The Baelgarian War

Hippo wrote://Synavia, usually air force planes don't have their country's flag painted on them like that. They usually use roundels like this, you really should use them too. I was too lazy to remove the jagged edges, sorry.

It isn't just the pricetag on the B-2s though, it's your claim of a 'very-large air force' and all the physical and crew-based infrastructure required to support it all. Within a week you've gone from no defence budget to this, so where did all the airbases, hangars, ground crew, maintenence teams, pilots, weapons officers and the command and control facilities required to handle it all appear from?

It's one thing to say your nation can afford it, it's another to just have it instantly appear on site without any proper grounding. It would be like saying that because Avinistratus could fund a canal stretching from it's lakes to the ocean, it's automatically built and there. It wouldn't be, it's a years long engineering project.

Couldn't the same be said for military forces where it isn't just about the materiel in use, but the skill and training within the people using them and the logical support backing them up. That takes time to develop, especially for a prieviously peaceful nation adjusting to it's military forces.

it's one thing to form a militia and hand every person a rifle, it is another entirely to expect them to act like a well-drilled military platoon when you do so. Instead that is brought about by the time and money invested in training a professional army. Even more has to be invested to create an air-force, as while the basics of flying an aircraft can be taken from airliners, that doesn't translate to combat operations and operating the various systems about a modern combat aircraft.

Pilots capable of flying B-2s into hostile airspace undetected don't just grow on trees.

In other news, a commercial satellite has gone offline for unknown reasons. The satellite is functioning, but is no longer transmitting the commercial signals it was previously.

With the lack of a penal system in Lesser Sermo, Greater Sermo has provided an alternative. 50,000 of Lesser Sermo's political prisoners (an estimated 98.34% of convicts) will be shipped to baelgaria, and handed equipment. The estimated DOA is this coming sunday, as Greater Sermo is providing transportation.

Avin Triumvirate wrote:With the recent Synavian military flights over Jeniferia, our forces had opted to ignore such flights, as being equipped with mere self-defence anti-air weaponry rather than theatre defence, they were content to assume you were deploying within Baelgaria. Given your public announcement of deployments within Jeniferia however, it was not hard for military-intelligence satelites to pinpoint a Jeniferian airbase with military activity which wasn't accounted for by registered flights.

As we are not at war, two companies of Avinistratus Peacekeeping forces within Jeniferia are being redeployed to act as a deterrant for usage of this airbase. Your are taking a zone which was already been ravaged by war as a result of their prievious rulers, and exposing it to worse should Baelgaria counter-attack as a result of your airbase.

While our forces are relatively light, they do retain an anti-aircraft capability able to engage any attempted reinforcement or take-off from your base. In addition to this, integral mobile gun support allows for the ability to inflict damage upon your forces should they engage upon ground.

This is merely a warning however, as you have until 20:00 GMT to confirm that you are abandoning the base, or our forces will be forced to set up a perimeter around the base to prevent anything flying in, or out.

We understand that you are at war with Baelgaria, but that does not give you the permission to invade other peoples homes for use as a base of operations. We are also concerned about these supposed 'conflicts' with Ocasian units, and would request a clarification as to their nature.

Well, here goes.
Synavia sees no reason to abondon Skyhawk Base (as we call it), for the reason that if it is abandoned, there is no good way to attack Baelgaria. Anything else will require vast, unrealistic distances. It's the only way. Also it's not homes we invaded, it was completely uninhabited at the time of the Synavian occupance.
Synavia does not wish to come into conflict with Argulor. However, Sunday is too soon, even if I do give in. Complete abandonment will take half a week at least. Same with your threat, Avin.
On the subject of the Ocasian -ah,- interference: Here's mainly what happened. Things were going as usual in Skyhawk Base at an unspecified date and time when Ocasian troops appeared near. According to them, their directive was to ensure complete neutrality, via force if necessary. Some shots were fired and they left, however we expect them to return.
Your posts require a lot of answering, Avin.
Gotta go pretty soon, I'm exhausted and my back is making me feel 85.
