Well with the news that China is apparently gearing towards war I guess it'd be a good time to
A: show what I've got in that neck of the woods being closely allied to them and
B: what might go there and the possibility of Atlantia increasing military production... Anywho. AFPRC (
Atlantian
Forces
People's
Republic of
China), sorta similar to how the US has troops stationed in South Korea we have troops in China, not to bolster North Korea, quite the opposite. China has become tired of the bickering between the two nations and wants to see it resolved hence Atlantia having a substantial deployment in the area...
Shown are the air assets currently deployed in Yantai. The current deployment (OP: Distant Dancer XIX) sees the introduction of tranche II HA-10s with the new core architecture and control systems although only two are currently deployed in theatre the remaining HA-10s are expected to be swapped out for T-II airframes by the end of the year.
The deployment also marks the first operational deployment of the FA-15SE Vampire which of which all 12 in the inventory have been deployed (31Sqn)
Also deployed for the first time is the RH-11 mosquito rotary-wing UAV (based on the EC120) which are being used to patrol between Yantai and Dalian
