On the 1st of April the Pelaxian Task Force already lurking in the Akanatoan waters started its air operations to destroy or deny the enemy infrastructure for the following land campaign. | |||
The maritime task force was composed of 2 aircraft carriers, 20 frigates, 4 submarines, 30 corvettes, 8 Amphibious transport docks and 2 landing ship tanks. Together this fleet amassed a force of 156,000 personnel of the Pelaxian Armed Forces and the Federal Civil Guard. | |||
Air raids from the Enterprise Class "Jernónimo l" aircraft carrier began in the morning with Burgundian Rafale M and Urcean F4 Phantoms, making up to 40 sorties per day engaging several ground objectives identified by the special forces on the ground. As per maritime strategy the frigate escort provided anti air protection to the carriers, engaging several Akanatoan small aircraft that threatened the operation of the task force. | |||
By the 10th of April nearly all the stationary and logistical reserves of the Akanatoan militia has been destroyed. | |||
