And I agree that we don't need raptors to defend against a B-56 swarm, hence why I was looking for cheaper interceptors. Though the F-15 ACTIVE is probably still too expensive for my tastes, but I'll try to haggle it down with Shroom

In the end, I may end up buying some capable interceptors and a swarm of Mig-31s with a stockpile of WARPAC munitions.
And, of course, integration of all these IADS systems will be a bitch and take years, but the result will be a more robust defence.
Coyote: Communications is pretty much what we'd be doing here. We'll start by altering procedures, and then start doing a lot of systems integration, culminating in the establishment of a Continental Air Defence Command able to handle an air battle using all assets throughout the Old Continent.
The whole thing is a preparation for the coming of nuclear warfare, anyway, since the losses our current air forces can inflict upon Shepistani bombers are probably high enough to deter him at this point. But with nukes, even one bomber that gets through is a horrible disaster.
