Skandinavisk Aircraft Manufacturing, officially Skandinavisk Flyindustri A/S, is an Andallan aerospace company that designs, manufactures and sells both civilian and military aircraft. Skandinavisk is the largest company in Andalla and among the largest in Thalassa by revenue, total assets, and employees. At the end of FY 2017, the company reported $43.568 billion in revenues, $72.133 billion in total assets, and nearly 86,000 employees worldwide—67,442 in Andalla and Giokto. Skandinavisk aircraft are delivered to customers across the world, with major final assembly plants located in Andalla, and @Limonaia. The company's international headquarters are located in the Skandinavisk Global Tower along Antonsen Avenue in downtown Arkhavn, with regional head offices in Nordhaven (Orioni), Toledo (Iverica), Limone (Limonaia) and Feerefaaierhafen (Variota).

The company was founded on 2 September 1907 by Markus Olstad, along with the same group of engineers who built the first successful Andallan powered aircraft — the Olstad Flyer. Wilbert Vernesen, the first Andallan pilot on a powered aircraft, served as the company's chief pilot and trained several more to become the very first Andallan pilots. The first Skandinavisk-built aircraft was the Model 1, a small experimental biplane based off the Olstad Flyer. The company soon began producing general-purpose biplanes, the most popular of which were the "P-series" mailplanes. In the early 1920s, the company began to venture into larger commercial aircraft. Throughout the 1930s, focus was gradually shifted from general-purpose aircraft to the much larger airliners. Skandinavisk competed very closely with Saeb, which later ventured into flying boats to address the needs of the archipelago. However, as the popularity of flying boats began to diminish, Saeb ultimately lost its foothold in the large airliner market. Meanwhile, Skandinavisk had introduced the very successful "SK-series" airliners, cementing its position at the top of the Thalassan aerospace industry. The company entered the jet age after Saeb was forced to sell its jet fighter project due to the rapidly-falling demand for military equipment after the Thalassan War. Soon later, Skandinavisk entered the commercial jet age with the classic SK-3. It was at this time that Skandinavisk began to grow rapidly, producing several more jet airliners, all of which were successful. In the early 1980s, Skandinavisk formed a joint venture with Khiimori Aeronautics of @Fulgistan to develop and manufacture the SK-7. The SK-7 project was only beginning design studies at that time, and the newly-formed KAS Aerospace took over development. Along with KAS Aerospace, Skandinavisk remains one of the world's largest and most prominent civil aviation manufacturers.


Skandinavisk Aircraft Manufacturing is subdivided into 5 major divisions:

  • Skandinavisk Global, primary manufacturer of SK-series airliners; based in Finkenveder, Andalla, with a second final assembly plant in Tailam, Giokto.
  • Skandinavisk Argis, manufacturer of SK-series airliners; based in Limone, Limonaia.
  • Skandinavisk Defense, military division of Skandinavisk; based in Vindtorp, Andalla.
  • Skandinavisk Europa, manufactures general-purpose aircraft; based in Nordhaven, Orioni.

EARLY AIRCRAFT


olstad-flyer.jpg

The Olstad Flyer was the very first Andallan heavier-than-air powered aircraft. It was designed and built primarily by Markus Olstad and some friends, among them Wilbert Verneson who manned the first powered flight by an Andallan on the Ikaropoulos. The Flyer first flew on December 18, 1906 with Verneson at the controls, while subsequent flights were flown by other men that Verneson had trained.

Born 20 August 1875 in the small town of Skandinav, Wilbert Verneson moved to Tagmatium in 1893 in search of a better life following the death of both his parents in a fire. After endless searching, Verneson found long-term employment with Ioannes Glauketes as a chauffeur. In January of 1903, he was among the first people to be trained on Glauketes' flying machine. Months later, Wilbert Verneson became the first Andallan and non-Europan pilot of a powered aircraft when he piloted the Ikaropoulos' 4th flight. News of the first Andallan pilot crossed the Oriental Ocean quickly, and the entire nation was captivated by the newfound technology. Verneson returned home to a hero's welcome a year later, after being paid handsomely by Glauketes. Soon after, Verneson met engineer and neighbor Markus Olstad who, with some friends, was planning to build his own flying machine. The Flyer began actual development in 1905, while Olstad had already been working on a homemade V8 engine.

The Olstad Flyer's first flight took place in the early hours of 18 December 1906, in a field just outside Skandinav owned by one of Olstad's friends. Contrary to the Ikaropoulos, the Flyer's first flight was witnessed by nearly a thousand people, including several members of the press from several major Andallan newspapers. The Flyer flew 121 meters (397 feet) at a height of 6 meters (20 feet), becoming the first Andallan heavier-than-air powered flight. It was a groundbreaking success, and numerous photographs of the first flight were taken. The Flyer soon became known across the region owing to the wide publicity received by the event, which led Olstad to formally establish an aircraft company in 1907 — Skandinavisk. The company derived its name from the colloquial demonym of the town, as the Flyer project received much support from fellow town-mates during development.

In the months leading up to the first flight, Verneson had trained Olstad and a number of his friends to fly the aircraft as well. Subsequent flights were flown by Verneson's recruits, while Verneson became Skandinavisk's chief pilot until his retirement in 1937.

While the Flyer was completed before the founding of Skandinavisk, it was listed under the company's assets as a test aircraft for later designs. In 1909, the Flyer was upgraded with a new undercarriage and more powerful 50 hp engine. It was retired in 1914 and remains on active display at the Skandinavisk Finkenveder Factory.

The L-20 Ravn is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing utility aircraft, and is one of Skandinavisk's most successful aircraft. First flown in 1962, more than 7,000 aircraft have been built since then. The sheer popularity of the aircraft has earned it the nickname "lille fugl", or "little bird". Dozens of variants have been created over the years, ensuring the L-20 to be up-to-date with modern technology and capabilities despite the model itself being over 50 years old. Most L-20 aircraft are owned privately. It has also found a home with military users as border patrol aircraft or trainers, however very few are in service as such.

The SK-3 is the third jet-powered airliner to enter service. It was a major financial success and served as the backbone of Andallan aviation for most of its period. Development for the first Andallan jet airliner began in January of 1948, as Andalla was just recovering from the Thalassan War. In 1949, Skandinavisk acquired rival Saeb Aeronautik's share in the development of the Saeb K.9 under the Joint Andallan Jet Fighter Project (Forenet Andska Stridsplansprojekt or FAS). At the time, Skandinavisk and Alminn-Trisk had only begun working on a jet engine, the Alminn-Trisk J10, with Skandinavisk holding a 31.4% share in the project. With the newly-acquired technology from the Saeb RM1 turbojet that powered the K.9, development of the SK-3 was hastened in an effort to precede AÊrospatiale Lysienne in its development of the Comète. However, the Comète was completed ahead of schedule and introduced with Air France in 1952, becoming the first jet airliner to enter service. The Comète saw great success internationally until October and December 1953, when 2 Air France Comètes broke up and exploded mid-air. The incidents were widely publicized, forcing Air France to ground its remaining fleet of 6 Comètes at that time. Two more similar incidents in January and April 1954 prompted most airlines operating the Comète to cease all operations of the type. Lessons learned from the ensuing investigations, widely considered to be the most in-depth investigations in aviation, allowed Skandinavisk to update its prototype to meet safety standards.

The SK-3-10 entered service with Andallan Airways in February 1961, months after the @Sunset Sea Islandsian [AIRCRAFT MODEL], becoming the third jet airliner to enter service. The SK-3 Series 10 or SK-3-10 was powered by 4 Alminn-Trisk J10 turbojets, the very first Andallan commercial jet engines.

In 1964, the SK-3 Series 20 Transoriental began production. With reduced fuel consumption compared to the Series 100, increased capacity to 189 in full-economy, and a range of nearly 11,000 kilometers, the SK-3-20 was widely considered to be one of the most advanced airliners upon release. It was developed in conjunction with the Alminn-Trisk J20 turbofan, which offered higher thrust and less fuel burn than the J10. The Series 20 became the first aircraft to cross the Oriental Ocean non-stop on a regularly-scheduled commercial flight, the first of which was Andska Luftfartsselskab (Now Andska Luftlinje, or Andallan Airways) Flight 1 from Arkhavn to O'polis, @Orioni, on 3 May 1964. Aside from transoriental crossings, the SK-3-20 also allowed direct flights to most destinations in Central Argis and Northeast Alharu. Further destinations were made accessible with only a single stopover via either Orioni or @Variota. The SK-3-20 was the most numerous variant of the SK-3, remaining in production from 1964 until the termination of the SK-3 production line in 1976.

The Series 20 Advanced followed in 1970, with newer Alminn-Trisk J24 engines. It featured a higher MTOW and further increased fuel efficiency. The SK-3-20Adv also had a slightly lower range of 9,800 km, yet was still able to reach Orioni and most parts of Central Argis.

In 1980, amid growing noise restrictions and deteriorating quality, @Gallambrian engine manufacturer Collins Aerospace came to Skandinavisk with a proposal to re-engine the Series 20 Advanced with the far quieter and more efficient Collins CEM56. As a result, the SK-3 Super 40 series was developed, though only conversions were accepted. The Super 400 boasted a less noise, less fuel consumption, and a slightly longer range than the SK-3-20Adv.

The SK-3 became one of the world's most well-known aircraft for decades, until more modern long-haul aircraft such as the SK-5 succeeded it. Skandinavisk built 174 aircraft throughout its 17-year production run, and converted 42 aircraft to the Super 40 series.

The SK-4 is a short-haul narrow-body airliner. Skandinavisk's first short-haul jet airliner, the SK-4 was conceptualized in 1958 as a smaller alternative to the company's bestselling SK-3. Development studies commenced in November 1961, with its first flight taking place on 25 May 1966 and production commencing in February of the next year.  The type entered service with LuftAndska in July 1967, flying to primarily domestic routes. 22 Series 10 aircraft were delivered throughout its 4-year production run, until it was succeeded by the SK-4-20.

The SK-4-20 entered service in December 1971 with the now-defunct Braenne International Airways; its increased range and higher capacity allowed it to serve emerging destinations such as the @Sunset Sea Islands, @Kipan and @Cashar from Arkhavn. The SK-4-20 was the most numerous variant produced, with 85 aircraft built from 1971 to 1985. The Series 20 was built in both passenger and cargo variants; 2 convertible variants were also produced, the -20LF for parcel or "light" freight, and the -20CF which featured a reinforced floor for cargo pallets. A unique feature of the convertible variants was their ability to be converted completely or partially, with varying cargo or passenger capacities. These variants quickly became popular among small airlines and lesser-developed countries. A dedicated freighter variant, the SK-4 Series 20 Freighter or SK-4-20AF (AF meaning "All Freighter"), was also introduced to complement the SK-3-20F on domestic operations, albeit only to minimal success. However, most of the 29 SK-4 freighters built continued service into the late 2000s, with the largest current operator being Xintou Air Cargo with 3 aircraft at 44.8, 41.3 and 37.5 years old, respectively.

In 1974, the SK-4 Series 20 International or SK-4-20i began production, entering service with Ygros Air based in Limone, @Limonaia. The Series 20i traded payload for range, with two extra fuel tanks in the front and rear of the aircraft. A total of 33 aircraft were built, while 12 Series 20 aircraft were converted to the Series 20i. The Series 20i was complemented by the SK-4-30, which was intended for domestic operations with a range of 1,950 km; 31 aircraft were built.

In 1979, the Series 40 entered service with Khai Thalassan Airways (Now KAir). The Series 40 featured a 4-meter stretch, increasing the maximum passenger capacity to 139. The SK-4-40 was produced from 1979 to 1987, with 50 aircraft built.

In 1985, the SK-4-800 Next Generation began production. The longest and final variant of the SK-4 family, the SK-4 boasted a greatly improved capacity of up to 172 passengers. With its newer, more-efficient J3X engines, the SK-4-800 was able to achieve a range of 2,600 kilometers at maximum capacity. Orders for the SK-4-800 came quickly, with 79 aircraft built across 11 years. The SK-4 series was scheduled to terminate in 1992 with the introduction of the SK-6; however, numerous unfilled orders for the fast-selling SK-4-800 prompted Skandinavisk to extend the end of production to 1996.

Following the development of the Alminn-Trisk J3X, Skandinavisk commenced a re-engine program for the Series 20 and Series 40 aircraft to provide a smaller alternative to the SK-4-800. This was known as the SK-4 "X" series, offered from 1987 to the end of the SK-4 production line. The SK-4-20X quickly became popular with smaller and emerging airlines, combining the fuel efficiency of the SK-4-800 with the smaller size and shorter takeoff distance of the SK-4-20. The Series 20X outsold its larger counterpart by a significant margin, with 55 aircraft built against the 29 Series 40X aircraft. As a result, Skandinavisk stopped producing the SK-4-40X in 1992.

The quintessential development on the best-selling SK-4 series came with the SK-4-800ER. With its more powerful J3X-3 engines, it was able to achieve a range of 3,760 kilometers at maximum capacity. Production commenced in December 1989, entering service with Andallan Airways in May 1990.

Production lasted until 1996 and spanned 29 years, with 491 aircraft built. The SK-4 was succeeded by the SK-6, which was developed and produced in conjunction with Khiimori Aeronautics and the Aishkuraend Rheilhhu Rihana.

The SK-5 is a long-range, wide-body tri-jet airliner. Skandinavisk's first wide-body airliner, the tri-jet SK-5 was intended to replace the quad-jet SK-3 and was one of the world's most advanced airliners at the time of its entry into service. The aircraft was hailed as a "national symbol" of Andalla, with public interest reaching a record high during its rollout and introduction in 1970. During development, however, the SK-5 saw fierce competition with the @Iverican-made Suisa S-1011 Trestell; both aircraft received numerous orders prior to release, though the SK-5 led by a sizable margin. While the S-1011 had a higher capacity and was unmistakably faster, safer, and more advanced, the SK-5's longer range, cheaper price and significantly lower operational costs outweighed the S-1011's advantages.

The SK-5-100 began production in January 1970, nearly 2 months earlier than its competitor. This proved a major advantage for the company as several airlines were therefore prompted to switch to the SK-5 and cancel their S-1011 orders. However, within the first few months of service, multiple structural defects caused a number of minor accidents with the aircraft; most involved malfunctions with pressurization, airtight locks, and hydraulic systems. Because of this, some airlines began to re-consider ordering the S-1011, and many unfilled orders were either cancelled or placed on hold.

Public opinion on the SK-5 was ultimately damaged by the crash of Khai Thalassan Airways (Now KAir, pronounced "Khai Air") Flight 28 on the evening of 3 March 1971, shortly after takeoff from Saipuo Toheng International Airport. As the SK-5 climbed past 12,250 feet, the improperly-secured aft cargo door blew off the aircraft due to the significant difference in air pressure. The resulting explosive decompression and rapid de-pressurization at the rear of the cargo hold caused a large section of the cabin floor to collapse also due to differences in air pressure, severing all control cables that ran through that section of the floor and sending 3 passengers immediately to their deaths as they were ejected from the aircraft. The resulting loss of control of the aircraft's rudder, elevators and aft engine due to the severing of the control cables caused it to immediately begin a sharp descent. Captain Lok Siau-Khia managed to level off the aircraft seconds before it crashed into a forest 34 kilometers north-east of Saipuo, killing him and 277 others, including the rest of the cockpit crew. Total number of deaths by the time of the crash was 280, with an additional 12 dying shortly after the crash due to extreme pain or loss of blood, leaving 39 total survivors from the original 331 aboard. Flight 28 remains the deadliest aviation disaster in Giokton or Andallan history.

Shortly after the crash, on 9 March the Andallan Aviation Authority (AAA) revoked the SK-5's type certificate and grounded all Andallan-operated aircraft of the type. Although the incident itself had been identified as primarily human error, it pointed out another major structural defect of the SK-5. Later investigations revealed that a similar incident had occurred on a test aircraft 2 years before; however, this issue was left unaddressed, presumably since Skandinavisk was attempting to beat Suisa to the aircraft's introduction. Airport congestion grew to a record high, with thousands of worried passengers cancelling their SK-5 flights. Sales of the SK-5 continued to fall sharply; at this time nearly half of the final remaining orders were cancelled. The largest blow to the SK-5's sales came when flag carrier Andallan Airways announced the cancellation and replacement of all its remaining SK-5 orders with the Iverican S-1011.

The SK-5's type certificate was restored 9 weeks later following minor modifications to the airframe and hydraulics, and an overhaul of the cargo door systems, among others. By then, most SK-5 operators had switched or begun switching to the S-1011, unable to operate their SK-5 fleets for 9 weeks since the revoking of its type certificate. Production of the SK-5 was halted in November of 1971, after having delivered only 8 more orders since the modifications. A more updated variant, the SK-5-200, entered service in 1972 and saw minimal success during release. However, Skandinavisk was convinced of its potential, and a freighter variant was created as well. Contrary to public opinion of the SK-5, the -200F variant quickly became popular with cargo airlines as a result of their long range, low operational costs, and large payload capacity.

An unprecedented catalyst in regaining the aircraft's reputation later on was the crash-landing of LuftAndska Flight 254 in Altaria, @Iverica on July 19, 1975. The aircraft, an SK-5-200 registered A-LDGO, was operating a scheduled flight between Sant BastiÊn and Arkhavn with 244 passengers and 14 crew. The flight deck consisted of Captain Bendt Kristoffersen, First Officer Benito Sant-Jose and Second Officer Marcus Daugaard, each having accumulated 9,000, 2,800 and 50 hours on the SK-5 respectively.

37 minutes after takeoff, as the aircraft was cruising at 37,000 ft, the tail-mounted Engine No.2 suffered an uncontained failure. The subsequent explosion damaged the horizontal stabilizer and punctured all 3 hydraulic systems in the aircraft, rendering most control surfaces inoperative. As a result of the blast, the rudder was locked in the right position, causing the aircraft to slowly yaw left. First Officer Sant-Jose immediately noticed the incorrect heading and attempted to correct it, not knowing that all control surfaces were inoperative. Captain Kristoffersen then ordered full right aileron and rudder, but the aircraft did not move. Soon enough, the aircraft entered into a phugoid cycle, wherein the aircraft would slowly pitch up then down - a phenomenon common to aircraft that had lost all control. This led Second Officer Daugaard to conclude that the aircraft's control surfaces were inoperable, and that the crew had to use differential thrust to correct the heading. At this point, ATC had already given vectors for diversion to Altaria International Airport. Using differential thrust on the two remaining engines, the flight crew began descent into Altaria.

As the aircraft began its initial approach, it was discovered that the flaps were also inoperable. Second Officer Daugaard asked a flight attendant to look out the window as he extended the spoilers, but the flight attendant returned, having seen nothing change. This meant that the aircraft would have to land at a dangerously high speed, while having no way to slow down except reverse thrust and friction. However, the SK-5-200 was installed with an emergency mechanism that allowed the landing gear to be lowered and locked into position through gravity; this system also unlocked the outboard ailerons as they were usually kept locked neutral during high-speed flight. First Officer Sant-Jose immediately made the required corrections to the aircraft's bank angle, knowing that the remaining hydraulic fluid in the ailerons could be used up soon.Due to the loss of flaps, the crew was forced to rely on engine thrust to create lift and control sink rate. On final approach, the aircraft indicated 220 knots (400 km/h) compared to the safe level of 140 knots (260 km/h). The aircraft continued yawing to the left, which proved a challenge as the crew also had to use differential thrust like a rudder. The yawing eventually stopped just two nautical miles away from the runway, and the crew was able to focus on controlling the sink rate. The aircraft was already banking slightly right, but the crew could not correct it as all the hydraulic fluid in the ailerons had been drained. Lining up for the runway became increasingly difficult as the aircraft drew closer; the crew was forced to make a series of circles to properly align the aircraft. Suddenly, at 200 feet above the ground, the aircraft began to yaw left again. This went unnoticed until the aircraft was at 50 feet; Captain Kristoffersen then applied TOGA power to the No.3 engine until the bank was corrected. At 10 feet, the aircraft started to bank left, but it was too late to correct it. As soon as the aircraft landed, the ground scraped against the No.1 engine, which began to leak fuel that soon ignited into a violent fire. Suddenly, the left main landing gear collapsed, triggering further explosions as the rest of the No.1 engine violently hit the ground. The fuselage around the main gear began to crack, eventually splitting from the extreme heat and pressure. The aircraft was damaged far beyond repair, while the runway had to be partially rebuilt. The impact and resulting explosions killed nearly half of the aircraft's 244 passengers. Despite this, more than 140 passengers miraculously survived the crash, albeit many injured. The accident was praised as an excellent example of crew resource management, while the SK-5 received attention to its emergency mechanisms. Many media outlets dubbed the crash of Flight 254 as the "Miracle Crash". Following investigations, it was also revealed that the crash was caused by an engine maintenance issue at LuftAndska, not a manufacturer defect. During interviews, the crew of Flight 254 praised the aircraft's excellent handling; in one interview, Captain Kristoffersen said that "the plane would've otherwise crashed had it not been an SK-5". The effects were quickly seen as public opinion on the aircraft rose and airlines were once again convinced to switch their orders to the inexpensive SK-5. It was also around this time that the SK-5 series was re-branded, with model designators now using the "-XXX" format rather than the former "Series XX" format.

Soon after, in 1977, Skandinavisk announced the SK-5-300. The new variant, dubbed the "Globeliner", featured a higher MTOW and fuel capacity, and newer, more efficient Alminn-Trisk J44 engines, for a total range of 10,100 kilometers. The SK-5-300 sold very well, having accumulated nearly 50 orders at rollout. In 1979, the SK-5-300ER entered service with Ahranaian Airlines, featuring an higher MTOW and extended range to over.

This success proved useful in the further development of the SK-5, which once again became Skandinavisk's workhorse in the long-haul market. Though wide-body twinjets were already showing much potential and receiving many orders, the SK-5 remained nearly undisputed in range and passenger capacity. In 1987, amid diminishing sales of the renowned trijet, the SK-5 Next Generation was announced, consisting of the SK-5-800 and -900. The SK-5NG featured a 7-meter stretch, newer avionics, a two-pilot glass cockpit and longer range. A center-positioned main gear bogey was also added to compensate for the extra weight. The SK-5-800 entered service in 1992, while the -900 entered service in [YEAR] and continued production until the SK-5 was replaced by the SK-7-300. As of 2018, 18 of the type are still in passenger service, with many more serving with cargo airlines. The SK-5's role at the forefront of the high-capacity long-haul market was eventually replaced with the 

In 1988, the SK-5-300 freighter was modified to transport parts for the KAS SK-6, known as the SK-5 "Dreamhauler". 3 aircraft were built, one serving @Fulgistan @Rihan, and @Gallambria. For the aircraft serving Gallambria, the lower cargo hold was replaced completely by fuel tanks, allowing the aircraft to safely cross the Adlantic Ocean to Fulgistan despite carrying a full load of Collins CEM56 engines. The role of these 3 aircraft were replaced by the similarly-modified SK-5

The SK-5 series culminated with the SK-5-400, which entered service in 1989. Its production line finally ended in May 2006 with the SK-5-400F, having lasted 36 years; the longest production run of any Skandinavisk jet aircraft.

The J-1 Meteorit is a subsonic, single-seat jet fighter. Initially developed by the ACAAC and Saeb Aeronautik under the Joint Andallan Jet Fighter Project (Forenet Andska Stridsplanprojekt) as the Saeb K.9 to become the first Andallan-made jet aircraft, Saeb's share in the project was acquired by Skandinavisk in 1949 following the post-war arms manufacturing crash. At the time, the civil aviation industry was booming and Skandinavisk was only planning to enter the military aviation industry. After 9 years of development, the first fully-operational variant began production in 1951 as the Skandinavisk J-1 Meteorit. Though largely unsuccessful due to numerous factors including low endurance, faulty airframe, unremarkable performance and low demand, the Meteorit proved an important step in the development of Andallan jet aircraft. The Meteorit remained in scarce production until the introduction of the J-2 Komet in 1958.

The J-2 Komet is a transonic delta-wing interceptor fighter, and the first Andallan-made aircraft of its type. A J-2 Komet with serial number 58-023, nicknamed the "Mighty Skjellerup" (after the comet 38P/Skjellerup), holds the distinction of being the very first Andallan-made aircraft to break the sound barrier, in a controlled dive on 23 February 1959. The J-2 was known for its maneuverability, owing to its unusual combination of the T-tail and delta wing design. Due to the economic crisis, the J-2 remained in low numbers of production. Two years later, in 1960, the newly-established successor to the Andallan Commonwealth Air Command, the Andallan Commonwealth Air Force, was ready to authorize mass-production of the aircraft. Production continued until 1969.

The B-1 Glød is a high-altitude, semi-stealth strategic bomber. It was initially scheduled for production in 1971, but several flaws in the design delayed the date to May of 1972. It is the ACAF's only strategic bomber aircraft. It has a built-in ECM suite to fend off against incoming missiles.
