      DEFENSE MINISTRY: INDONESIA, IPDEC ENTERS OPEN CONFLICT WITH ISF SOUTH OF JAKARTA AS GERMAN MILITARY WEAPONRY ARRIVES

    Intelligence reports of an amassing ISF insurgence force south of Jakarta had been coming in for almost two weeks when a 3,500-strong Indonesian force and a 500-strong Bangladeshi force, supported by armored and air units, entered open combat with the ISF south of Jakarta. The Defense Ministry dispatched an additional 1,000 Indonesian troops and 250 Bangladeshi troops to the city of Sukabumi, 63 kilometers south of Jakarta. Airstrikes damaged ISF forward positions southeast of Sukabumi, while Indonesian armored positions dug in to prepare for an ISF attack. An air squadron of 6 F-16 Fighting Falcons bombed an ISF outpost southeast of Sukabumi, inflicting heavy casualties and destroying defensive artillery positions. A 650-strong joint military force advanced with 4 T-14 Armata heavy tanks into ISF territory. After a few minutes, an anti-tank missile destroyed a T-14 Armata, killing five troops along with it. Reinforcements moved southwards towards their allies in distress, while fighter jets up above assault ISF missile batteries. For almost two days, IPDEC and ISF forces were locked in a firefight only kilometers from Sukabumi. The mayor of Sukabumi City declared a state of emergency after an ISF missile battery destroyed an apartment building, killing 37 civilians. Anti-missile defense systems were brought in to defend the city as the National Guard established defensive positions on the city outskirts. On April 18, 2024, Panavia Tornado IDS and Eurofighter Typhoon jets, 35 in total, arrived at Denpasar Air Force Base. 10 Boxer MRAV APCs arrived on April 20, and the new weaponry were put into action. The Panavia Tornado jets bombed known ISF non-civilian hideouts all over South Borneo, Java and the island of Lambok. 3 Eurofighter Typhoons were deployed to conduct close air support sorties for the 21st Infantry Division and a Bangladeshi infantry force, fighting an ISF hideout near Pontianak. 350 troops were stationed at the Borneo Space Center to protect the important launch site, while 6 Eurofighter Typhoons were stationed at Pontianak Airport. By April 21, the first batch of Leopard 2A7 heavy tanks arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International at Jakarta. The Defense Ministry is reportedly preparing to launch a widescale military operation to obliderate the ISF once and for all.

        FOREIGN MINISTRY: IPDEC AND JAPAN TO CONDUCT JOINT NAVAL DRILLS NEAR NORTH BORNEO TO ENSURE CONTINUATION OF PEACE IN ASIA

      In the Chancellery's first move in relation to their new foreign policy, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry announced a series of joint naval drills between the Empire of Japan and the Indo-Pacific Defense and Economic Collective (IPDEC). The announcement came as a result of renewed Japan-Korea tensions, after Seoul labelled the Japanese control of North Borneo an occupation, sparking renewed tensions and the possibility of armed conflict. In order to maintain peace and stability in the region, the IPDEC has agreed to a series of joint naval drills in the seas around North Borneo, the Japanese territory at the center of the current situation. The Empire of Japan will mobilize 20 warships to participate in the exercise, Indonesia 30 warships, while other IPDEC nations continue to deliberate their warship numbers. Indonesia's INS Fajar aircraft carrier will be participating in the exercise, as well as some of the country's strongest naval vessels. The Foreign Ministry has urged Seoul and Tokyo to reconcile 'before its too late', while the High Chancellor, Anetta Komarudin, maintains the fact that the naval drills are only to consolidate peace and prosperity in the region. Foreign Minister Reto Marsudi said, 'these naval drills with the Empire of Japan will not only secure the continuation of peace in the region, but it will also warm relations between Japan and the IPDEC. We will show the world that we can work together, and set aside our differences'. Although Indonesia is apparently siding with Japan, Jakarta still hopes to maintain friendly relations with Seoul.

        How To Feed The World In The Modern Age

      | The Benelux Federation's food products are consumed throughout the world. Automated machinery in the late 90s and early 2000s helped propel a country with a land mass smaller than the state of Virginia to become the world’s second-biggest food exporter after the U.S., with agri-food exports worth more than $100 billion back in 2019. Technologies such as the continuous automated pepper picker have proved consequential to the Federation's ability to keep up with the growing demand for food around the world. The robot is able to harvest a pepper in 15 seconds and is expected to be on sale for international farmers within the next three to four years. While humans can pick peppers quicker, the robots can work nonstop and overnight. They are just one of a wave of machines now taking over mundane farming tasks in the Netherlands, including harvesting, and fruit and vegetable picking, with almost $1 billion spent on innovation last year by the sector. |

      | How can the Benelux ensure access to a sufficient supply of healthy, diverse, and safe foods for a growing global population – while limiting the impact on the environment and coping with climate change? This is one of the key challenges of this century. Innovation in global agriculture is a central part of the solution. In the Federation, the solution is simple, climate controlled smart greenhouses. These greenhouses, which many experts say are the future of farming, are connected to solar panels which power the artificial lights within the individual greenhouses and their climate control systems. In addition, they are almost completely automated, meaning the monitoring of the cultivation of crops via drones, helps provide detailed readings on soil chemistry, water content, nutrients, and growth without the need of a human. Almost two decades ago, the Benelux made a Federal commitment to sustainable agriculture under the rallying cry "Twice as much food using half as many resources." Since 2000, the local farmers have reduced dependence on water for key crops by as much as 90% and almost completely eliminated the use of chemical pesticides on plants in greenhouses. Since 2009, the local producers have cut their use of antibiotics by as much as 60%. More than a quarter the Federation's land area is used for agriculture and horticulture. These greenhouses are a testament to Federation ingenuity and innovation. Some of them cover an area of 175 acres (0.7 km2). With 80% of cultivated land being under greenhouse glass, crops can grow around the clock and in every kind of weather in these climate-controlled farms. |

      |The collaboration between academics and entrepreneurs is a key driver of Benelux innovation. The brain trust behind these impressive numbers is centered at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), which is considered the world's top agricultural research institution and is located 50 miles southeast of Amsterdam. Ernst van den Ende, managing director of WUR's Plant Sciences Group, points out the importance of sustainable farming and that the world must produce more food in the next four decades than all the farmers in history have harvested over the past 8,000 years to keep up with the ever growing global population and with it, the food they require. It is the hope of the Benelux to lead a new wave of agricultural innovation and insure that everyone around the world has the opportunity consume good quality and healthy food.|

      King Hussein of Jordan Blasts AFS Foreign Policy
      ___________

      The young King of Jordan has proved mostly silent since relinquishing executive authority as King to Omar Razazz as Regent of Jordan, who also serves as Vice President of the Federacy. That silence changed shortly after the adoption of the Five Front Principle when the King accepted an interview with Jordan Radio and TV Corp. During the interview, he blasted the foreign policy, referring to it as ‘complacency masked as action.’

      The interview started fairly normally, with interviewer Rana Husseini asking him routine questions about his life since retreating from public life, his marriage to Yasmine of Iran, and the prospect of a son. When the topic of rising Middle Eastern tensions was raised, however, the conversation derailed. Hussein expressed great concern at what has already been termed the Arab Arms Race and warned that ’A new cold war is coming to the Middle East, one that could lead to ruin for the region.’ When asked about the Arab States' place in this new conflict, Hussein took a solemn tone, sighing and stroking his beard. He responds:

        ”The Five Fronts Principle, though briefly adequate, is outliving its usefulness. Withholding action in the region was the right decision for the unstable political realignment in 2023 and 24. But with alliances emerging between Arabia and Iran, and Egypt and Galla? Riyadh and Tehran have been long-term partners of the Arab States and this cannot be forgotten. Iran helped create the safe, stable, Jordan we know of today. Saudi Arabia is a true friend to the Arab World. Will neutrality truly benefit Arabs in the long run? Or are we abandoning our partners? I think so.”

      By now the King is visibly upset, scowling and red in the face.

        ”And for what? To maintain ties with a tinpot dictator, a slave of foreign powers? Forgive me for suggesting that perhaps Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is not a man worth our time! Is this so crazy?... President Khalil is a dear friend of mine and the true defender of Pan-Arabism. But our foreign policy MUST adjust to the realities of the time. I implore him to reconsider things. That is all I have to say.”

      The interview ended soon thereafter in a notably tense tone. The clip blew up on social media, shared millions of times on Facebook and Instagram. It also sparked rumors of a personal rift between President Khalil and Hussein, who have been considered long-time allies and personal friends. In a press conference, Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi disavowed the statements saying, ”King Hussein does not speak for this Administration and his words do not constitute a stance on the part of the Arab States.”

      Turkey into Sudan
      Turkey invests into Suakin, starts constructing resorts and new infrastructure

      By Ahmet Altan | APRIL 2024

      ______________________________________

          | SUAKIN | - The island town of Suakin, in north-eastern Sudan, was an important port for trade and culture on the East African coast for centuries. The town is located on a flat, oval-shaped island, on the west coast of the Red Sea, inside a narrow inlet that penetrates four kilometer inland and ends in a wide basin about two kilometers across. There are two round coral islands in the shallow basin. One of the islands is deserted and contains nothing but a cemetery. The other island to the south is the site of Suakin. The island is connected to the mainland by a short man-made causeway. The Mainland is fairly populated but with some what poor infrastructure, Turkey and Sudan has made a partnership to revive this once forgotten city.

          Today, the island is nothing more than a collection of ruins. Its once-beautiful buildings made of spectacular coral stone are at risk of collapse. Even among the crumbling ruins you can see a rich mixture of different cultures, from Venetian to Ottoman, visible in the city’s architectural diversity. Turkey and Sudan will work together to reconstruct these buildings to preserve history and a new place for tourism. Roads will be newly paved, Turkish Hotels and resorts will be constructed, and an improved and upgraded civilian port.

          This is the master plan to revive the small city;

      OOC: Why I haven't been posting

      Just so you guys don't think I've quit or died I'm telling you that I'm sorry for not posting in 10 days. I already have a bad posting schedule even without having to also do schoolwork. The thing is that for like 2 weeks I've had this message from my phone saying that the File Limit was reached. So I haven't posted anything except for 1 or 2 new posts since then cause I thought my phone would die at any moment.

      I'm going to get a new phone and do some other stuff to get rid of the problem soon. However, don't expect me to post anything for the next 3-4 days until I get everything back to normal. I actually have a document written on my school computer of a post, but the cable that was my only way to transfer stuff from my computer to my phone isn't working. I'm thinking of trying to ask the school administrators to let me share it with my phone.

      So yeah, I'm sorry for not posting in so long and that I won't be posting for a few more days. I just wanted you guys to know all of that so you don't think I'm gone.

          MINISTRY OF THE ARMED FORCES: FRENCH AIR FORCE UNVEILS DASSAULT MIRAGE X AND MBDA CRUISE MISSILES
          VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2024

        | HELM OF SÈCURITÈ, MINISTÈRE DES FORCES ARMÉES - | While France continues making strides in security related affairs and advancements in military hardware, a longtime emblem of French military might and symbol of firepower has come back to life over years of development and testing trials. Since 2017 the French aerospace industry Dassault Aviation has been working hard to produce a modern variant of Mirage fighter jet. It is no doubt a technological and military feat for the growing French military industrial complex. While it was originally thought of before the recent Eurofighter II came to life, it does accomodate many of the same features and capabilities such as the use of the Dassault nEUROn drones as remote carriers to increase mission effectiveness and survivability. The Dassault Mirage X was first debuted at the Paris Airshow back in 2020 but has since undergone several new tests and re-engineering of certain components. Its stealth capabilities have been unmatched by most of France's current aircraft including the Eurofighter II. The Dassault Mirage X is to enter active service following one more combat test, after which Dassault has already secured a €30 billion Euro contract to supply up to 200 aircraft to the French Air Force. The Defense Ministry is seen to favour the new domestically developed and produced aircraft over the multinational Eurofighter II project which is more expensive altogether. The new fighter will also utilize MBDA's new supersonic and subsonic joint strike cruise missile variants. |

        Dassault Mirage X Killswitch

        Name of Aircraft: Dassault Mirage X

        Date of Project Launch: April 2017
        Produced: 13 July 2023 - ongoing
        Number Built: 700

        Project Costs: €80 billion euros


        Unit Costs: €120 million euros


        Completion Status: ███████████░

        The Dassault Mirage X Killswitch was an effort by France's Dassault aviation industry to recreate the famous Mirage aircraft into a domestically designed and produced sixth-generation combat aircraft. Serving much in the same capacity as that of the new Eurofighter II sixth-gen fighter, the Dassault Mirage X would also incorporate the use of drones or remote carriers. Having successfully created and developed the Dassault NEURON drone individually, it would be incorporated into the avionics and computer of the aircraft for airspace interdiction missions. Since the start of 2017 the project has been working on the stealth multi-role fighter known as the Dassault Mirage X Killswitch.

        Early Planning Stages

        Starting out in early 2017, plans for the Dassault Mirage became a reality with 2 prototype aircrafts being produced by mid 2019. From that point on the best scientist and engineers from France began working with the stealthy air frame to incorporate the best avionic and sensors to date with a high-tech module and heads up display for the pilot. The designing of the aircraft's computer alone took 5 whole years. Taking notes from the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, plans were added to make the aircraft capable of short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL). Once everything had been put together it was time for flight testing and then onto combat scenario testing. The aircraft would make its first debut at the 2022 Paris Airshow. With the combat testing of the Dassault Mirage X being a resounding success, French commanders in the Air Force persuaded the Government to allocate funding for up to 680 Dassault Mirage X's in hopes of using the cheaper, domestically designed and produced aircraft over the slightly more expensive Eurofighter II which had already entered active service.

      Scheffner is losing popularity. A reschuffle of Government seems to be approaching

      BERLIN - [...] According to a new poll from FFZ, Scheffner lost nearly 12 points of popularity since her election in 2015. There are many reasons to explain it but a lot of it comes from successive Government mishaps and scandals not only internationally but also in national affairs. However, the opposition, mostly the SPD and DIE LINKE do not seem to find common ground to make any threat to a future reelection of Scheffner. A lot of rumors are now increasing of a possible Government reschuffle kicking out nearly 4 ministers with new ones.

      MILITARY AND DEFENSE REVIEW

      The German Army is losing interest. What to do ?

      NUREMBERG - At the recruitment agency of the Bundeswehr in Nuremberg, the news are not good. Ulrich Basten shows the recruitment sheet for the year 2023. "Only 239 people got recruited this year for full time. A lot more reservists however with 1340 but still, it is extremely low". This sentiment is now accross the board for the Ministry of Defense. In just two years, the recruitment level fell by 12% with the German Army reducing its numbers from 650 000 to 510 000. At this rate, the Bundeswehr may go back as low as 230 000, a level not seen since 1965.

      General Von Nielsen has expressed his anger about the situation calling Germans a "bunch of cowards and unpatriotic entitled millennials". But this anger backfired on social media in insults against what could be considered a hero of the modern German Army.

      Greta Scheffner has also expressed her concern. "Clearly, we are seeing German society not understanding why the German army should be this high in numbers. The war society I had in 2015 is slowly leaving into a peace society which for us, is not justified".

      Messerschmits new jet crashes on test flight in front of thousand of investors

      BERLIN - It was shock beyond description this morning when a ball of fire erupted behind the trees of the runway of Schönfeld airfield. The MeC190 that was supposed to perform a test flight of 20mn crashed upon takeoff apparently stalling. The investigation has begun for the EASA but experts suggest pilot error and poor preparation rather than faulty aircraft design.

      Treason at the Homeland?

      Upon the recent announcement of the French Dassault X, the Imperial government felt outrageous with the French government. In the eyes of the Empire the French project used the knowledge produced for the Eurofighter II colaboration for the improvement of an aircraft that would only benefit the French but not all it allies. The situation get's worse as the announcement of the French military to favor the Dassault plane instead the European one. Many have pointed this as a treason of France against the European spirit.

      With this in mind the Imperial government have officially deniunced France and Dassault in the Court of Justice of the European Union, accusing both of protectionist policies and illegal appropriation of technology and knowledge.

          Land, Air, and Sea:
          As the ISF grows its strength and mounts a substantial resistance against Indonesian and IPDEC troops, the army and air force launch new strategies to combat the threat.


          The Indonesian Air Force (IAF)'s First Air Squadron, consisting of seven F-16 Fighting Falcons, fly to their target on the eastern tip of Java, Indonesia.

          By Ardur Wardoyo | April 2023

          ______________________________________

              JAKARTA — As the war on the Islamic Salvation Front (ISF) continues in Indonesia, the military seems to have taken a different, and possibly more effective, strategy to defeat ISF forces, who are rapidly organizing themselves to better defend themselves against Indonesia-IPDEC troops. The Defense Ministry revealed their new tactic of airstrikes, bombing, and air superiority and intelligence to obliterate ISF positions south of Jakarta.

              As a result of this, Indonesia has begun a rapid procurement of newer and better multirole combat fighters, such as the KAI KF-21 from Korea and the Eurofighter Typhoon and Panavia Tornado IDS from Germany. Plans to purchase F-16V Vipers and V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft from the United States are rumored, but have not yet been confirmed. In mid-April, German air and land weaponry arrived to support the fight against the ISF on a lend-lease agreement. According to the deal signed between Berlin and Jakarta, 10 Panavia Tornado IDS fighters, 25 Eurofighter Typhoon fighters, as well as 10 Boxer MRAVs and 15 Leopard 2A7 heavy tanks were lent to the Indonesian military for free. Once the ISF has been defeated or crippled, Indonesia shall pay Germany for the official transferring of ownership of the weapons to Indonesia.

              Over a course of five days from April 17 to April 22, Eurofighter Typhoons, Panavia Tornadoes and F-16 fighters airstriked, bombed, and fired upon ISF positions preventing an Indonesian motorized force from closing the gap to surround a large ISF force south of Jakarta. The airstrikes were successful, and almost 650 ISF insurgents and a large stockpile of weapons were captured. Four mobile missile batteries were also captured, and were immediately turned against ISF frontline positions 5 kilometers south. Air strikes continued on known ISF non-civilian positions, but some in the government have expressed concern of the possibility of civilian hostages being held at these sites.

              "We must take great caution when carelessly bombing ISF targets, for we do not know what lies within", stated an Air Force spokesperson. The Air Force Command began classified operations with the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the complete nature of which remains unknown. Three civilian hostages were rescued from an ISF-occupied outpost only three minutes before an airstrike hit the site. Airstrikes were subsequently scaled down to reduce civilian casualties, but aerial attacks on ISF missile and artillery batteries, as well as imminent ISF threats. Indonesian long-range missile batteries also fired upon ISF positions, to further stun the enemy and their capability to fight back.

              As the Indonesian military and her IPDEC allies continue to fight against the ISF menace, however, intelligence reports suggested a massive ISF strike at Sukabumi, where only 1,250 troops and 23 tanks were stationed. On April 21, a reconnaissance satellite spotted ISF transport trucks, MG pickup trucks, as well as ISF missile batteries. Infantry scrambled to take up defensive positions, but was too late. By April 23, after two days of gunfighting, half of Sukabumi City was occupied by ISF insurgents, who were skilled in urban combat. Air Force airstrikes on the city were prohibited due to the large civilian population, and the military prepares to launch a 6,500 man operation to recapture the city from the 3,450 ISF insurgents stationed there.

              Meanwhile in Indonesian waters, the Navy has been hard at work patrolling and escorting high-capacity and high-risk vessels passing through the Java Sea. Indonesian destroyers routinely assault ISF ships, rafts, and other sea vessels. The INS Fajar aircraft carrier was attacked by an ISF vessel on April 19, but the attack was repelled by three cruisers and five destroyers which sunk the vessel. ISF war plans were found onboard, and were sent to Jakarta for review. Indonesia and IPDEC naval patrols in Indonesia's waters continue, after fourteen foiled ISF attempts to hijack both cargo and passenger vessels were reported.
