Also documented the behavior on the wiki (link in the changelog).
This is currently fully functional for players, but since units can be
bought and sold at any base there's no real reason to use these yet.
Will follow up with making ground units only purchasable at bases with
factories (the UI will still allow the purchase directly at the base,
but it will automatically create the transfer order) so convoys end up
being used, and to make factories a more interesting strategic target.

Still a work in progress (the missions don't actually perform their task, just orbit). Currently:
* AEW&C aircraft can be bought.
* AEW&C missions can be planned at any control point and at front lines.
* AEW&C will return after 4H or Bingo.
FOB strucutres can't be repaired and the player can't target them.
SAMs are targeted by DEAD already, so considering them for strike double
plans the mission.
Fixes https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/686
DCS features a massive range of aircraft and land vehicles, and not all of them make their role(s) clear just from the name alone. What this commit does is add an "information" button (and resultant window) to the recruitment section. This should allow new players to understand what each unit is/does.
Current state - every aircraft has a country of origin and an introduction date for that variant. Some also have a small placeholder description, taken from ED's store page for that aircraft. There is also a placeholder picture (taken from a rejected image from my own personal photography) that will, in time, show a banner image of each unit.
Todo - add appropriate screenshots for each aircraft's banner, replace the placeholder text for each aircraft (this will take a while...) and add more data points for each unit type, such as a unit role (i.e. "air-superiority fighter", "multirole fighter", etc) or perhaps a list of weapons carried. I also haven't made a start on the huge number of ground units yet.
