"Foxhound Inbound", a military grade simulation of the incursions of 3x Russian MIG-31 into Estonian Airspace on September 19th, 2025.

Day-4 of #CUE2025 was a sneak peak into the horizon: Overhauled ground ops, "fires" mission, inter-platform comms and much more.
Also sessions on mechanics overrides and massive-scale analysis, plus a fantastic guest presentation by FFI on modelling of undersea infra protection with #CommandPE.
