Operational History
Al-Abqari satallite incident
On 4 April 1996, the Islamic Republic of Sconia launched the Al-Abqari satallite to space from tbd launchsite, while claiming the satallite to be a weather satallite, the Kingdom of Pavulturilor claimed that it was an Armed satallite in direct violation of tbd agreement, and that if the satallite was to pass over Pavulturilor, they will have every right to shoot it down.
Pavulturilor has also issued a warning to Sconia, that if it was to not make the satallite self desruct immedietly, it would resort to destroying it itself, Sconian officials refused and stated it would be illegal for Pavulturilor to do so.
The following day on 00:30 5 April 1996, the Royal Pavulturilori Air Force's Stratigic Defence Command launched a Săgeată 2 missile to intercept the satallite, after a missile launched from a Pavulturilori FA-12 "Arbaletă" impacted the satallite, but failed to destroy it. The Săgeată missile would successfully intercept the satallite 10 minutes later in 00:40 and destroy it.
Judea Crisis
In the opening hours of the Judea Crisis, 04:00 25 May 2008, the Islamic Republic of Sconia launched a massive strike on Pavulturilor, this strike would include 50 ballistic missiles of varying types, while other parts of this attack would have varying amounts of success, this part would be a complete failure as all 50 missiles would be intercepted while still midcourse.
