With the increase in Erusian military activity in the North Point region through out the day, ISAF has issued to all its military forces to be put on high alert and to be ready for any possible attack from the mainland that could come at anytime. There have been several events today that prompted the higher state of alert, but the two events that set ISAF scrambling were the shooting down of a navy F-14 over the Comona Islands and the interception of an Erusian air force bomber near Newfield Island. The first event took place over the Comona Islands today, when two Erusian SU-37’s penetrated Comona air space, a single F-14 from the Carrier Fort Grace on a routine combat air patrol in the area intercepted the two aircraft and made an attempt to escort it out of the area.

But the Erusian aircraft took an aggressive move and one of the aircraft shot down the ISAF navy aircraft. However it is good to report that both the pilot and his RIO (Radar intercept Officer) were able to safely eject from their stricken aircraft and were later picked up by a rescue helicopter from the carrier. The second event happened later, when an ISAF A-10 out of Allenfort air base intercepted an Erusian TU-95 bomber near Newfield, though in this event there were no aggressive acts taken by the Erusian aircraft, it was becoming aparent that something is going to take place. So to increase it’s fighter strength at Allenfort, ISAF has dispatched it’s newly formed fighter squadron Mobius to provide additional support.

The Government in North Point has issued a curfew starting at 6:pm this evening and a complete mandatory black out for all of Newfield Island, Commander Robert Taylor said that the next four to six hours will be tense as we do not know for sure if this is a prelude to an attack or just a show of force, it is hard to say. Tensions have already been high since the fall of the mainland and with these recent actions, it has only increased the fear and anxiety of what may come, it is certain that ISAF command will not be sleeping easy tonight.
