Sato unveils new line of coastal defence Yeudicho ASBMs together with Pontesian manufacturers 

July 5579

Amshinov, North Bank - Triggered and rather expedited since the onset of the Istalian-Pontesian conflict, the research and development defence contract issued by a joint decision between the Nisrad of Yishelem and Melikvan a few years back seems to have reached its testing phase according to Sato's CEO, who unveiled a new anti-ship ballistic missile weapons system in the Equifund's expo in Himmelshtern last month.

Dubbed the "Yeudicho ASBM" in reference to the long line of Yeudicho ICBMs, IRBMs and the decoy-capable Yeudicho 8, the new technology hedges its bets on kinetic energy. The difference between cruise and ballistic missiles is that the latter may use rockets for initial propulsion, but afterwards follows an unpowered trajectory on its arch upwards and its final descend onto a target.

Albeit rendering precision strikes on moving warships a rather impossible achievement - especially outside a theatre-range distance, stationary vessels such as in the case of Istalia's recent invasion attempt of Pontesi, will have a harder time deterring Yeudicho ASBMs than cruise missiles.

A multi-billion joint contract issued by both Beiteynu and Pontesi will be awarded to Sato (and Black Beisa) and its Pontesian research and development partners, to install several of these weapons systems on the mountainous border between the two nations.

Operational command will fall to the Hosheh (under the Beiteynuese navy), which will coordinate directly with the Octagon in Pontesi.
