Just imagine russia miraculously amassing lots of forces on the Baltics’ border, just like before the Ukraine invasion. More and more, building field hospitals, bringing in their barrier troops and mobile crematoria.
NATO would immediatly start amassing their own troops. The baltics would be full of NATO soldiers within 3 days. Everywhere you look you see troops from about 27 countries. The sky is swarming with AWACS, tankers, fighters flying patrols, ECR and RECCE planes gathering intel and data, bombers patrolling as a show off force.
And then, at 2:35 in the night, just as the three-letter-agencies predicted, russian troops start moving towards the border. The first border checkpoint is crossed, and immediatly, hell starts raining down on the russian troops. Before they can even see a western tank, the NATO air forces start a barrage of missiles, bombs, cruise missiles. Every road into the baltics is blocked by columns and columns of destroyed russian tanks and IFVs.
russian air bases are being carpet bombed, their planes start falling out of the sky. Cruise missiles and bombs hit Moscow.
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t. By subtracting where it is from where it isn’t, or where it isn’t from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn’t, and arriving at a position where it wasn’t, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn’t, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn’t. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn’t, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn’t. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn’t, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn’t, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn’t be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
Eh, Moskva was stupidly old and pushing near 50 years. In a navy that actually takes care of their ships, thats old. In the Russian navy its in so much disrepair its bordering on ancient.
Naval history, particularly since ironclads and steel armor became a thing, ships of smaller classes eclipse those of larger ones of previous generation. HMS Dreadnought was 18000 tonnes when she was in service in the 1900s, 50 years later, USS Des Moines was an 18000 tonnes Heavy Cruiser, comparable to the infamous battleship.
German Frigates being comparable to Russian Reef starters isn’t that big of a surprise.
