@Griffon1 Confidential. Only to be opened by Phoenix Industries on approval of the Accilian Republic government
Good day/evening, Phoenix Industries. Phase Alpha of the AF-08 test flight has been completed.
.
The aircraft had passed general first flights with flying colors, especially in the dogfighting phase. However, there is one aspect that it failed to pull through in. The guns only fight. Excess instability at low speeds led to bursts straying off lead in final gun solution adjustment to target. Choice of ballistic weapons further contributed to the aircraft's poor performance in this specific aspect of the rigorous combat tests. Overall, the new fighter garnered a solid 6/10 in first flights and sorties, with, again, the guns only test being its weakpoint, as always there's a chance that an old fashioned man to man encounter in the skies will come into play.
.
Regarding the mechanical, electrical, and digital complexity of this prototype, it should be of little problem. We here in FlightArms CAC specialize in overhauling complex airframes, simplifying, and improving them. Plenty of wiring, gears, and hydraulics will be either removed or relocated to reduce confusion in repairs and maintenance, and the internal computers will be replaced by a centralized mini mainframe for further complexity reduction.
.
As soon as a finished iteration of the AF-08 airframe is released, which will be designated as XF-08, you will be notified of it for your own tests and evaluation. Until then, we will continue thorough research on this advanced fighter.

Good day/evening to you, Phoenix Industries. We have received news from our friends in the intelligence corps of this advanced tactical fighter. The X-F wings are interested in subjecting this aircraft to high level tests for possible allocation in our future 6th Generation Fighter Program. And on behalf of FlightArms CAC, they would like to send a request for joint development of the AF-08 with the benefit of shared upgrades and innovations in general.
.
Should this message be rejected or intercepted, it will automatically destroy its data to prevent enemy discovery regarding the treaty/request. TFM will deny having any message of this type sent to you and the Accilian Republic.
.
You can only reply once.

Are these missiles able to be fitted into the internal bays of our F-22E's? Or externally on hardpoints only?
-TFM Research and Development Aviation Department
@MrOofington Yellow alert is still in effect. All active units are keeping watch for threats. International branches of the TFM are also notified of this and are under Yellow Alert as well.
-TFM Central Command
@Joshflan10 Elements of the Buzzer and Raider squadrons have been scrambled. We have you in our GPS and SAR screens. Medevac Squadron 5 has been deployed, ETA 55 seconds. We got your back.
-TFM Central Command
@Joshflan10 Your forces should have sent a distress call. State your location and we will have air, naval, and ground forces sent to you regardless of distance, should you need them at all. Alert units are always on standby.
-TFM Central Command
@Joshflan10 We are now under yellow alert. All stationed units are prepared for any attack that may come from this hostile PMC group. Ground units have been mobilized and will conduct patrols around and within all TFM-held areas.
.
Rebels within the Krakabloan Archipelago watched over by both TFM and locals in case they make moves. All reports of hostile force mobilization will be met with direct combat.
-TFM Central Command
@MrOofington TFM REPORT ON WIAF BOMBING RUN OVER SNOWSTONE Hornet's Nest airpower has been neutralized by NCS-101 strike fighters. Tu-95 callsign Matryoshka has successfully destroyed enemy airfield with one run. The 401st Airborne Division has been dropped over the airfield to clear out remaining ground hostiles there.
.
Snowstone Harbor has been destroyed by Tu-95 callsign Dasha at 0800. Several coastal structures have not been damaged and were cleared by the 8th TFA Winter Infantry Battalion of civilians and hostiles. The 208th Mountaineers will occupy the area until your navy and marines arrive. Until then, Snowstone Harbor is under TFM control.
@AtlasMilitaryIndustries That will be very much appreciated. How many units are you lending to the TFMGAC? Yeager Airbase is the location for the delivery.
-TFM Central Command
@Joshflan10 Denied. All activities conducted on codename Octo are for the creature's protection. You are not allied with the Tactical Forces Military. Any presence of your aircraft or water vessels will be met with our own opening fire to sink or down your vehicles. We have more than enough already keeping the sea dweller alive and away from potential threats to it's existence. Any more and codename Octo will go hostile.
.
We repeat. Your request for authorization has been denied, and any unauthorized vessel entering within the 5 nautical mile exclusion zone WILL BE SUNK or any unauthorized aircraft flying in WILL BE SHOT DOWN.
.
Regarding Bandit Airbase, that airfield is occupied and owned by the Tactical Forces Military and serves as a training airfield for our new aviators. There are no threats there whatsoever. The Krakabloan Archipelago and all locals that inhabit it is under watch and protection of the Tactical Forces Military.
@MrOofington YOU ARE ATTACKING A TACTICAL FORCES AIRFIELD. WE HAVE AVALANCHE AIRBASE OCCUPIED AND OUR SPECTER SQUADRONS PERMANENTLY STATIONED THERE reconfirm that you have the CORRECT TARGET from your reconnaissance runs. Avalanche Airbase is occupied and owned by us, the Tactical Forces Military. Your spy planes may have misidentified their target. I say again, Avalanche Airbase is one of ours. Reroute your bombers for now. We will conduct an emergency recon sortie over the island to search for your targets as secondary confirmation. Aerial tankers stationed at Yeager Airbase will fly to meet your bombers so their air time will be extended for detour as our U-2s send live imagery to your command and control aircraft.
.
Valkyries of the 173rd CW are on their way to meet your strike package, plus the B-2A Neo Spirit of Accilia to participate in the bombing run. Buzzer Hornets from TFNS Redemption will harass the enemy positions with low supersonic flights and destroy or disrupt high level air defense with electronic weapons or missiles at in their positions to prevent your Tu-95s and TF-90s from being shot down, should such air defenses be present at all. Recon reports will give the answer.
@MrOofington Be advised that ALL flights or visits regarding codename Octo are to be first approved by TFM Central Command before being executed. We are the prime watchers and guardians of the primordial sea dweller and as such, we are responsible for all actions taken on, and for the creature.
.
State locations of your Tu-95 targets in Snowstone. We received no reports of threats over the past weeks and it is possible they may not have been spotted by our U-2D Spy Planes in their routine surveillance flights. B-2A Spirit of Accilia will be deployed escorted by elements of the 173rd Combat Wing's Sunrise Squadron to join in with your bomber formations.
.
@AtlasMilitaryIndustries TFM A.P.S.E.D has received your sent personnel, equipment, and observation aircraft at the main airstrip of the 01-D1 site. We have just lost an A-1B observation flight over ground zero due to downdrafts sending the plane into a spiral. Both pilots are considered dead after disappearing into the black field. Those autonomous observers are of great value now. We can no longer afford losing more men and women in this 4 decade long unsolved problem, but we will not leave the site until the anomaly has been neutralized and the residents of this island have been returned with peace once more upon them beyond the next generation of their people.
@MrOofington To reiterate codename Octo's status. Octo is NOT a threat. DO NOT set up or plan any retaliatory strikes against the creature. It CAN sense underlying intentions, thought or physical. Your protocols and decisions are jeopardizing the 25 year built genuine bond between the Tactical Forces and the sea dweller. Stand down and CANCEL ALL PLANNED RETALIATORY STRIKES. Codename Octo is a negative threat and should not be given a hint of counter assaults. We say again: THE CREATURE CAN SENSE YOU AND WILL BE ALARMED BY YOUR ACTIONS
-TFM Central Command
@AtlasMilitaryIndustries You have been granted Class 6 permission on behalf of the TFM Central Command. Ours and the Wright Isles Navy's personnel await your sent units. Be advised, it is mandatory that ALL vehicles are to come equipped with Beamshield II energy protection devices or any energy shield generators of the same capacity as radiation waves of unknown composition, likely believed to be high level X-rays, are pulsed out from ground zero at unpredictable intervals. All allied personnel are to be equipped with protective suits with Targe Personal Shield Batteries or any personal shield device of same capacity before stepping onto incident site.
We have lost 73 operators to the random unknown radiation pulses and 25 after disappearing inside ground zero while conducting tests and surface observation. To this day, we have only mapped 0.3% of the central anomaly area.
-TFM Anomalous Paranormal and Scientific Events division
@MrOofington Request of Participation has been approved by Head Commander Gen. Robert Kingsley.
Negative on identification of Level 4 threat on codename Octo. Subject is neutral until provoked and has shown clear displays of trust to our operators. Do not and I repeat DO NOT take any provoking actions on codename Octo or years of building a mutual bond with the creature will be wasted.
@MrOofington 30 units are on the way for the WIMC. Codename Octo is under complete protection of the TFM A.P.S.E divisions. Your military is required to obtain Class 10 authority directly from Central Command AND the Head Commander Gen. Robert Kingsley before you are allowed to participate in the Observation of codename Octo at our Krakabloan offshore territories. As for Incident 01-D1, you are immediately granted by TFM Intelligence Class 4 access. You are permitted to send observation aircraft, equipment, and personnel to the anomalous island. TFM scientists and troopers are awaiting your sent people's arrival. We need all the help we can get in assessing the problem and hopefully, restore the island for it's surviving inhabitants that were forced to live away.
@MrOofington Denied. TFMGAC does not export the B-2A Neo Spirit bomber. And how the heck is your republic still not bankrupt from purchasing thousands of multi million dollar combat aircraft in such a short span of time
