The HCSAF have unveiled their new air-launched cruise missile the AS-7 which will be a key part of the HCS' "counter invasion" strategy which has seen the HCS been remodelled as a reactive force on Cloneworld designed to attack any invading forces. AS-7 can be seen as a key part of this strategy along with the Gale-III and HCS Navy.
AS-7 can be launched by A-84 and F-45 aircraft and will be a key weapon of carrier operating F-45Ks in a few years time. The AS-7 can be fitted with a nuclear warhead and has a range up to 500km. It is fitted with a number of systems to aid penetration of enemy defences the HCS said. It is expected to enter service from next year.
