Cap you had the Russian settings set at ''expert''. There should be a ''drunk'' or ''prisoner labor'' setting. 🤣

Ukraine is putting a lot of effort into domestic production of its own drones. And that's probably an understatement.

Funny meme came out of this. Kim Jun il (shaking Putins hand) "hey you look good today".Putin (smiling)"thanks I lost a kilo"

The kamikaze drones also could have been lauched from special forces on the water via the speedboats they use

I really love those complex missions with lots of different assets where all puzzle pieces have to fall into place. Maybe bring back the road bases for those sexy shots of Mig-29s roaring into the sky for their incredibly dangerous mission?

Curren Hill needs to mod "waving Russian holidaymaker" asset with tight speedo, vodka belly, sunburn and excess body hair ASAP. For milsim realism.

Great job! We actualy have several Su-27s left. not as much as MiG-29 but still, you might use them in some of new recreations. They carry more fuel. Also I don't think they would fly without Fox-1s anyhow to such missions..

The AI wasn't ensuring the suicide drones properly collided with the target when they made "contact", instead passing through and exploding on the ground. Future tactics should thus be to collide on the ground directly beneath the targets. That's my two cents worth.

Really well constructed mission… enjoyed this immensely!

Yo Grim Reapers!!!! How TF do y'all put out a high-quality video everyday???? It would APPEAR that you all must have no life, but then the intelligence on display says otherwise. Great channel! Thanks!!

The ash trays were on the outside wall of the cockpit. Not in the middle. Hated it when the pilot would light one up. 500+ hours in the F-111A/F

Amazing how the strike results were so close to what actually was done.

Excellent episode as usual!

Some theories say Ukraine used MALD + Stormshadow

Awesome! Thanks for the video!!!!!!

Apparently at least 3 struck the ship, sub, and maybe drydock. The sub got hit at least twice, the ship at least once, and maybe the dock at least once from the pictures I've seen. Not just 2 missiles hit

Dude, do NOT wear a 'banana hammock' even when tanned and on vacation. Gray hair and a gut? That is SCARY!

That was a great mission! 👍👍

Awesome😎. Shared with my readers as well the F-16 vs cruise missiles. video

fascinating video, really helps understand how the operation went down

And they are probably using the liberated gas platforms on the sea as forward staging posts. Maybe even as drone command central for these kind of actions

Well done GR :)

That holiday photo. "we got some great intel" made me laugh.

Thank you so much for Operation Russian Speedo. I can't promise it will be the most viewed video anymore, as the speedo isn't in the thumbnail! ❤

There's a couple of oil and/or gas rigs in the Black Sea off the NW from Crimea The drones *could* have been launched from there

"Holiday-maker..." Right. One of you GR guys couldn't pass up that super-cheap VRBO in the Crimea with the amazing view of an S-400 site. "Man, that place was LIT! Way better than Burning Man! Five stars!"

There's a reason the SU-24 is still in use...

Nice mission setup Cap - Very fun 😊

I just watched a story on this from a KZfaqr named Task & Purpose and he was talking that there were commando style raids against the S-400 site. I may have misunderstood him or confused two different stories. These commandos were trained in Britain by SAS style troops in a crash course and they were used to raise hell in Crimea. Anyways, your recreation was friggin' epic! The drone stuff was a little shaky but you did it.

3 storm shadows hit their target, 2 at the sub and one on the landing ship

Seeing those old F-111's doing stuff wouldn't be too bad, got some nostalgia for those old wings ^_^

Awesome mission. Shows exactly how mission planning works. NATO needs aircraft that are good on a lot of fronts, like fuel capacity, Radar, MAWS, Speed etc.

Great video and Cap, I listen to your drum work almost daily, my favorite version of the song. vvvvv

It's really interesting that in Tom Clancy's book Red Storm Rising which was published in 1986, there is a chapter where the USSR used Kelt drones to fool the US Navy missile defense systems before launching Kingfisher cruise missiles that heavily damage the carrier Nimitz and destroyed the troop carrier Foch. Oh the irony.

Wow! Great mission!

Great mission!

DCS needs the Aardvark ASAP!

I'm glad you are moving away from 'murder spec' air-loads, Cap. A couple of missions where they were used were so rediculous that the attack had more top end missiles then the entire nation had IRL! Also especially on QRA they would not want such heavy loaded planes lumbering up into the sky to react quickly to a threat.

Golly Good Mission Cap !!

Great mission, guys! I know there's only so much of a several-month campaign involving drones, modified S-200 ballistic missiles, HARMs, etc. etc. In a 30-minute mission. I wonder, though, if you would consider recreating the commando raid on the Tarkanhut Peninsula S-400 site in ARMA? IRL, the Ukrainian commandos were able to attack the nearby campsite and toss a satchel charge into the radar. They only left after a russian security guard in his underwear noticed this and chased them away. 😂

Off the west coast of crimea there are at least 4 Oil Platforms or some type of platform, but the Ukrainians have taken control of them. Which gives them a launching platform of some sort. Check into it and I am sure you can get some kind of Intel from those platforms they have taking control of....

that was a great mission thank you!

The chat about the mighty F=111 Ardvark (Pig is Australia, the last operator of the type 2010) peaked my interest. As a former airman in the RAAF I never worked on them, always on actual fighters, Mirage IIIO and F/A-18 A/B ++ with ASRAAM, I saw plenty of them and would love to see and fly one in DCS. Please!

Huh. That ... was actually interesting. Thank you.

The drones we’re Australian Cardboard units, The rumours we are recycling our Old Beer Cartons is a malicious rumour,

A low-tech threat needs a low-tech solution. Something like the big fences next to golf courses would probably work pretty well against cardboard drones.

watching this in the first 20 mins all i had was starwars quotes running through my head, stay on target

Ukraine said there was only one SU-24M in the Sevastopol raid firing two cruise missiles (one wing was configured to carry Storm Shadow and the other to carry SCALP), seriously Russians must be close to having claimed to have intercepted every Storm Shadow ever built by now. Which kinda makes sense that they would only risk their small number of SU-24 in limited precision strikes rather than flying large formations of them, eggs and basket.

Amazing.

I think you should re-run this, the Kh-35's were literally bouncing off that little peninsula ahead of the Pantsirs - they were porpoising up in the air which is why the Pantsir's were able to get such good shots on them.

This is why layered air defence is crucial. System like S400 are long range systems, and they should have been only one component of a layered air defence system. The sites themselves should have been protected by medium range SAMs, short range SAMs as well as land based CIWS's. Just have long range SAMs alone will leave holes that can be exploited by the enemy.

more then two got thru i seen still pictures on youtube of the sub it has a hole up top and another slightly behind and below the Conning tower slightly aft and a third down the hull.

The Drones used were probably the Australian Spyaq cardboard drones, which has already been used to attack airfields in Kursk, damaging aircrafts parking there. They are slow but neigh undetectable on radar due to their construction.

I love the fact that missile front lenses are made from Alon also called Transparent Aluminium (Star Trek 4 the Voyage Home) used to build a tank to house whales.

Actually atleast 3 missiles go trough, as the submatine was hit twice

5:19 kinda wish you'd use The SU-30SM more often😅

Guys after watching your high altitude mach 12 video, I want you to please build a selection of hypothetical aircraft and missiles that you think can function as a low orbit 'Space Force'.

very cool, Simba is always the badass . . . "people`s champ"

problem i see off the bat is i dont think russia utilizes their awacs like the west does. they simply dont have enough to keep 24/7 coverage and i think thats why the cruise missiles are so effective.

I wonder if they used the Australian corrugate drones launched from the newly reacquired gas platforms. Those things have a 90 lb warhead.

I saw somewhere plans for a home built 50lb thrust jet engine. I could see the Ukrainians using these for powerplants in drones. I remember the F-111, they were at Mountain Home AFB for a while.

I grew up with the F111 in Newcastle Australia, they were at William Town.

not convinced they shot down any given the complete lack of video and images of wreckage. Heard 4 explosions in the videos.

These are fun

More then two-three missiles got through. Latest images show 3 hit the kilo alone

More than two missiles got through from the smuggled photos.

Maybe the drones where launched from the captured gas/oil platforms.

I thought that 2 missiles hit the kilo class submarine in real life

With all these drones I'm investing heavily in barrage balloons.

Shaping the battlefield..

Pantsir hasnt been able to reliably hit himars rockets they should be set to lower skill level

GASP !

Hey @Cap, wouldnt it be an idea to have the dones filled with chaff and possibly other countermeasures? is that even possible??

@29:13 amazing f3 shot

They have a huge in country program making their own drones

Finally, you model an SU-24 with Storm Shadows!!!!! "Doh! I used my flares up!" - Cap ... 🤣🤣🤣 I believe they used the Australian pattern drones with the low reflectivity construction. The Ukrainians have reverse engineered the simplistic iranian/russian Shaheeds, so your sim was plausible.

i suppose the question is...does man packed ECM work against drones ???

Since the news came out I was wondering if y'all would try it out. Delivery much appreciated. The UA should hire GR to run sims for potential ops :)

Ukraine could have used the beaver drone cuz they been using that a lot lately for long distance. Also the Storm Shadow was used on the ships

Go Simba!!!

You should do a the F-111 strike on Libya and the maneuver kill of the EF-111 on the first night of desert storm

How is that SU35 goes over Odessa basically when chasing at the end. They would be manpaded in seconds lol

you guys could do the Libya raid from the 80's when Reagan sent the F-111's in to say hello

New intelligence pics show the sun hit by 3 and the ship by 2

Wonder why when they were attacked why the ships radars and weapons weren't activated as well. You would think that would overwhelm anything. There were plenty of ships there.

I thought that radar was very sensitive, effectively offering only replacement when damaged. I suppose it's quality relative, but fine detail and fast scan is very complicated and very expensive on material makeup and shaping. I would suppose that there is a replacement available, for a time. A system that runs 1.2 Billion , in Russia, is not likely to be a 2 day replacement often.

The reality is Ukraine only shot 4 Storm Shadows, not 10: that was just the Russians trying to make it appear their Air Defences worked somewhat - there is 0 chance Ukraine would have put up 5 Su-24s at the same time. But with at least 3 getting through, not a bad effort!

I still question max skill for Ivan. Not so much skill displayed thus far at ANY level…

Could a Tanker refuel below radar?

Fly an F-111 just to eject.

There is like 80+ factories in Ukraine making attack drones and surveillance drones

farmer with shotgun? you mean Raditz

How does the Zircon missile work?

Isn't setting off flares just giving enemy more possibility of detectong heat signatures? Just sayin

“Flot” is russian for “fleet”.

Hey just letting everyone know Grim Reapers was deleted off my KZfaq subcribers. No idea why.

Thinking why there hasn't been a serious mass attack on the fleet at anchor and maybe the fleet forms the basis of a NATO response if the Russians use a tactical nuke in Ukraine. A sub nuclear NATO response of sinking the Black Sea fleet and total destruction of harbours etc would be a very doable high gain symbolically with less risk of a nuclear response to a non nuclear attack especially cos Ukraine is non NATO.

Sub was hit two times.

Btw the darkstar at Mach 12 in knots is 8000kts btw
