(Yes, the abbreviation is AIDS)

Welcome to the
AIDS

Aziklan
International
Defense
Store

After we began selling the AC-130H gunships and F-22s, we decided we would try to make it in the market of selling military weapons. Though the list at this time (August 1, 2003) is short, we hope to expand what we have to many different areas. Yes, we know that a lot of other nations will have "cheaper" and "better", but we will only sell what our current military uses.

So, without further gilding the lily, and with no more adieu, I give to you, the AIDS. (That is going to get a bad rap one day... I know it.)
