1. Vadare's successful military modernization has resulted in parity with Idemore... Estimates suggest that Vadare has approximately 65,000 active military personnel...Airpower is estimated at 260 aircraft...their army is supported by an estimated 390 combat tanks (total of main battle tanks, light tanks, etc)...their surface fleet is thought to number approximately 45 surface vessels.

2. In the event of conflict, Idemore has approximately 64,000 active military personnel...the number of serviceable aircraft is 270...our infantry are supported by 400 combat tanks (total of main battle tanks, light tanks, etc)...naval operations are enabled by our 50 surface vessels.

1. Vadare's recently published National Cybersecurity Strategy (V-NCS) tasks their military with the establishment of the Vadare Cyber Command (VCC). This organization is expected to undertake missions in support of Vadare's strategic objectives.

2. Although the V-NCS does not explicitly call for the offensive use of cyberspace, pronouncements by their military leadership over the past 5 years suggests the belief in cyberspace as a new war-fighting domain.

3. Despite the recent establishment of the VCC, we suspect Vadare to be in possession of significant cyber capabilities in the areas of intelligence gathering and sabotage. Moreover, we suspect the existence of close ties between its cyber operators and non-state actors in cyberspace for the purpose of plausible deniability.
