Around 40 ABBO warships have made a sustained bombardment of DDS positions on Delta 9. The ABBOs seemed willing to lose ships to TPM-As and around 19 were shot down by F-10S patrols on the planet (a TPM-G battery is being set-up too). Two F-10s were also shot down by ground fire.
One problem for the DDS is said to be that their stockpile of TPM-As is running down fast and they need resupply within the next few days. It is thought however that the DDS are preparing to resupply their forces on the planet. Damage to DDS defence positions was said to be "substantial" but the lines still held against an ABBO attack.
