The Chief of the State Dept. on Military Affairs, Jaul Usetera, addresses the nation in a speech on national television.
''Dear comrades, compatriots,
A solution to the long-standing clashing claims between our nation and Pohnei hasn't been found in the times and framework set up in accordance between our two countries in past times, despite our willingness to do so.
We recognize the Ankedo Islands as integral part of our nation we were willing to cede in the name of regional peace but our neighbors don't seem so interested to harmony, so without second thoughts we've decided to prepare to the possible escalation.''
1.800 troops, 6x 9K37 Buk medium-range SAM systems and 1x S-300VM long-range SAM system are present in the artificial Samora Machel Island.
In the artificial island there's the only airstrip around the islands, which hosts 4 Kamov Ka-50 attack and scout helicopters and 6 Sukhoi Su-35 Multirole/Air superiority fighters.
The harbour contains 1 frigate, 4 corvettes and 12 patrol boats.
These units have been mostly unactive all the time but as a tension strategy, Kergstan has moved 3 patrol boats near to the southern shores of Onapet Island.
