A CAF source has said that a small number of early production K85QA COIN aircraft have been used in air strikes against Lornacan Fighters insurgents on Lornaca Melnig. The source said that the acoustic stealth of the new version of the K85 had proven a great asset with the insurgents having little or no warning of the impending attack.
The source said the K85QAs did encounter some technical issues with their new IR sensors and have been withdrawn pending updates though the success of the new stealth features is said to have delighted the Clones.
