UPDATE
Well, finally got around to posting things. As with the munitions section, I've found that the fixed-wing aircraft section was just too much for Jolt, so I'll probably split the store into separate fixed and rotary-winged aircraft threads.
For now, I've provided a link to my fixed-wing thread (http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php?showtopic=527&st=0) in the International Mall as an interim solution.

Added a whole slew of new units, including lesser transports, bombers based on civilian airliners, tankers, and a few new ground surveillance systems, and all available for general export.
The P-7A and AH-93A have also been moved to their respective general export sections

The helicopter section got the AH-93A tranferred in, and a new UAV based on the X-45 that's available for export

The advanced section recieved a much more deadly UCAV, as well as a replacement for the C-130 and a series of gyroplanes, with a quad tiltrotor as well. There's also a new range of combat helicopters, a new heavy-lift helicopter, and a naval version of the CH-61 available.

100,000x MGM-183B LOSAT II = $8.6 billion
Total: $1478.802 billion + possible $210 million ($60 million + $150 million -- for production license for first and second gen CSJ G-Suits as member of CAP)
Per Installment (of 6 with 2 paid up front): $246.467 billion

Also, as part of the deal, we would like to offer CSJMI and the CSJ military access to the technologies for the new Omzian missiles and aircraft (including new trainers and B-101 variants plus F-125C upgrades), if the CSJMI military is interested, as we are also willing to pay a hefty sum of cash for possible production licenses for the following:
-The Omzian Air Force is very interested in the "MB-" bomber modifications for the civilian airliners, and is willing to exchange both cash and the Omzian ELPI radar technology for the access to these modifications and a possible domestic production license, in addition to the new Noran COWS-IIIB bomber aircraft countermeasures suite which provides RWR, ladar warning receiver, decoy carriage, and radar jamming capabilities in addition to small active radar cancellation systems (defeating radar guided missiles), electrochromic panels on bombers to distort IR image of the bomber (to confuse IR missiles), the new LADAR jammer system (in turret), and full provisions for the new Omzian anti-missile missile system. The Omzian ELPI technology, along with the datalink systems involved as described:

...APG-102/A ALPI (Advanced Low Probability of Intercept) radar, which combines the processing power of the Noran Systems EX200 computer along with a selectable "frequency change rate" option to randomize the rate of frequency change and the "snapshots" taken by the radar, while having an improved coverage area of approximately 140-170 degrees, thanks to the improved "snapshot" system which takes simultaneous snapshots to increase the coverage area. Other features are improved, such as improved ECM resistance, improved range, and an improved NCTR system which is capable of identifying aircraft, ground vehicles, and ships. The radar is also capable of the functions present in Thor jamming system on the F/A-22A, and extends it by releasing high energy bursts and concentrate high energy transmission onto narrow spots (such as ground radars and communication links) to break radar locks and jam them. A datalink and electronic warfare system is also present, improving the F/A-22A's by providing extensive capabilities for the guidance of long-range AAMs fired by other interceptor aircraft, and coordination with other aircraft in cruise missile defence missions, against both low-flying cruise missiles and high speed cruise missiles.

-Both the Omzian Navy Marine Corps and Army are interested in a possible offer of production license for the two new attack helicopters and the reconaissance helicopter, in addition to the CH-79, if possible, and the Omzian Navy is willing to include them in the countermeasures technology contract, in addition to the .50cal/20mm "tank CIWS" and the "Anti-Tomahawk CIWS" (As described in the previous OMP thread of ours).

-The Omzian Navy is interested in a possible production license for the S-67 ASW and E-68 carrier-borne ASW aircraft and the airframes associated, in addition to the A-15A Hammerhead aircraft and airframe, and the A-45 UCAV as the Omzian Navy is willing to include them in the countermeasures contract, and is willing to offer the new intercontinental cruise missiles as part of the exchange (info on OMP boards in Announcement forum).

-Additionally, as a member of CAP, we would like to acquire a production license for CSJ's new G-Suit technology (including first and second gen suits) for $210 million, if possible.
As we are glad to be able to negotiate a possible contract with CSJMI again, we eagerly await for an response.

The Omzian Air Force, Navy, and Army are greateful to hear CSJMI's reply, and their acceptance of the proposal, as the three services of the Omzian Forces are in need of new equipment to update the air defence capabilities of the Omzian Forces and the capabilities to deter and repel enemy invasions that threatens the integrity of the Omzian homeland.

As with the intercontinental cruise missiles, if the CSJ Army is willing to use rail launchers and ground-based protected launchers as launch platforms, the Omzian Air Force Weapons Labs and OMASC will send a group of advisors to oversee the production of the missiles and the construction of launching and maintenance facilities for these missiles. Furthermore, if the CSJ Air Force and Navy are willing to upgrade their bombers with the COWS-IIIB system, a group of advisors will also be sent for the purpose.

As we are looking forward to receiving these equipment for the Omzian Forces, we are glad that we are once again able to conduct equipments and technologies exchanges with our Smoke Jaguar counterparts, as the Omzian Navy is also looking forward to reorganize the Omzian Naval Aviation forces, and the eventual retirement of several types of systems, including previously purchased versions of B-747 modifications.

OOC: Good to hear, and I'm also planning to retire my AC-130s and replace them with something soon. About the private message part, sorry if I didn't make it clear, but I sent you one at the OMP boards. It's about something I have on mind that may interest you.

From: Gal Sharif, Dept. of Defense, Al-Sabir
Subject: Order

We're delighted to inform that the Senate has approved another major, longterm defense contract, hopefully to be fulfilled by CSJMI over the coming years.

- 32xC-252 FULTRA - $19.2 billion
- 640xC-268 Atlas - $48 billion
- 32xCG-12 Gyrocaptain - $25.6 billion

Subtotal: $92.8 billion

Responsible for the protection of a handful of small Sultanates and Protectorates, bordering the Persian Gulf, the DoD is slowly trying to shift these basic guard duties over to Militia Corps personnel, as well as native militia. To provide these soldiers their basic equipment the Senate has authorized numerious orders of slightly downgraded weaponry, which we would ask you to fulfill:

- 6xP-7A Poseidon (432 million)
- 12xS100B Argus AEW&C (720 million)

Subtotal: $1.132 billion

In the near future more extensive procurements are to expected.

Grandtotal: $93.932 billion

Funds are divided in 20 batches, to be wired over a period of 20 months.

From: OHDF Procurement Office, Ministry of National Defence

As CSJMI has rolled out a series of new and welcomed UAV units, the Omzian Air Force and Army reviewed them in anticipation as we are glad to announce that they met all of our requirements for replacing some of our out of date unmanned systems. As the Omzian Navy is also in serious need of OTH targeting capability via unmanned systems, and as the Naval Aviation Corps is struggling to rely less on manned systems, making a joint requirement is an absolute priority. Therefore, it is our intention to propose a joint contract for the following systems:

2016x Eagle Eye II UAV = $14.112 billion
3240x Scorpion II UAV = $3.88 billion
1080x Notus LRUAV = $16.2 billion
1080x Freewind LRUAV = $13.5 billion
3600x Hammerhead AUAV = $10.8 billion
1512x Aeolus SEUAV = $6.048 billion

Furthermore, as we are highly interested in the UAVs, we would like to invite the CSJ military to browse our new Omzian OMASC product catalog as part of a possible technology exchange, involving the Duskrider UAV, the Zephyr UAV, and the Notus UAV. Because of this, we offer technologies for a variety of products, including our new B-106 bomber, the new carrier-based fighter (which could be a replacement for the F/A-18 or an alternative to the F-35C), the new STOVL aircraft (though not from OMASC), the WCMD-II project, and if possible, the new upgrades for the Omzian MRBMs as well. As well, as we also express our interest in the AGM/BGM-335 Pfelispitze and the AGM/BGM-337 Chevalier missiles, if the equipment offered meets the requirement of the CSJ military, we also inquire if it is possible to include the unit as part of the possible deal as well.

I can't seem to recall doing so, and you wouldn't be able to purchase all that otherwise.

And yes, the ULTRA series are priced a bit low. That was a bonus to my allies, who get them at the construction cost (meaning no real profit for the manufacturer). They also use less advanced components to keep price down as much as possible. A more realistic $1 billion+ price tag will be seen when they go to general export.

To: CSJMI
[Open Channels, OHDF]
From: OHDF Procurement Office, Ministry of National Defence

As CSJMI has rolled out a series of new and welcomed UAV units, the Omzian Air Force and Army reviewed them in anticipation as we are glad to announce that they met all of our requirements for replacing some of our out of date unmanned systems. As the Omzian Navy is also in serious need of OTH targeting capability via unmanned systems, and as the Naval Aviation Corps is struggling to rely less on manned systems, making a joint requirement is an absolute priority. Therefore, it is our intention to propose a joint contract for the following systems:

2016x Eagle Eye II UAV = $14.112 billion
3240x Scorpion II UAV = $3.88 billion
1080x Notus LRUAV = $16.2 billion
1080x Freewind LRUAV = $13.5 billion
3600x Hammerhead AUAV = $10.8 billion
1512x Aeolus SEUAV = $6.048 billion

110,000x Eurus B UAV = $2.75 billion

1152x Sparkler Batteries = $9.79 billion
62,208x CGM-399 Sparkler UAV = $4.6656 billion

2100x Duskrider SRUAV = $2.1 billion

48x E-15A Uhu AWACS = $36 billion
48x E-16A Night Owl JSTARS = $34.56 billion

60x C-248 ULTRA = $36 billion
60x C-252 FULTRA = $39 billion
120x C-220 GRA = $36 billion

As always, the terms of the Omzian request have been approved, and we expect delivery of the desired systems over a period of 5 NS years.

Regarding the technology trades, we have developed some interest in the B-106 and WCMD II series of bomb kits. Due to the long standing relationship between our two nations, and the value placed on the WCMD II series of weapons, we will accept those in exchange for rights to the systems requested. Though solid performers, the Smoke Jaguar military feels that the other aircraft provided by OMASC do not quite fit their needs, particularly as they are trying to keep the number of different airframe designs down, and with a high degree of commonality to help counter the increasing logistical problems suffered by a force of such size.

Omz222

29-12-2004, 08:26

As we eagerly await for the arrival of these units, we understand the Smoke Jaguar military's concern about the number of airframes and their desire to keep these numbers down, as with the current deal we are more than happy enough to provide the B-106 and the WCMD-II in exchange for these highly valuable unmanned systems and hypersonic missile systems. We anticipate that as the first batch of two installments are wired immediately, techanical documentations for both systems will be sent via both computer network-based routes and "hand-to-hand" routes, as a small team of engineers are also being sent to assist in the construction of the manufacturing facilities for the B-106, and the production of both units, to ensure that these units will possess the same performance.

As always, we are looking forward to all further developments by CSJMI, and as our military, diplomatic, and economical ties are once again strengthened with this particular case of cooperation, we are more than satisfied to be able to purchase military arms from CSJMI once again.

Our compliments to CSJMI,

Re: Defense Contract

The Republic of Tiborita is currently replacing some older units, and the Senate has passed an appropriations bill authorizing the purchase of the following from CSJMI.

1,728 F-23CSJ Black Widow II x $150 million = $259,200,000,000
360 P-7A Poseidon x $72 million = $25,920,000,000
2,880 AH-93A Firemoth x $23.2 million = $66,816,000,000
64 A-45 UCAV x $12 million = $768,000,000
64 RQ-3 Darkstar UAV x $11.7 million = $748,800,000
20 RQ-6 Outrider UAV (complete systems) x $9.8 million = $196,000,000
20,000 RGM-271C Shinma x $2 million = $40,000,000,000
81,300 AIM-201 Scorpion x $150,000 = $12,195,000,000
84,732 AIM-238 Cockatrice x $700,000 = $59,312,400,000
16 Peregrine HSV x $150 million = $2,400,000,000

The entire contract comes to a total of $467,556,200,000. We would like to be able to pay this over a two year period of 24 monthly installments of $19,481,510,000. We hope this is acceptable.

With the current state of your nation, we would advise against procuring heavy bombers such as the B-52H at this time. Even if only 10 of them, they would prove to be very expensive for you to operate and maintain. However, if they are truly desired, and you can pay us, we'll deliver.

If they are desired, the total comes to $1.092 billion, and the units will be shipped within 2 months of payment.

Everything on the third post (advanced systems) is restricted. I would have thought that it would be obvious from the big disclaimer at the beginning, but I appear to be mistaken. Some of those units will become available for general export once the overhaul is completed, but that may take a bit. Until then, go by what it says on the store.
I'm getting close to finishing the ground stuff, but there's so much extra that this will take awhile. I still have about two dozen units to generate stats for here, and a bit more work on the 18 (soon to be 20+) pages of new truck models, and then I'm going to have to figure out how I'm going to post this, as Jolt limitations will prvent me from updating this thead as I have been.

Edit: it would also be appreciated if this could be posted on the proper thread. I accept pooling purchases from multiple sections together (easier for both of us), but if every single thing is from the ground store, I'd prefer to have it posted there.

Well, there are a few reasons. I dropped the AL-52 because I do not believe that the fuselage of a B-52 has enough space to provide for an effective airborne laser system. A commercial airliner or military airlift unit is far more suitable due to higher payload and greater internal space. For that reason, I have airborne lasers on other platforms. Also, the RL airborne laser project has shown that it can't operate as planned, with much lower range and effectivness than promised, something that needs to be taken into account.
I have something similar to Silver Tower, but not for sale, mostly because it's difficult to get pricing information for a system like that.
On other notes, I've not employed plasma-yeild warheads, tin man battle armor, and a couple other more "out of there" ideas that have cropped up in Brown's novels, because they really don't work well as modern tech systems. Too futuristic, and there's no sign of such things anywhere near being fielded.

On a similar note, that's also why I don't use the Athena system (from Stephen Coonts' Minotaur). I don't believe it to be as effective as advertised, especially in an NS environment.

HEAVY FIGHTER AIRCRAFT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE:
For all aircraft units, two prices are listed. The second one in parenthesis () is the cost of a full package including the aircraft and all associated support to keep it flying for a standard 25 year peacetime service life. The lower price listed first is just for the basic airfram. We can work out production licenses for necessary spare parts, but otherwise, especially with our unique designs and modifications of existing ones, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST TAKING THE PACKAGE.

Also:
All units listed here in red print are advanced units that are only available to nations with MFN or NGS status, or as part of a special deal.
All units listed in blue print are extremely sensitive units that are only available to our closest allies or with special exceptions.

Finally:
Heavy fighters are defined as units designed to be capable of engaging in offensive air-to-air operations and weighing in excess of 27,000 kg at maximum takeoff. If separate versions of an airframe fall on both sides of this divider (ie F/A-18CD & F/A-18E/F, F-35A/B/C & F-35D/E/F), they will be split according to weight category. This has nothing to do with role or any other factors, just our classification system.

An upgraded version of the Kunai with new PD-576E pulse detonation engines, providing significant increases in speed and range through greater efficiency and smaller size, though the significant noise increase caused by these ensures that these will likely still take a second seat to the original unit in many militaries. Beyond the engines and a few minor changes to the airframe to accommodate the increased low-level speed, this is essentially the same aircraft.
Cost (Select Allies): $145 million ($275 million), $155 million ($300 million) for F-36E Naval variant

The long overdo replacement for the F-14 Tomcat. The aircraft is very similar in appearance to its predecessor, but has advanced composite construction, significantly increasing its payload capacity, and also allowing it to land with a full interceptor load (an F-14 cannot land on a carrier with a full load of 6 Phoenix missiles). It also has much more reliable and powerful engines, and a new radar system that can track up to four dozen targets out to 500 km, and engage up to 10 simultaneously. It’s also a superb dogfighter, with excellent agility (11 g), and its 3D thrust vectoring also helps it to take off from a carrier at higher weights. It also has the capability to support modern PGMs and standoff missiles, making it an excellent strike aircraft, and efforts have been made to reduce RCS, though it still carries all weapons externally so these are somewhat limited. Finally, it’s much more rugged and reliable than an F-14, requiring far less maintenance, and making it much cheaper to operate.
Cost: $80 million ($130 million)

A large, heavy interceptor and strike fighter that, in many ways, was the predecessor to the F-14. However, the long range intercept requirement was eventually dropped and this is primarily a strike aircraft, being unable to support missiles like the Phoenix. It does, however, provide excellent low-altitude performance and high payload, making it an ideal strike fighter. The aircraft is, however, not without its problems, most notably the fact that its underwing hard points prevent the wings from sweeping back when the plane is fully loaded. It’s also (naturally), not much of a dogfighter.
Cost: $35 million ($80 million)

The F-23 was designed as a faster and stealthier competitor to the F-22. It enjoys significant speed and RCS advantages, as well as greater range. However, it has a lighter weapons load and is not quite as agile in close-in engagements, particularly due to the lack of thrust vectoring, which is not possible with the airframe design (however, the same design reduces IR and Radar signatures considerably . . . ).
Cost: $80 million ($140 million)

Though it lacks the stealth of units like the F/A-22 and F-23, it’s faster, more agile, and can carry a far greater payload, making it an effective medium bomber or heavy strike aircraft. Currently, there are two versions: a single seater for air-to-air and light strike missions, and a two-seat fighter bomber for the interceptor and deep strike roles. As an interceptor, it is capable of carrying the long range Phoenix and AERAAM missiles.

IRST Range: 109 km
Based off of the F-15S/MTD, which was a demonstrator showing the value of canard foreplanes and, later, 2D thrust vectoring for STOL and low-speed performance. The F-15M/N differs in having full 3D thrust vectoring, as well as vastly improved avionics and design. While there has been a notable speed reduction, the aircraft is still quite powerful, and the much more sophisticated sensors ensure that it can still get the first shot off against opposing aircraft. In practice, this unit has been shown to be on par with contemporary aircraft such as the Rafale and later Su-27 variants, but with the added value of the fact that it can be upgraded from existing airframes, for dramatically lower costs. Like other Smoke Jaguar modifications, this aircraft has been optimized for use with our advanced Anti-G Suit technology, and the airframe is rated for 12G maneuvers.
Cost: $65 million ($115 million), $30 million (upgrade of existing F-15A/B/C/D)

This is a large, powerful interceptor aircraft designed as part of the Tornado program. Also known as the F.3, it is an excellent interceptor, boasting a long-range radar, high speed, and good scramble time, and it boasts 80-90% commonality with the IDS strike version. However, it should be noted that this is purely an interceptor, and does not fare well when stacked up against more agile fighters like the F-15 and Su-27, in a close-in engagement.

LIGHT FIGHTER AIRCRAFT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE:
For all aircraft units, two prices are listed. The second one in parenthesis () is the cost of a full package including the aircraft and all associated support to keep it flying for a standard 25 year peacetime service life. The lower price listed first is just for the basic airfram. We can work out production licenses for necessary spare parts, but otherwise, especially with our unique designs and modifications of existing ones, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST TAKING THE PACKAGE.

Also:
All units listed here in red print are advanced units that are only available to nations with MFN or NGS status, or as part of a special deal.
All units listed in blue print are extremely sensitive units that are only available to our closest allies or with special exceptions.

Finally:
Light fighters are defined as units designed to be capable of engaging in offensive air-to-air operations and weighing less than 27,000 kg at maximum takeoff. If separate versions of an airframe fall on both sides of this divider (ie F/A-18CD & F/A-18E/F, F-35A/B/C & F-35D/E/F), they will be split according to weight category. This has nothing to do with role or any other factors, just our classification system.

Radar Range: 110 km (normal), 70 km (look down)
A small, cheap fighter based on the F-5 Tiger II. This aircraft was a decent performer, especially good because of its low cost and easy maintenance, but was quickly overshadowed by the larger F-16. The Smoke Jaguar upgrade includes thrust vectoring, slightly improved radar, engines, and payload, and a more durable construction. Due in part to a new G-Suit design (two included), the aircraft’s load limit is increased from 9G to 11G, giving it decent maneuverability compared to many other fighters. The real advantage of this craft, however, is cost, and it’s far cheaper and easier to operate and maintain than almost any other aircraft listed here.
Cost: $25 million ($36 million)

An advanced derivative of the F-5E developed as a cost-efficient competitor to the F-16A Fighting Falcon, this unit is somewhat inferior in BVR engagements and lacks the endurance and payload of the larger F-16, but it does have one of the shortest scramble times of any aircraft, and a parked unit can attain an altitude of 8839 meters a mere 2 1/2 minutes after startup. This makes it ideal as a local defense interceptor. Add to that the fact that this has much lower operating and life cycle costs, and it becomes an attractive buy.
Cost: $20 million ($30 million)

An improved version of the F-5A Freedom Fighter that was intended as a cheap counter to the MiG-21. The aircraft’s dimensions were increased to allow for much more powerful engines, and a fire control radar was added, though the aircraft still lacks BVR engagement capability. Also, unlike the MiG-21 variants, the F-5E has a genuine ground attack capability, being able to use several PGMs.

STRIKE AIRCRAFT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE:
For all aircraft units, two prices are listed. The second one, in parenthesis (), is the cost of a full package including the aircraft and all associated support to keep it flying for a standard 25 year peacetime service life. The lower price listed first is just for the basic airframe. We can work out production licenses for necessary spare parts, but otherwise, especially with our unique designs and modifications of existing ones, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST TAKING THE PACKAGE.

Also:
All units listed here in red print are advanced units that are only available to nations with MFN or NGS status, or as part of a special deal.
All units listed in blue print are extremely sensitive units that are only available to our closest allies or with special exceptions.

Finally:
Strike aircraft are defined as units designed primarily for ground attack operations. While some possess significant air-to-air capability, they were all intended mostly for the strike role. This category also includes SEAD aircraft that don't have a full airborne jamming capability. In some cases (F-111 & FB-111, F-36 & FB-36, F/A-22 & FB-22), related airframes will be split between categories due to design goals and capabilities. Again, this is just our classification system.

Armament: 4xUnderwing pylon & internal bay for 17,007 kg (24 cluster bomb or Mk.20)
Armament (nuclear): 6xAGM-69 SRAM (2 internal, 4 external)
A medium bomber aircraft designed as a larger version of the F-111 fighter. It was meant as a stop-gap measure between the retirement of the B-58 and the employment of the B-1, but due to the delays of the B-1 program, it ended up with a long career, becoming a popular and respected aircraft in its own right. Though lacking in range compared to heavy bombers, this unit has very high speed and payload, and excellent low altitude performance, and has only a fraction of the cost of a heavy bomber like the B-1B. The original role was to deliver nuclear missiles to a target, in which case the aircraft could deliver 6 SRAM missiles, but the role was eventually changed (along with the designation – to F-111G) to fit a more conventional role.
Cost: $70 million ($130 million)

FB-22CSJ (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/fb-22-line.gif)
Crew: 2
Maximum Weight: 40,000 kg

Armament: Internal bomb bay and 2xHard point for 5400 kg (primarily 32xSDB, 2xAMRAAM, & 2xSidewinder internally)
An enlarged version of the F/A-22C Raptor (or upgrade of the FB-22A if you will) for the medium bomber role. Though it is still quite agile and capable of carrying air-to-air weapons, its primary role is that of a medium bomber, where it brings in its 5400 kg payload. It has much longer range the F/A-22, and carries over 2/3 of its armament internally. Naturally, external stores are often omitted as they increase radar signature.
Cost: $115 million ($200 million)

FB-22A (http://www.f5.dion.ne.jp/~mirage/message11/fb_22raptor.jpg)
Crew: 2
Maximum Weight: 38,548 kg

Speed: Mach 1.8 (1915 km/h), Mach 1.5 (1596 km/h) cruise
Radius: 2575 km
Ceiling: 18,000+m
Armament: Internal bay for 3000 kg (24xSDB + AAMs)
An enlarged F/A-22 with a much larger bomb bay to allow it to carry up to 24 SDBs, as opposed to the 8 of the F/A-22. It also has significantly greater range, boasting 80% more fuel, and higher speed with new engines, though at the cost of maneuverability.
Cost: $95 million ($160 million)

An advanced stealth strike aircraft designed to replace the A-6 intruder. The aircraft is extremely stealthy and well armed, and uses newer composites and technologies to counter the structural problems caused by the original design. All weapons are carried internally, and the aircraft's wings fold to take up even less space than current naval attack aircraft, allowing more to be carried aboard aircraft carriers.
Cost: $100 million ($175 million)

F-117A Nighthawk (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/f-117_96-016.jpg)
Crew: 1
Maximum Weight: 24,041 kg
Empty Weight: 13,835 kg
Length: 20.3m
Height: 3.8m

Combat Radius: 950 km
Ceiling: 13,716m
Armament: 2xWeapons bay for 2495 kg
Weapons Bay: 4.7m long, 1.75m wide
This is the famous stealth fighter, though technically it is a strike aircraft and should have an “A” designation. It is not very fast, and has a rather pitiful payload, but it can sneak into high-threat areas where other aircraft can’t go, and has excellent precision strike capability.
Cost: $40 million ($100 million)

A-15 Hammerhead
Crew: 2
Maximum Weight: 29,000 kg
Empty Weight: 10,213 kg
Length: 18.4m

Ceiling: 15,240m
Armament: 7xHard point for 1650 kg each (11,550 kg total), 2xLaunch position for Sidewinders or similar missiles
This is a new medium bomber that provides carriers with a heavy strike capability that they lost with the retirement of the A-6E. It has over 35% greater payload capacity than its closest current rival (the F/A-18SJ), and can deliver that load much further. The aircraft is rated for a full range of missiles and bombs, and can carry any weapon up to 1650 kg.
Cost: $60 million ($95 million)

A-15B Hammerhead
Crew: 2
Maximum Weight: 29,000 kg
Empty Weight: 10,213 kg

An improved A-6 aircraft with new sensors and engagement systems to provide a significantly enhanced PGM and missile platform, as well as increased range, speed, and payload.
Cost: $55 million ($90 million)

A-6E Intruder (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/a-6e-DF-ST-92-07837.jpg)
Crew: 2
Maximum Weight: 27,495 kg, (26,575 kg for carrier launch)
Empty Weight: 11,624 kg
Length: 16.69m
Height: 4.95m
Wingspan: 16.15m (7.72m w/ wings folded)
Speed: Mach .85 (1042 km/h) at sea level

Ceiling: 13,594m
Armament: 5xHard point for 1632.6 kg (8163 kg total), typically 28x500 lb bomb
An excellent all-weather day/night strike aircraft for carrier operations. Though not exceptionally fast or agile, it has a large payload and good range, and good air-to-ground avionics. It is, however, an old airframe and is suffering from the drawbacks of that age.
Cost: $45 million ($75 million)

F-32A Raiden UCAV (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/i42-002.jpg)
Crew: None
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 25,000 kg
Empty Weight: 12,000 kg
Length: 20.25m
Height: 6.39m
Wingspan: 16m
Maximum Speed: Mach 2.3 (2447 km/h), Mach 1.15 (1223 km/h) supercruise
Range: 4500 km w/ external tanks
Endurance: 2 hours @ 700-850 km radius (depending on mission)
Service Ceiling: 20,000m
Fuel: 9600 kg w/ external tanks
Armament: 9xHardpoint for 7000 kg
The first true UAV in Smoke Jaguar service, this unit is literally a combat aircraft designed without a pilot. The elimination of the pilot allowed for greater fuel and payload. The elimination of the pilot also allowed the aircraft to make full use of its durability, and this unit is rated at 24G, far surpassing all contemporary aircraft. The current generation is limited to a series of command-executed, and a few responsive, maneuvers, and has only limited autonomy, so there was little need for advanced sensor systems, with the aircraft instead receiving information from the controller. As AI technology matures, however, it may soon be found that the aircraft can operate effectively on its own, in which case there are provisions for adding powerful radars and other long-range sensors. This version of the unit is also limited primarily to ground attack roles, though again, a true dogfighting capability does exist, and will be exploited as computer technology matures.
Cost: $35 million ($65 million)

F-32B Raiden (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/i42-006.jpg)
Crew: 1
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 28,000 kg
Empty Weight: 14,000 kg
Length: 21.25m
Height: 6.39m
Wingspan: 16m
Maximum Speed: Mach 2.3 (2447 km/h), Mach 1.15 (1223 km/h) supercruise
Range: 4500 km w/ external tanks
Endurance: 2 hours @ 750-900 km radius (depending on mission)
Service Ceiling: 20,000m
Fuel: 10,600 kg w/ external tanks
Armament: 1x27mm cannon, 9xHardpoint for 6000 kg
While the Raiden was a satisfactory performer with the intended role and control system, it was recognized that in some instances (such as close air support), only an organic pilot at the scene can make the necessary decisions. To that end, a manned version was provided. Though it lacks the agility of the F-32A due to the pilot, this unit is still a solid performer. Unlike the A model, it boasts long-range radars, as well as a cannon, due to the fact that a manned aircraft does get significant benefit from such units. The F-32B is capable of controlling up to a full squadron of 18 F-32A aircraft, though in practice CSJ forces only operate with 1/3 of that to reduce the workload on the pilot.
Cost: $65 million ($110 million)

F-32C Raiden (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/i42-001.jpg)
Crew: 2
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 32,000 kg
Empty Weight: 15,000 kg
Length: 22.55m
Height: 6.45m
Wingspan: 16.5m
Maximum Speed: Mach 2.3 (2447 km/h), Mach 1.15 (1223 km/h) supercruise
Range: 4800 km w/ external tanks
Endurance: 2 hours @ 850-1000 km radius (depending on mission)
Service Ceiling: 20,000m
Fuel: 14,000 kg w/ external tanks
Armament: 1x27mm cannon, 9xHardpoint for 6000 kg
While the F-32A and B were more than satisfactory in their intended roles, it was determined that a two-seat version may be desirable. Specifically, this allows for a pilot to focus on his own aircraft, while a mission commander in the back seat deals with the unmanned units. This is especially valuable in combat situations where a pilot may be too busy focusing on his own unit to provide adequate control for the unmanned craft.
Cost: $80 million ($125 million)

F-105SJ Thunderchief (http://hometown.aol.com/gbasel1008/images/f-105(delta).jpg)
Crew: 1

Bomb load: up to 16 750-lb bombs, usually 6x750 or 5x1000 lb.
An update of the venerable F-105D for nations on a budget that require a high-speed, low-level strike aircraft. This unit possesses a modest PGM and missile capability, and can most non-GPS guided munitions. Though it lacks that particular capability, everything else, even including some cruise missiles, can be carried, and the low cost makes this a very attractive unit.
Cost: $20 million ($35 million)

Tornado IDS (http://www.combataircraft.com/aircraft/ftornids_p_05_l.jpg)
Crew: 2
Maximum Weight: 27,215 kg

-Centerline & Wing pylons have 1 Ejection Release Unit (ERU) each, 2 Fuselage pylons have 3 ERUs each.
A dedicated strike version of the Tornado (IDS stands for InterDictor Strike), this is also known as the Tornado GR.1. This is a fast, heavily armed aircraft optimized for high-speed, low-altitude bomb runs, though it is also a capable medium and high-altitude strike aircraft. This shares over 80% commonality with the interceptor version of the Tornado.
Cost: $35 million ($65 million)

Ceiling: 17,907m
Armament: 5xHard point for HARM, Maverick, ECM pods, and various other ordnance
A modified F-4E Phantom II with the gun removed and replaced with an AN/APR-47 electronic warfare system. This is the SEAD unit that eventually replaced the F-105G and earlier model F-4C Wild Weasels that used the Shrike missile. It has in turn been supplanted by less specialized F-16 aircraft with ECM pods.
Cost: $28 million ($55 million)

F-105G Wild Weasel (http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/research/fighter/f105g-3.jpg)

Bomb load: up to 16 750-lb bombs, usually 6x750 or 5x1000 lb. Capability for AGM-12 and AIM-9 missiles
The definitive version of the venerable “Thud.” Though this has an “F” designation, this is well and truly an attack aircraft, with only a fleeting capability for air-to-air combat from its 20mm cannon and handful of Sidewinder missiles. However, it has a good bomb load, excellent low-altitude performance, and is very cheap to purchase, operate, and maintain. The “D” variant differs from the original production version in having a radar to provide all-weather attack capabilities.
Cost: $11 million ($20 million)

F-105B Thunderchief (http://cybermodeler.com/aircraft/f-105/images/f-105b_57778.jpg)

-1905 kg innermost wing pylon (2)
-1361 kg inner wing pylon (2)
-544 kg outer wing pylons (4)
A counterpart to the A-114, the A-116 is slower and not quite as agile, but has much better protection and firepower, most notably from the new GAU-18/C cannon, which can penetrate 100mm of armor at ranges of 500m, and destroy most tanks at close range. Unlike its A-10 predecessor, the A-116 has a genuine PGM capability, as well as an advanced sensor suite to give it a true all-weather attack capability.
Cost: $32 million ($50 million)

A-114 Gunslinger (http://www.gla.ac.uk/~woody/pics/by-woody/aviation/su-25.jpg)
Crew: 1
Maximum Weight: 30,000 kg

Combat Radius: 1200 km
Ceiling: 12,000m
Armament: 1x30mm GAU-17/C cannon, 15xHardpoint for 9000 kg
This is a much larger aircraft designed to replace the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Compared to its predecessor, it's heavier, more powerful, better armed, better protected, faster, and more maneuverable. The aircraft also boasts superior detection and tracking systems, granting it a much greater degree of autonomy. It retains a heavy tank-killing punch with a new GAU-17/C cannon, which is smaller and slightly less powerful than the GAU-8/A. However, it's much more versatile, and has a selectable rate of fire for anywhere from 1000 to 5000 rounds per minute. In addition, 12 underwing and 3 fuselage hard points combine to hold a maximum payload of 9000 kg, over 40% more than the original A-10.
Cost: $28 million ($40 million)

A-10 Thunderbolt II (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/a-10_steve_doyle.jpg)

-1587 kg fuselage pylon (2)
-1587 kg innermost wing pylon (2)
-1134 kg inner wing pylon (2)
-453 kg outer wing pylons (4)
One of the deadliest ground attack aircraft in existence, this unit is built around the awesome 30mm GAU-8/A cannon, which is designed for destroying tanks. To back it up, it has a large number of hardpoints for various rockets, missiles, and bombs (cluster weapons like the Rockeye are especially popular). This aircraft is slow, but well protected, with numerous system redundancies and heavy armor, with the area around the cockpit able to withstand up to 37mm cannon fire, while many important systems are protected at least against 14.5mm, and often 23mm. It also adds to survivability with unique features such as wheels that will still roll in their housings, allowing belly landings with minimal damage, and the plane can still remain airborne with half a wing blown off, a feat that almost no other modern aircraft can claim. It’s also surprisingly agile, and the low speed makes it an excellent spotter unit, leading the OA-10 Forward Air Controller aircraft, which is a lightly armed version for finding and designating targets, and is sold here at the same price as the base unit.
Cost: $9 million ($15 million)

-4 outboard wing pylons hold up to 1587 kg each
-2 inboard wing pylons hold up to 1134 kg each
-Fuselage points hold up to 277 kg each (usually AIM-9 missiles)
A smaller attack aircraft based on the F-8 Crusader, this unit has been known for its excellent reliability, high accuracy, and relatively low cost, and is the unit that eventually replaced the A-4 Skyhawk. This provides an excellent attack unit for nations on a budget, and its small size makes it an attractive carrier aircraft.
Cost: $6 million ($12 million)

Jaguar (http://www2.odn.ne.jp/flip-around/military-aircraft/jaguar-gr1.jpg)

Combat Radius: 852 km hi-lo-hi
Armament: 2x30mm cannon (150 rounds ea), 7xHard point for 4536 kg
A cheap, effective light ground attack aircraft on par with the A-4. Though lacking in advanced avionics, it is still an effective unit with a decent load. It’s also notable in that it’s about the only production aircraft that includes overwing pylons, with two launch stations for AIM-9 Sidewinders mounted above the wing.
Cost: $18 million ($25 million)

A-4SJ Skyhawk III (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/a-4-DN-SC-88-06694.jpg)

Armament: 2x20mm cannon (200 rounds each) OR 2x30mm cannon (150 rounds each), 4xUnderwing & 1xFuselage hard point for 5038 kg
-Fuselage hard point holds up to 1764 kg
-Inboard hard points hold up to 1133 kg each
-Outboard hard points hold up to 504 kg each
A major update of one of the greatest strike aircraft of all time. The little A-4 is notable in having, pound for pound, the highest payload of any aircraft. It’s also surprisingly nimble and optimized for low-level flight. To that end, CSJMI has provided a modestly improved version, slightly larger and more durable than the original model, and taking advantage of the high payload and inherent simplicity to provide a low-cost light attack aircraft. This unit has quite the impressive payload, easily matching other planes twice its size. The main disadvantages are that it is, for the most part, a subsonic aircraft, and has a relatively short combat radius, as can be expected of such a small aircraft. On the other hand, it’s carrier capable, dirt cheap, and can use most bombs, ground attack missiles, and PGMs, and even some lighter antishipping missiles.
Cost: $12 million ($18 million)

-Inboard hard points hold up to 1020 kg each
-Outboard hard points hold up to 454 kg each
Missile Capabilities: AIM-9, Shafrir, AGM-12, AGM-62, AGM-65, Gabriel III
One of the most famous attack aircraft of all time, the A-4 has been known for having a phenomenal payload for its size, and provides a cheap, powerful attack unit. The “M” model boasts new engines and improved avionics, and is capable of carrying some missiles. This is also an excellent starting aircraft for carrier operations, being very small and taking up only a little over half the space of many more modern units.
Cost: $4 million ($8 million)

AV-8B Harrier II+ (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/harrier6.jpg)
Crew: 1
Maximum Weight: 14,061 kg
Length: 14.12m

Maximum Range: 1670 km
Combat Radius: 265 km high speed, low altitude
Takeoff Distance: 435m STOL
Armament: 1x25mm cannon w/ 300 rounds OR 2x25mm cannon w/ 100 rounds each (podded), 7xHard point for 4081 kg
The most current version of the venerable Harrier VTOL aircraft, noted for its ability to take off and land vertically, while still maintaining a decent payload. This aircraft has avionics improvements over the earlier Harrier II, which was a more powerful and longer ranged development of the original aircraft. It’s also notable in carrying two extra weapons stations (for AIM-9 Sidewinders) compared to the basic AV-8B. It has a decent payload for a unit of its size, and is surprisingly agile, able to handle maneuvers up to 8G. Still, it is primarily a ground attack unit, even though it makes a decent fighter, having the capability to launch the AMRAAM missile.
Cost: $30 million new ($55 million), $18 million for upgrade of AV-8B

AV-8B Harrier II (http://www.1stoppostershop.com/products/DareToMove/planes/dtm_BreatheEasier.jpg)

1x25mm cannon w/ 300 rounds OR 2x25mm cannon w/ 100 rounds each (podded), 5xHard point for 4081 kg
-454 kg centerline
-907 kg inboard wing
-454 kg mid wing
-286 kg outboard wing
A solid VTOL aircraft, and one of the few designs of the type to enjoy any real success. This unit addresses the range and payload issues of earlier models to provide a dedicated VTOL support platform. Though an agile aircraft and capable dogfighter, it lacks the capability to launch BVR attacks against aircraft, being dedicated solely to ground support.
Cost: $20 million ($45 million)

B-6B Armbrust (http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Rifts/Rifts-Earth-Vehicles/Soviet/NS_Tu-160L-4_Blackjack_Bomber.jpg)
Crew: 4
Maximum Weight: 330,000 kg
Empty Weight: 120,000 kg
Length: 59.5m
Height: 13.8m
Wingspan: 39.2m (minimum), 61.3m (maximum)
Speed: Mach 2.65 (2820 km/h) at altitude, Mach 1.08 (1325 km/h) at sea level
Range: 17,000 km w/ 25,000 kg, 12,000 km w/ 70,000 kg
Armament: 3xBomb bay & 6xExternal hard point for 70,000 kg
A variant of the B-6 upgraded with PDE power plants, providing notably increased speed and range. It’s also been strengthened for an increased payload of 70,000 kg, and it is actually capable of launching the AIM-441 Kai long-rang air-to-air missile, carrying up to18 externally. However, it must receive targeting information from another unit in order to fire them effectively.
Cost: $450 million ($750 million)

B-6A Armbrust (http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/russia/images/tu160_a.jpg)
Crew: 2-4
Maximum Weight: 300,000 kg
Empty Weight: 115,000 kg
Length: 59.5m
Height: 13.8m
Wingspan: 39.2m (minimum), 61.3m (maximum)
Speed: Mach 2.5 (2670 km/h) at altitude, Mach 1.02 (1250 km/h) at sea level
Range: 14,000 km w/ 22,000 kg, 10,000 km w/ 60,000 kg
Armament: 3xBomb bay & 6xExternal hard point for 60,000 kg
Typical Load: 12xPfeilspitze HSM on external hard points
A powerful heavy bomber. The B-6 Armbrust (crossbow) is not a very subtle unit. Though a notable degree of shaping and RAM coatings were applied, it still isn’t as stealthy as the later B-1 models. However, with the range of its primary weapon, the 2721 kg Pfeilspitze (arrowhead) scramjet missile, it can strike at targets up to 1080nm (2000 km) away, easily circumventing most defenses, with its high speed allowing it to escape before it can be intercepted by aircraft. As an antishipping unit, this can also carry a whopping 8 Lightning Bolt heavy antishipping missiles, making it a devastating weapon against naval formations. Even with the shorter range of these weapons, low altitude flight and the stealth features it maintains should allow it to get within effective range of most forces.
Cost: $400 million ($700 million)

MB-1K Megafortress II (http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/systems/images/b1-attack.jpg)
Crew: 2

Special Load: 4xLightning Bolt (2 external, 2 internal)
LADAR range: 100 km low-altitude
A very powerful version of the B-1 bomber. This unit utilizes a new composite structure to reduce RCS by over 50%, and utilizes a LADAR system along with the traditional radar, which though having reduced range at lower altitudes, is able to provide coverage in all directions. The aircraft provides all the missions of the original MB-52 Megafortress, but adds a much greater antishipping role, as well as an ABM role with the new Lancelot missile. It also has much greater automation, allowing for a crew of only 2, half that of the B-1B.
Cost: $350 million ($650 million)

MB-1J Harpy (http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/systems/images/b-1b_28.jpg)
Crew: 5
Maximum Weight: 218,000 kg

Range: 15,000 km
Armament: 33,000 kg of disposable stores (up to 84 weapons) in three bomb bays + 25,000 kg on six external fuselage hard points
This is a heavily modified B-1B aircraft, with similar improvements to the MB-52. New technologies have been applied to increase speed and range, while decreasing RCS. This unit is very unique in that it possesses the ability to fire just about any air launched weapon in service, combining the capabilities of the B-1B, B-1C, and B-1D aircraft, though there is a small payload reduction. The aircraft also has an extremely capable communications and ECM suite, and can be used as both a radar jamming or airborne control system with no modification.
Cost: $300 million ($550 million)

B-1B Lancer (http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/b-1b/images/b-1b_4.jpg)
Crew: 4
Maximum Weight: 216,326 kg

Range: 12,000 km
Armament: 34,013 kg of disposable stores (up to 84 weapons) in three bomb bays + 26,757 kg on six external fuselage hard points
A very fast, stealthy bomber for with a very large payload capacity that’s nearly twice that of the B-52. The aircraft usually flies at low altitude to help avoid detection, and can carry a wide array of guided missiles, free-fall bombs, and cruise missiles.
Cost: $180 million ($350 million)

B-1A Lancer (http://www.chez.com/thorby/Images/avions/B-1A.jpg)
Crew: 4
Maximum Weight: 176,780 kg

Range: 9820 km
Ceiling: 18,288m
Armament: 34,014 kg in three bomb bays + 18,141 kg on 4 fuselage hard points (nominally 32xSRAM)
Forerunner to the B-1B, this is a larger (but lighter) aircraft that lacks the low-altitude performance but is notably faster at high altitudes, being able to break Mach 2, and even cruise at almost Mach 1.Unfortunately, it does lack the stealthiness of the B-1B, making it vulnerable to advanced air defenses. However, it is significantly cheaper due to this.
Cost: $120 million ($250 million)

Range: 12,500 km
Ceiling: 15,240m
Armament: 20,000 kg of bombs (up to 88 weapons)
A somewhat larger and more capable version of the B-2A Spirit, this unit has modest speed, rang, and payload increases, but is notable in having made an effort to further reduce RCS through additional composite construction.
Cost: $1 billion ($1.5 billion)

B-2 Spirit (http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/systems/images/b2bombs.jpg)
Crew: 2-3
Maximum Weight: 181,406 kg

Range: 11,675 km
Ceiling: 15,240m
Armament: 18,140 kg of bombs (up to 80 weapons)
An extremely stealthy heavy bomber. It boasts a much lower speed and payload than its contemporaries, but makes up for that with a very low RCS, making it difficult to detect and track.
Cost: $800 million ($1.25 billion)

MB-52K Megafortress (http://www.megafortress.com/newsletter/mega32.jpg)
Crew: 4-5 (Pilot, Copilot, Defensive Systems Operator, Navigator/Bombardier, provisions for Engineer) + 3-4 transients
Maximum Weight: 225,000 kg
Speed: Mach .96 (1021 km/h)

A further improvement on the MB-52. This unit includes data-links, enhanced communications (including real-time sattelite downloads), and improved detection systems, including IIR, EO, and passive & active radars. Stealth features have also been improved significantly, along with the engines, and the aircraft is much stealthier than the B-1B. It also has much greater payload variety than the original unit, and can now accommodate any tactical missile or bomb that the B-52H can, as well as ALRAAM and AERAAM missiles. The unit also includes provisions for antishipping missiles and UAVs. Its roles have expanded to include maritime patrol and reconnaissance, reconnaissance, airborne jamming, bomber escort, and SAR support, along with the standard close support, SEAD, and deep-strike capacities.
Cost: $148 million new ($350 million), $25 million (upgrade of MB-52I)

Wingspan: 64.44m
Speed: Mach 0.845 (898 km/h)
Range: 9215 km
Payload: 124,000 kg
An alternative to the MB-380 series, this plane is based on the Boeing 747-400ERF, and has a payload about midway between the MB-380A and C models. However, it is notably lacking in range compared to the other units, and is based on an older and less advanced airframe design.
Cost: $255 million ($400 million), $60 million (upgrade of existing 747-400ERF)

MB-777 (http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/FRTypen/Fotos/Boeing/7773ERE.jpg)

Takeoff Distance: 3100m
Landing Distance: 1900m
Payload: 70,000 kg or up to 550 passengers
Another alternative to the huge MB-380 and MB-747 aircraft, this is a much more advanced plane based off of the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Though it has a lower payload than the other units, this one still has a great deal of cargo space, and is much cheaper to operate and maintain than its contemporaries, being a twin-engine aircraft rather than a 4-engine one.
Cost: $270 million ($420 million), $60 million (upgrade of existing 777-300ER)

MB-340 (http://www.bourget.free.fr/bourget99/A340600.JPG)

Endurance: 7 hours
Ceiling: 10,363m
Armament: 2xWeapons bay & 2xHard point for 3260 kg, or 3628 kg fuel
The old “hoover.” This is a powerful ASW patrol aircraft operated from carriers. With numerous detection systems, it’s quite capable of engaging submarines, and though its payload is rather light, it can carry Harpoon and Maverick missiles for the antishipping role. It is also capable of carrying buddy stores for refueling other aircraft, though the small payload seriously hampers its helpfulness there (it can only transfer about 3628 kg, compared to 10,000+ for those based on dedicated strike aircraft). The unit is also quite agile, and unlike other ASW patrol aircraft, stands a decent chance of surviving even where anti-aircraft threats are present.

A more unique gunship based on the A400M design, but this time equipped with primarily nonlethal weapons. The centerpiece of the design is the Mk.51 Enhanced Acoustic Cannon, an upgraded version of the EAR (Enhanced Acoustic Rifle) currently used by police and special forces. This weapon fires a wide-area sound pulse out to a range of 300m that is capable of completely knocking out unprotected humans, and as it uses sound waves, the effects can reach around corners and through tunnels, making it an extremely effective crowd control system. The unit is backed up by a pair of breech-loaded mortars which are primarily tasked with firing concussion, flash-bang, and tear gas shells. However, in emergencies, more lethal ammunition is also possible. The final system is a 40mm automatic grenade launcher, again primed primarily for nonlethal ammunition types, but with a capability to fire lethal rounds as well.

An advanced large AEW aircraft that combines the venerable A310-300 commercial airframe with an IAI Elta Radar, the same system used on the Phalcon. This is an ESA (Electronically Scanned Array) radar housed in a fixed radome above the aircraft, and permitting full 360 degree coverage out to very long range. An impressive cruise altitude of 12,500m also allows the aircraft to provide much better coverage against low-flying targets than many contemporary platforms. However, this is not a full AWACS system, as evidenced by the lower crew size, and doesn’t have anywhere near the massive engagement capabilities of more dedicated units. It is, however, notably cheaper than many comparable systems.
Cost: $250 million ($400 million)

C-130J-30 AEW (http://www.super-mystere.net/ci001/planche/images/full/26cc.jpg)

A version of the Embraer ERJ-145 business jet with the Erieye Airborne Radar System operated by the S100B. This has proven to be a more popular platform due to its greater endurance compared to theS100B. The Eeieye is a solid system, however, it does not offer full 360 degree coverage, and there is a significant drop in radar performance in 30-degree cones toward the front and rear of the aircraft. On the other hand, it’s much cheaper to operate and maintain small Erieye-based aircraft than the larger units, with operating costs stated as being 80% less than the E-2C and 95% less than the E-3.

CARGO AIRCRAFT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE:
For all aircraft units, two prices are listed. The second one, in parenthesis (), is the cost of a full package including the aircraft and all associated support to keep it flying for a standard 25 year peacetime service life. The lower price listed first is just for the basic airframe. We can work out production licenses for necessary spare parts, but otherwise, especially with our unique designs and modifications of existing ones, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST TAKING THE PACKAGE.

Also:
All units listed here in red print are advanced units that are only available to nations with MFN or NGS status, or as part of a special deal.
All units listed in blue print are extremely sensitive units that are only available to our closest allies or with special exceptions.

C-248 ULTRA (http://foxxaero.homestead.com/files/Boeing_Pelican02_WEB.gif)
Weight: 5,000,000 kg
Length: 121.9m
Wingspan: 152.4m
Speed: 400 km/h
Range: 20,000 km over water, 13,000 km over land
Ceiling: 6.01-15.2m for WIG, 6096m high-altitude cruise
Payload: 1,500,000 kg, or 1,200,000 kg + 2000 troops
This is the big daddy of transport aircraft. Its airframe takes advantage of extra lift provided by low level flight to allow for greater range and payload than any other type of cargo aircraft, though speed does suffer a bit. Its landing gear is also designed so that it can be supported by any current runway that’s long enough for landing. The one downside to this aircraft is that it relies on open terrain for the ground effect, and maneuvering through rough or mountainous areas would be extremely difficult at best. On the other hand, it provides the payload of a small cargo ship at several times the speed, and is ideal for overseas deployments.
Cost: $1.2 billion ($1.7 billion)

C-252 FULTRA (http://foxxaero.homestead.com/files/Boeing_Pelican_ULTRA_02.jpg)
Weight: 5,000,000 kg

Ceiling: 6.01-15.2m for WIG, 6096m high-altitude cruise
Payload: 1,200,000 kg or 3000 troops
A slightly modified version of the C-248 ULTRA. This version drops some of the range and payload capacity for more powerful engines, giving much higher flight speeds which are on par with slower strategic transports such as the C-130, providing faster deployment.
Cost: $1.4 billion ($2 billion)

C-5B Galaxy (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/c-5-DFST9803610_JPG.jpg)

This is a huge cargo aircraft that’s capable of transporting even tanks, self-propelled howitzers, and even large helicopters (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/c-5-9.jpg). The cargo bay runs the entire length of the fuselage, with a small passenger cabin and crew stations above. The aircraft has cargo ramps in both the front and rear (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/c-5-2.jpg), allowing for decreased load time, or, if necessary, for it to be both loading and unloading simultaneously. In addition to a 73-seat rear compartment above the cargo deck, it has a forward compartment that accomodates an operating crew of 21 - a 6-man crew, a 7-man relief crew, and 8 mail/message courriers. Both compartments have galleys for preparing food, as well as lavatories. Additionally, some 367 seats can be placed in the cargo area for troop transport.
Cost: $142 million ($200 million)

-1 5-ton Truck, 1 8-ton Truck, & 40 troops OR
-2 HMMWVs & 40 troops OR
-5 MMMWVs & 32 troops OR
-1 MLRS launcher w/ rockets
This unit is the replacement for the aging C-130 Hercules aircraft. Though there have been numerous upgrades, the only real reason the C-130 was kept in service was its unparalleled ground maneuverability, allowing it to take off and land from unprepared fields that few long-range transports would dream of. Now, with new technology, it has become possible to improve upon the performance of the C-130, with the result being the C-286 Atlas aircraft. This plane, using an advanced tailless tilt-wing design, is capable of taking off and landing with surprisingly little space, easily eclipsing the capability of the venerable Hercules. In addition, this unit has twice the payload capacity of even the lengthened C-130J-30, and a modest improvement in both speed and range. All this combine to make the Atlas a truly revolutionary light strategic transport.
Cost: $75 million ($120 million)

A relatively modern variant of the C-130 Hercules, which is probably among the best cargo and multirole aircraft of all time. It boasts a low cost, relatively good range and payload, and the ability to take off and land from just about any flat strip of earth that's long enough, allowing it to operate in areas where no other cargo aircraft can. The only downside is that it's rather small compared to many newer aircraft.

TANKER AIRCRAFT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE:
For all aircraft units, two prices are listed. The second one, in parenthesis (), is the cost of a full package including the aircraft and all associated support to keep it flying for a standard 25 year peacetime service life. The lower price listed first is just for the basic airframe. We can work out production licenses for necessary spare parts, but otherwise, especially with our unique designs and modifications of existing ones, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST TAKING THE PACKAGE.

Also:
All units listed here in red print are advanced units that are only available to nations with MFN or NGS status, or as part of a special deal.
All units listed in blue print are extremely sensitive units that are only available to our closest allies or with special exceptions.

Finally:
Tanker aircraft are considered as units designed primarily for offloading fuel to other aircraft. However, most of these have other capabilities. Those based on transport aircraft can still be equipped to haul cargo and passengers, and those based on combat aircraft still have at least some degree of air-to-air and/or air-to-ground capability.

This is a large multirole aircraft designed to fill not only the tanker, but passenger, cargo, and medevac roles as well. To that end, it boasts a modular interior that’s easily changed to accommodate different loadings. Being based on a commercial off the shelf design (Airbus A310), this unit is not that expensive, and is an excellent contender in the aerial refueling role.
Cost: $125 million ($200 million), $45 million (upgrade of existing A310)

KC-130J (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/kc-130f-DN-SC-82-04930.jpg)

Maximum Weight: 33,000 kg
Maximum Speed: Mach 2 (2128 km/h)
Range: 3860 km ferry
Radius: 900 km
Payload: 14,000 kg fuel
A modified F/A-18SJ that provides a much needed aerial tanker capability to carriers, which has been lost since the KA-6D was retired, thus reducing the operational range and endurance of their planes. Though other aircraft, particularly the S-3 Viking, can carry buddy stores, it’s only a fraction of what a dedicated heavy tanker can do. To fill this void, the KA-18SJ was commissioned to provide a dedicated tanker aircraft to carriers that lacked A-6 series units. It’s much more survivable than the KA-6, being fast, agile, and still combat capable, though with some systems notably degraded

UPDATE

Well, I've decided to do this update a bit differently, completing all the necessary stuff for one index post at a time. For now, we have all the normal fixed wing aircraft up. This includes about 80 new units, give or take.
Next up is helicopters, eventually followed by oddities (UAVs, Airships, WIGs)

The Armed Republic of Teh Hax needs 8 C-252 FULTRA. The total cost is $5,200,000,000.
We are afraid that the FULTRA is considered an advanced unit and is sold only to select nations or those that provide an agreeable deal. We do not just give these units away.
Additionally, the $650 million price tag was an introductory price for our allies, sold at a loss. The current price is now over twice that.

PLEASE NOTE:
For all aircraft units, two prices are listed. The second one, in parenthesis (), is the cost of a full package including the aircraft and all associated support to keep it flying for a standard 25 year peacetime service life. The lower price listed first is just for the basic airframe. We can work out production licenses for necessary spare parts, but otherwise, especially with our unique designs and modifications of existing ones, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST TAKING THE PACKAGE.

Also:
All units listed here in red print are advanced units that are only available to nations with MFN or NGS status, or as part of a special deal.
All units listed in blue print are extremely sensitive units that are only available to our closest allies or with special exceptions.

-150x80mm rocket, 12xATAS or 4xSidewinder (close support)
-12xAMRAAM (requires external source for radar information), 6xSidewinder, 4xATAS (air attack)
A very large, powerful attack helicopter designed to augment, and potentially replace, the AH-93 series. This unit is even more powerful than its predecessor, and boasts a similar weapons configuration, but with added capability regarding Locust missile pods and improved acquisition and targeting systems.
Cost: $35 million ($60 million)

AH-93C Firebird (http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/ka50/images/ka50_4.jpg)
Crew: 2
Maximum Weight: 12,586 kg
Empty Weight: 8964 kg
Length: 16.8m (17.92m w/ rotors turning)
Height: 5.03m (4.06m w/ landing gear retracted)

Weapons Load: 36xAGM-221, 152xHydra, 20xAGM-194, 6xAGM-65, or 4xAGM-136 underwing; and 8xATAS or 4xAIM-9X Sidewinder on wingtips
An upgraded version of the AH-93A with a higher payload, better protection, and a number of new and enhanced systems. At the top of the list is the Stenton engagement package, which includes a new radar system, backed up with enhanced FLIR and EO sensors, and provides the capability to fire the new AGM-221 missile. Another notable upgrade is the ability to support the AIM-9X Sidewinder, with the missile's seeker slaved to the HMS used for aiming the 30mm gun. Larger wings, stronger pylons, and the increased payload of the aircraft allow a number of odd systems to be added, including AGM-194 Locusts, a number of lighter missiles for fixed-wing aircraft (Maverick, HARM, Tacit Rainbow, etc), and even AMRAAM missiles. New armor provides protection against 35mm weapons in critical areas, and at least 7.62mm AP for other sections.
Cost: $29.6 million ($50 million)

AH-93A Firemoth (http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/ka50/images/ka50_5.jpg)
Crew: 2
Maximum Weight: 11,818 kg

Typical Load: 16xHellfire (outboard), 38xHydra (inboard), 8xATAS (wingtip)
This is an advanced heavy attack helicopter designed to take advantage of coaxial rotor technology. The coaxial counter-rotating rotor system negates the need for a tail rotor, which is one of the most vulnerable points of most attack helos, and thus increases survivability. Also, because of this, this aircraft is unaffected by wind strength and direction, has an unlimited hovering turn rate, and gives a smaller profile and acoustic signature. The Firemoth is equipped with the Longbow radar of the AH-64D, and is thus capable of launching the "fire-and-forget" Longbow Hellfire. A more advanced version, using an indigenous missile and fire control system, is reportedly in the works.
Cost: $23.2 million ($40 million)

AH-64D Longbow Apache (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/ah-64d-image25.jpg)
Crew: 2

Armament: 1x30mm cannon w/ 1200 rounds, 4xHard point @ 2xWing Rail for 1360 kg, typically 8xHellfire, 38x70mm rocket, 4xStinger
A newer version of the Apache helicopter with improved engines and a Longbow Radar. The radar provides targeting information for the Longbow Hellfire missile, which uses a millimeter wave radar instead of the standard laser guidance, and is a true fire-and-forget weapon, allowing the AH-64D to engage multiple targets quickly and without exposing itself to hostile fire.
Cost: $20 million new ($35 million), $7.9 million (remanufacture of AH-64A)

AH-64A Apache (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/ah-64_009.jpg)

Armament: 1x30mm cannon w/ 1200 rounds, 4xHard point @ 2xWing Rail for 1360 kg, typically 8xHellfire & 38x70mm rocket
A large, powerful and advanced attack helicopter. It’s heavily armored, and able to withstand light cannon fire, and also boasts an excellent payload unmatched by most other helicopters. The only weakness is one inherent in almost all attack helicopters, and that is that they primary weapon – the Hellfire antitank missile – is laser guided, and the target must be painted by either the launching aircraft, or an air or ground scout for the entire duration of the missile’s flight, or it will almost certainly fail to hit the target. This naturally leaves units vulnerable to return fire while engaging.
Cost: $15.2 million ($30 million)

MH-108B Miami AEW
Crew: 6 (AEW), 2 + 24 (transport)
Maximum Weight: 18,400 kg
Empty Weight: 11,600 kg
Length: 12.75m (fuselage), 19.5m (rotors turning), 15m (folded for storage)
Height: 5.5m
Width: 4.5m
Rotor Diameter: 19.5m
Speed: 315 km/h max, 275 km/h cruise, 240 km/h economical
Range: 1200 km normal, 2050 km ferry
Endurance: 5 hours loaded
Ceiling: 6000m
Radar Range: 215 km (fighter), 420 km (bomber), 225 km (ground mapping)
Max Targets: 1000 tracked, 50 engaged (AEW); 5000 tracked (ground surveillance)
A much more powerful alternative to the EH-101 Merlin AEW aircraft and Cougar HORIZON, this was developed in response to the current conditions of the modern battlefield. Different mission packages, that can be swapped in the field, allow this to operate in both ground mapping and AEW capacities, both making use of data-links and ships or ground stations to provide increased processing and tracking capabilities. In the AEW arena, this is almost up to par with an E-2C in capability, though still lacking somewhat in the number of targets that can be tracked and detection range. It nonetheless provides a superior detection platform for surface units that can’t employ fixed wing aircraft, and is much cheaper than most fixed-wing AEW aircraft. As a ground mapping unit, it’s similarly versatile in being able to operate in areas where a normal JSTARS, ASTOR, or similar aircraft cannot, due to either survivability or logistical concerns, making it an excellent low cost alternative.
Cost: $95 million ($175 million)

EH-101 Merlin AEW (http://navy-matters.beedall.com/images/merlin-aew.jpg)

Radar Range: 160 km (fighter), 300 km (bomber)
Max Targets: 600 tracked
An AEW version of the EH-101 using the same system as the Sea King ASaC Mk.7C. It has longer range, greater survivability, and superior processing power than its contemporary, but is much more expensive.
Cost: $70 million ($125 million)

Sea King ASaC Mk.7C (http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/airshow04/yeovilton/27aew.jpg)

Speed: 256 km/h, 185 km/h cruise
Range: 740 km
Endurance: 4 hours, or 2 hours @ 185 km radius
Ceiling: 4572m
Radar Range: 150 km (fighter), 250 km (bomber)
Max Targets: 16 tracked, 4 engaged
An airborne early warning version of the Sea King helicopter with Searchwater radar, allowing it to track surface and airborne targets, providing a modest AEW capability for ships (and forces) that can’t operate larger fixed-wing AWACS aircraft like the E-2. However, it has limited systems, and can only track 16 targets, directing interception of up to 4 via verbal direction. Hence, it is not effective in protecting against missile strikes. On the other hand, it can also be easily modified for a transport role, in which case it can carry 16 troops.

Speed: 124 knots (230 km/h)
Endurance: 3 hours on station
Range: 100 nm (185 km)
Payload: 24 kg (primarily EO/IIR)
A small VTOL (read helicopter) UAV designed for use on naval vessels as a spotter, specifically for over-the-horizon attacks using missiles, with a gunfire support role on larger ships. With a standard radius of up to 185 km, this unit allows for detection and tracking of surface targets out to ranges exceeding those of the weapons carried by most fast missile boats. However, it has an on-station endurance of only 3 hours, and thus cannot be used indefinitely. Information is transmitted back to the operating ship via a two-way datalink, and the aircraft uses a combination of small size and stealthy design (including a shrouded rotor) to avoid detection. Stealth is further assisted by the lack of active detection systems, meaning that the target will receive no telltale signs that it’s being observed. Like its larger cousin, the Duskrider has an autopilot capability, which includes automatic takeoff, landing, position hold, and waypoint flying capabilities, allowing it to operate in many instances without any ground control after takeoff.
Cost: $1.5 million ($2 million)

Scorpion II UAV (http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/systems/images/9800321.jpg)
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 200 kg

Speed: 130 knots (235 km/h)
Radius: 120 nm (222 km)
Endurance: 3 hours on station
Ceiling: 4570m
Payload: 25 kg
A unique approach to STOL requirements, the Scorpion uses “freewing” technology, in which there is a fuselage that pivots relative to the wing surface. This allows for short take off and landing runs, and has an added bonus of allowing for greater stability in turbulent conditions.
Cost: $1.5 million ($2 million)

A larger version of the Eurus system designed for operation at the platoon and company level. It can be carried either by vehicle, or broken down into components to allow 2-3 soldiers to share the load. With nearly twice the endurance and several times the payload of the smaller A model, this is an effective unit for providing small units with realtime reconnaissance. Unlike the RQ-11 Raven, this unit’s sensors incorporate an effective zoom function, making it much more suitable for identifying small features, and providing increased effective detection range.
Cost: $25,000

Eurus A UAV
Weight: 10 kg
Endurance: 15 min
Radius: 1 km
Payload: 0.5 kg
A small tactical UAV providing reconnaissance for individual soldiers and units up to squad level. Though very short ranged, the system is useful in detecting possible ambushes and looking around obstacles. The system is relatively light, and can be carried by an individual soldier. Its surveillance information is sent directly back to the soldier through a separate portable computer, or Land Warrior or similar system.
Cost: $5000

A full system includes 1 container unit, 15 UAVs, and associated communications and control equipment.
Cost: $2.5 million per system, $100,000 per vehicle

CGM-399 Sparkler (http://www.vectorsite.net/twuav_84.jpg)
Weight: 150 kg
Length: 1.85m
Height: 0.56m
Wingspan: 2.26m
Speed: 185 km/h, 130 km/h cruise
Combat Range: 400 km
Endurance: 4 hours @ 400 km
Payload: 25 kg warhead
Guidance: Passive Radar, IIR, or EO
A smaller and cheaper complement to the long-range bottle rocket UAV. Though the Sparkler lacks the range and endurance of its predecessor, it boasts better targeting and the capability of engaging a wide variety of targets aside from the radars its predecessor did. After launch, the aircraft follows a series of waypoints to reach its target area, and then flies a racetrack pattern while waiting for an assigned target to appear. If a target is detected, the aircraft will dive straight down, striking its target almost vertically, giving a solid capability against all armored vehicles and many ships, while simultaneously reducing the effectiveness of any countermeasures that might be deployed. Due to the unit’s small size, passive sensor load, and simple propulsion (piston engine), it is extremely difficult to detect by any means, giving an excellent degree of surprise when engaging. The UAVs are deployed on trucks, with each vehicle in a separate sealed launch container. A single truck will carry 18 units, with a battery being 3 trucks and a ground control station.
Cost: $8.5 million per battery (includes 108 UAVs), $2.75 million per truck (includes 36 UAVs), $75,000 per UAV

Sea Ferret
Weight: 65.76 kg
Length: 2.286m
Speed: 555 km/h max, 148 km/h min
Range: 685 km w/ 2 hour loiter
Warhead: 9.07 kg
A small cruise missile intended for attacking light targets (SAM launchers, CPs, etc) that is capable of both receiving instructions from and sending data back to its operators. Due to its small size, the cruise missile is very hard to detect, let alone engage, and is also a very cheap unit considering its capabilities.
Cost: $200,000

CQM-217 Firecracker (http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/ycqm-121a.jpg)
Weight: 180 kg w/o booster
Length: 2.21m
Height: 0.64m
Wingspan: 2.62m
Speed: 350 km/h, 160 km/h cruise
Range: 1000 km w/ 75-225 min loiter
Endurance: 10 hours
Ceiling: 3500m
Payload: AN/ALQ-334 Tactical Jamming System
This is a small UAV with a tactical jamming system, which is used as an airborne standoff jammer for ground and naval forces, which are rather lacking in that capability. The primary role of the unit is to suppress enemy ground and surface search radars, particularly firefinding radars that pinpoint artillery positions. A secondary mission is to provide jamming cover against short ranged air defense systems for protection of helicopter forces. Finally, it can provide limited cover for missile strikes, degrading air defenses enough to moderately decrease the chances of interception. The vehicles are relatively cheap and easily mass-produced, and are launched from a 15-round container unit. A full system includes 1 container unit, 15 UAVs, and associated communications and control equipment.
Cost: $3 million per system, $130,000 per UAV

The second one, in parenthesis (), is the cost of a full package including the aircraft and all associated support to keep it flying for a standard 25 year peacetime service life. The lower price listed first is just for the basic airframe. We can work out production licenses for necessary spare parts, but otherwise, especially with our unique designs and modifications of existing ones, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST TAKING THE PACKAGE.

Also:
All units listed here in red print are advanced units that are only available to nations with MFN or NGS status, or as part of a special deal.
All units listed in blue print are extremely sensitive units that are only available to our closest allies or with special exceptions.

CG-12 Gyrocaptain
Crew: 5
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 3,200,000 kg VTOL, 4,100,000 kg STOL
Speed: 600 km/h @ 12,000m, 300 km/h @ sea level
Payload: 907,029 kg
Range: 8000 km STOL w/ 907,000 kg
-4800 km VTOL w/ 907,000 kg
-8360 km VTOL w/ 604,600 kg
-12,880 km VTOL w/ 302,000 kg
-17,400 km VTOL ferry
A massive heavy-lift gyroplane with a cargo capacity only rivaled by the huge ULTRA series WIG aircraft. However, unlike the ULTRA, it is capable of taking off and landing vertically, allowing it to operate from and deliver cargo to areas with no prepared runways, making it a valuable heavy lift asset. Of course, this comes at a price, and the new unit is quite expensive, but the capability it adds to transport units is unparalleled.
Cost: $800 million ($1.3 billion)

UG-1 Gyrfalcon (http://www.cartercopters.com/images/heli_side_3d.jpg)
Crew: 2 + 1-3
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 70,000 kg VTOL, 90,000 kg STOL
Speed: 700 km/h @ 12,000m, 350 km/h @ sea level
Payload: 20,400 kg
Passengers: 140 troops, 102 paras, or 100 litters
Range: 4000 km STOL w/ 20,400 kg
-2400 km VTOL w/ 20,400 kg
-4180 km VTOL w/ 13,600 kg
-6440 km VTOL w/ 6800 kg
-8700 km VTOL ferry
A smaller, more versatile gyroplane in the class of the C-130 Hercules aircraft. It has greater range, greater speed, and similar payload to the C-130J, but with the added bonus of true VTOL capability. Of course, with it costing twice as much, the cost alone could prevent it from becoming a complete replacement.
Cost: $100 million ($160 million)

UV-72 (http://www.aric.or.kr/trend/aerospace_report/images/V_STOL_1999_02.jpg)
Crew: 2 + 1-3

Speed: 520 km/h
Payload: 18,000 kg
Passengers: 98 troops, 72 paras, or 70 litters
Range: 5000 km ferry
A large quad tiltrotor aircraft based on the MV-67, and a possible alternative to the UG-1. Though generally comparable, it is notably inferior in payload, speed, and range. However, it is designed for naval operations, where it is much more versatile than the UG-1, as it can be adapted to fill a variety of additional roles, including aerial refueling of aircraft and helicopters.
Cost: $100 million ($160 million)

MV/HV-67B Harpy (http://www.specwarnet.com/vehicles/v22_folded_hangar.jpg)
Crew: 4
Maximum Weight: 32,000 kg self-deploy, 29,090 kg STOL, 25,125 kg VTOL

Length: 19m (20.87m folded)
Height: 7.32m (6m folded)
Wingspan: 28m (6.1m folded)
Speed: 700 km/h in airplane mode, 195 km/h in helicopter mode
Range: 4200 km ferry w/ 1 refueling
Radius: 1000 km long-range SOF mission
Payload: 24 troops or 8,000 kg
Special operations version of the MV-67 Harpy with active countermeasures suite, passive detection systems, and increased low-altitude endurance. HV-67B is a CSAR bird with only a few slightly different systems.
Cost: $80 million ($125 million) MV-67B, $75 million ($120 million) for HV-67B

MV-67 Harpy (http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/osprey/images/osprey7.jpg)
Crew: 3-4
Maximum Weight: 32,000 kg self-deploy, 29,090 kg STOL, 25,125 kg VTOL
Empty Weight: 16,700 kg
Length: 19m (20.87m folded)
Height: 7.32m (6m folded)
Wingspan: 28m (6.1m folded)
Speed: 700 km/h in airplane mode, 195 km/h in helicopter mode
Range: 4200 km ferry w/ 1 refueling
Radius: 650 km land assault w/ 30 troops, 130 km w/ 5300 kg external load, 550 km w/ 2500 kg load
Payload: 30 troops or 10,500 kg, up to 8000 kg external
A second-generation tilt rotor aircraft that addresses many of the problems of the slightly smaller V-22. It provides a fast, versatile unit for deploying light amphibious forces, as well as SAR and special forces insertion/extration missions. The airframe can also be modified for various EV and reconnaissance roles, though we do not yet offer any such modifications ourselves.
Cost: $60 million ($95 million)

MV-22 Osprey (http://www.german-helicopter.com/statdispl/orig/osprey_approach_phases.jpg)
Crew: 3
Maximum Weight: 27,438 kg self-deploy, 24,943 kg STOL, 21,542 kg VTOL
Empty Weight: 15,177 kg
Length: 17.48m (19.2m folded)
Height: 6.73m (5.51m folded)
Wingspan: 25.78m (5.61m folded)
Speed: 581 km/h max, 444-476 km/h cruise
Range: 2036 km, 3886 km ferry (w/ 1 refueling)
Radius: 532 km STOL w/ 24 troops or 2721 kg
-497 km VTOL w/ 24 troops or 2721 kg
-204 km VTOL w/ 3764 kg
-567 km STOL pre-assault raid w/ 18 troops
-93 km w/ 4535 kg external load

Payload: 24 troops, 12 litters, or 9072 kg, up to 6803 kg external
Cabin: 7.37m long, 1.83m high, 1.83m wide
A large, versatile tiltrotor unit that’s used primarily for amphibious assault. The tilt-rotor technology allows it to takeoff and land like a helicopter, but fly with the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft. However, the system is very complex and results in an aircraft that is quite expensive to acquire and maintain, especially for the utility it possesses. On the other hand, it can be folded into impressively small dimensions, making it very useful in the cramped conditions of most carriers and helicopter landing ships.
Cost: $45 million ($75 million)

Skycat 1000 (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/skycat_200_mil_01.jpg)
Crew: 2-24
Length: 260m (60m cargo bay)
Width: 65m (8m cargo bay)
Speed: 203 km/h, 185 km/h cruise
Range: 7408 km
Cruise Altitude: 2745m
Payload: 1,000,000 kg
A very large airship (the largest in a series of 3) designed for long-range transport of heavy loads. Though slow, this unit is capable of handling extremely heavy loads and picking up, or deploying, them in any sufficiently large clearing. The unit is also quite capable of landing on water, giving even greater versatility.
Cost: $400 million ($500 million)

Skycat 200 (http://www.aerospace-technology.com/projects/skycat/images/SkyCat_1.jpg)
Crew: 2-14
Speed: 166 km/h, 139 km/h cruise
Range: 5970 km
Cruise Altitude: 2745m
Payload: 200,000 kg
A smaller version of the Skycat with about 1/5 of the payload. This is still in the class of extremely heavy lift aircraft such as the C-5 and An-124, with the versatility and survivability of an airship.
Cost: $90 million ($115 million)

CL-160 (http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/FRTypen/FRfotzi2/CargoLi.jpg)
Crew: 12
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 450,000 kg
Length: 260m (60m cargo bay)
Width: 65m (8m cargo bay)
Speed: 135 km/h, 80-100 km/h cruise
Range: 10,000 km
Cruise Altitude: 2000m
Payload: 160,000 kg
A large, semi-rigid airship for transporting outsize loads. Though it lacks the speed of other aircraft, it can pick up and deliver the loads anywhere, even where there is insufficient space for a VTOL unit to land and unload. It also has excellent range, and an inherent durability that makes it quite attractive for the intended role.
Cost: $75 million ($100 million)

Skycat 20 (http://www.aerospace-technology.com/projects/skycat/images/SkyCat_3.jpg)
Crew: 2-8
Speed: 148 km/h, 130 km/h cruise
Range: 2268 km w/ 20,000 kg, 7408 km ferry
Cruise Altitude: 2745m
Payload: 20,000 kg
The smallest version of the Skycat, with a payload equivalent to a C-130.
Cost: $10 million ($15 million)

WG-148 Seraphim (http://jpcolliat.free.fr/ekra/images/lun1.jpg)
Crew: 34
Weight: 744,000 kg
Length: 101m
Wingspan: 56m
Height: 24m
Speed: 450 km/h
Range: 2200 km
Armament: 6xCrossbolt or 12xFirebolt
The last of the large wing-in-ground effect “ships.” This unit is a scaled up Harpy that uses the more powerful Crossbolt missiles, or a larger battery of Firebolts. It doesn’t have quite the speed or range of its smaller cousin, but is still exceptionally fast and lethal.
Cost: $300 million ($500 million)

WG-115 Dragonfly (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/row/rus/project-903-image1.jpg)
Crew: 28
Weight: 400,000 kg
Length: 73.8m
Wingspan: 44m
Height: 19.2m
Speed: 550 km/h cruise (100 km/h in displacement position)
Range: 3000 km cruise (400 km in displacement position)
Armament: 6xFirebolt
Yet another wing-in-ground effect unit, this time carrying antishipping missiles instead of cargo and passengers. This is used as a fast attack missile boat, and its speed makes it phenomenally difficult to counter, and it does have sufficient range to operate offshore, though it’s still mainly a littoral warfare unit.
Cost: $200 million ($320 million)

WG-108 Harpy (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/row/rus/orlyonok.jpg)
Crew: 6
Weight: 140,000 kg
Length: 58m
Wingspan: 31.5m
Height: 16m
Speed: 370 km/h
Range: 1018 km @ 333 km/h
Payload: 20,000 kg + 200 troops
This is another wing-in-ground effect aircraft (using a similar concept as the ULTRA). However, it normally flies at an altitude of only a few meters, and is often used more like a fast transport ship than an aircraft. Though it is capable of flying at decent altitudes, it’s much more efficient when flying a sea-skimming profile. Vessels like these are usually classified as ships, as they normally operate similar to hovercraft. Only the capability for high-altitude flight places them here.
Cost: $80 million ($140 million)

Again we look to you esteemed storefront for yet more possible aircraft procurement. After we purchased your attack helicopter and feild tested them for battle, we were far more impressed than we thought we would be. We have chosen that your storefront would be used to cover up yet another gap in our military services.

Stevid is using old plane fuselages (The Vulcan Bomber for example) while up dating the plane's systems. This is merely cost effective and does little to improve it's payload and performance. We are looking to add a new strike force of bombers to our air fleet. Your storefront seems to have something we liked.

We would like to purchase the following Bomber craft:

100x B-6A Armbrust (700 Million USD) = 7 Billion USD

We understand that this aircraft is a pretty sensitive unit, however we are hoping that our continued use of your storefront and hopefully your understanding will allow this deal to go through. We will be perchasing some more missiles from your other storefront in due course if this deal gos through.

Thank you.

We would like to purchase the following Bomber craft:

100x B-6A Armbrust (700 Million USD) = 7 Billion USD

We understand that this aircraft is a pretty sensitive unit, however we are hoping that our continued use of your storefront and hopefully your understanding will allow this deal to go through. We will be perchasing some more missiles from your other storefront in due course if this deal gos through.

Thank you.
In light of the previous offers, CSJMI has been permitted to sell the B-6A aircraft, and we anticipate that delivery of the last unit can take place within 10 NS months.

All funds have now been wired and we look forward to deliveries.

Thank you.

We too thank the CSJ government for accepting our offer. We will probably be using another one of your storefront in the near future to aquire more weaponry for the aircraft.

Re: Purchase and E-767

To Whom It May Concern,

I most sincerely regret to inform you that the E-767 (http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/767awacs/) manufactured and produced by your esteemed corporation has lost out to the GLI-44 "Blackjester" IRBC (Intelligence, Reconaissance and Battlefield Control) Aircraft (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10656604&postcount=1333) of the Kriegzimmer Conglomerate (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=409787) of the Second Empire of the Golden Throne (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Second_Empire_of_the_Golden_Throne).

It was judged by the majority in the Southeast Asian Federal Parliament, that the GLI-44 was the better plane for the job and that it would be easier for us to handle, we apologize for choosing it over your design. We hope that this does not affect your firm's opinion of us nor does it affect the opinion of the Smoke Jaguar Government.

However, the Federal Parliament has found something of favor - the F-27 "Wirbelwind" Multi-Role Light Fighter. They seem to be most worthy replacements to the venerable F-16 "Fighting Falcon" Fighter (http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/f16/), but we have only seen it on paper. They have approved me to make this purchase in order to test them to see whether they are fit or not. We shall take one of each Wirbelwind variant, and the cost of 290,000,000 Universal Standard Dollars (USD) shall be transfered upon the confirmation of the order. Should we deem it a worthy successor the venerable Fighting Falcon, we shall come back for another purchase...a more substantial one, most likely.

Yours Truly,
His Excellency,
Paul David Nettleton
Minister of Defense
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia

P.S. As we are located in a relatively nearby location on this great planet we all share, and we have neglected one another for far too long, I am pleased to inform you that the Union's Founder and first Prime Minister, Yao Yang Nelson Neo, is planning on making a state visit to Huntress to discuss the details of sealing a pact with the Free Land. A pact that has for far too long been left untouched. I hope to contact you and your colleagues again in the future, as soon as possible!

Re: Rotary Aircraft Retrofit

We have returned yet again to one of our favorite suppliers for a substaintal upgrade in our Rotary Aircraft. We have recognized the battlefield has become more fluid than ever and our assets to meet this challenge are woefully inadequate. We wish to fix this delimma by placing a large order for three platforms we think will increase our capabilities in different theaters of action.

We are interested in the following units: (3240) EH-101 Merlin HC Mk.3 ($50 mil) @ $162 Billion USD, (3240) UH-102 Kestrel ($40 mil) @ $129.6 Billion USD, and (3240) CH-61 Atlas ($70 mil) @ $226.8 Billion USD. Total cost of order is $518.4 Billion USD. We have wired an initial payment of $260 Billion and will send the balance upon confirmation of the order. We are looking forward to another great product offered by CSM.

Sincerely,

Gordon Wells
Minister of Defense

OOC: sorry for the delay, which was indeed much longer than it should have been. I kept putting this off while checking into more important things . . .
So, consider this post to have been made 10 days or so ago, when it should have been :p

IC:
CSJMI is once again honored by your interest in our products, and we have confirmed that, once again, your request is approved. Delivery of the last unit is expected within 4 NS years.

To: CSJ
From: Naval Air Force Procurement Office

With the recent success of the carrier borne F-30 fighter in conflict under the IH flag we feel that now is the correct time to ask for an extension in numbers of aircraft that we require.

As you know we previously purchased 1,200 units of the aircraft that we now designate as the F-30 "Shinden", slightly different to your own designation. We now wish to purchase a further 15,000 units of this aircraft to completely phase out existing F-14E and some F-22S aircraft in our Naval Air Arms.

Obviously we are willing to pay a full list price of 130million dollars per unit, however we are bound to ask you what price would production rights for the aircraft cost?

We are willing to pay the 1,950,000Million USD for the fifteen thousand units, or the price you give us if you are indeed willing to sell us the production rights. Either way we ask if we could have the first 2,000 (or just 2,000) units very quickly from your factories. The sum of 260,000Million for those 2,000 units will be transferred either in addition to production rights or as part of the cost of the 15,000 unit order.

Thank you.

OOC: I need some quickly, so Im buying 2,000 no matter what and if you dont give production rights I would like a further 13,000. Thanks :)
OOC: I've decided to start being more realistic about production rights. But for the record, you can consider the components that need to be bought from us as part of normal trade, so it won't require posting as you increase numbers

IC:
After careful consideration, CSJMI is willing to provide conditional production rights for $160 billion, provided several key components are purchased directly from our firms. These components will amount to about $30 million per aircraft, and will be provided unconditionally upon request so long as the contract is neither voided nor modified to change that. We will also sell the 2000 initial units for a discounted price of $220 billion, and the last of those are expected to arrive within 1 NS year.

We are very pleased to hear that and of course agree to the conditions that you have attached. For the first aircraft it may prove that more than $30million worth of components are purchased from your firms however we obviously hope to maintain the level at the agreed price in the long term.

Once again we offer our thanks along with the information that the full $380billion for both the aircraft and the production rights have been transferred electronically.

Thank you.

Dear sirs,

After being reliably informed of certain aircraft and because of our successful dealings with weapons and military units in the past, we are again looking to Clan Smoke Jaguar to fill a gap in our national defences. Stevid lacks a proper AA interception aircraft to adaquetly defend our shores from strategic bombers, a particular aircraft fills this role 100%

The F-36C Kunai is an aircraft with extremly positive potentials and has excellent AA abilities with a huge missile payload. This aircraft interests us inparticular and we wish to purchase a large amount from your Military industries.

The order may be large but we hope that you will accept:

x300 F-36C Kunai at $270 million

Total Cost: 81 Billion USD

Money will be wired apon confirmation and we hope you will accept in light of previous transactions.

Thank you for your attention.

[OOC: Stev, you may wish to edit the F-36C name, as you stated the price of the F-36A package, which is a watered-down version of the indigenous Kunai (read: without pulse-detonation engines). Besides, despite the fact that Stevid and Clan Smoke Jaguar have friendly dealings with one another, I doubt it's close enough to get the PDE-equipped version, which is only allowed for sale to extremely close allies (read - like the best of friends, Omz222 being the best example that I know about) of CSJ.]
