The Gale-III ICBM has successfully carried out it's final development test with a dummy warhead which was launched from a silo near Ailier City (part of the main defensive ring around the capital and HCS GHQ) which landed in the southern Ailier desert. Production will now begin of the missile to replace the Gale-IIB which will be phased out of service over the next few years. Current silos will need some modifications to be able to operate the new missile.
A road mobile version of the missile is also said to be in development and will form a core part of the HCS doctrine to be able to maintain a "strike back" capability against an invading force as long as possible.
