April 5631 | Kafuristan modernizes air force, grants Hutori temporary air basing rights.

Commander of the Kafuri Air Force, General Nizaar al-Ghazal, announced that the Hutorian government had requested temporary basing rights at General Hayder ibn Fathi al-Kader Air Base, commonly called al-Kader Air Base, should tensions with Deltaria increase in the region. The Kafuri and Hutorian governments have maintained cordial relations and Hutorian forces have often trained and cooperated with Kafuri forces over the years. The approval was given after a meeting between His Majesty, King Jalal II, General al-Ghazal, the Chief Minister and the Hutorian ambassador. In exchange, the Hutorian government will renew training and support agreements with the Kafuri Armed Forces and once again the Kafuri and Hutorian Armed Forces will train together, a massive boon for the Kafuri Armed Forces to have new training partners and support.

In addition, al-Ghazal announced that the 3rd Wing, stationed at al-Kader Air Base, would be receiving the new jointly produced J-10 fighter jets by Majatran Organization for Industrialization as part of a massive modernization effort. He announced that the 4th Wing would also be receiving these new aircraft. In recent years, following the Peninsula War, the Kafuri government had made upgrading and modernizing the Kafuri Air Force a major program. One of the key weaknesses that allowed such an aggressive invasion into Kafuri lands was the lack of modern aircraft and command and control. While the Kafuri's have dominated in the drone field, they have lacked behind in modernizing their aircraft.

The introduction of F-16 fighters from Lodamun, the increased production of the JF-17 and the new introduction of the J-10, the last two designed with Yingdalan firms, are potent increases for what Gath Defense Collective calls the "preeminent power" in Southeast Majatra.
