DDSAF withdraw A-84s

The DDSAF have put the 40 A-84 attack aircraft they purchased second-hand off the Clones for war service last year. The aircraft had officially reached operational status though had not seen much use with the DDS now the war is over. The DDSAF have decided to withdraw them to save costs and because a ground attack upgrade for the F-10S is due soon. The aircraft have been put in storage though will likely be sold. The aircraft were bought cheaply with not a great deal of life left in any event.

Other Clone built aircraft are coming into service however, the first 2 C-485s have become the latest transport type to enter service.
  • The Vosun Star Empire has reaffirmed its committment to the Bolitic Confederacy despite the ongoing War of Succession (which seems to be kicking off again) and a series of terrorism attacks across the capital city. The Bolitic Governor has told the Vosun government to crush this dissent or the Bolitic may have to intervene. As the Bolitic have been known to use chemical weapons for crowd control this is no idle threat.
