Icarus Electronics. We are also heavily funding Quantum COmputation, compactisation of Atomic fountain clocks, Atomic Gyroscopes for precision Inertial Guidance etc.Lonestar wrote:Dominion Electronics and Whatever Fin's computer company have made basic computing advances(new processing techniques, USB 4.0, etc).

Jetpacks, eh? Well, Miratia's crazy enough to try it.Czechmate wrote:New thread, new discussion.
So I was wondering; what does everyone figure the average PC-state tech level is approaching? I mean, it's nearly 2016 and it's been a messy, agitated eight years. Nearly every nation has made advances in every field, especially the ones related to blowing people up...
...in short, where is my jetpack? Where is my flying car? Where is my less insane, more utopian Nova^2 Terra?

No ground IADS, no nuclear munitions to shorten the gap between obsolete and modern technology through indiscriminate use of nuclear munitions. And a lone Type 214 isn't quite a carrier killer in my view, not right near the harbor at the very least. Mining is an issue, so Baerne's ships could've been hit by mines.
That is all. The Su-30MKI could've scored against MiG-31s, but the scores would be around 2:1 proportion or the like -the MiG-31s operating in groups of hunter killers with one AEW plane could cover 1000 km squares and detect any Su-3X planes at distances around 160-180 km - basically the Su-30MKI (presumably Batch 1.0) could do the same at 140 km, if I'm not mistaken about the Bars Mk.1 radar.
So for each MiG-31, 0.5-0.7 Su-30MKI would be lost. The F-106s are just cannon fodder - there's no ground network of radars to guide them, and even if there were one, they are not hardened, meaning the first wave of MiG-31s going in full speed would take them out and then Costa is blind. End of story.
The Type 214 submarines should be considered a serious threat, so Baerne should be patrolling the coastal waters with all the ships he has. I doubt Costa sailors are exactly top of the line, so some ships may get sunk. Not Kirovs though, that's very unlikely - torpedoes have no nuclear ordnance, they aren't supercavitating, and the Kirovs have countertorpedo munitions unlike Western ships.
