ZAMASTANIAN JETS INTERCEPT LEGIONAS' 3RD FLEET
Legionas Ships Were Patrolling International Waters in South Xiomeran Sea

A Zamastanian Zian-3R attack aircraft makes a low-altitude pass by LN Illustrious, November 22nd, 2019.

Zamastanian jets performed a fly-by of the Legionas 3rd Fleet, which was performing patrols in the South Xiomeran Sea at the helm of Xiomeran tensions with Zamastan. The jets at one point came within 30 feet of the flagship- LN Illustrious.

Tensions between Xiomera and Zamastan are high after a dangerous encounter between the Zamastanian 2nd Fleet and Xiomeran security ships, and the intervening period had seen an increase in the number of uncomfortable and even unsafe encounters between forces. Zamastan has been condemned by many nations in the IDU. Shen, Rhand, and Xiomera are now conducting joint-military exercises in response.

Images posted by the Legionas Navy shows how close the jets flew to their ships. While military law does not specifically state encounters and distance from differing navies in international waters, the incident is another in a spat of encounters that has put Zamastan on the edge of criticism on the world stage. In what has been interpreted as a dangerous escalation of military prowess by the Zamastanian Navy, polls from Zamastanian citizens shows that the public is generally content with their current state.

Even Cain Blackwater, liberal candidate for President and historical opponent to President Foley Sakzi, has stated his support for the military's actions.

"It's about time that our military begins to stand up for itself and doesn't get pushed around again. I commend President Sakzi, something that is rare for me to do mind you, for his unrelenting prowess in these times."

The flybys occurred during a routine Legionas fleet refueling, and the fleet is comprised of 38 ships total, including two aircraft carriers.

There were four Zamastanian planes involved in the flyby.
