In Preparation for WWIII so to speak, and just because I did not want my work to be completley wasted.
Medium Tank: T-80UM - The T-80U is the final upgrade of the original T-80 tank that entered service in 1976. It has one of the highest armor to volume ratios in the world and is still considered a competetive battle tank. It has performed exceptionally well in large combat situations while its lack of turret mobility sometimes undermined its effectivness in low intensity combat operations.
Heavy Tank: T-90M - The newest main battle tank of the Russian Federation, the T-90 represents a complete overhaul of the greatly sucessful T-72 design. This small and mobile tank carrier both a smoothbore gun and a number of missiles that can be used against both ground and air targets. It is protected by aromor plating as well as nuclear, biological, and chemical protection equipment.
Artillery: BM-30 Smerch - The system is designed to defeat manpower, armored and soft-skinned materiel in concentration areas, artillery batteries, command posts and ammunition depots. It is widely regarded as the best MLRS in the world.
Carrier: Admiral Kuznetsov Class - The heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser is designed to support and defend strategic missile-carrying submarines, surface ships, and maritime missile-carrying aircraft of the Russian fleet. Fixed-wing aircraft on Admiral Kuznetsovs are essentially constrained to air superiority operations.
Cruiser: Kirov Class - Kirov's are the largest and most powerful vessels in Russia's surface fleet. The ship has an impressive armament of missiles and guns, fielding 20 SS-N-19 missiles that can be used against ships or ground targets as well as the most sophisticated anti-air defense of any ship in the world.
Destroyer: Sovremenny Class - This is a class of large multi-purpose missile destroyers. Their armament consists of 8 SS-N-22 Sunburn anti-ship missiles, launchers for SA-N-7 Gadfly anti-air missiles and two AK-130 twin-barreled 130 mm automatic naval guns which can fire laser-guided shells. Their primary mission is to attack surface ships, although they posess weapons capable of attacking submarines.
Frigate: Neustrashimy Class - The main support vessels of the Russian fleet, they have a small but versatile armoment including missiles, guns, and torpedoes. They are particularly useful in submarine-hunting operations and often accompany large ships designed for anti-surface warfare.
Patrol Boat: Mirage Class - A small vessel used by the Russian coast guard to patrol Russia's extensive naval borders. They are equipped with two large caliber guns and are most useful against pirates or smugglers in Russia's far east.
Missile Submarine: Typhoon Class - The largest submarine ever built Typhoon submarines are among the quietest sea vessels in operation, being quieter and yet more manoeuvrable than their predecessors. Their multiple pressure hull system allows them to stay afloat and survive even if there is a hull breach from a torpedo attack. Each submarine is armed with 20 SS-N-20 nuclear missiles, each with 10 MIRV nuclear warheads. The submarines feature a number of anti-ship and anti-submarine torpedoes and can routinley stay submerged for up to 180 days.
Attack Submarine: Akula II Class - The most resent design of a Russian nuclear attack submarine. Akula incorporates a double hull system that increases the strength reserve and is able to dive deeper than any other modern SSN. All Akulas are armed with four 533 mm torpedo tubes which can use Type 53 torpedoes or the SS-N-15 Starfish missile, and four 650 mm torpedo tubes which can use Type 65 torpedoes or the SS-N-16 Stallion missile.
Fighter: Su-35 - A very manuverable long-range multi-purpose fighter airplace that entered service in Russia in mid-1990's. It's long range and unprecedented manuverability made it the first Russian plane to be easily on par with other western fighter programs.
Interceptor: MiG-35 - This is the upgraded version of the MiG-29 that has recently entered service in Russia. It is by far the fastest aircraft in service in Russia and carries a formidable array of weapons making it ideal for interception missions.
Bomber: Tu-160 - Is a supersonic heavy bomber that is significantly larger and faster than all foreign counterparts. It is incredibly manuverable for its size, and carries a huge amount of conventional bombs, as well as either 6 cruise missiles or 12 short-range nuclear missiles.
Helicopter: Ka-50 - The last generation of small Russian attack helicopters, the Ka-50 provides a small, reliable attack helicopter that is able to provide as much firepower as any of its counterparts. It has generally weaker avionics than its western counterparts but is accepted to be more reliable and easier to operate.
ICBM: Topol-M - The new generation of Russian ICBM's present a great upgrade from the old Soviet-designed missiles. There is a mobile single-warhead variant and a silo-based MIRV version. The Russian Ministry of Defence claims that Topol-M is capable of penetrating any missile shield currently in existance.
Cruise Missile: Kh-55SM - Is a sub-sonic long-range cruise missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead. It is designed to be launched either from aircraft or from a submarine and is considered to be very acurate, but is slower than most modern cruise missiles.
Tactical Missile: Scud-D - This missle can deliver a conventional high-explosive warhead. It is capable of striking a target within 50m at a distance of 700 km, and is one of the most accurate missiles in the world.

In respone to developemnts, Brazil will lift its full embargo from Columbia and reinstate diplomatic contact as soon as the Venezualans withdraw. Should the Columbians thus choose to reuinite with Venezuala, such actions will be taken again and diplomatic representation will be pulled out once more. Once it appears that Chavez can conduct himself within the limits of the law and common dignity, Brazil may choose to restore relations. But until that time, the full embargo and diplomatic messures shall remain intact.

Ah excellent, so that's what the national unit descriptions meant. Thank you for the nice compilation, Stormbringer. (edit: no sarcasm here)

On a similar note I would like to make all of my 100 patrol boats Charles de Gaulle aircraft carriers

Australia would like to reinforce and echo Russian calls for restraint, though we support the right of the Taiwanese people to choose their own government, and their right to sovereignty as a nation-state of their own. However, Australia will remain neutral in this conflict, as we have our own crisis on our hands in West Papua. A crisis which is being completely ignored, despite the fact that the problems are virtually the same, if on a smaller scale.

The crisis would only have been the same if China had recognised Taiwans unique status and granted them full internal government, and then Taiwan had invaded Guangdong.

West Papua disputes these facts. Even the Indonesian Supreme Court called the seperation of the so called province of West Irian from Papua to be illegal, however as it had already taken place they let it continue. We do not hold the same view. If something is illegal, that something will always remain illegal.

Sure, however please note that you have just mobilised due to the increased tensions in your area.

I asked Sheep what I should do about the tanks since Russia does not use medium/heavy tanks and instead uses what are called MBTs, main battle tanks. Sheep said that I should list the older version as the medium tanks and the newer as the heavy tanks, even if in reality the newer is a smaller, more mobile version.
In reality, I don't think there is any country that has used anything but MBTs since around the 60's, so I am not sure why we have two seperate tank units, but whatever.

We should have stuff like APC's or IFV's instead of medium tanks

I know, I know. I just couldn't resist pointing out the ironic result of such categorization, which was embodied in your heavy tank definition of small and mobile. My intention wasn't making fun of you or anything of that nature.
Actually it also seems (from the stats) that Sheep uses Frigate>Cruiser>Destroyer>Patrol, not Cruiser>Destroyer>Frigate>Patrol. So keep that in mind when you plan naval warfare.
By the way, what is the difference between fighter and interceptor in here? Doesn't a plane become either interceptor or ground attack fighter depending on what type of missiles it carries? Or is interceptor smaller (example: F16) and fighter bigger air superiority fighter (example: F15, F22)?
