ADF Tests New Ballistic Missile
MARIA (Orbis 7 August 2003) — The Athretvar Defense Forces confirmed today to RCBC that the ADF Missile Corps had conducted a successful test of the Scimitar CORBM-A1, a new three-stage long-range conventional ballistic missile built by ADIG Rocket Systems, that the government in Maria says will help strengthen the nation's defense posture.

The new missile, estimated to cost the government Athretvar ¥19.5 million when including materials and fuel, is classified by some defense industry analysts as an offensive weapon. It was tested at the ADF's newly constructed ¥1.1 billion Cabo Carnival National Missile & Rocket Laboratories and Launch Facilities in the southern citystate of La Mencia.
The ADF stated that in line with Athretvari's official foreign policy of neutrality and non-aggression, the Scimitar system, while subjectively classified as an offensive weapon, is strictly intended to be utilized as a defensive deterrent and that like all other Athretvar defenses, will only be deployed against hostile nations that have initiated armed conflict against Athretvari.
