War Game Scenario: Russia vs Chosen nation

April 2 Japan commissions a Soryu class submarine previously built in 2014, the new sub is christened the senryu (thousand dragon) and increases Japan's attack submarine count to 17 ships. Japan also deploys an array of hydrophones across the Tsugaru Strait, Tsushima Strait, Kanmon Strait, and the Soya Strait to monitor Russian submarine movements. Japan also returns the russian prisoners hoping to appease the Russians and prevent the start of a war, April 3- Russia rejects Japan’s overtures of peace, but takes back the Russian prisoners. Japan receives shipment of 3 RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned surveillance aircraft that begins to patrol Northern Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk. Meanwhile Japan covertly lays mines along the Soya strait between the Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido to delay Russia’s Pacific fleet. April 4- Japan begins evacuating civilians from Hokkaido to minimize civilian casualties caused by the impending Russian invasion. Japan also begins upgrading its 2 Izumo class Helicarriers so that it can withstand the vertical takeoff of the F-35B and coincide with the delivery of the British Royal Navy's prematurely retired British Aerospace Harrier II's to Japan following a closed door meeting. April 6- Following the U.S.' Shocking news of war with India and Bangladesh, Japanese ambassador Kenichiro Sasae pleads with Congress to provide material and troop support against Russia. Congress deliberates as the President and US chiefs of staff agree that the US must somehow uphold its part of the security agreement without declaring against Russia. April 7- US congress allows Japan to use Aegis Ashore batteries and Patriot PAC-2 and PAC-3 missile batteries in Japan. The U.S. Also vows political and economic support short of declaring war against Russia. Aegis Ashore batteries likely installed and completed by May 5. Shipments of Patriot missile batteries (PAC-2) expected to be delivered and deployed by April 12. April 8- Japan deploys a naval task force of 2 Shirane Helicopter destroyers, 2 hyuga heli-carriers for anti-submarine warfare, 1 Atago aegis destroyer, 2 Kongo aegis destroyers, 2 Akizuki destroyers, 2 Hayabusa class patrol boats and 4 Asagiri destroyers to defend Hokkaido with 2 Soryu class stealth attack subs and 2 Oyashio class stealth attack subs. Despite being outnumbered the JSDF remain in high spirits because they were trained to destroy Soviet era ships, submarines and aircraft that the Russian military currently employs with ease. The JSDF hopes the arrogance of the Russian navy will lead them into a trap along the Soya strait a key entry into Japan’s northern territories. April 10- Japanese stealth attack subs patrol key invasion points preventing the Russian Navy from approaching recklessly. Following Russia’s declaration of suspending trade, Japan experiences minimal effects from Russia’s unilateral embargo of fossil fuels, as trade with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE picks up the lost fossil fuels. Meanwhile the US trade of Natural gas is increased following loss of Russian Natural gas, effectively eliminating Japan’s dependence on Russian fossil fuels. April 11- Japan deploys type 88 anti-ship missiles and Chu-SAM AA missile batteries in Hokkaido preventing Russia from attempting to enter Hokkaido and use it as a forward operating base to use against Japan. April 12- Following heavy pressure from the US and EU, Egypt denies the Russian Navy access to the Suez canal delaying the departure of the Northern and Baltic fleets by 9 months. This in turn buys time for Japan to fortify the Miyako strait with hydrophones, a southern radar network of AN/TPY-2 radars that would stand guard against Russian ballistic missile attacks, more Patriot PAC-2 and PAC-3 interceptors to provide point defense against aircraft and ballistic missiles, respectively and more truck mounted type 88 anti-ship missiles that will be produced and deployed by May 15. Japan also receives and deploys its first shipment of the PAC-2/gem air-intercept missile batteries creating an effective AA system in Northern Japan. April 15- JASDF RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned surveillance aircraft detect the Russian Pacific Fleet of 49 Warships (1 slava class cruiser, 4 Udaloy destroyers, 1 Sovremmeny destroyer, and 22 Submarines approaching the waiting 1st task force. Setting the stage between a battle between quality (the JSDF) and quantity (Russian Navy). The U.S. also deploys the 7th fleet based in Japan, following intelligence reports from the CIA of Russian Activity in North Korea aimed to bolster North Korea’s decaying military. The 7th fleet effectively blockades North Korea’s coast under the pretext of stopping North Korea’s illicit shipments of parts, used to build ballistic missiles, to Cuba. Under UN security council sanctions North Korea cannot export heavy arms or material related to nuclear weapons or missiles. The 5th carrier strike group prevents the movements of future Russian naval assets, while President Barack Obama declares that any launch of North Korean missiles on Japan will constitute an act of war against the US because of the location of US assets like Patriot missile batteries and US military bases. April 16- First major naval battle takes place between Russia and Japan in the Soya Strait. 2 Hayabusa class patrol boats attempt radio contact with the Russian fleet, but are then fired upon by an Udaloy class destroyer commencing full hostilities. The 2 Hayabusa class ships return fire sinking the Russian destroyer Admiral Tributs before retreating into the Soya minefield drawing the Russian fleet into a trap and in range of the type 88 surface to ship missiles and type 90 ship to ship missiles launched by the Taskforce. The Russian destroyer Admiral Vinogradov hits several japanese mines and sinks while the Marshal Shaposhnikov cripples. The Remaining Russian ships, surprised by the cunning of their opponents attempt to engage and cover their minesweepers, but are hit by the feared type 88 and type 90 anti-ship missiles. Which sinks the remaining Russian destroyers and cripples the Varyag, forcing the Russian fleet to retreat. Meanwhile Russian planes encounter fierce anti-air fire from Chu-SAMs as the naval battle occurs well within the Chu-SAM’s effective range of 50 km. Russian Plane’s also face the JASDF's F-15JD’s that provide effective fighter escort to ASW helicopters. JASDF F-15J’s also lead the attack in air superiority missions over the Strait of Soya targeting Russian aerial tankers and AWACS as the JASDF E-767 AWACS vectors targets from a safe distance protected by Chu-SAMS and Patriot PAC-2’s. Underwater the 23 Russian subs play a game of cat and mouse against the 4 stealth subs and lose due to the effective ASW tactics of the JMSDF and JASDF. By the End of the battle Russia loses 5 destroyers, and 17 submarines (5 Oscar IIs, 4 Akula I, and 8 Kilos) 8 small ASW ships, 4 guided missile corvettes, 11 guided missile boats, and 2 seagoing minesweepers. For a total of 30 ships and 17 submarines. The Varyag, 3 guided missile destroyers, 2 borei class subs, 3 delta III class subs, and 4 landing ships make it back to Vladivostok with extensive damage to the Varyag and the loss of its pacific air force. Meanwhile Japan lost no F-15s, F-2s while the Naval task force suffered minimal losses, with 0 submarines and 0 ships sunk. However, 2 Asagiri class destroyers and 2 hayabusa patrol boats are damaged in the battle. The 4 ships are expected to return to combat July 4 following extensive repairs. April 17- Despite it's victory over the Russian Pacific Fleet, Japan appeals to the international community to place economic sanctions on Russia for its unwarranted aggression against Japan. Japan is then supported by previous victims of Russia’s aggressions (Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, and former soviet states) swaying international opinion in favor of Japan. April 30- Russia is increasingly isolated by the international community as the economic sanctions by the US, EU, ASEAN, AU, and Arab League begin to bite. Russia is now only supported by China, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela and a defaulted Argentina. (Now before my opponent cries foul on the naval battle of April 16, I will remind my opponent that the JSDF are, despite being outnumbered, a much more technologically advanced defense force. The geography of Northern Japan favor's Japan's defenses and since the fight takes place on Japan's home turf, Logistics isn't a problem unlike the Russians, whose navy will now have to travel 9 months to reach Japan by sea. The Russian Navy has been to this day, despite Vladimir Putin's declarations to the contrary, the most neglected branch of the Russian Armed Forces. I also did not one hit kill my opponent since he still has 305 ships at his disposal halfway across the world, as well as the Russian Air Force and all of the Russian Army. I also doubt that Russia would base all of its war planes in Vladivostok, so the losses are just limited to the Russian Pacific Fleet’s naval aviation. The Russian Air force is mostly comprised of Soviet era warplanes except for the Su-34, Su-35, Tu-160 and Mig-31. Because the Russian Air force relies on Soviet tech they are no match for Japan’s F-15s especially in the first battle where Russia's pacific Air force relied on Soviet warplanes and a handful of Mig-31s to fight against the combined anti-air fire from both land, sea and air. The Naval Blockade of North Korea uses only the US 7th fleet. Therefore my response significantly limits the US presence to just blockading North Korea instead of Declaring war against Russia. Because of the lack of character space I will post my minor ally in the third round.) http://www.theguardian.com... http://www.desertsun.com... http://weaponsystems.net...
