Those SA-22s looks pretty sweet! Do you guys plan on doing other Russian Sam systems like the SA-10, SA-11, SA-12 or SA-15? I know that you guys have a ton on your plate already, but i was just curious

yeah pook's been cooking up a whole mess of SAM's in his lab... this is why i'm converting in the F15 with AGM130 and Tornado with ALARMs as soon as humanly possible. we got ourselves an arms race...

here are some of the SAM/AAA items he has made that we may be porting through to rangemaster soon:

S60 57mm AAA

S60 on a truck

Twin S68 on ZSU57-2 SPAAG (Sparka)

improved ZSU-23-4 Shilka

BRDM2-ASRAD

complete:

- test configs done for 9 variants of C and E models (E has much more weaponry/ extra stations)
