "SSM: 8 x Exocet MM40 Block III una vez entren en servicio en Indonesia, los misiles originales, MM40 Block II, se dejaron fuera de la venta;" is something as "SSM: 8xExocet MM40 Block III when entering in Indonesian service, the original missiles MM40 Block II were not included in purchase". Other sources say the test firing this past spring was an Exocet Block II.
November 6, 201510 yr Not very transcedent, but the ship entry 3934 Yuyi Type 726 LCAC has some wicked values: Max speed = 12 knots, should be something as 60 knots. Displacement = 1460 tons, should be something as 146 tons. Damage Points = 39, should be something as 7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinsha_II-class_LCAC And after a tortuous browsing of Chinese Wikipedia (entering by the Yuzhao Type 071 LPD): https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/726%E5%9E%8B%E6%B0%94%E5%9E%AB%E7%99%BB%E9%99%86%E8%89%87 Standard displacement 150 tm. Damage points 7. Max speed 60-80 knots. Weapons and equipment: 14.5 mm heavy machine gun x 2 7.62 mm calibre light machine gun x 2 Automatic traslation of the main descriptive text: 726 type cushion landing boat, NATO code Yuyi level (Yuyi-class), is PLA Navy using of a medium cushion landing boat, by in the airlines industrial development, South shipyard production, currently does not completely mature, still in experiment, according to speculated that equipment has 2 Taiwan domestic QC-70 gas turbine, trial boat is may using has Ukraine provides of gas turbine, now in small bulk trial in the, currently can confirmed of number for 3320, and 3321, and 33,223 ship, Used to equip three of type 071 amphibious transport ships in active service.

November 28, 201510 yr Soviet/Russian/Generic mobile land-based jammers, combined with ESM/ELINT: http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-REB-Systems.html (Later I will to post some details) Details: I think all the types can be reduced in two more or less generic types, both with generic 5 knots speed, as other air-defence systems: First type: SPN series (Anti-air search, targeting and TF radars): range 81 nm. Second type: Pelena-1/Topol E (Anti-AWACS and phased array radars, system Topol E is specialized against E-2C Hawkeye, but both with the same effective range): range 135 nm.
December 14, 201510 yr Not a priority, but perhaps useful to add flavour to some scenarios, French Space Tracking ship AGI Monge, in service from November 1992 (if not, we can use AGI Dupuy de Lome): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monge_(A601) (Detailed radar types, guns and ship size: 2 DRBN-34 (Racal Decca) navigation and landing radars, 1 DRBV 15C, 2x20mm modele F2 and 2x12.7mm MG. The second Wikipedia entry for: Standard displacement=17.760 tm. Speed=17,3 knots.
December 15, 201510 yr Turkish Yildiz-class PTG, two ships in service from 1997: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C4%B1ld%C4%B1z-class_fast_attack_craft Please forget this request, both Yildiz and Ruzgar classes are integrated in Dogan-class in the DB.
