The "invasion scare" fleet has now broken up (the Intruders and some of the escorts returning to Cloneworld) but the transport part of the fleet has continued to Oscar and, as promised by the Clones, delivered weapons to the Clone Army of Oscar (CAO). There is nothing usual in this, the DDS are also supplying the human side, the Oscar Terran Army (OTA).
However what has raised eyebrows is the type of weapons supplied : jet fighter bombers. 16 F-40s and 22 A-84s have been supplied along with 11 more COIN A-85s. All aircraft have come from the HCSAF Reserve and are pretty old though have been checked for airworthiness. The jets will be flown by "Clone volunteers" who just happen to be ex-HCSAF. A HCS analysis site has accused the HCS of cynically ending some pilots careers early so they could go to Oscar as "civilians". The HCS have denied it. Plenty of bombs and rockets have also been supplied.
The CAO say they hope to begin operations with their new aircraft next year. The OTA have asked the DDS to supply them more weapons otherwise they say "the Clones will win".
