Frankdatank1218 39 Posted February 26, 2014 It is made clear that Iran is the head of CSAT, and that North African nations, Asian nations (China definitely, the Katiba is described in-game as Chinese made), and some South American nations are part of the partnership. But is Russia? It's not explicitly stated that it is, but the fact that some CSAT helmets are experimental Russian ones and that their T100 Varsuk MBT (T95 Black Eagle in real life), PO 30 Orca Scout/light transport helicopter (KA 60 Kasatka in real life), and in some ways their MI 48 Kajman attack helicopter (Very similar to the real life MI 28 with some differences, mainly the tail) are Russian vehicles. So is Russia in the CSAT? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted February 27, 2014 In my honest Opinion, before the whole Arma Verse thing took place, and they changed all the names of existing things... I do believe that. China + Russia + Iran = CSAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theevancat 277 Posted February 27, 2014 The Kasatka and whatnot might be reverse-engineered or purchased models. Not necessarily an indication of Russia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largos. 10 Posted February 28, 2014 CSAT is likely to be a close replication of the SCO which is basically the opposite of NATO. CSAT also gives Iran a much stronger and more powerful role because it is currently only an observer. While Russia is a leasing group in this alliance our relations seem to be improving so their participation in this war is a good question that is difficult to speculate. Hopefully all this leads to a pacific DLC with some really impressive units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roshnak 41 Posted February 28, 2014 Also, Russia exports tons of military hardware to the nations that would be involved in CSAT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squirrel0311 16 Posted February 28, 2014 Also, Russia exports tons of military hardware to the nations that would be involved in CSAT. Yep! That's what I was going to say. Russia doesn't really mind who they sell to...Just because someone buys their guns doesn't mean they are friends. It's just business... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
