Israeli Defense Force: Fight for Independence is a Total Conversion modification for the PC game Battlefield 2 (A.K.A. BF2). What we aim to achieve with this mod is to immerse the player into the historic wars involving Israel, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, which are the 6-Day War, the War of Attrition, and the Yom Kippur War. The player will be able to play as a common soldier, crewmember, or pilot in these wars. The mod will feature historically accurate equipment such as the famous Russian AK-47, the fearsome SO-4050 bomber, the menacing IS3 and M48 tanks, and much, much more. Also, the maps will recreate actual battles that happened in these wars, to complete a historically-accurate and immersive modification. IDF:FFI is also a member of the acclaimed cooperative gaming studio Black Sand Studios.
The 2K12 "Kub" (NATO reporting name: SA-6 "Gainful") mobile surface-to-air missile system is a Soviet low to medium-level air defense system designed to protect ground forces from air attack. It was one of the most effect early mobile SAM systems and was combat proven in the Yom Kippur war, earning the nickname "three fingers of death". The system is able to acquire and begin tracking targets using the 1S91 Radar (NATO: "Straight Flush" radar) which is mounted on the same mobile chassis as the missile system.
The 2K12 surprised the Israelis in the 1973 Yom Kippur War on both the Sinai and Golan fronts. They were used to having air superiority over the battlefield. The highly mobile 2K12 took a heavy toll on the slower A-4 Skyhawk and even the F-4 Phantom, forming a protective umbrella until they could be removed. The radar warning receivers on the Israeli aircraft did not alert the pilot to the fact that he was being illuminated by the radar. Once the RWRs were reprogrammed and tactics changed, the 2K12 was no longer such a grave threat, but still caused heavy losses to Israeli aircraft.The superior low altitude performance of the weapon, and its new CW semi-active missile seeker resulted in a much higher success rate compared to the earlier SA-2 and SA-3 systems. The 2K12 / SA-6 proved most effective of the three weapons, but later its performance declined as captured examples resulted in effective counter-measures being developed.
ohhhh D:
Yes very deadly. Initially the Israeli's had no defense against this.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)=b, Now that was very surprising.....
Whoa! Looking like it will be devastating!
Well, it's time to swat some flies no more close air support for Israeli ground troops.
Yeah except this think will be pretty thin skinned, easy to destroy. And the Israeli's might have some tricks up their sleeve.
Can't wait for the next release ♥
any body have an idea when it could be ?
I really Thought it was a finger though. ********.....
So which war is this based off because some of these weapon systems didn't exist in 1947.
Our next release will be about the 1973 Yom Kippur war. Many new and deadly weapons were used in this war.
