In comparison to other nations missile designs, Ajahadya's is are suffer from a combination of inaccuracy, reduced range and/or smaller warhead sizes when compared to more modern designs. However, military commentators have noted that the shorter ranges are not a notable issue, due to the likely targets for Ajahadyan missiles in the event of war being in neighbouring Satria rather than further afield therefore not necessitating longer range missiles.
History
Founding
Third Satrian War and Dakatan War
ROSPO and Present Day
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Ajahadya is believed to have one of Kylaris's largest stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons, and used such weapons extensively during the Third Satrian War and the Dakatan War to great effect. The Ajahadyan government does not attribute any special qualities to biological or chemical weaponry, viewing them as weaponry like any other, and has not signed any treaties regarding their usage or disarmament or allowed inspection of its stockpiles.
Ajahadya's biological and chemical weapons stocks are believed to come under the control of the Republican Guard Rocket Corps, which is responsible for controlling Ajahadya's surface-to-surface missile inventory and would be one of the main users of such weaponry in the Ajahadyan Armed Forces in a future conflict. How non-missile carried weaponry, such as airborne bombs or artillery shells will be allocated in future conflicts is largely unknown, but analysts expect that each artillery unit has an issued stock of chemical shells from the RGRC, while biological weapons remain entirely under the purview of the RGRC.
Organisation
The Republican Guard Rocket Corps is organised into three brigades, the 111th and 119th Missile Brigades, and the 132nd Support Brigade. The 111th and 119th are each believed to have around a third of Ajahadya's inventory of missiles assigned to TELs, with the remaining missiles and unissued warheads being held with the 132nd Support Brigade which handles the transportation of missiles between units and the security of stockpiles of missiles and warheads. The 132nd is also believed to be responsible for the transport and issuing of non-missile means of deploying chemical and potentially biological weapons, such as artillery shells and airborne bombs.
