Field Marshal Nutyubrick is leading a large delegation of Malatian top officials on a two-day state visit to Brikvania at the invitation of King Brik II.

Accompanying Field Marshal Nutyubbrick is General Xitin, the Deputy Leader of Malatia, and several other top military and economic officials.

On his first day of the visit, Field Marshal Nutyubrick met with Brikvanian defence officials and visited the newly formed Brikvanian Air Defence Command (BADC).

The BADC is formed to oversee the air defence of Brikvania, and has recently received two batteries of Malatia-built Skylight short range surface to air missile (SAM) system.  Each battery consists of 3 launchers and a radar system. Designed and built 30 years ago, the Skylight SAM system could hit targets of up to 12 km. 

The donation of two Skylight SAM batteries reflect the close cooperation and relations between Malatia and Brikvania. " We hope the military aid would enable Brikvania to secure and protect its airspace from any intruder", said Field Marshal Nutyubrick.

"We are also providing four coastal radars and six air radar for the Brikvanian armed forces", added Field Marshal Nutyubrick.

The Armed Forces of Brikvania is currently facing a budget constraint and limited fund to acquire new weapons or equipment. Some 70 out of 120 military lorries it has currently have been donated by Malatia.

King Brik II is keen to access Malatian technology to strengthen its armed forces. Currently Brikvanian defence officials are negotiating with Malatia for a possible transfer of spare warplanes from Malatia.

Filed Marshal Nutyubrick is also keen for more trade between the two countries and have proposed to Brikvania for three additional border crossing points to be opened to facilitate trade.
