ASFK Creates Two New Subsidiaries

17 August 5635 | Kivonia, Davostag

 

In the aftermath of the Davostag-NEC trade deal, the ASFK, abbreviated from Allstatliga försvarskompaniet ("All-State Defence Company"), which is a state-owned defence company in Davostag responsible for managing the entire arms industry in the country, created Trimanner Produktioner Aktiebolag ("Trimanner Productions Limited"), also known as TRIPA, to oversee and manage the design and production of the acquired NEC former military products and blueprints in Davostager-style. While officials from ASFK have stated that due to strains on the budget will result in the acquired products to see the light of the day for quite some time, there are reports that certain parts are being singled out to begin production any time now. One such would be the Trigunian multirole Mil Mi-8, in the Davostager variation and design named as Rotvingeplan M08 "Kåra", with the Ministry of Defence ordering a total of eight to be produced in the coming months. Two other products that have been given special attention to be produced in a limited amount in the coming year are the Mil Mi-28, renamed Rotvingeplan 60 "Gunn"; and the Tu-160M2, renamed Markovic 150; with seven and five to be produced respectively. No official public report exists on any upcoming naval production with the new designs involved.
 
But it is not just Trimanner that has been created, but now this month, engineers from ASFK and in other departments especially the Ministry of Defence-controlled State Defence Industry Agency (Stafet), have revealed several new blueprints for two new frigates, four patrol vessels and a motorboat. The Chairman and CEO of ASFK, Isak Lorring, announced that with these new designs, a new, but smaller, subsidiary of the company would created, known as Dahleriska Avdelningarna AB ("Dahlerian Divisions Ltd"), named after late rikspresident Gustav Dahler. He did reiterate the statement from other company and state officials that it will take some time until these new designs come to be, but that "patience is a good virtue of the Davostagers". Despite that, there seems to be no stopping the company from putting them to production in the coming time, as we have been able to review the designs and concept art, with all of them looking ready to be deployed. The frigates have been designated Gustav Dahler-class frigate and Augustine-class frigate, the latter after Erika af Augustine, the long serving chancellor governing Davostag between 4875–4920; the patrol vessels have been designated Thorsen-class patrol vessel, Wall-Enberg-class patrol vessel, Evylin-class patrol vessel, and Svalvík-class patrol vessel, all named after the Thorsen dynasty, Pär Wall-Enberg (Supreme Chairman between 4796–4805), Noble Princeps Evylin I (Monarch between 4631–4644, 4656–4661), and Svalvík the northern Davostager city.
