The remaining F-10ASE Shark interceptors have now begun withdrawal from service following a long career which dated back to the Clone Wars. NS Terrestrial Forces are now taking delivery of F-10SNG Shark 2100s which cover all duties including TPM-A armed LEO defence patrols over key NS facilities.
It is thought the remaining F-10ASEs will remain in service until the end of 2121 though will increasingly be used in a reserve role.
The new F-12 Hammerhead is expected to take over LEO defence duties from the Shark 2100 by 2123.
