CLAIRON PICARDMinister of Defense d'ArmagnacNAVAL AIR PURCHASESDefense Ministry, October 19, 5097: The Chief of Naval Operations and his immediate staff met with Defense Minister Honore d”Armagnac and Defense Ministry and National Defense Staff concerning adding some anti ship aircraft and possibly some air superiority units to the 50th Naval Air Wing (Escadre) currently containing two squadrons (escadrons) of anti submarine aircraft.
The Navy initially preferred adding a squadron of the Fantome 2000 D as an anti ship squadron and a squadron of Rafale F4.1 for air superiority. However, because of the difference in maximum speed the request has been modified to 15 of the Fantome 2000-5F fighter bombers manufactured by the Kanjorian Branch of Dimomt Aviation for the National Air Fforce and 15 of the Rafale F4.1 multirole fighters a variant produced in Kanjor by NPKDE, a Kanjor derivative of Canrillaise Defense Enterprises.
The 15 Fantome 2000-5F’s will be delivered over a seven year period and constitute the 10th Naval Air Squadron (Escadron) of the 50th Naval Air Wing (Escadre) responsible for air cover while the 15 Rafale F4.1’s produced over eight years will constitute the 15th Naval Air Squadron (Escadron) responsible for anti ship capacity.
