OKL TAKING SOTERIA CAPACITY TO EXTEA
 
Defence Ministry, April 16, 5637: Defence Minister Maximillian von Kluge made the following announcement:
 

Oberkommando Luftwaffe (OKL) will begin delivering the Soteria Aerial Defense System to Etxea. Once fully operational, Soteria will be able to stop almost all aerial attacks.  There are those who created the system who suggest all could be stopped.  That is certainly true but one might consider that there is a lot of difference between stopping three curious drones looking for a target and reacting to 777 missiles unleashed in a short time frame. But when fully operational, almost all will be stopped.
 
The basic plan is for our Truppenwegger 310’s, our mainstay aerial transports, to carry the vehicles and equipment to Etxea heavily escorted by our HF- 16’s. There could well be some casualties from interception.  Dundorfische Hoch Logistik (DHL) and Donnerluft are ramping up to replace casualties so we can maintain our complement of mainstay aerial transports and multipurpose fighter bombers.
 
Given ideal circumstances, delivering everything necessary could be done in three or four months. But some of the vehicles and missiles and supporting equipment is still being produced. Vehicles by Fuchstal Elektrisch and missiles by Gebirgsmunition.  So considering interceptions in delivery and enemy disruptions of deployment, eleven to fourteen months is a reasonable timeline.
 
Soteria Batteries have four missile launcher vehicles and a command and fire control vehicle. Once enough batteries are deployed, the Pteradon ground segment will be assembled which has a spacelink to the satellites and a communications link to deployed batteries which will greatly enhance  the targeting guidance employed by the command and fire control unit to the missiles.
 
There are three types of these vertical launch missiles used. The A 15 and A 30 missiles are used for short and medium range aerial defense against combat aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters, cruise missiles, anti radiation missiles and even supersonic sea level anti ship missiles. The difference between the two is the amount of fuel used to attain different altitude levels.
 
The A 30 B missile is designed to also counter intercontinental ballistic missiles.
 
The Soteria Aerial Defense System can also be deployed on combat naval vessels, but that is not part of this operation.
