The Kaliningrad array is a potent reminder that electronic warfare is not a futuristic concept, but a present-day reality.

Don't just observe the future of warfare… command it! Pre-order Battlegroup Clash: Baltics today www.sapperstudio.com/battlegr (4/4)

This real-world escalation of electronic warfare (EW) capabilities underscores why it is a critical feature of Battlegroup Clash: Baltics (3/4)

Satellite imagery has revealed the construction of what may be one of the largest electronic surveillance installations built since the Cold War (2/4)

How worried should we be about Russia's escalating electronic warfare (EW) threat on NATO's doorstep? 🧵 (1/4)

Will you dominate the skies and secure your victory? Take command of the aerial battlefield! Pre-order Battlegroup Clash: Baltics today www.sapperstudio.com/battlegr and prepare to deploy your drones against your opponents in the deadly dance of modern warfare! (15/15)

From scouting enemy positions to delivering precision strikes, mastering your drone assets is crucial to success in Battlegroup Clash: Baltics (14/15)

FPVs also possess a unique targeting capability: the Russian FPV SA, for instance, can specifically target the NATO 1-Eng SECT (Armoured Engineering Mine Clearing Vehicle) even when it's embedded within a larger stack (such specialised vehicles are easy for video-enabled drones to spot) (13/15)

While this uses an additional Fire Mission, it importantly does not generate any extra ETX, ensuring rapid, disruptive impact (12/15)

For decisive strikes, turn to your FPV drones: These nimble platforms can execute a devastating "Double-Tap Strike," allowing you to fire twice in immediate succession at the same target within a single activation (11/15)

Furthermore, this tactical advantage isn't just about spotting targets; when Mortar or Artillery Indirect Fire benefits from UAS LoS, the opposing side draws fewer Electronic Transmission (ETX) markers, giving you a stealthier edge in the invisible war (10/15)

A UAS enjoys an unparalleled vantage point, seeing everything within the four Grid Squares directly adjacent to its position, nothing is hidden or hindered (9/15)

UAS drones are your eyes in the sky: As ISTAR Assets, they provide crucial Line of Sight (LoS) for your Indirect Fire assets like Mortars and Artillery (8/15)

The game features two drone types:
1. Unmanned Aerial Support (UAS) drones for Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR)
2. First-Person View (FPV) drones for offensive operations
(7/15)

In Battlegroup Clash: Baltics, the critical reality of modern drone warfare is front and centre, demanding that players master aerial reconnaissance and precision strike capabilities to achieve victory (6/15)

However, as recent battlefield footage shows, these materials are not always effective, especially against drone pilots who know how to look for contrast inversion (negative contrast) (5/15)

Anti-drone ponchos, made with specialised materials, are designed to reduce a person's thermal signature. This makes them less visible to thermal cameras on drones by blocking or dispersing emitted body heat. (4/15)

Yet, in a twist of modern warfare, the same ponchos that are intended to hide the soldiers instead make them stand out by appearing as unnaturally cold, bright black spots against a warmer environment! (3/15)

Imagine, for a moment, the cutting edge of military deception: Russian troops equipped with thermal insulating anti-drone ponchos, designed to render them invisible to advanced Ukrainian thermal FPV drones (2/15)

Why are Russians in thermal insulating ponchos still failing to hide from Ukrainian FPV drones? 🧵 (1/15)

Thank you - without pre-orders the game wouldn't have been made, so I appreciate your support.
