Taiwan acquires Lavi blueprints
(Taipei Times)

The Republic of Taiwan Air Force (ROTAF) has acquired the blueprints for Israel's Lavi fighter aircraft, according to a mid-level GIAI officer in Western Asia.

The news could have a profound effect on cross-strait relations, as China's next generation fighter, the J-10, is based on the airframe of the Lavi.

These rumours are confirmed by another officer in the ROTAF, who says Taiwan is "very close" to creating a working copy of the J-10 after years of intelligience gathering.

The ROTAF has issued a statement denying this.

The CPRD currently fields some sixty squadrons of East Islandian-made J-10, just across the Chinese border. A changing situation at home, much like uncertain relations with Taiwan, caused DaKhiem to take notice of speculation about a similar fighter capability falling into Taiwanese hands.

The Drapoel PAAF commented through one of its Captains on the non-threatening nature of an air force that could not even agree on its own capabilities. This in reference to ROTAF denials of specuation earlier backed by one of its own officers.

In response to the news of the leak, a GIAI representative expressed her opinions.

"It is of great concern to us that this information has been leaked and an investigation to locate the leak is now underway. We can safely say that the blueprints for other GIAI products are firmly secured and protected from such exposure, with the leak apparently occurring as the information's classification rating was erroneously down-graded to non-classified status. The plans have been restored to their proper classification and we are now looking for the perpetrator."

The People's Republic strongly protests this acquire of the Lavi fighter aircraft system technology, which the PLAAF currently employs as an heavily modified variant variant. If it is true, which seems is, we are afraid that we must conduct a small-scale "military exercise", composed of units from the PLA, the PLAAF, and the PLAN and including fighter aircraft such as the superior J-11 near the Taiwan strait. Live firings of various munitions (land attack) from land, air, or sea in the form of percision guided or ballistic missiles are expected.

However, this is just a percaution incase the Republic on Taiwan Islands decides to act "sneak". Rest assured, the forces on Taiwan will be no match for the people of PRC China, who will be willing to shed their blood and sacrifice their possessions to keep their diginity, and to keep the sovereignity of the Chinese motherland.

Taipei technology acqusition angers China
(Taipei Times)
The recent article regarding the Western Asian transfer of the Lavi plans have been confirmed by at least 4 confirmed sightings near the Kaohshing military facility.

Hundreds of military enthusiasts have flocked to Kaohshing and lingered outside the facility, hoping to catch a glimpse of the aircraft.

President Chen Shui Bian has dismissed PRC China's latest statement as "saber-rattling by violent warmongers". Political experts have noted that Chen would not have won the previous election without Beijing, as Taiwanese voters grew tired of the rhetoric and rallied around Chen. With only a few months due until the next election, this fiasco looks set to secure him victory.

Following the news of China's intention to begin exercises, Taipei has raised the warning level to orange, the highest since the 1995 Taiwan straits crisis. Daily overflights of major cities are now in full swing.

Sinoese Intelligence will monitor this situation closely as the Taiwanese are now copying our military technologies.

Sinoese JD-8 stealth spy planes will now conduct overflights in Taiwan to determine the nature of this development as we have strong indications to confirm that the Taiwanese Lavi prototype have made overflights.

The Armed Republic of Sino Military Junta is due to clarify the proliferation of a few JD-8s to PRC China for the ensured survival of Chinese territorial integrity.

On the eve of this crisis brewing, General Liu decides to make a call to the office of the only military officer in _Taiwan that he can trust- ROTA Col. Zhang. He picks up the receiver and dials the keypad, the line was not clear as he other side has yet to pick up. He checks to see that it's morning in Taipei. He waits patiently for the reply.

East Islandia protests the fact that Taiwan has acquired plans for the IAI Lavi; we would like to remind them that the Lavi is partially the base aircraft for the Chinese built J10 multi role fighter which forms the backbone of the Chinese air forces, and that acquiring such information without properly paying for them is a violation of international copyright laws.

Official communique from the EI Politburo

***********
In other news, the Islandian Chinese ultra-nationalist political party, Hsin Guo (Xin Guo, new nation in Chinese) has sent councilors to PRC China and Sino, offering to sell the latest variant of the J10, the NX-5 model, without permission from the company that manufactures it.

On a related aspect, S1 Systems Dynamix, whos CEO, Tan Weipu, is a known Taiwanese nationalist, has offered to sell to Taiwan several advanced J37S9 Mark V fighters, with Forward Swept Wing technology and various other advanced features. Should this deal go through, it would provide Taiwan with a highly capable fighter that can defeat stock J10s without various modifications to engines, targeting systems, and ECm suites. The Politburo, however, has been pressured by Hsin Guo and various other Chinese ultra-nationalist groups to intervene in the deal, and it remains to be seen what action will be taken.

Political analysts say that there will likely be a very negative backlash from Sino, as well as PRC China, and that Islandian forces based in PRC CHina may be expelled as a result of this. However, Premier Qu, who has returned from failed talks, has yet to comment on this issue; as usual, he has called for peace and understanding, as well as reaffirmed his support of the "one China, two nations" system.

The ARSAF is not willing to purchase the NX-5 as they already have the VTOL J-10B and the J-12s in stock.

The Armed Republic of Sino Military Junta is willing to work with Islandian Chinese sltra-nationalists.

Secretly IC:

Senior Sinoese embassy staff in Est Islandia has offered to suggest that Tan Weipu should be assasinated in a joint intelligence effort by Sinoese and Islandian agents.

"That's not such a good idea," Premier Qu replied. "Tan is well known, and his death would cause the ultra-Taiwanese nationalist party Free Taiwan to take power. Also, his company is very, very important to our economy. NOnetheless, he should not have acted without government permission, so rest assured that we will find a way to punish him.
"Likewise, we will also punish Hsin Guo for going behind another company's back with the offer to sell planes to other nations," Qu added.

However, ultra-nationalist Taiwanese have staged massive riots in Hu-kasa, claiming that Taiwan has every right to advanced weaponry and state of the art technology as everyone else. Also, UltraNationalist Chinese have taken to the streets and have destroyed properties belonging to known Taiwanese patriots.

Martial law has been declared, possibly for the fifth time this year, as a fragmented Islandia, torn by foreign nationalism and excessive cultural pride, struggles to maintain a united country.

An assassination attempt has been made on Tan's life, most likely by ultra nationalist Chinese. He survived unscathed, and has promised to go through with his deal to Taiwan, providing they accept his offer.

The ROTAF has sent a message accepting Tan's offer of advanced fighter aircraft. The message was sent directly to Tan's computer with 128 bit encryption.

==============================

"Hello, you have reached the ROTA office of Col. Zhang Fu-Guo."

==============================

Taipei does not have the plans for the Lavi or the J-10. The Times are a reputable newspaper, but even they can get their facts wrong sometimes.

President Chen Shui Bian

=============================

The Taiwanese military has been raised to red alert following the Sinoese announcement, just short of war. Meanwhile, martial law has been declared in Kaoshing following the intrusion of protesters into the military facility. Chen has also approved the fast-tracking of the next-generation F-36, ensuring the soverignety of Taiwan is maintained.

"If the deal of the fighters go ahead, Sinoese forces will intercept the delieveries by all means possible. The sale will not go ahead. Warfare is a continuation of diplomacy by other means."

"Hello Colonel." The General's voice was calm but sly. "What's going on over their with the Lavi and all?"

===============================================

Oh, Chen! That's another one of your trademark little white lies. Below is a photograph of replicated J-10 component taken by one of our agents working in your facilities.

"Sir, we're going in." The pilot of the JD-8 reports to base as he makes his overflight. At 0100 hours, the Taiwanese skies are never quiet.

OOC: This was also secretly IC and was never publically announced. Only the proliferation of JD-8s to the PRC was announced.

"We cannot talk over this line, I am being investigated, the President knows there are leaks and has bugged the phones, especially with the image of the Lavi in the papers...."

In the meantime, bombs have been set off at S1 System Dynamix's plants in Tau-wei Archipelago, killing none but destroying a substantial amount of machinery. Suspicion has been cast on ultra-nationalist Chinese groups, who oppose Tan's sale to the Taiwanese.

MEanwhile, riots continue on the street, with regular troops being called in to quell uprisings.

Jeruselem Government News

Former Jeruselem aircraft engineer Yisrael Yishel is believed to have leaked the plans of the Jeruselem experimental Lavi fighter to _Taiwan. He wented to _Taiwan for a holiday, but never returned home.

His brother Mansrael said his brother was strange person and kept to himself most of the time. Jeruselem defense department spokeman said it is believed Yisrael lives in _Taiwan under goverment protection in a assumed identity unknown to other governments.

ARSNV Chiang Kai-shek (ARSN flagship and supercarrior) 0900 Hours:

Rear Admiral Sun opened that suitcase on his desk, he looked at the cash- two million U.S. dollars, that's enough to support a _Taiwanese family for three generations with their cheap Taiwanese dollar and economic recession.

"Just come an get it, soldier." The Admiral thought to himself as he closed the suitcase.


OOC: A fews months back, four ROCAF F-16s defected to the PLA AF. Each pilot was awarded one million U.S. dollars by the PLA.

Mach 3.2? Would that still be a comfortable ride?

its only the top speed, but yes it is... S1 Systems Dynamix managed to fabricate a cockpit balance system that would compensate for the inertial forces, but the system has been rejected by Islandian Safety Control Commission, so they have to redo it. Also, the engines have a normal speed of Mach 2.85, but with fiddling around with the engine governors, control surfaces, and navigation controls, the speed managed to be pumped up several degrees. But rest assured, it is a high speed, high manueverability airplane that has defeated even the latest versions of the J10 fielded by elite Islandian units.

It is unknown the Islandian government's stance on this issue

ARSNV Chiang Kai-shek flightdeck: 0200 Hours

Anchored off the coast off the Bashi Channel south of the island, The Sinoese battlegroup, complete with numerous ACS (armed cargo ships) support the upcoming special mission.

In the JD-8 spyplane, the pilot was not accompanied by a co-pilot or intelligence equipment operator, but strangely, a Sinoese morale officer specially picked for this task ahead. The morale officer- ARSA Maj. Dong sits in the rear, hte pilot, after making his safety checks moved his plane down the runway. Soon, they will be off into the hostile Taiwanese nightsky.

Sinoese INTEL has every reason to believe that tonight, at this hour is the night that the Taiwanese Lavi will make another one of its taxi run test flights. Test flights it may be but Kaohsiung is close to the sea.

Major Dong sits in the rear, nervous. He has rehearsed the words and verbal scenarios inside his head since they were boarding. He awaits for to see his estranged compatriot in the Lavi.

"Spectre One to HQ. Permission to activate anti-radio ECM sequence received. We're goin' in." The pilot calls to base as he activates a specially designed ECM pod. They will jam all non-Sinoese radios in the area. The pilot and the morale officer may conduct radio conversations with any Taiwanese unit at their discretion.

The pilot decides to put more thrust into the engines as this is like playing blind man's buff with fighters. They proceeded with caution. The JD-8 is likely to become scrap metal if any F-22s come close as spyplanes have very limited weapons suites.

Major Dong hopes to communicate with the Lavi as soon as they can find him.

The heavily modified Lavi begins it's take-off and is escorted by an F-16T. This flight is intended to test the dogfighting capabilities of the Lavi, which will simulate a Chinese J-10 vs Taiwanese F-16T.

The Lavi pilot, Tan Wen Bao, takes to the skies.

The Lavi pilot, Tan Wen Bao, takes to the skies.

"Wait for him to gain some altitude." Major Dong explained to the pilot, "then we take out his radio."

"Ok pal, it's time to get your assed kicked." Tan said to the F-16 pilot over the radio.
"Don't be so sure, I'll put $50 on it."
"Deal. Let's get to the required altitude."

Both planes break the sound barrier and head for 44,000 feet.

Both planes break the sound barrier and head for 44,000 feet.

"Hold on to your helmet, Major." The pilot warned Dong. "Tt's gonna be rough."

The JD-8 made a high-G turn after spotting some Taiwanese aircraft on radar.

"You sure this is going to work?" Dong asked.

"Yeah, pretty sure. We'll just fly close, but make sure that we aren't too close. then, we'll use jam their radios and all that they can talk to is us."

"Sounds easier said than done."

"Hey, we risk our lives for our cause, ain't that right, sir?" The pilot reminded the morale officer.

The two aircraft begin the dogfight, with the Lavi gaining the energy advantage of greater altitude early on.

Suddenly, the JD-8 flies past them both at a hgih speed.

"They'll be surprised when their radios fail." The pilot explaines to Dong.

"Woah, what was that?" The F-16 pilot exclaims.
Silence
"Hello?"

OOC: Are there any markings on the plane?

Two days ago, Tan sent in three J37s for flight test and evaluation by the ROCAF, along with six ASX missiles, and six L/RAEMs (Long/Ranged Air Engagement Missile) by way of unmarked C130 surplus aircraft acquired through Tans' air freight corporation.

"Woah, what was that?" The F-16 pilot exclaims.

Dong ordered the pilot to fly close to the Lavi, right next to it on the right hand side. Dong looked over his shoulder and sees the target pilot, he decides to speak.

"Compatriot, there is no use looking for your radio now." Dong spoke calmly with no threat intended. "May I enquire of your rank and name?"

In a televised speech from the Imperial Palace in Hu-kasa, Premier Park Hye-min announced that Islandia and the Azn Resistance would stand behind Taiwan, now and forever, and that so long as Islandia stands, Taiwan will not be ruled by Bonstock nor any other repulsive race which seeks to use imperialism. She pledged to support Taiwan in its endeavors to resist the imperialistic words of the Bonstockians, and as an ice-breaking attempt, ordered the shipment of eighty J37S9 Forward Swept Wing interceptors, highly advanced craft only now being issued to EI reserve forces (although long in service with front line air troops). For weeks, the sale of J37 craft to Taiwan was hotly debated, but now, with aggressive Bonstockian overtures being made, S1 Systems Dynamix have begun shipping and ferrying its craft to Taiwan under heavy fighter escort. Shipments of ASX infrared air-air missiles and LRAEM/As and SRAEM/As (Long and Short Range Advanced Engagement Missiles/Air, respectively) have also begun arriving in Taiwan.
