The first new major surface combatant of the HCS Navy, the destroyer D01 Olana, has entered what is said to be "operational trials status". Basically this means trials of the new ship are continuing but it is considered to be ready for operational use should the need arise. This is important as the only other major surface combatant the frigate F01 Ailier is currently receiving an update. D01 Olana has thus been named flagship of the HCS Navy - Ailier Fleet.
The Tapir has switched production to TRV-5G5 which has a number of production improvements to aid maintenance. It also has a totally new and improved smokescreen and decoy launching system.
Production of the new assault rifle has switched to AR-105A standard which includes a number of production refinements including addressing an issue arising with cleaning the rifle.
The HCSAF have received 320 million zarks to boost missile stocks after it was revealed that some air regiments are literally running out of missiles.
