no problem! McDonalds is a flexible company, we’re willing to conform with local tastes.. if cow isn’t the “in” thing with the Americans, then we’ll switch to Bison burgers.

India for example, required us to switch to lamb burgers.

air defence :

– lots of manpads

installations :

– 3 main airbases

1. fighter in the central area near the capital + airlift
2. Navy base (near the coast) QRA area for fighter detachement
3. helo and training training base

all bases not hardend

apart from that I would built many road strips
dispersed ammunition storages that can be used by more then one road strip

All communications done with triple redundant land communication

radars. Many mobile system with semi prepared positions. (Communications available) At least 2 radars per sector. One operating one moving.

Local airdefence centers are trained to operate alone without connection to higher headquarters.

-> spent the reast on training, training and training.

SH-60 Seahawk, why did you choose the Mirage2k5? just wonderng.
