The Keanuan Air Division has shot down the hostage takers plane within the airspace of Conaro using two upgraded GW era spitfires. Keanuan defence chief Moloka’i described the mission as a warning shot to Conaro, Terra Firma and any other potential enemies, “A warning that Keanu and Hurley is well defended, and will not be a victim to the whims of billionaires, terrorists, pirates and mercenaries.”
The two modified spitfires have safely landed on a Ryccian Aircraft Carrier in the region, as they did not have the flight range to fly back from the mission. As they can also not take-off from the ship, the aircraft will remain onboard until such a time as they can successfully be unloaded at port, or onto another ship.
