Well, we are not folding our tents and going home. Fundamentally, we are going to sharpen our message to our constituency and represent it. We expect as the Union redefines itself we will see a number of issues where our position is in sharp contrast to theirs.
Further we are not underestimating the Communists. Not by any means. They are growing and know their constituency. We are quite prepared to be the opposition. And we are planning to be a responsible opposition. The strength and prosperity of Deltarska Federacija is what our supporters want.
A positive thing from our perspective is we had a deal on federalism with the Union. With no more deal we are free to evaluate whether federalism or centralized government is the better approach. DNS is looking at this question with an open mind.
Thanks to our private and state partners we have been able to develop a new Heads Up Display (HUD) to be used by the pilot to get a better understanding of his surroundings. More important however are the changes to the aircraft itself. Modularity was a big goal for the 30DK, with the Ministry of Defense basically telling us they needed a aircraft they could use for a variety of missions. We have made sure the 30DK can be configured as a air superiority fighter and a multirole fighter in a support role. The electronic warfare (EW) systems, phased array radars, and optical-location systems with laser rangefinder have all been modernized compared to the older SU-30. In contrast to the SU-30, the 30DK can also be confired in a SEAD role, capable of carrying anti-radiation missiles and jamming pods. The targetting pod is a joint project between us and Pajić Avionics, being more capable and resilient then the targetting pod on our MiG-29's. All in all this is a highly configurable aircraft that will be a significant step up from previous aircraft weve developed and will be a highly valued additional in air defense and ground support.
DNS has long felt revival of the MA was desirable but faced really long odds. DNS not only applauds the efforts of the Union to revive the MA but believe they have sparked some actual interest and discussion. We support them in this.
Our thinking after reviewing comments from various participants in the conference on MA is that something that might fly would be a free trade zone where a Majatran participant could have all or some of their imports and exports included. Some Majatran nations have industries they want protected for historical, cultural or economic reasons which need to be respected. Should such a measure succeed we could look at the conceivable benefits of a common currency.
In any event, DNS does support the Union in this regard.
