Out at sea, the Royal Indian Navy sought vengeance for the dishonor brought upon them by the Omani navy. Such a cowardly band of communists, who slaughtered a cousin of the King, could not be allowed to spit on the pride of the Indian Navy and get away with it. At this critical juncture as Omani fighter jets screamed overhead, a new advantage soon appeared - Indian submarines. Previously operating in silence, they broke their code to launch deadly torpedoes aimed at the Omani carriers, striking at other targets of opportunity when allowed to. The air war over the ocean, however, was fought for bravely and brutally by the Royal Indian Naval Aviation corps, despite being outnumbered. The gap in numbers was more than made up for in their shiny new planes, armed to the teeth with modern missiles and with a speed the Omani airplanes could only hope to match.
---
The Omani Navy, meanwhile, now with heavy aerial support from the land-based Omani Air Force, likewise revealed their own secret. Omani submarines focused their fire on the wounded enemy carrier, quickly finding themselves quite accidentally side-by-side with their counterparts in the Indian Royal Navy. Another long-range gun duel started as the Omani navy sought to harass and prevent the newer enemy cruisers from getting too close, covering the advance of their planes overhead with withering anti-air fire. Inaccurate though it was, any sort of fire was better than no fire as far as Omani pilots were concerned.

Re: Indian-Omani War
OOC: The SRA does not participate in this round of combat due to travel time.
Re: Indian-Omani War
The Celtic Union has declared their support of the new Omani regime and the Iranian NFZ. A large naval task force comprising most of the Union's navy has been hastily assembled and is en route to the Arabian Sea.

[re: Plane]
Hajji Murad was piloting a freshly minted, Iranian built F-4 Phantom II. his gunpods were armed, and sidewinder missiles waited to be launched with dire implications.
"Victorian aircraft. You are ordered out of this airspace as it has been designated a no-fly zone. We will give you three warning shots, and if you decide to violate this airspace after a minute further without making the appropriate manoeuvers, you will be shot down. Think Long and Hard of the implications of this act."

Re: Indian-Omani War
The Victorian aircraft signaled in the negative, indicating low fuel and the need to continue their flight as planned.
Re: Indian-Omani War
After the third warning shot, 90 seconds pass. frantic radio chatter happens, quick discussions with Omanian officials.
"Victorian aircraft. You are to cut speed and land at Muscat international airport. You will be detained for violating the airspace, and placed under arrest to face trial at a later date. Any further incursions will not be so lucky. Enough Deviation from that course will result in your imminent destruction, and no further warnings will be given. Low fuel is a paltry excuse, and nobody is swayed by it. Failure to land, or aggressive actions against any aircraft etc. of either Oman or Iran will be considered an act of war. That is all."

Re: Indian-Omani War
Airliner-
The aircraft signalled its acceptance of the Iranian demands, and flew to the designated airport. On landing it could, indeed, be verified that the craft did not have the fuel to divert far from its course. The Victorian civilians were clearly scared, but resolute in the face of their detainment.
***
Catharine-
The Inferno Queen stared at the message she’d been handed. She sighed and handed it off to Atieno who barely glanced at it before letting it fall.
“Well, I suppose you get what you wanted, my darling,” the King said to her.
“Wanted? Yes, yes. I have to be honest with you, at least. I was hoping they’d give me a more dramatic reason to intervene, but it is what it is. They’ve abducted our citizens, and they meddle where I don’t want them. And!” Catharine huffed at this last bit, “they call for people like us to be deposed. Fucking bastards.”
The Queen turned to her Field Marshal and gave a sharp nod of her head. “Burn them to nothing.”
***
The War-
If the world was holding its breath, if the world was waiting, to see if Victoria would once again darken a nation’s skies, it wouldn’t wait long. The Victorian attack came, though it did not strike at Oman. It did not even pass by Oman.
The aircraft of the Royal Army Pilot Service took to the sky from Kuwait, only a short distance across the Iranian border. Victorian command had carefully planned their attacks, and now the Seraphim flew under the protective envelope of the Jicho program. Each squadron of Seraphim was escorted by Victorian fighters, and each flew to its designated target within Iranian territory, where they targeted the centres of industry and the military bases that had been left behind when the Iranian air force had been flown to Oman.
***
“Diplomacy”-
A message was sent to the Iranians through channels which simply stated: “Surrender or burn”.

Re: Indian-Omani War
20 ground units lost, and 24 ground units damaged.
--> lose 10 artillery, 5 armour, and 5 mechanized.
the rest can be damaged. (5 infantry) -- but the rest can't be because there's nothing left. so, the entire army is gone.
good night.
[Shirman Al Khan has gone into a state of suspended animation in the first KHANBUNKER, along with a thousand or so scientists.]
