Prelude
On September 21, 2019, the IND001 requested that the WAAF help the [Air Force|Indian Air Force] in their war against the [Air Force - PAKAF|PAF]. Being a member of the [Ocean Alliance|Indian Ocean Alliance], the WAAF obliged. Early on the morning of September 22nd, Lop declared was on the PAF.

First Wave.
Half an hour after the declaration of war, Lop, Lieutenant AsianEinstein and Corporal Bee took to the skies above Islamabad. One PAF pilot was in the air by the name of Ahad. Here they began bombing the city, nearby towns and roads, for approximately 15 minutes. After this, the forces withdrew from Islamabad.

Second Wave
Major Firebrand then arrived on the scene a while later. At this point, another PAF pilot, by the name of KidPilot, arrived. As he was outnumbered, Firebrand called for backup, which Lop and Asian responded too.

For the next 45 minutes, Asian and Firebrand bombed Islamabad and engaged PAF pilots Ahad and KidPilot. Lop came back to aid the pair and Firebrand subsequently shot down both PAF pilots. The group also bombed PAF airstrips and hangars. Lop was hit with an EMP over some mountains near Islamabad and was rescued by Firebrand before his F-16 exploded.

Aftermath
The Battle of Islamabad was a resounding victory for the alliance. Both Asian and Firebrand were awarded a Swan Medal for their heroic actions.

Controversy
Both factions accused the other of FRP, especially on the [Council for Peaceful Intervention|GeoFS Council for Peaceful Intervention] discord server. The WAAF was especially criticized of an sonic boom comment by Asian : "the sonic boom alone would have destroyed half the city". The WAAF then criticized the PAF of combating even though they had acknowledged their shootdowns.
