:co-ordination = radio

In which case we're going to KNOW when you're spooling up to shoot and
you'll be dead before everybody gets rolled out and ready.

Hasve you never heard of encryption, or are you trolling?


Unless you have every radio running 24/7 with garbage, in which case
they'll be taken out, the simple spike in transmissions will alert the
enemy. Also, you cannot just assume it'll be a single message--
you'll have to tell them where the enemy units are, where the
friendlies are, what their target is, you'll have to make up for units
that have been destroyed, or cannot launch on time.
All that equals out more chatter on the radio, which even if it
cannot be decoded will be extremely informative to U.S. Sigint. They
will know where at least a percentage of your launchers are, and will
start to kill them.
