DDS gain export order for NDAA

The DDS have won an export order for its NDAA (A-12) light strike aircraft. Helinox has ordered 42 of the type for its air force for policing and attack training duties. Other Eritran members are also said to be interested in the type as they seek to round out their armed forces after a focus on their space fleets. This is not the first export order for the type but hopefully will be the first that actually results in a sale. Sirikwan did trial 3 of the aircraft for a few months but in the end did not buy it. The Voth also placed an order but also changed their minds later.

Seventy eight NDAAs currently serve with the DDS Terrestrial Force (Air Corps) with 16 more on order though this batch may be delayed to speed up delivery to Helinox. The DDS are currently looking into an upgrade package for their fleet which would include improved stealth, communications and ECM.
