Background

Although the relations between Khirmania and Salamat were hostile, tensions grew rapidly when a military coup installed Jalil Al Kharrabi who was a staunch islamist, as opposed to Khirmania's government.

Opposing forces

Salamat

Salamat was an authoritarian dictatorship ruled by the Mushir (Field Marshal) Jalil Al Kharrabi.

In the preceding years, Salamat had developed strong diplomatic ties with the communist country of Ezenchia, which granted him trade deals, including military equipment. At the same time, Salamat started developing its own indigenous military industry, although most of the weapons produced by Salamat at that time were pure copies of Riamese vehicles and weapons.
