The Far East Air Group is one of the major battlegroups that can be deployed in the Climb Mount Narodnaia campaign of Wargame: Red Dragon.
Description[]
The Far East Air Group is the main source of air support for the player in the campaign, they are only available for deployment once an airfield has been captured by the player.
Composition[]
This battlegroup has 5 different squadrons of planes that can be deployed, there are no pre-deployed formations.
VVS SEAD Squadron[]
This electronic warfare squadron is used to destroy enemy radar air defense. It can only be deployed if you control an airport in Japan.
Our pilots need to be linked to conventional bombers in order to strike enemy anti-aircraft devices.
It costs 10 points to deploy and consists of:
- 3 x Su-24
VVS Fighter Squadron[]
These MiG-23MLs are particularly effective for bringing down helicopters with their R-60 missiles and their cannons.
Attack helicopters are formidable enemies. Strike them first with these aircraft.
It costs 10 points to deploy, and consists of:
- 6 x MiG-23ML
[]
The bombs carried by these MiG-29s are effective against armored vehicles. The MiGs are excellent multirole aircraft capable of bringing down other planes.
We advise you to target groups of enemy tanks first.
It costs 15 points to deploy and consists of:
- 4 x MiG-29S
VVS 1st Strike Squadron[]
The IL-102 is a prototype that we can now test in real conditions! Its 500kg bombs should wreak havoc, and its rear machine guns could take enemy pilots by surprise.
Use it against groups of lightly armored targets.
It costs 20 points to deploy, and consist of:
- 6 x Il-102
VVS 2nd Strike Squadron[]
These MiG-27Ks are the ideal planes for destroying enemy heavy tanks. They only have 2 Kh-29D missiles, but they are truly awesome.
Choose the most interesting targets and do not waste these fighters and their weapons on lightly armored vehicles.
It costs 20 points to deploy, and consists of:
- 6 x MiG-27K
Tips & Tricks[]
- All of the squadrons have their uses in the campaign, there are many Radar SAMs and SPAAGs for SEAD to target, several fighter and attack squadrons to be engaged, and hundreds of tanks and vehicles for bombers and ATGM planes to stun and destroy. Choosing which to deploy is a matter of consideration for the player
- Despite the naval moniker of the naval fighter squadron, they cannot be deployed to the aircraft carriers Minsk or Kuznetsov.
- Base the units from this group and any other air units into Gobo as much as possible, as contrary to its position, it actually gives aircraft the greatest possible reach across the battlefield, since they can reach the airfield in Kanoya through the use of the Naval sectors to the south, where they can be re-assigned once the airfield is taken.
- Note the Su-24 squadron, as it has an extra two initiative points that allow it to move one square further.
- It is unknown if it is a bug, but some squadrons cannot be deployed at Nagasaki once it is captured.
