DDSAF receive more K-18Ds but NDAA delayed until late next year

40 more of Dino built K-18D close support aircraft have been delivered to the DDS Air Force. The DDS now have over 100 of the type though not all are in service because of a shortage of pilots. The DDSAF aim to have around 150 of the aircraft by the end of next year though maybe only 90 at any one time will be in service.

The DDS' own light attack aircraft the NDAA was hoped to be ready by the end of 2110 but problems with the flight control software (thought to have been not helped by DDS Research staff being moved to other projects because of the war) means that the aircraft will not now begin production until Q3 2111 with an entry into service by the end of 2111.
