AeroVianu takes two factories over from Mahati
Săteni & Trei Rauri - The Kizenian company AeroVianu has placed a bid on the two main factories in Trei Raury. The two factories were responsible for building the failed PF-26's, and are outfitted with equipment to build most things neccesary for a fighter.
AeroVianu is an old company, located in Săteni, which specialised in small aircraft for the private market. Although they often helped Mahati producing some parts, it has never build a plane for the military. AereVianu has told our reporters that they will not restart the PF-26 project, which means that only 100 PF-26's will ever be in service.
AeroVianu has refused to comment on the question wether they will now start building fighters. With the New Endrolian/Kizenian military in desperate need of planes, it might be a great business oppurtunity.

Cetatea Albâ - Defense contractor KIZARM and the Kizenian Government's Defense Department reached a deal worth more than 800 million for 155mm Lightweight Towed Howitzer ammunition. "Kizarm demonstrates the innovative approaches embraced by Kizenian companies to ensure our military is equipped with the best capabilities in the world," said Kizenian Minister of Defense Vincze Márió in a press statement.
"This ammunition will replace an aging ammunition stock, providing increased range and lethality, as well as a greater range of effects such as infrared illumination to enhance the army's advanced night fighting capability."
In addition to providing Howitzer ammunition that has a maximum range of between 14 miles and 26 miles, depending on the type of round, KIZARM is exploring additional opportunities for domestic manufacturing of other types of 155mm ammunition, according to a press statement. Kizenia used to buy ammunition from foreign suppliers, but now their own industry can also provide the ammunition.
"This is an exciting new market for Kizenian defense industry and we hope after successful qualification of the ammunition, industry can start making the training rounds locally," said Márió.
