Voshkod airship shot down over the Indian Ocean

The Alliance Navy announced today that the ANV Republic was attacked yesterday by a Voshkod airship. The Voshkod denies any such attack, and that there are no airships that far south to begin with. The Republic is in Cape Town to repair the severe damage it received.

The Republic was out on maneuvers in the Indian Ocean with its attendant fleet when its radar picked up a large object. The Hermes UAV launched to investigate disappeared soon after coming into visual range. The fleet diverted from course to investigate when the unidentified vessel attacked, sinking many vessels and damaging the Republic severely. The Alliance Navy stated the airship was armed in line with the Zhukov War Zeppelin, only modified to attack ground targets. Eventually, the Hydrofoils were able to shoot down the floating ship. However, its remains sank deep into the ocean, making salvage impossible.

The Alliance Navy is refusing to give out more details, citing intelligence risks. However, civilian workers in Cape Town have noted the Republic is not only scarred with bullet holes and dented by explosive weaponry, but many sections seem to have cracked like glass. This damage is theorized to be due to some sort of new magnetic weapon the Voshkods have developed.

Despite the unprovoked attack, the Alliance has not demanded any explanation from the Voshkod and has not mobilized any units on punitive measures against the Voshkod. The Kremlin has protested its innocence and believes the Alliance are using a case of friendly fire as propaganda against the Voshkod. Alliance High Command could not be reached for comment.

The radar operator on the Republic had calculated that the airship was on a course originating from Madagascar. It is unknown if this is related to the unknown nanites found there earlier this year.
