What if IRAN will be defeated before Arma 3 will be released?

Iran has developed basic nuclear weapons = no one's actually going to attack, look at the cold war for a case study....

Hmm, that could be an authentic scenario, if they can get their hands on decent payload delivery systems - China could source the ICBMs, and then the gradual build-up for 15-20 years to 2030. Over-stretching, but believable.

Pfft. You never know.

"During the Cold War, there were contingency plans in case the Soviet Union attempted to roll their tanks across Europe. The goal would be to stop them at all costs, and this would require obliterating key highways, tunnels, airfields, and bridges. While conventional explosives might do the job, it would take hours to achieve, and only slow the Soviet advance by days at best, when weeks were needed. Project GREENLIGHT sought to address this problem.

The fastest, most effective, most surreptitious way to target enemy infrastructure would be to parachute bomb-toting Special Forces soldiers to their objectives. But there was a catch. In his autobiography, Sergeant Major Joe Garner described his work with the project. There was a heavy rucksack attached to him when he test jumped from a military helicopter. The landing was rough, but he walked away from it. It was proof-positive that the plan would work, but it wasn’t until much later that he learned what GREENLIGHT was. “It was a man-carried nuclear device. That’s when the realization hit me. I was probably the first soldier to free-fall strapped to an atomic bomb.”

What if the Comanche Helicopter is canceled before Arma 3 is released?

Say it isn't so!

I don't care, it's a game.

I remember from reading books by the likes of Chris Ryan and Andy McNab (Former SAS) that special forces soldiers would take it in turns to be deployed to concealed positions near the Iron Curtain. If the invasion came, they would wait for the main battle lines to advance then emerge to wreak havoc on the supply lines, slowing the advance and tying up combat units in escort missions. It was generally understood that if war did break out on their shift, they would not return.

Also, that final bit just reminded me of this scene from Dr Strangelove!
