Extended Vietnam War Ideas and Inspiration

LemonJello:
Here is the thread for discussion and sharing of ideas, events and references for the 2022 Extended Vietnam War Group Build.

Story:
So, just wool-gathering here....

1) Soviet Spetsnaz (they were there as 'advisors') fire-fighting with USN SEAL/ USA Special Forces.

2) Soviet pilots in MiG-21s going after USN targets.

3) The dominoes actually falling as feared, with the Red Chinese and their erstwhile Vietnamese 'allies' investing the outer islands in the Phillipines.

4) How close is the reality of the 1978 Vietnamese adventure into Cambodia and the 1979 scrimmage with China part of this fantasy? Rhetorical leading question.

Many years ago, there was an article in Air-Britain's AeroMilitatria about RAF operations in Singapore using Gloster Javelins. A reader had sent in a letter to the editor, asking if there was any reports of Javelins making combat contacts with what was going on just to the north. Later, another person responded to that by saying he was a Javelin pilot at the time and that there had been an incident when one Javelin had returned with a missile missing from a pylon. The pilot said that everything was hushed up and no one got to know the for or why about the incident.

Now what if the UK had got involved in Vietnam --------

Now Mrs kitnut is an Army Brat, and her Dad (REME) was posted to Singapore around the same time as the beginning of the war. Mrs kitnut was 1 or 2 years old at the time and they were there for about 3 to 4 years.
