Based on its experience in the design, development and production of light armoured vehicles, the Center for Strategic Scientific Development of the Imperial Armed Forces of Patrua has developed a capable armoured personnel carrier called the Cobra.
It has proven its efficiency and reliability during the conflicts and ongoing peace-keeping missions in Kaduiri and former Legionistan.

The Cobra features a new all-welded one-piece armoured steel hull which offers improved protection against both 5.56mm and 7.62mm small arms fire as well as mines. If required, the Cobra can be delivered with a higher level of armour protection, including protection against 7.62mm armour-piercing projectiles.
The vehicle's fitted with the powerpack and drive train of the US AM General Enhanced Capacity Vehicle 4 x 4. The powerpack is at the front, driver and commander to the immediate rear and the troop compartment extends right to the rear of the vehicle. The Cobra has a compact profile and is transportable by ship, aircraft, helicopter, truck and by rail for rapid deployment. The Cobra has an all-welded steel hull with wide, fully opening side and a large rear door is provided in the rear of the hull which opens to the left and is provided with a bulletproof window and firing port in the upper part. In either side of the rear troop compartment are two bulletproof vision blocks fitted with a firing port below, which allow some of the troops to fire their weapons from within the vehicle.
All this allowing rapid exit of the crew when required. The vehicle also features roof hatches and quick-release three-point locking system. The vehicle has a seating capacity between four and twelve depending on the variant and configuration.

An optional amphibious kit consists of double hydraulic thrusters with joystick control and closing louvres. The system allows the vehicle to enter water without preparation.

A two-piece windscreen and wide side glazing provides good visibility under ballistic protection. The windscreen is fitted with an electrical de-icing system, wipers and washers. The hull also has all round vision blocks. An air conditioning system is fitted as standard.

Standard equipment includes an air-conditioning system, automatic transmission, power steering, firing ports, vision blocks with optional equipment including a central tyre-pressure regulation system, winch, NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) protection system and night-vision equipment.

Optional equipment includes electrical self recovery winch, infrared driving lamps, smoke grenade dischargers, fire suppression system, night vision periscopes for driver and commander and daytime periscopes for driver and commander.

The baseline Cobra vehicle can be fitted with a variety of turrets and weapon stations on the roof armed with 7.62mm and 12.7mm machine guns.

Money wired.

And 1 thing: This is NS people sell M!A2's for that much.

Of course they are also overpriced to twice what they should cost.

Make them all cost around $1 mil and you should sell a lot more..

All right, you get a discount of a billion dollars.
Maybe the price is a tad bit too high...

Edit: *price has been adjusted -this post doesn't coun't anymore*

All right, you get a discount of a billion dollars.

Yep.

For that you could definitely buy a heavier APC...

If you reduce the price, say so in the topic line as well.

To all:
Congratulations with your purchases and have fun with it.

Not a fan of wheels. The stryker APC sucks.
Mind you, wheeled vehicles do have their advantages:

They're more reliable
They're lighter, facilitating transport by air and sea
They're lighter and thus can more easily cross for instance damaged bridges and so on
They're quicker and more agile
Cheaper to maintain
Easier to repair
Much more suited for urban warfare


It's just a matter of allocation. These units aren't the front-line heavy- fighting behemoths that take a beating and move right along.
Even the US (who bought this stuff as well) are considering wheeled replacements for their Bradleys.

Not trying to convince you in any way, but you might want to buy some of these to ease your mind now :wink:

You could sell those around $100 000 to $150 000 to be alot more realistic. They are basically an armored jeep/hummer style vehicle it appears, not really an AFV. I would buy some if I didn't make a similar vehicle already.

Well, if you ever would need replacements, you know where to find them. Maybe by then, the price will have gone down.

Of course you came back, after all, isn't the Cobra's irresistible?
Your order has been confirmed, grenade launcher can be done, the modified machinegun can't, but we'll put some uniform attachment points so you can add them if you got 'em.

That makes $350,000,000.

Thanks for buying and please feel free to spread the word.

Would you like to buy the plans and tooling dies to produce the machine guns? we use a modification of the Hispano-Suiza 20mm Cannon used on the Spitfire IX and later in WW2.

Cost including production rights is $20 Mil. Goes Bang and the rioters run screaming with salt under their skin! :shock: :twisted:


If I wanted something to fight in, I'd get more MARDER IFV's but for MPs to cruise around in intimidating the proles... well these should last a bit longer than a hummer, at least a .303 won't go through them. :roll:

30 with conventional gun turrets please

How bad do they have to be before you start putting in 2 inch dia rocks? besides which, in a desert like Iraq water can be too special to waste on proles, the'd be more likely to go mob up and take buckets with them... be more water that way than waiting for the army to fix the pumps and power stations they bombed.

Prisoners all over the realm have been ordered to start cutting rocks into 2 inch water cannon ammo. The government has packed its bags and will await the end of the game somewhere safely abroad. Dipers have been sold out as people are shit scared and several desertions have been reported in the army as well. Citizens have begun stockpiling food and cleaning out city bomb shelters.

And now back to business cause after all this is unfortunately a storefront thread :(

Yup, but it made a damn good bump right? lol! :P

we wish to purchase 100 Cobras,with options for 900 more if they are found to be satisfactory...we wish for them to come with the MG turret but no MG(do we get them cheaper if the MG isn't included? :P),but fixation point so we can use our own 12.7mm MG or a Mk19 GMG.

amphibious versions btw...

bump so the thread and my order arn't buried.

Calarca: Mighty good bump indeed. When this thread sinks beyond #20, you may do your thing :)

All this was written by hardcore ex military guys that know their stuff.actually,they don't "know their stuff"-scientifically speaking,they are judging a vehicle base don it's performance at it's worst-if the US was involved in a more heavily urbanized area with plenty of concrete,some hills and rocky and hard earth terrain instead of sand,or even worse pavestones, they'd be screaming out against the very tracked vehicles they are currently advocating.The real reason the yank oppresors are dieing in irak is 'cuz the freedom fighters know their stuff, even vehicles more appropriate to the terrain would'nt make more than aminor difference.The best solution would be bigger,more expensive vehicles with armor protection corresponding to the frontal glacis of current vehicles in every part of the APC,including the rear and the top,the traditional weak spots,and batteries of sensors appropriate in order to counter ambushes.such counter-guerilla vehicles would meet much greater success than anything current,wheeled or tracked.

Calarca is extremely pleased with the Non-Lethally armed Military Police versions purchased earlier, and now due to restructuring of the military is seeking to purchase wheeled road convoy protection vehicles.
Formerly military re-supply was primaryly done using stretched variants of the M-113, outfitted for cargo carrying, with protection carried out by tracked vehicles while in risk zones. With rear-echelon resupply being carried out by unarmoured trucks escorted by MG mounted jeeps. Now a medium category of risk has been identified where Tracked resupply is too slow or of insufficient capacity, and the existing wheeled supply vehicles and escort are insufficiently protected.
As per this assesment Calarca is seeking uparmoured and upweaponed transports and escort vehicles for the medium risk environments. The transport requirement will be met by internal design and modification by Calarcian automobile manufacturors, but for escort duties, the example of the MP Cobras has lead to Calarca approaching Patrua for Cobra AFVs.

We wish to place an order for:
3600 APC models
200 Command models
2500 40mm Grenade Recon models
3500 .50 Cal HMG Recon models
700 AA defence SAM models equipped with french Minstral
700 AT Milan models
400 Air search Radar models

All Cobras to be up armoured with ceramic plates to at least .50 HMG rated protection, preferably 20mm Cannon rated.

$1,050,000,000 (we installed the french mistral AA system which made it slightly more expensive)
$770,000,000
$640,000,000

The APC, Command, AA, AT and Radar models have been fitted with ceramic and composite armour that will offer complete protection against .50 HMG fire and partial protection against 20 mm rounds (when fired from at least 80 meters distance) and 40 mm rounds (when fired from at least 200 meters distance).

For the Recon types, we opted not to compromise speed, a key factor in recce missions. Therefore their armour is slightly lighter. Nevertheless they too will withstand .50 cal HMG fire and 20 mm rounds from up to 100 meters distance (and 40 mm 250 meters distance). There are vulnerable spots in the armour however (which we will not elaborate on here but they are only minor).

The adaptations cost an additional $5,800,000,000

That's a grand total of $12,184,750,000 I believe.

Interesting suggestion. Since the vehicle is so standardized, it shouldn't be too hard for any nation to customize it themselves.
On the other hand, it might be a speedy way of in depth aerial recce, we might be getting back to you on that.
The Igla-S instead of the Stinger might be a good idea. Now to secure a steady supply of Igla-S systems...

As to the recons, speed isn't really nessesary as they're only supposed to be escorting tankers and trucks along roads, but even so it'll probably come in handy to send them out and about scouting ambushes or convoy routes.

With this order, our convoys in medium risk zones will be quite safe, far more so than American ones in Iraq with their HUMMVEE escorts.

I think you'll be grateful to have armour that can quickly intervene whenever an ambush occurs. It's very useful to comb out an area with a spearhead team before your convoy passes through.

*Money sent*

Well, we already delivered them, but we could sent a team to upgrade yours.

The ISAN military feels that Calarcan reports regarding their situations, needs, and these vehicles themselves could almost have been written by one of their own officers or administrators.

Bandits, cartels, and so forth on North Andaman deploy moderate weaponry and operate against government forces on a fairly intermediate scale. We have found that our ancient Jeeps are more likely to draw fire than even slightly intimidate criminal elements, while various tracked APCs and such AVs strike Liberation (the capital) as a great expense and risk, while seeming to the civilian population of the northern islands a very heavy-handed measure, which is proving unpopular.

Tracked vehicles give the impression that the army is sending in tanks, which is not exactly what Liberation wants its people to think.

We wonder; is the "Calarca" version available, with its superior armour, in the case of the amphibious model? Without loss of acquatic ability, of course?

Being as the ISAN is almost entirely urban, and that it includes a large number of tiny islands, we feel that these vehicles- especially in amphibious configuration- may be ideal.


As such, our preliminary order -

60x Command
140x 81mm mortar
50x NBC reconnaissance
110x Anti-tank
180x Anti-aircraft
80x Ambulance

If amphibious vehicle accepts Calarca upgrade- 400 amphibious vehicles with .50cal MG.

If amphibious vehicle does not accept upgrade without loss of aquatic function- 120 standard amphibious vehicles and 300 Calarca standard APC.

I hope this stipulation does not appear over-complicated.

We wonder; is the "Calarca" version available, with its superior armour, in the case of the amphibious model? Without loss of acquatic ability, of course?

Mr.Giles,
The vehicle won't lose floating capability, but it will be significantly slower and harder to manipulate. Also, we may have to limit armour on certain area's in order to keep the balance of the vehicle in check. These uncovered spots will have the standard armour which in itself isn't all that bad off course.

Since the AT risk seems rather low and as the standard armour is already capable of withstanding HMG (also thanks to the silhouette) and protecting its crew from landmines, it might be good to consider wether the added armour would be necessary against the non-military designated targets.

The price for the order will be $1,800,000,000, the first patch of 250 can be delivered to you within a week (NS), the others will be arriving within the next one-and-a-half months (NS).

Thank you. While the current top priority for deployment of such vehicles would see them policing 'bandit lands', it is from seperate current events reasonable to supose that in the near future they may be deployed in rather different and more taxing theatres.

Taking all prospects and information into account, our final order is as follows:

60x Command
140x 81mm mortar
50x NBC reconnaissance
110x Anti-tank
180x Anti-aircraft
80x Ambulance
150x Calarca amphibious vehicles with .50" MG
150x Standard amphibious vehicles with .50" MG
200x Calarca APC with .50" MG

(ooc:I hope you have a calculator handy :) It occured to me to round the order off..but I supposed such a consideration would never cross the minds of a RL government considering its purchases and balancing budgets. Hope you don't mind!)
