This Intel page is a collection of aircraft, air defense vehicles and terrains. This page is inclusive to both DCS and BMS. If there are differences for a specific threat between platforms, that information will be annotated on the specific threat page. While DCS does not have a comprehensive threat guide and only provides limited information, the information presented has been collected from a number of sources. These include, BMS Threat Guide, Wikipedia, DCS Encyclopedia and numerous other sources. If during a mission you realize that any of the information is off or just downright wrong, reach out to Wing Leadership and we will update it as required. Obviously, this is a simulation and these numbers can be off and sometimes missile behavior won’t be what we expect. Use this information to help with your briefings and known threats in the AO. Many thanks to TeeSquare for the countless hours that went into gathering information!
