After 3 days of troubleshooting I made this thing work! Download the ISO version. Extract the ISO on a drive.
Use a dosbox to run the luncher ( the luncher is 16 bit but the game is 32 bit) if you are on Windows 10/11.
Go to register editor of the windows ( windows key+ R) find wow64 folder under local. Find red storm entertainment then force21 and edit CD path to the location of extracted iso folder. This will resolve " insert CD" error.
You also need to install dgVoodoo. This helps to run old games on new graphic cards. Watch a 2 minute video on how to set it up. And use chatgpt to setup all the parameters for the force21.
If you have a dedicated graphic card, you need to go to your graphic card settings, add force21 and basically turn off all modern gimmicky stuff and cap fps to 58 or something like that.
Finally I had a problem with the game freezing on win/loss transition to debriefing stage. Where you install the game search for "victory" and "defeat", you'll find 2 files for each search. Rename those two files to whatever you want.
Enjoy

ISO is corrupt. It's needed to play the game, even if you download the RIP version
