Pick two sides and watch it resolve on a world map — real aircraft flying from real airbases at their real combat radius, named formations taking ground, named weapons falling on named installations, under weather and terrain that decide as much as the order of battle does.

Anyone can compare two lists of tanks. The interesting part is everything that stops those tanks from ever meeting.
Every strike needs a base the coalition may actually use, within combat radius, with fuel to get home. Tankers extend it. A base on ground the enemy holds does not count.
51 treaties, 51 hostility pairs, 130 bilateral ties. Every coalition is tagged with the instrument that binds it, and hub-and-spoke arrangements are recognised as such.
42 geographic zones with real elevation and climate. Armour is worth almost nothing above 4,000 m. The monsoon grounds close air support and defeats optical guidance.
For most countries the army is the largest thing they own. Each one gets an order of battle drawn up at the start of the war, in its own vocabulary — Armoured Brigade Combat Teams, Guards Tank Regiments, Combined Arms Brigades, Mountain Divisions — riding the equipment that force actually operates. Every assault takes ground or does not, and the record follows the formation.
Hypersonic glide vehicle, ballistic, aeroballistic, supersonic, stealth or subsonic cruise — each with its own speed, detectability and blast. Interception picks the actual system out of the defender's inventory and checks whether it is rated for the target set. Early warning can fail entirely, and then the weapon simply arrives.
Loitering munitions in waves, UCAV strike packages and ISR orbits — Shahed, Bayraktar, Wing Loong, Harop — each flying differently, each counted in the ledger, each written into the log. Carriers are modelled as carriers rather than as large frigates, with their own silhouette and their own sortie rate.
33 heads of state with formal command authority and seven behavioural traits from the public record. Centralisation sets re-tasking speed; appetite for escalation moves the nuclear threshold within the bounds of declared doctrine.
Nuclear powers have lost wars without reaching for them. What has never been tested is a nuclear state being destroyed quickly. Release requires four things at once: the state is being annihilated, the collapse arrived in days rather than months, nothing conventional is left to stop it, and maximum alert has held unbroken. Then a decision that is usually refused — and less thinkable the larger the arsenal that would answer it.
International designation, the name its operator actually uses in its own script, the NATO reporting name, and where it was designed — for all 1,971 systems.
The map gets the screen. One bar says who is winning. Everything else arrives when you ask for it and leaves when you do not.
Click anything and it opens: a country, an airbase, a sector, a formation, a package in flight. From a Su-30MKI you can reach the BrahMos it is carrying, from the BrahMos the systems rated to intercept it, from those the nation that fields them — and a back button walks the whole chain home. Open a page beside the map or give it half the screen; the war keeps running either way.
See it in motionNot "12 fighters" — a Su-30MKI with 259 airframes, its Devanagari service name, its NATO reporting name, where it was built and what it can carry. Thirty-three countries at that depth, fifty-five more with headline figures.
Aircraft, missiles, armour, artillery, ships, air defence, electronic warfare, strategic sensors, space assets, cyber commands, infantry weapons, munitions stockpiles and naval auxiliaries — plus 933 airbases, garrisons, naval bases, missile sites, radars and depots with verified coordinates.
