In 2007, Aeroco Kestrels from both the Royal Arcerion Naval Service and the the Arcer Air Force participated in the 2007 Telekonese Conflict. They conducted strikes against [[Kelekona|Kelekonan]] air-defence systems, border radar sites, as well as garrisons of Kelekonan troops and command posts. Two Kestrels from No. 61 Squadron (Strike) AAF were damaged by Kelekonan surface-to-air missiles near Bambara, however they managed to both conduct landings nearby at Dunbar Airfield in [[Dunborough]], Arcerion. Both were repaired and returned to service by 2008. The combat performance of the aircraft was lauded by pilots, senior political staff, and the Arcer press as the modern systems and weapons delivery methods assisted with the devestating first strike on Kelekonan targets, preventing another incursion into the [[Innis River Basin]]. | In 2007, Aeroco Kestrels from both the Royal Arcerion Naval Service and the the Arcer Air Force participated in the 2007 Telekonese Conflict.
