Defense Methods

The ANDF utilizes several methods to defend Asgarnieu from foreign attackers. The main line of defense is the strategic placement of sandbars off of the coast of Asgarnieu, rendering navigation nearly impossible for foreign submarine pilots. There is also a sonar scrambler that sends back false signals, possibly causing submarines to crash into the sandbars.

Another method of defense is the strategic placement of 1 MT underwater nuclear charges that can be triggered by a command center in Balkan City. The charges are designed to destroy surface ships that are inbound to the nation's shores. There are more than one thousand units placed around the nation.
