Two Type A transports have just arrived in Oscar orbit carrying military equipment for the Clone Army of Oscar (CAO). Its thought 12 T-88++ tanks, 32 TRV-5B Tapir IFVs plus small arms, ammunition and other equipment is being supplied. A third transport bringing 6 A-85 COIN aircraft and 16 O-43 liaison aircraft is also on the way.
A DDS analyst says the Clones are showing their commitment to a domestic audience but in reality the quality of the arms is poor, being obsolete and worn out equipment from HCS storage depots. The O-43s for example are probably more dangerous to their pilots than the Oscar Terran Army because of their age and condition.
Thats not to say the DDS arn't also offloading their obsolete weapons though the tanks supplied (Avenger IIIs) have been reconditioned beforehand and are in much better condition than most of the tanks supplied to the CAO.
