Field notes
The model treats access and logistics as constraints: the site says a strike needs a usable field within combat radius and enough fuel for the return trip. Terrain is divided into 42 elevation-and-climate zones, while interception depends on a defender having an inventory system rated for the incoming weapon. Figures are described as approximate estimates from named public sources, and the site distinguishes its game outcomes from real-world forecasts.
