'There Were No Prisoners in Crete': Armenian Government Rebukes Mitheldalond's Claims
-by Vosdanig Kazandjian

Dimosthenis Galleas, commander of the Armenian garrison on Crete

Oh, Mitheldalond, when will you learn?...

It seems as though it won't be any time soon, though - as it's become evident that they don't exactly care to report the truth - nor do they care about the possibility of increasing global tensions...besides, why would the commoner matter to the likes of the typical globalistic fool - let alone their obviously propagandic conglomerations? Nevertheless, one of their headlines - "Political Fugitives Rescued From Greece" - especially drew the ire of the Armenian government...as tis this, no doubt, that has not the slightest semblance of honesty. While the Armenian government hasn't ruled out the possibility of terrorist groups operating in and around the Balkans - it is known, be it by His Imperial Majesty or the viceroy, that the government has not been keeping prisoners on any of the Greek islands - citing their strategic value as reasoning. Of course, this doesn't seem to have dissuaded the Mitheldalondian government from pursuing a smear campaign against the fatherland...one that - hopefully - will be one of the utmost failure. Have they the slightest amount of journalistic integrity, and if so, why would they be going out of their way to promote the lies of 'human rights abuses'?

Lieutenant General Dimosthentis Galleas - commander of the military garrison on Crete - noted that there was no semblance of a prison break during the time they'd suggested...and that, were such a daring attempt to be made, they'd most certainly be spotted...and promptly shot. This - of course - pokes holes in the Mitheldalondians' claim...as it suggests that these quote-unquote 'prisoners' escaped undetected. Once again, tis a deliberate lie to slander the Armenian cause.

Galleas would go onto claim that, were any Mitheldalondian ships to be found in Armenia's waters, they'd be immediately fired upon - as such a move would 'violate Armenia's territorial integrity'.

Laura Ortiz to visit Ukross for a peace summit

Later today, Laura Ortiz is expected to arrive in Ukross to attempt to settle terms for a ceasefire and occupation of Ukross in the wake of the invasion of Crete, though more footage from drones has been released showing that even despite the supposed rumors of a ceasefire, the war is still ongoing. Luckily, even with forces pouring in and trying to advance, the aggression of the Ukrossian army will not go unnoticed without heavy resistance. With enough firepower in one place, it's possible that the Gonswanzans will simply burn a path through Ukross from coast to coast or until the treaty is in full effect. With how quickly the Gonswanzan army is advancing, it could even be long before the ink hits the paper!

Though, should Ukrossian forces threaten Laura Ortiz, there is always the nuclear option. Let us hope that it doesn't come to that, as our dearest leader is the best leader we've ever had. Hail, our glorious leader! Hail, Laura Ortiz!

UKCROSS WAR OVER

Ukcross Ambassador in custody

Contrary to popular belief Mitheldalond where Uralia and Armenia are aggressive barbarians, peace negotiations held in

Uralian controlled Benghazi, controversially lead by Uralian Armed Forces Colonel General Danyl Luckievič, peace had

been brokered between Ukcross and the Coalition and is expected to be in effect within 24 hours of the singing of the

Treaty of Benghazi. The Occupational Command of North Cyrenaica had commended the efforts of peace on both sides

of the conflict but how long this peace will last is only a matter of time.

[Mitheldalond]

Bob was currently sitting at a desk reading and writing down documents after documents before getting ahold of a report from the OSDRT who had a field day with the wreckage of a B-2 that was recently shot down the last I heard they were all over it measuring it from one wing to the other and were even removing the engines and any surviving avionics to have them reversed engineer before fixing them up and sending them down to Gonswanza along with the schematics although that may take some time however they'll receive it once they finish drafting it up. After they were done with it they would display it at the Museum of foreign militaries where the place had various captured equipment from the Muqaddasia war to the Aursian Civil War and so on speaking of the Museum Bob realized about his own private collection of that stuff getting up and walking over to the door opening before making his way to his own private collection.

Inside his private collection were various war artifacts he obtained through various means both legal and illegal and among them was the newly acquired items from the shot down B-2 a plate that said "Spirit of Westernesse", a burnt corpse of one of the pilots now one may think why to keep the body instead of returning well the answer simple it's in our territory and no matter how much bitchin one nation can do we ain't giving it back and to complete the corpse was a flight helmet all store behind some heavy duty glass you know to prevent people from trying to take his stuff.

After staring at the thing for so long Bob realized he had other stuff to take care of and plan various events in Oceania and so made his way out of the room while making sure the light was turned off. Important things awaits him further down the road

OOC: Not sure why I even need to say this, but no, you cannot detect a stealth bomber from five-hundred nautical miles away. Not even if it called you on the phone and told you exactly where to look.

The B-2 was not shot down. The B-2 was never detected.

[New Aeyariss]

OOC: Permit me to point something out.

1) While it is impossible to detect B-2 with active radar (especially X band used on most fighters), modern esm systems can detect B-2's radar and triangulate it's location.

I am not sure about using IR here as analysts are divided.

2) The moment when B-2 opens it's bomb bay doors, it's RCS increases rapidly and it becomes visible. This is precisely why IRL wise B-2 use is always preceded by Extensive SEAD.

OOC: that’s where you wrong kiddo just because you weren’t over land doesn’t mean shit as the minute you opened the bomb bay door is what the radar caught (that’s how the Serbs shot down a F-117 because they caught it with its bomb bay doors open) using L-band radar allowed me to get a general location not exact has due to L-band being of a lower frequency it wouldn’t give me a exact location due to having a lower resolution and realizing that in order for the missile to travel about in the capital means that you either used radar or gps which that’s where the ESM array came in from there my jets were scrambled and were guided by ground ESM before the onboard ESM and L-radar took over which found it and subsequently shot it down but hey it’s not something I expect from you

Also we are sorry for shooting down your B-2 as we didn’t know it was supposed to be invisible Greetings from Oceania!

EGGTROPOLIS TIMES

Vikanias’s most idiotic source of news since 1846

Chairman of the Syndicalist Party begins to enter Totalitarian legislation into Parliament.

In the recent years since the election of the Syndicalist party Vikanias, has turned its course. for all its history it had been ruled by the Kaiser, these seals lead us through our greatest and worse times, an unending lineage that has survived to the modern day, a rare constant in a world that changes every day. Under the Syndicalists Vikanias has seen economic growth, yet there are cracks in this system, such as strongmen ruining the ideals that the revolution was founded on by Karl Marx 200 years ago. There is no more honour left, all the last victories were with the system that has been chained like a rabid dog, the man and his family that kept our Liberty from his very own siblings that wished to tear down the system their father and grandfather and his father before him which had fought so hard with the world to achieve. Our Kaiser, the True Kaiser of Vikanias is waiting, the Lion of the North has long rested, but now it shall awake and revive the ideals that this nation was founded, the Chairman is Totalitarian, he has run this glorious army down in the ground and used it as GUARDS. Doesn’t that scream mad to you? It should. So my fellow seals, will you stand with the Lion of the North Kaiser Loaf Seal IV? Or shall you just be another poor thug of the Chairman? Make your choice. The Lion shall roar once more and we shall reclaim our spot as a beacon of Liberty in a world filled with misery. COME BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF VIKANIAS! DON’T LET OUR ANCESTORS DOWN! SPEAK YOUR VOICES TO THE WORLD! AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT THE LION HAS AWOKEN! LONG LIVE THE KAISER, AND LONG LIVE VIKANIAS!

OOC: Permit me to point something out.

1) While it is impossible to detect B-2 with active radar (especially X band used on most fighters), modern esm systems can detect B-2's radar and triangulate it's location.

I am not sure about using IR here as analysts are divided.

2) The moment when B-2 opens it's bomb bay doors, it's RCS increases rapidly and it becomes visible. This is precisely why IRL wise B-2 use is always preceded by Extensive SEAD.

1) It's not impossible, you just have to get really close to see it. IIRC, somewhere around 20 nmi / 37 km based on publicly available information.

The B-2's AN/APQ-181 radar is a low probability of intercept system, meaning that the power of science makes it very hard for even modern ESM systems to detect it. The radar is also only really used to find targets to drop JDAMs on, and definitely isn't powerful enough to be detected 500 nmi / 926 km away. In this case, the radar wouldn't even have been turned on in the first place. So no ESM detection.

The B-2 is 100% designed to have a minimal IR signature, and even a minimal audio signature. In this case, it doesn't matter because IR search and track systems can't see things 500 nmi away.

2) The radar signature of a stealth aircraft increases slightly when it opens its weapons bay doors. A B-2 with open bomb bay doors is still going to be like 10 to 100+ times stealthier than anything else in the sky. The people who design these things are well aware that the aircraft will have to open its weapons bay at some point (most likely over enemy territory), and are going to do everything they can to minimize the risks this presents.

Stealth aircraft were literally designed to penetrate enemy airspace without requiring air superiority or extensive SEAD operations before hand. That's the entire point of stealth. The original intent of the B-2 was basically to fly over Soviet air defenses to bomb Moscow, which is protected by probably the largest and most comprehensive surface-to-air network on the planet.

F-117 were among the first aircraft to conduct sorties in the 1991 Gulf War, and were the only coalition aircraft to fly missions over or near Bagdad, as the city was considered too heavily defended for any other aircraft to approach.

But none of that actually matters in this case. The bomber was simply too far away to be detected, period. AWACS has a maximum range of about 400 miles. An Aegis destroyer can only see out to about 200 nmi. Even some over-the-horizon radars can't see out to 500 nmi.

OOC: that’s where you wrong kiddo just because you weren’t over land doesn’t mean shit as the minute you opened the bomb bay door is what the radar caught (that’s how the Serbs shot down a F-117 because they caught it with its bomb bay doors open) using L-band radar allowed me to get a general location not exact has due to L-band being of a lower frequency it wouldn’t give me a exact location due to having a lower resolution and realizing that in order for the missile to travel about in the capital means that you either used radar or gps which that’s where the ESM array came in from there my jets were scrambled and were guided by ground ESM before the onboard ESM and L-radar took over which found it and subsequently shot it down but hey it’s not something I expect from you

Also we are sorry for shooting down your B-2 as we didn’t know it was supposed to be invisible Greetings from Oceania!

The Serbs shot down an F-117 in 1999 because the US got complacent and predictable. An open bomb bay door had very little to do with it. F-117 had been flying the same route at around the same time for several nights before the shoot down. The Serbs were somehow aware of this. I forget exactly how, but I think the F-117s were flying low enough to occasionally see them visually; they just couldn't get anything to track or lock onto them to shoot them down. The radar used to detect the F-117 was supposedly specially-modified for that task, and still only detected it from about 15 miles away. The fire control radar for the SAMs still couldn't see it at 5 miles away, until it opened its bay doors and its RCS increased just enough for the radar to lock it for a few seconds. Several missiles were fired. Technically, they all missed, but one detonated close enough for the blast to damage the F-117 enough to bring it down. It's also worth mentioning that F-117s flew over 1300 similar sorties, and this was the only time one was shot down.

The missile was navigating by GPS, following a preprogrammed course of GPS waypoints. You could literally program the entire mission with nothing more than Google Maps as a reference.

But all of this is academic anyway.

I decide my casualties, not you, and I decided the B-2 wasn't shot down. End of discussion.

OOC: the Swiss contact you. And besides Rome is basically just looking for a scapegoat

Mitheldalond would be interested in discussing the possibility of cooperation between our governments in the matter of Armenia. We understand that both your Roman factions are opposed to the Armenian invasion and occupation of the Balkans, and Mitheldalond shares this opinion. We understand that there may be some awkward complications with such an agreement, as we are technically fighting against at least one of you in Aursi, but we do not see why this should prevent us from merely beginning discussions on an unrelated matter.

Gonswanza boasts new "anti-stealth" radar systems, with rapid deployment underway

The new F-10E and F-7E systems are being rapidly deployed, per various sources, with further models being pushed out and prepared for shipment overseas to allies. The sudden move by the Gonswanzan military is strange, however, what little information that was released does make it appear to be a response to the staggering development of "threats overseas", notably with the shootdown of a stealth bomber over Oceania, hence calling for the sharp push to get the FESS radars out the door and into the field.

While Laura Ortiz doesn't appear concerned for foreign threats, as she should, our dearest leader does seem to be taking the hint. All the wiser, truly.

It also appears that further systems will be revealed soon in an upcoming press conference with Flemmings Electronics and Scanning Systems, perhaps already in the field, though until more information is given, it's all we know.

In other news, Gonswanzan forces in the Republic of Colstrea is making significant progress in the civil war, keen on driving the tyrannical Technate from the region and pulling the republic under the protective shield of Gonswanza itself. The war in Ukross may have ended, but anti-terror operations are ongoing, with Gonswanzan infantry fighting bravely against hostile forces, taking no prisoners and ensuring that every last threat is maimed or butchered for the sake of putting them down like the animals they are. In Alaska, a small fire at a gasoline station resulted in a massive explosion, but nobody was hurt. Evidence from recovered video footage shows that it clearly was a case of arson, but the arsonist has been found and will be awaiting execution in due time.

Hail our glorious leader! Hail, Laura Ortiz!

[HEADLINES] DMA Expanded, Slaves Act Enacted

Category: Law & Order

Today in major headlines the Defense Mobilization Act, enacted by Emperor Conall Solis after the official end of peacetime conscription, has been expanded in a revision newly passed by the Emperor's Law Council, with the Emperor granting assent to the changes. These changes are not very major and don't affect the populace depending on its implementation. Put simply, the government has now legislatively established the MOD's power and authority to regulate and manage the draft and its system.

In addition, military officials say, the new changes also enforce and officially establish within the law, both a priorities system, and a lottery drawing system, to co-exist and be used together in any and all drafts that may occur. Some human rights organizations are worried however, seeing the revision as a potential sign of an on-coming draft, or that the MOD will abuse its authority to reinstate peacetime conscription. We spoke to the Minister Of Defense, Jake Wiseman, who stated that "While peacetime conscription may not be in effect right now, that doesn't mean that it wont change in the future. At this time, we don't intend to change that policy." insinuating that peacetime conscription may be considered for a revival in the near future.

In related news, the Emperor officially announced personally, his enactment of the Slaves Act, which establishes officially, for the first time in written law, the legalization of slavery and the policies and regulations surrounding it. Civil rights experts globally denounced the law, stating that slavery was an 18th century practice and shouldn't be legal in any modern country. The law went into big detail regarding who is and isn't a slave, who does and doesn't have citizenship within slavery, among other policies that until now, have gone unpublished and unregulated.

One of the biggest changes, seen as a reversal to the original enactment of the Wages Guidance Act, was the ban on a minimum wage for any slave in the nation, essentially forcing indentured servitude. There is good news though, legal analysts say, and that's the odd introduction of an Office Of Slaves Rights within the Ministry Of Diplomatic Affairs, which according to legislation, is supposed to be a central slave civil rights office, akin to the Office Of Civil Rights in other agencies and departments.

No government department could be reached for comment on the matter.

CIB Shuffled, Powers Put Into Question

Category: Government & Politics

Today in an odd turn of events, the infamous Censorship & Intelligence Bureau has been shuffled into the Ministry Of Education & Propaganda, with top CIB officials and cabinet members staying dead silent on the matter. However, days after the shuffle had occurred, the IEC put out a press release and public bulletin stating that the CIB's authority and use of designated powers was under investigation. Government insiders claim that the shuffling is directly related to the investigation, and that the CIB's position within law enforcement, was being re-examined for the modern age, with many other agencies existing, including the NSS, DIFSS, NMDB, etc.

OkoTV News reached out to the Director of the National Security Service (NSS), John Rexroad, who commented "I don't know anything about an investigation, but what I do know is, is that there's essentially 2 NSS agencies, just one's an imposter of the real one. The CIB has not been necessary since the expansion of the agency's powers, and official dominance being granted to us in terms of these powers. The CIB is a glorified anti-intelligence house, being a mess over all data received within and externally."

Laura Ortiz, while annoyed by this news, does offer a mildly convenient response in turn, though it could come off as a warning if the subject in question isn't completely insane and unwilling to take in some mild advice.

While it is nice that defense spending has gone up, have you taken a moment to realize why slavery has been discontinued, mostly, save for some select impoverished regions? It's simply unsustainable. You'd run your economy into the ground with these delusional choices of grandeur. It's cheaper and more effective to use automation instead, as free labor from human hands results in mistakes that make inferior products that will run your country into the ground. Ironic, to think that human hands are superior to a precise and precision-tooled robot that can repeat the same task endlessly without tiring or screwing up. This isn't about human rights, but simply about efficiency.

That said, if you so ignore me, I suppose a collapse of your economy would come in due time, and you'd look back to this and wonder "where did we go so wrong?"

Given I have also joined an anti-slavery alliance, however, I suppose I'd have no choice but to condemn your foolish actions, as unsustainable as they are, especially once your slaves start dying from age or abuse. Or both, as is usually the case.

Armenian Government Debunks Roman Claims; Mobilizes Troops Along Slovenian Border
-by Vosdanig Kazandjian

Armenian troops in Croatia Proper

What a surprise...

Is there anything Armenia isn't blamed for nowadays? Be it the slow decline of the International Humanitarian Coalition, or the false claims of 'crimes against humanity', one thing is clear: Armenia's foes are, without a doubt, little more than propagandists; most of whom hide behind claims of 'journalistic integrity'. Indeed - tis a very disgusting thing...and, for some, is stunningly similar to the works of the horrendous Ottoman government of old. Perhaps - just perhaps - this is all an attempt to erase the Armenian identity. Perhaps they seek to re-establish the Turkish ethnostate that terrorized the world for years. No matter these nations' true intentions - none of their claims are more outrageous than those promoted by the Romanic Imperium - a pseudo-Roman successor state...and one that has, time and time again, proven itself to be a state built off of lies.

To reiterate the claims of the Viceroy of the Balkans - the honourable Tavor Skendarian - Armenia has never shown any sort of interest in Switzerland...or in meddling in Roman affairs, for that matter. The claims that either Armenia, or its Trans-Uralian allies, have anything to do with the on-going insurrection is simply false - and all claims of such should be immediately disregarded...

The sightings of Roman UAVs in and around Armenian military instillations has - of course - prompted the government to take immediate action - sending troops to the Slovenian border to, hopefully, discourage the possibility of any sort of invasion. Per the decree of the viceroy himself - Roman ships are, of course, to be fired upon if they find themselves in Armenian waters.

Trans-Uralia denounces Romanic criminals

Uralian soldiers in Crete

And with a war coming to a close, another one opens up in the same old place. The Balkans, a region notorious for clashes between rivaling

powers has begin to see the beginnings of another conflict this time in the Northwestern portion of the region. The Romanic Imperium, a country

who has historically been unnecessarily hostile to any country that hasn’t submitted to it’s ridiculous claims, has this time put the blame again on

it’s neighbor Armenia but also the Trans-Uralian Federation for allegedly funding rebels in a region in Central Europe called Switzerland. The

Ministry of Defense has stated time and time again that it has little to no interests at all in the internal politics of the Romanic Imperium but has

heavily denounced the mistreatment of ethnic Uralians, Chernarusians, and Armenians within Romanic territory. The Ministry of Defense

alongside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also stated that it had requested the Armenian government permission to permanently station Uralian

Armed Forces on the western borders of Armenia in the event of further Romanic aggression.

Special Military Operation Day 6

Situation in Ukraine

The Special Military Operation is visibly in it's closing days, Kiev is surrounded and the Southern and Northern fronts have collapsed completely

for the unprepared Ukrainians who had recieved no financial or military support from other countries. Negotiations in Belozersk are to occur

between September 27th to September 28th to finalize peace in the country and bring a successful end to the Uralian Special Military Operation.

Delegates at the conference hall in Belozersk have alluded to border changes through annexing the primarily ethnic Uralian east and south into

the Federation while the remaining majority Ukrainian areas are to become a new Uralian-friendly state named Синийjрус (Ciniyrus', Lit: Blue

Rus'). More details are to be revealed at the end of a hopefully successful negotiation.

The Voice of the People

CGC announces the creation of a New Holiday in the wake of victory in Libya.

As soldiers return from Libya (and others are sent to garrison the Liberated State), the CGC has triumphantly announced the creation of an holiday dedicated to the honoring of the (few) soldiers who died, and the greatest victory since the Great Revolution.

With this victory seemingly legitimizing the New Military Policy so recently enacted, those voices that once dissented against it within the CGC have now been silenced, and experts (within Neo-Korea) suggest that this victory could allow for future interaction with the world to a degree unseen before.

The holiday (tentatively named “The Day of Remembrance for Sacrifice and Victory Abroad”) is the first holiday within Neo-Korean history to allow for individuals in non-crucial roles to take a limited amount of time to relax and reflect, with the CGC specifically encouraging “Rumination on the works of the Paramount Leader” and other revolutionary thought-activities.

With the greatest triumph in Neo-Korean history so recent, one must wonder what will be achieved in a few years.

“Revolutionary President” of the Liberated State of Kurfah Appointed.

In the first bit of news to come from the now-extant Neo-Korean allied nation, the Liberated State has announced that a former-Uckrossian, Kristopher Elliot, has been appointed the Revolutionary President after a vote from the recently created “National Council”.

While much of the country is still currently under the occupation of Neo-Korea’s Heroic Soldiers, Borislav (the now-famous War-Hero and General) has announced his intent to work with the civilian portions of the new nation to ensure prosperity and stability for all those within it.

The sterling (and only) example of Neo-Korea’s new foreign policies, it can be assumed that (barring any unforseen circumstances) many resources will be put into attempting to ensure the new nation’s stability.

Glory to the CGC, and Glory to Neo-Korea!

Treaty of Scezonia SIgned; Olpen creates the Scezonia Pact

---

As a result of a conference in the Scezonia House, a Treaty has been signed dictating the future of the Middle East. With the new states formed as a result, Olpen has formed the Scezonia Pact to defend new allies.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs has announced that all parties involved in fighting the War with Muqqadasia have signed the Treaty of Scezonia to end the war. The Treaty completely divides Muqqadasia into 12 new countries or puppet states. Of these countries, 2 have been placed under the guidance of Janpia, 1 has been placed under Lakan control, and 7 new countries or territories have been placed under the guidance of Olpen. Despite not fighting and not being in the Treaty, Gonswanza was also made the caretaker of 1. Armenia was allowed to annex portions of Iranian Azerbaijan, while a independent state was made in central Iran.
The new Middle East is expected to be almost as stable as it was under Muqqadasia. All members, barring the independent zone, known as the Iranian Exclusion Zone or Iranian Free State, are members of the KTO. However, the Treaty does make a provision to allow Janpia to annex lands to connect their two guided states.
TO protect the peace, and to further achieve world peace as Olpen in breaking out of it's isolationist shell, the Chamber Minister has signed the Scezonia Agreement, which creates the Scezonia Pact. The Pact is likely to be lead by Olpen to defend allied states and act as a unified military entity. The Muqqadasian successors under Olpenese supervision have also joined, and it is open to other nations joining the pact in the near future.

The B-2 is 100% designed to have a minimal IR signature, and even a minimal audio signature. In this case, it doesn't matter because IR search and track systems can't see things 500 nmi away.

2) The radar signature of a stealth aircraft increases slightly when it opens its weapons bay doors. A B-2 with open bomb bay doors is still going to be like 10 to 100+ times stealthier than anything else in the sky. The people who design these things are well aware that the aircraft will have to open its weapons bay at some point (most likely over enemy territory), and are going to do everything they can to minimize the risks this presents.

Stealth aircraft were literally designed to penetrate enemy airspace without requiring air superiority or extensive SEAD operations before hand. That's the entire point of stealth. The original intent of the B-2 was basically to fly over Soviet air defenses to bomb Moscow, which is protected by probably the largest and most comprehensive surface-to-air network on the planet.

F-117 were among the first aircraft to conduct sorties in the 1991 Gulf War, and were the only coalition aircraft to fly missions over or near Bagdad, as the city was considered too heavily defended for any other aircraft to approach.

But none of that actually matters in this case. The bomber was simply too far away to be detected, period. AWACS has a maximum range of about 400 miles. An Aegis destroyer can only see out to about 200 nmi. Even some over-the-horizon radars can't see out to 500 nmi.

OOC: that’s where you wrong kiddo just because you weren’t over land doesn’t mean shit as the minute you opened the bomb bay door is what the radar caught (that’s how the Serbs shot down a F-117 because they caught it with its bomb bay doors open) using L-band radar allowed me to get a general location not exact has due to L-band being of a lower frequency it wouldn’t give me a exact location due to having a lower resolution and realizing that in order for the missile to travel about in the capital means that you either used radar or gps which that’s where the ESM array came in from there my jets were scrambled and were guided by ground ESM before the onboard ESM and L-radar took over which found it and subsequently shot it down but hey it’s not something I expect from you

Also we are sorry for shooting down your B-2 as we didn’t know it was supposed to be invisible Greetings from Oceania!

The Serbs shot down an F-117 in 1999 because the US got complacent and predictable. An open bomb bay door had very little to do with it. F-117 had been flying the same route at around the same time for several nights before the shoot down. The Serbs were somehow aware of this. I forget exactly how, but I think the F-117s were flying low enough to occasionally see them visually; they just couldn't get anything to track or lock onto them to shoot them down. The radar used to detect the F-117 was supposedly specially-modified for that task, and still only detected it from about 15 miles away. The fire control radar for the SAMs still couldn't see it at 5 miles away, until it opened its bay doors and its RCS increased just enough for the radar to lock it for a few seconds. Several missiles were fired. Technically, they all missed, but one detonated close enough for the blast to damage the F-117 enough to bring it down. It's also worth mentioning that F-117s flew over 1300 similar sorties, and this was the only time one was shot down.

The missile was navigating by GPS, following a preprogrammed course of GPS waypoints. You could literally program the entire mission with nothing more than Google Maps as a reference.

But all of this is academic anyway.

I decide my casualties, not you, and I decided the B-2 wasn't shot down. End of discussion.

OOC: the Swiss contact you. And besides Rome is basically just looking for a scapegoat

Mitheldalond would be interested in discussing the possibility of cooperation between our governments in the matter of Armenia. We understand that both your Roman factions are opposed to the Armenian invasion and occupation of the Balkans, and Mitheldalond shares this opinion. We understand that there may be some awkward complications with such an agreement, as we are technically fighting against at least one of you in Aursi, but we do not see why this should prevent us from merely beginning discussions on an unrelated matter.

The Imperium, while seeing the awkwardness of this situation is considering the possibility of such cooperation. Current we have a conference scheduled with our Sister-State, the Romanic Imperium in Rome. We would be willing to entertain the the idea of cooperation against Armenia and invite you to send a delegation to the Holy and Eternal Imperial City of Rome.

• • • A Statement of Shock at the Awesome Imperium's Government Dated: September 9th, 2028 • • • MoC Traver's Estate • Constitution City, Olpen The Peoples Republic of Olpen announces to all nations of the world that the stateof Awesome Imperium has launched a deliberate, unprovoked attack against Olpen. It has come to Olpen's notice that a submarine guarding the Olpenese owned Panama Canal was deliberately sunk by the navy of the Awesome Imperium. In violation of the Geneva Convention, the Imperium Navy refused to aid sailors struggling for their lives. For this reason, Olpen demands that a sum of 4 billion dollars for the submarine and 2 billion dollars for the fallen sailors is paid. It is additionally demanded that the lands of New Zealand and Australia are given independence and placed under Olpenese protection to prevent a similar attack from happening in Oceania. Should these fair terms be rejected, Olpen may have to use forceful measures to avenge the sailors. Olpen henceforth bans trade with the Awesome Imperium. Olpen calls on all good nations to do the same. Olpen hopes this will not affect relations with our Roman allies. However, we do implore Rome to reconsider it's partnership with the terrorist state of Awesome Imperium. 57 Coral Road, Constitution City Min. of Foreign Affairs, Hugo Duval

My filter is running low and I don’t know if I’ll make it much longer, the nearest decontaminated area is 10 klicks from where I am. I don’t have much time, I’m certain that the higher ups knew we found out too much so they sent us here to die. I remember my mother telling me what life was like before the exchange and how life was better then this, I really wish I could’ve lived to see that day, the way I see it now this is possibly the last time I’ll be heard from. If this is the last I want to make something clear. If you believe that you are alone and you lost hope, don’t think this. You are not alone in this, the world as we know it now may be horrible and terrifying but understand that we can make it together, I may die now but my ideals and my voice I hope will live on in all of those who have begun to lose hope.

Sonakion reaches out to rebuild relationship with Armenia
Following the Armenian invasion of the Balkans Sonakion had responded in heavy sanctions and denial of access to Sonakion waters. However recent evidence suggests that the information supplied that convinced Sonakion to do this was in fact biased and did not cover the full story nor the full scope of the conquerors and the conquered. Armenia had also not advanced further into Europe another primary fear and with the collapse of the rest of the opposition to Armenia its been decided that the new situation in the Balkans particularly so given that it was not nearly do bad and detrimental as previously thought.

In an act of good faith this announcement has been followed by the lifting of some sanctions along with allowing Armenian civilian and commercial vessel's to access Sonakion waters if needs be once again.

Sonakion hopes to arrange a meeting between our governments to further discuss what both of us can do in order to repair and build new successful relations.

Special Military Operation Accomplished

Agreed map, provinces in pink are to be ceded to Uralia

Peace in Eastern Europe at last, with the finalization of the Belozersk Treaty, Ukraine, which has been demilitarized, has ceded all land which

has Uralian majority inhabitants, and the government which had existed prior to the Belozersk Treaty will willingly concede power to the CPU. The

CPU has established it's believes in a reapproach to relations with Trans-Uralia for the first time since 1991. The CPU has also promised that Ukraine

will no longer become a playground for Romanic, Mitheldalond, and Olpenese business interests and will have a state of self-determinism with the

aid of Trans-Uralia.

Uralian Neo-Nazi Mercenaries accused of fighting alongside Swiss rebels

Alleged Uralian-Neo Nazis in Switzerland

Once again, "evidence" supporting the Romanic Imperium's claim that Trans-Uralia is supporting an insurrection in the Romanic province of

Switzerland has surfaced on a number of non-Uralian online forums. A number of images depicting what seems to be ethnic Chernarusian or

Uralian Neo-Nazi groups in a number of locations across Switzerland being alongside notorious Swiss separatists. It's unsure if these photos have been doctored

to provoke a conflict between the psuedo-Roman superstate and Trans-Uralia and their Allies. Hopefully the release of such images will not be

the subject of any increased tension between the two nations.

Convoy ambushed By Swiss rebels and Uralian Mercenarys

As Switzerland yet agian attempts to rebel agianst the benevolent empire Roman Legions have been dispatched to Crush the Seperatists, and with fighting comes supply lines even with the highways and infrastructure built for the Province moving large amounts of ammunition, clothes, etc. Is still dangerous with the threat of Swiss rebels and Trans Uralian Mercenaries attacking convoys this happened today along route 2378 when a convoy carrying food and ammunition was ambushed by Swiss rebels. Video footage shows ethnic Chernarusians supporting the Swiss I'm combat their weapons are also Trans Uralian Assult rifles which is what the Swiss are also using. The ambush failed but it yet agian shows a clear interference by Trans Uralia

[Trans-Uralia]

Regarding incidents in Switzerland

The Trans-Uralian Federation and the nations of the world will not fall to such blatant trickery. The Trans-Uralian Federation has exercised a

complete memorandum on emigration of Uralian and Chernarusian nationals since the year of our lord 2004 AD. Second of all, Trans-Uralian

firearms such as the AK platform of rifles manufactured by the Kalashnikov Concern are the most popular and common weapons on the planet,

export models have been sold abroad since 1974 during the times of the Red State. These claims are baseless and are nothing more than an

attempt of defamation on the peaceful Trans-Uralian Federation.

His Imperial Majesty Congratulates Gorbachenko; Recognizes Uralian Territorial Gains in Ukraine
-by Vosdanig Kazandjian

His Imperial Majesty in Sofia

Nowadays, Eastern Europe never ceases to amaze...

Be it the fatherland's glorious annexation of the Balkans, or the Uralians' successful special military operation in Ukraine, it seems as though the region - once more - has found itself a new purpose...a new dawn of a brilliant age. Of course - in return for the Uralians' support of the Armenian cause in the Balkans - the Armenian government has, per decree of His Imperial Majesty, recognized any and all territorial gains made by Uralia in the aftermath of said operation...and has, per usual, congratulated the Uralian president - Andrej Gorbachenko - for a 'job well done'. The sudden growth of Trans-Uralia has - to the delight of many - established an (albeit small) land border with the Armenian Balkans - thus, potentially, allowing for - as FM Taslakian put it - 'greater cooperation between the two nations'. It has, per many a source, been reported that His Imperial Majesty has requested a meeting between himself and the Uralian president in Svoborisk to discuss said matters...and - of course - the ever-present threat the Romanic Imperium poses. Indeed, tis to be quite the interesting affair...if it happens at all. In the meantime, Armenian troops have eased their restrictions along the Moldavian border...and are - according to many a source - allowing immigrants into the country for the first time since the war with Muqaddasia.

The Voice of the People

CGC condemns constant attempts by the Romantic Imperium to insult other nations, commends Swiss for breaking free of chains placed upon them.

In the wake of another attempted condemnation of the innocent Trans-Uralian Federation and it’s innocent leadership, the CGC has officially taken a stance on the current conflict in Switzerland.

Specifically condemning the “Constant and Baseless” claims of the Romantic Imperium, Neo-Korea has officially decided to voice support for the Brave Freedom Fighters of Switzerland in their struggle against the imperialist bloodmongers currently attempting to occupy their state.

Pyoyter Nakiovich, leader of the CIS and the representative of their interests on the CGC, had this to say:
“The Swiss, in their valiant struggle against the warmongers within the Romantic Imperium, have once again revealed the inherent flaws of those regimes seeking to ape powers far older and greater than they could ever hope to be.
Much like those great powers, with the first chink in their armor exposed, they shall soon be swept into the dustbin of modern history.”

The Voice of the People has no further news on this subject.
