General Yren Addresses Media Concerns Over Military Response.

In a press conference held at the Pearlian Army headquarters, General Yren addressed concerns raised by the media regarding the military's response to the terrorist attack on Amandari island.

Questions About F-21C Deployment

When asked why the Pearlian Army Aviation Regiment didn't deploy its F-21C fighter jets for precision bombing, General Yren explained;
"We assessed that deploying our F-21C fighters would have been overkill, given the nature of the threat. Our primary concern is to minimize collateral damage and protect the civilian population."

Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) Not Deployed

Regarding the absence of infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) in the operation, General Yren stated;
"Unfortunately, our IFVs were unable to reach the island in time to participate in the operation. As we lack enough landing ships. We had to rely on our available assets, including the Mitsubishi Type 10 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs), which have proven effective in this scenario."

Elite Units Not Deployed

When questioned about the non-deployment of elite units, General Yren said;
"Our elite units, while highly trained, but have limited experience in urban warfare. Given the complexities of the situation, we opted to deploy the MBTs, which have a proven track record in similar scenarios. Their firepower and mobility have been instrumental in countering the terrorist threat."

Effective Response

General Yren emphasized that the military's primary goal is to restore peace and order on Amandari island while minimizing harm to civilians.
"We understand that our response may not have been what some expected, but we assure the public that our decisions were guided by the need to protect our citizens and neutralize the threat effectively."
