We (the Dutch🇳🇱) had a minesweeper like that too, the HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen (1936).
From wikipedia:
The ship was based at Surabaya in the Netherlands East Indies when Japan invaded in 1941. Following the Allied defeats at the Battles of the Java Sea and Sunda Strait in late February 1942, all Allied ships were ordered to withdraw to Australia. Abraham Crijnssen was meant to sail with three other warships, but found herself proceeding alone.
To escape detection by Japanese aircraft (which the minesweeper did not have the armament to defend effectively against), the ship was heavily camouflaged with jungle foliage, giving the impression of a small island. Personnel cut down trees and branches from nearby islands, and arranged the cuttings to form a jungle canopy covering as much of the ship as possible. Any hull still exposed was painted to resemble rocks and cliffs. To further the illusion, the ship would remain close to shore, anchored and immobile during daylight, and only sail at night. She headed for Fremantle, Western Australia, where she arrived on 20 March 1942; Abraham Crijnssen was the last vessel to successfully escape Java, and the only ship of her class in the region to survive.

Could it be for JDAM as well?
My bad, i thought about the JASSM!
Low chance to see the AGM-28 imo, as its only nuclear?
JASSM also has a 1000lb penetrating blast-frag warhead.
and with the AI interception of missiles a thing now… I do wonder if we could see long ranged stand-off cruise missiles at some point. The issue too date, is that you could launch them easily cross map, from relative safety, this is what people were doing with the Grom-1 on the dev server.
If you had to go clear a path first… then they would be somewhat balanced
(or were you talking about the AGM-28?)
Yeah, it was regarding the AGM-28. My bad again, i should have clarified!

Sadly, gajin forgot anti-radiation missile (ARM) from 60’s ~ late 70’s era in the Nuclear Thunder! event
They forgot the Shrike?

Japan/Thailand/Malaysia/Indonesia would have KH-31s, maybe HARMS (on technicalities) and maybe ASM-3 since it’s a passive composite seeker with a radar home in mode as an option.

In fact, the american aircraft mid 60’s ~ 70’s armed AGM-45 Shrike and AGM-78 STARM
I suppose AGM-88A & AGM-88B (Blk II ~ III) HARM for F/A-18C/D (early), A-6E SWIP and F/A-18A (mid 80’s ~ desert storm config)
JASDF and ASEAN never ordered anti-radiation missile
remember Germans would need a Sperate Tornado ECR with no Guns and ELINT in the nose to use AGM-88
Do HARMs actually work? I lob Kh-29 / AGM-65 to targets and go steafe them while busy.
I couldn’t manage to lock an ARM to something I can see on my screen yet. They just go lock at the furthest Hawk on the map
