Clone Army of Oscar (CAO) aircraft, reported to be 6
F-40s and 3
A-85s, have launched a surprise attack on
Oscar City, the capital of the human part of
Oscar and HQ of the
Oscar Terran Army (OTA). The government's main offices and the defence ministry were hit by a number of laser guided bombs. The
Browning COIN aircraft hit the OTA's barracks in the south of the city firing rockets and strafing the buildings with 20mm cannon pods. The OTA have reported at least 40 casualties.
One F-40 crashed on the way back to CAO lines, possibly due to a technical fault and a A-85 was shot down by ground fire. The OTA have most of their anti-aircraft equipment at the front line though including a number of SAMs. In response to the attack the OTA say they will deploy SAM and extra AA guns at the capital at the expense of the front line. Though one more big offensive by the CAO could make the distinction moot analysts say.
