The decision was not expected so soon but the Dinos have chosen the DDS F-10S for their air defence fighter. The key consideration was the ability to fire TPM-As which the Clone design could not do (and likely could never do) and the Dinos, pragmatic as always, decided to not waste any more time. A DDS team will now meet the Dinos to finalise the deal which is likely to see 50 F-10SED fighters built by the DDS and over 300 licence built by the Dinos themselves.
With TPM-A designs and spares the total value of the order is likely to be over 7 billion zarks. Interestingly the Dinos are also interested in the DDS NDAA light attack aircraft and have requested specifications.
