5 trillion dollar military expansion program: we're buying!
Ferrussia
12-09-2003, 03:45
The People's Republic of Ferrussia, noting that the NS world is a quite... turbulent place, and considering that current deployments could prevent the assistance of allies or interests, the government has unveiled a new program to increase the size and effectiveness of the military.
The massive proposal is the largest in Ferrussian military history, and the military is looking to outside sources for a majority of the armaments. The military is looking into totals around $5 trillion USD!
Ferrussia is going to the international community for this huge project.
Current Fund amount:
$4,043,280,907,500.00 (4.04 Trillion) USD
[OOC Stuff:
Yes, I can afford it. I've, up 'till now, had a relatively small army, navy, and air force. I've run moderately successful military sales, and have been pooling my surplus military budget (everything left over after salaries, expenses, maintenance, etc.). I've got it all on computer if you really want proof.
Second, please only post proposals. Storefronts will be ignored, unless you make specific suggestions from the shop, and then post the link.
Thanks, and let the buying begin!]

Although none of this stuff is real in the real world, its all Macabean produced and has modern technology. I sell excellent Artillery (alot of success) and perfect Armour of different calibre.
OOC: Some have German names that are recognized as WWII... they are not WWII tanks, they only use the Pz. line which starts at Pz. I which is equivelent to a German Pz. III.
The Dominion of Talkos is giving a limited time offer(last time it was offered, demand quickly outpaced the rate we could build them, and forced us to take them off after only a few days) on it's Gato Class diesel submarines. They are ideal for a nation moving from the expensive quality end of the spectrum to large, quantity based forces, perfect for a nation looking to bulk up it's forces. It is effective in a variety of roles, from interdiction and blockade, to shore defense, hunter-killer roles, and covert ops insertions. We are offering these beauties at a mere $40 million per(a Ohio class ballistic missile sub can cost up to $1 billion per), with prices this low you can just ram the enemy vessels!

Macabees, we're particularly interested in ground forces, but it seems you didn't post the link! I'd love to look over your offers.
Talkos, while we are still looking to hold to a more efficient, effective, and quality military, the role your submarines could play in home defense and patrols is invaluable. We'd like to put in an order for 25 Gato submarines, coming to (I believe) $1 billion. Please confirm asap.
Bobaria, we'll look into your proposal, however we'd most likely end up purchasing more than you have listed for certain planes, and we'd like to keep purchases of the same vehicle/craft to the same person.
Keep 'em coming!
this isnt a complete list, but you tell me if there is something you need not on this list.
I suggest HOMAR assault rifles, Bouncer Snipers, and 200mm artillery for you; tell me what interests you, and i will make you an offer.

Your order is confirmed. We will either send the subs over with prize crews or you can send your own sailors to crew them back to your home ports. Thank you for your business.
From the Desk of Henry Eshelman, Head of Fuego Rey's Secret Police
We noticed your request for weaponry and militaria and would like to make you an offer. We have a surplus of two of our classes of light vehicles, both suited for rough terrain, especially swamps.
Nephandi Class 2 Man ATV: This specially created 4 wheeler is equipped with a nearly silent electric motor as well as a traditional gas motor (though the tank has to be attached seperately, about an hour's work for any mediocre technician) and includes it's own solar chargers. It also features an optional mounted .50 caliber HMG, which is operated by the standing rear passenger. It is extremely rugged, lightly armored, mostly amphibious in calm waters, and excellent for light recon or guerrilla actions. It is going for $9000 US, plus another $1000 for the attached HMG, and we have about 5000 ready to sell.
Unseelie Class Dirtbike: A simple electric dirtbike with surprising power, this machine sacrifices endurance for speed, the battery having only about a four hour life. Most carry a set of two extra batteries, but this is obviously not a vehicle for protracted patrols. However, it is ideal for short term raids. While it features no external weapons or armor, it is small (it can actually be broken down and carried in a very large backpack) and is perfect for airborne assaults. These bikes cost $6000 US, and we have about 10,000 available to sell.
Finally, we still have a surplus of about 6,000 of our specially bred attack\tracking dogs. They are expensive, but they are the best in the world. (More information: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56457&highlight= ) These animals are ideal for attack or tracking, but do not make good civillian police dogs as they are trained to hamstring and throat, nor do they make good guard dogs, since they do not bark (This would alert enemies to the presence of the unit.) With 100 or more dogs, the services of a Fuego Rey houndmaster will be included.
Thank you for your time.
-H. Eshelman
--APPROVED by Chris By-The-Throat, Information Minister--
Memo: Henry, I know you don't want to reveal the real size of our military, but the humanitarian effort in Jilhou is increasingly expensive; try to sell more of our surplus than this. -C

Talkos, thanks, we'll be sending over skeleton crews.
Fuego Rey, we'd like to purchase all 5,000 Nephandi ATVs with the machine guns, and 7,500 of the dirt bikes. I believe the total is $500 million.
Resi, thanks for the offer, but we're staying modern tech. :D
Tilsitsin, we're incredibly interested in your offer. We'd like 10 wings (720) of Is-D-1s, coming to $15.84 billion. We're also interested in the Su-47, and will get back to you on those.
Soviet H., we'll look into it.
Chellis, we're delighted to hear that the HOMAR is a 7.62! We've had soldiers complaining that the M-16A2s we use have too little stopping power (and they don't - they're designed to wound, not kill). We're highly interested in supplimenting our ground-based forces, and these look like they could do the job. Give us an offer. (We're thinking somewhere in the range of 250,000 units, but you go ahead and say what you deem fit).
Belem, we're not interested in anything further than nuclear deterrance, let alone nuclear terrorism.
Omz222, we'd like to put in an order for 5 Super Intruder wings (360 planes). I believe the order comes to $10.8 billion. We may come back for more, and I'll always keep ESAA/RL in mind for aircraft purchases.
Very well, confirmed, thank you.
Well you can put those two nukes into a cruise missile or basically any air launched missile.
Or How bout some nice chemical or biological weapons?
ok, how about 250,000 for 250m? They all come with optical sighting, which has thermal, nightvision, and plain normal, all with magnification.

Clan Smoke Jaguar
12-09-2003, 06:39
We offer a VERY wide selection of combat and support units.
Below are some of our highlights. The rest of our products can be found on our storefront treads at:
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68940 & http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68948
Iron Cheetah MBT
Crew: 4 + 4
Combat Weight: 65,000 kg
Max Speed: 65 km/h
Max Range: 550 km
Armament: 1x120mm L/55 smoothbore, 1x12.7mm AAMG, 1x7.62mm AAMG, 1x7.62mm CMG
A large, powerful main battle tank. The use of new armor composites gives it 25% better protection than the M1A2. Like the M1A2, it boasts a CITV and advanced electronics systems, though it has an improved 120mm L/55 gun which outperforms the M1A2s weapon. It has an unconventional layout somewhat similar to the Merkava, with the engine front and a small compartment in the rear. The rear compartment can hold up to 4 troops, or additional supplies or ammunition.
Cost: $5.1 million (+$65,000 for MCBS)
Mist Lynx IFV
Crew: 3+8
Combat Weight: 28,000 kg
Max Speed: 69 km/h
Max Range: 500 km
Armament: 1x30mm Bushmaster II, 1x7.62mm CMG, 1xTwin-tube TOW launcher (8 reload missiles).
This is an advanced IFV based on the M2 Bradley. The vehicle’s size has been increased to accommodate more passengers, and it’s capable of transporting 8 fully equipped troops, though standard practice in Clan Smoke Jaguar removes one soldier to add extra equipment and supplies. It has similar armor protection compared to the Bradley, but slightly better range, speed, and firepower, in addition to the higher payload.
Cost: $3.9 million
G5 towed howitzer
Crew: 8
Combat Weight: 13,750 kg
Max Speed: 16 kmh (normally towed)
Max Range: 100 km (normally towed)
Armament: 155mm/45 caliber howitzer, crew weapons
The G5 is an exceptional towed howitzer with extremely high accuracy and a maximum range of over 40 km. It also boasts, unlike most contemporaries, an auxiliary power unit, allowing it to move over short distances on its own, and thus giving increased mobility and survivability.
Cost: $750,000
M119A1 towed howitzer
Crew: 6
Combat Weight: 2050.3 kg
Armament: 105mm howitzer, crew weapons
A very light field howitzer primarily for supporting airborne and airmobile troops. Its light weight ensures that it can be carried by most utility and transport helicopters. It doesn't have the range of larger systems, reaching only 19 km with assisted projectiles and its shells don't quite have the power of 155mm units either. However, it can sustain much higher rates of fire, which alone makes it a deadly weapon.
Cost: $300,000
AN/TPQ-36 Firefinder Radar
Crew: 9
Weight: 1089.6 kg (shelter), 1452.8 kg (antenna/transceiver)
A small, relatively lightweight firefinding radar for locating artillery positions based on incoming shell trajectories. It is deployed with two M1097 HMMWVs or two M923 5-Ton trucks
Cost: $1,550,000
M-29 SABR OICW
Caliber: 20x85mm Grenade & 5.56x45mm NATO
Weight (total): 5.5 kg empty, 6.8 kg loaded
Weight (carbine alone): 2 kg empty
Length (total): 890 mm
Barrel length: 460 mm (GL), 250 mm (carbine)
Rate of fire: 10 rounds per minute (GL), 800 rounds per minute (carbine)
Magazine capacity: 6 rounds (GL), 20 or 30 rounds (carbine)
Effective range: 1000+ m (GL), 300+ m (carbine)
This is a two-part advanced infantry weapon that includes a small 5.56mm carbine (based on the G36) and a 20mm grenade launcher. A computer and laser rangefinder in the grenade launcher module allow for the round to be fuzed for airburst at any selected range over 200m, as well as standard impact fuzing. This gives the weapon much greater versatility than the M-16/Grenade launcher combo it's designed to replace. The only drawback is the lack of an arcing trajectory like other grenade launchers, which can be useful at times.
Cost: $10,000
MSG-90 sharpshooter rifle
Caliber: 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester)
Operation: Semi-auto
Weight: 6.4 kg
Length: 1165 mm
Barrel length: 600 mm
Magazine capacity: 5 or 20 rounds
Effective range: 800+ m
This is a sniper rifle designed to provide direct support of front-line troops. As such, it sacrifices some accuracy to achieve a higher rate of fire. This particular weapon is one of several sniper rifles based on the G3 and has much in common with the more famous, and far more expensive, PSG-1 sniper rifle.
Cost: $2200
M40A1 sniper rifle
Caliber: 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester)
Operation: Bolt action
Weight: 6.58 kg
Length: 1176 mm
Barrel length: 610 mm
Magazine capacity: 5 rounds
Effective Range: 800+ m
This is an exceptional weapon that combines accuracy, relatively light weight, and reliability. It is designed specifically for military use.
Cost: $2105
DSR-1 Sniper Rifle
Caliber: 7.62x51mm Match, .300 Winchester Magnum, or .338 Lapua Magnum
Operation: Bolt-action
Weight: 5.9 kg empty, without scope
Length: 990mm
Magazine capacity: 5 rounds (7.62mm), 4 rounds (.300 or .328 magnum)
Range: 1000+m
This is an exceptional weapon that is among the most accurate in the world. It is, however, very expensive and not designed for extended operations, limiting it to police and special forces use. Still, its long range and high accuracy make it a useful weapon.
Cost: $7700 (7.62mm), $7900 (.300 WM), $8100 (.338 LM)
M98 sniper rifle
Caliber: .338 Lapua Magnum
Operation: Semi-auto
Weight: 7 kg
Length: 1175 mm
Barrel length: 610 mm
Magazine capacity: 10 rounds
Effective range: 1000+ m
This is best described as a medium sniper rifle, filling the gap between the 7.62mm weapons and the heavier 12.7mm ones. It has better range than smaller weapons, but is nowhere near as heavy as the larger ones, making it a good long-range weapon.
Cost: $4000
Predator Sniper Rifle
Caliber: .408 Stryker Tactical
Length: 1038 mm
Barrel length: 692 mm
Weight: 9 kg without scope
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds
Range: 1800+ m
Accuracy: .5 MOA
This is a powerful weapon chambered for our new .408 Stryker Tactical round. It’s notably lighter than the bigger .50 cal weapons, though it has similar range and higher accuracy.
Cost: $8200
M95A2 heavy sniper/anti-materiel rifle
Caliber: 12.7x99mm NATO (match or standard .50 BMG)
Operation: Bolt action
Weight: 9.98 kg empty without scopes
Length: 1143 mm
Barrel length: 737 mm
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds
Effective range: 1800+ m
A large, powerful rifle chambered for the .50 BMG round. Though it has long range and high hitting power, it's too heavy and bulky for most infantry operations, limiting it to primarily special forces use.
Cost: $6000
M82A1 heavy sniper/anti-materiel rifle
Caliber: 12.7x99mm NATO (match or standard .50 BMG)
Operation: Semi-auto
Weight: 14.75 kg
Length: 1448 mm
Barrel length: 737 mm
Magazine Capacity: 10 rounds
Effective range: 1800+ m
This is an older weapon that's very similar to the M95. Its main difference is that it's a semi-automatic weapon rather than bolt action
Cost: $6000
IWS-2000 Anti-Materiel Rifle
Caliber: 15.2mm
Weight: 18 kg
Length: 1800mm
Barrel: 1200mm
Action: Semi-automatic
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds
Penetration: 40mm RHA @ 1000m
This should not be mistaken for a sniper rifle, as it is designed entirely for the anti-materiel role, and it’s easily one of the most powerful weapons ever fielded by an infantryman. Though this weapon is extremely large and quite heavy, it has enough power to penetrate the armor of most light combat vehicles and even many IFVs at ranges of over one kilometer. During transit, the barrel is removed from the rest of the weapon and carried separately. Otherwise, this gun would be too long for practical use.
Cost: $14,000
M224 light mortar
Crew: 2
Caliber: 60mm
Weight: 21.11 kg (8 for lightest configuration)
Length: 1016mm
Maximum Effective Range: 3490 m
This is a very light, easily transported mortar system that provides light indirect fire support for infantry forces. Its main benefits are its small size and high rate of fire, being able to sustain an impressive 20 rounds per minute over extended periods.
Cost: $10,700
M282 medium mortar
Crew: 3
Caliber: 82mm
Weight: 40.41 kg
Length: 14,224 mm
Effective range: 5800 m
Minimum Range: 80 m
This is a modified version of the M252 mortar that was widened to 82mm so that it could fire both 81mm and 82mm mortar ammunition instead of just the former. It also boasts a relatively light weight and high rate of fire.
Cost: $24,750
M320 heavy mortar
Crew: 5
Caliber: 120mm
Weight: 145 kg
Effective Range: 7200 m
Minimum Range: 200 m
This weapon is almost equivalent to some light howitzers in range and firepower. Unfortunately, it's not as mobile as lighter mortars, and can't be carried by infantry over long distances. Still, it's a powerful support weapon.
Cost: $130,000
Land Warrior system
Includes weapons subsystem, helmet subsystem, computer/radio subsystem, software subsystem, and protective clothing & individual equipment subsystem. This package provides the necessary equipment to incorporate an individual soldier into the modern digital battlefield, merging him with existing digitized units like the M1A2 Abrams and M2A3/M3A3 Bradley. It includes a heads-up data display as well as a small, lightweight portable computer system. Add-ons to personal weapons provide video and thermal imaging capability.
Total System Weight: 38 kg
Cost: $15,000

I can sell you 40 F-14E "Ultra Tomcat" for 35 million each
100 Su-30MKRs for 43 million each
75 MiG-29 Sniper for 20 million each
and 400 MiG-21 Lancers for 5 million each
Ok wanker this is how it's going to work:
A. You stop selling MY weapons
-or-
B. I take military action
Everything I'm talking about can be found here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4650). Prices are listed in rough dollar equivalents of resources; actual price may vary due o your country's evaluation of resources.
We highly recommend in the aerospace departments:
The TJB-2 Magus as a unique and highly capable strike bomber/heavy fighter (detachable bomb bay carries 30,000 pounds of munitions; in addition, the TJB-2 is highly maneuvable, mounts an 80mm nose gun, and excels in air to air combat after dropping its main payload or when deployed as a long range, high endurrance interceptor/air patrol), for $50 million each.
The export model of the TJB-3 Cyclops, with intercontinental range, highly sophisticated EW suites, countermeasures, and a payload that can easily reach 100,000 pounds and is specifically designed to deploy large numbers of air-launched cruise missiles, $140M each.
The TJF-8 Ghost - the only STOL stealth plane I know of - capable of launching from a mere 500' of rough strip, carrying up to 4,000 pounds of ordinance and 4 drones*. A bargain at $80M - noticably less than the F-117A Nighthawk costs!
Our most popular air export is the TJF-3 Mongoose, costing about $2M each, being cheap, robust, and plentiful, but you probably want the pricier stuff.
In the naval departments:
Our popular Kraken heavy destroyer - just $100 million and a bargain at that, displacing just under 4,000 tons and carrying a variety of weapons systems, including a highly sophisticated point/missile defense system, the versatile Hex Box missile launcher, and reliable 5" guns.
We recommend our advanced missile boats. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55211) ($35-$80M)
We also might be pursuaded to sell you some of our workhorse common conventionally powered sub classes (page 11 of my thread) in current operation (Otter submersible and Manta submarine).
Cruisers and escort carriers available upon request; we also do custom work. Would you like a dreadnaught, beautiful, terrible, and imposing? We'd love to build one to suit for a few billion... (OOC: I have some ideas for one. Just tell me what your specific preferences are and which missile systems you favor, and if you like/hate guns... probably $5B.)
As far as land army materials:
[i]We have relatively little in this department.
We recommend our D3TP .25 high penetration sniper rifle - accurate, powerful, and only 30" long - or carbine (24" long) for elite forces. Admittedly, it requires its own high penetration D3TP ammunition, which is not standard manufacture around the world and reasonably expensive to manufacture or purchase, as far as ammunition goes. (It's very good though... we spent a while engineering it.)
*Small drones. Meant for recon or decoy work.

Clan, we're very impressed by your selection. It'll take some time to figure out how much of some things we want, but there is something we'd like immediately. We'd like to purchase 10 of the AN/TPQ-36 systems, Hummer based. The total, I believe, is $15.5 million. We'd like at least 3 asap, within 1-2 NS days would be perfect. We're willing to pay an extra $.5 million to get the 3 minimum in by tomorrow. It'll be wired when/if we recieve them.
We're also looking into your MBT, IFV, and various other items; expect orders on these within the day.
Tahar, we're looking at your offers now. Expect back soon.
Of the council, we're hesitant to spend so much on a submarine, but we'll look into it.

I have a quarter of the technology for long range magnetic weapons. No recoil, no noise, only the ultra-silent sound of the bullet whizzing through the air. The ones I have right now are only short range, but can be deadly!!! Check out my VSRMW's Now Available post, or something similar to that. PM me to buy :) Or fund for really long range weapons.

From the Desk of Henry Eshelman, Head of Fuego Rey's Secret Police
We noticed your request for weaponry and militaria and would like to make you an offer. We have a surplus of two of our classes of light vehicles, both suited for rough terrain, especially swamps.
Nephandi Class 2 Man ATV: This specially created 4 wheeler is equipped with a nearly silent electric motor as well as a traditional gas motor (though the tank has to be attached seperately, about an hour's work for any mediocre technician) and includes it's own solar chargers. It also features an optional mounted .50 caliber HMG, which is operated by the standing rear passenger. It is extremely rugged, lightly armored, mostly amphibious in calm waters, and excellent for light recon or guerrilla actions. It is going for $9000 US, plus another $1000 for the attached HMG, and we have about 5000 ready to sell.
Unseelie Class Dirtbike: A simple electric dirtbike with surprising power, this machine sacrifices endurance for speed, the battery having only about a four hour life. Most carry a set of two extra batteries, but this is obviously not a vehicle for protracted patrols. However, it is ideal for short term raids. While it features no external weapons or armor, it is small (it can actually be broken down and carried in a very large backpack) and is perfect for airborne assaults. These bikes cost $6000 US, and we have about 10,000 available to sell.
Finally, we still have a surplus of about 6,000 of our specially bred attack\tracking dogs. They are expensive, but they are the best in the world. (More information: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56457&highlight= ) These animals are ideal for attack or tracking, but do not make good civillian police dogs as they are trained to hamstring and throat, nor do they make good guard dogs, since they do not bark (This would alert enemies to the presence of the unit.) With 100 or more dogs, the services of a Fuego Rey houndmaster will be included.
Thank you for your time.
-H. Eshelman
--APPROVED by Chris By-The-Throat, Information Minister--
Memo: Henry, I know you don't want to reveal the real size of our military, but the humanitarian effort in Jilhou is increasingly expensive; try to sell more of our surplus than this. -C
Pfft our attack dogs are better through a mix of gene splicing,mutation and selective breeding.

F-16E/F Super Falcon
(F is 2 seater version)
The F-16E is a multi-role fighter that is very capable at both air superiority and ground attack roles. It is a major upgrade on the F-16C/D. It's avionics have been improved, allowing the F-16E to attack effectively beyond visual range. During development, major efforts were sought to keep down the cost of the final product.
The F-16E is based on the defunct XL that was the competitor to the F-15E strike eagle. The F-16XL airframe was selected based on manuevearbility and its low cost. The airframe differs to the F-16A/B/C/D with respects to the wing. A delta wing is used to reduce drag at supersonic levels. Costs have been kept low without adversely affecting performance. The airframe is mostly aluminium, with around a third made with composites to allow flexibility. The nose and body have also been strengthened for a carrier born derivative.
The F-16E uses ESAA's MX-7 turbofan which is capable of a cruising speed of up to Mach 1.8. VTOL capabilty can also be installed if desired. The F-16E uses the MX-7B to achieve VTOL without sacrificing performance. Thrust-vectoring allows the F-16E/F to achieve very tight turns.
To save on costs, no new avionics were developed. Instead, ESAA used a 'helmet' sight system taken from the Mig-29. Wherever the pilot looks, the missile goes. Radar has also been improved. The standard radar on the F-16E is the AN/APG-77 Radar taken from the F-22. Rear facing radar can also be fitted under the tail.
Performance
The F-16E is superior to the Su-27 in terms of dogfighting manueverability, with a 70% rate of success in our tests. The F-16E/F is also superior to the Su-27 in terms of avionics. During the combat tests the F-16 destroyed 85% of all Su-27s in a long range AMRAAM shoot out, inferior only to the F-22 and the ESAA Millenium fighter.
Primary Function: Strike fighter

Kraken originally found here. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=103056#103056) As I mentioned, it's been modified slightly, namely by enhancing the point defense systems and exchanging the old missile cells for a Hex Box system.
TJB-3 Cyclops. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=104295#104295) The export model has a bit less EW gear and larger, more comfortable crew quarters.

We have no solid specifications as of yet for the dreadnaught we would like to build you.
(OOC: How does a rough sketch of ~70,000 tons, 950' long x 115' wide, 20" armor belt, fast, and with both some heavy guns and advanced missile and missile defense systems sound? It's going to cost you around $5B, but I might mention that the price is a bit more realistic than what other people list battleships as, the design will not do anything criminally stupid [such as putting air-to-surface missiles on it - e.g., AS-19 - which can't be fired from a surface position, carrying more weaponry than a ship its tonnage could support, etc] and will be more useful strategically and tactically than most of the other offers around. Of course, you might want to state missile type preferences so I know what kind of missiles to use, but if you want to have to build/stock an entire missile type or three entirely for use by a devastating flagship... is OK by me.)

Tahar, we'd like:
15x Otter Submersible
25x Manta Submarine
14x Tentacle II class
14x Spitting Cobra Heavy Missile Boat (2 E stations)
14x Serpent Light Missile Corvette (2 E stations, 1 A station)
72x TJF-7 Firefly

We are also interested in your Dreadnought. We'd like to fill a heavy shore bombardment role w/decent ASW and AA capabilities. With some large guns, helicoptor hangars, and advanced missile/radar systems, it should accomplish this task well. We prefer to stick to US missile systems, but what you deem would be best for the design is good. We'll probably purchase 4, but we'll see once it's fully designed.
Thank you. Please let us know the approximate price and your values on preferred resources.
anyone interested in water pistols . we have five million pistols in excess....buy in bulk....dead cheap or free to anyone who wants to do war against us. think of economy u will be saving
Tilsitsin, we're incredibly interested in your offer. We'd like 10 wings (720) of Is-D-1s, coming to $15.84 billion. We're also interested in the Su-47, and will get back to you on those.

Your aircraft have been manufactured and are enroute..
The current order would come to around $45B (not including dreadnaught); we take steel, uranium, tungsten, titanium, jet fuel, and copper, at pretty close to RL prices (just plain uranium is about $20/lb; steel is pretty cheap; titanium and tungsten tend to be a bit more expensive). Please note that manufacture and deliver may take some time, particularly in the cases of the TJF-8s and Tentacle II class cruisers - we don't keep an extra dozen nuclear cruisers sitting in drydock.
Engineering specifications for your dreadnaught, should you settle on wanting it:
Cost estimate $5B EDIT: Forgot armor!
Beam: 125'
Length: 961'
Maximum Draft: 40'
Light Displacement: 54,500 tons
Full Displacement: 70,250 tons
Armor: 19.5" belt, fiber reinforced advanced armor (as seen on the Tentacle II class cruiser)
Aircraft: 4 TJAH-1 or similar (aft hangar, heavy attack chopper) 2 TJAH-2 or similar (2 small hangars starboard and port, scout chopper) 2 TJF-7 or 7A Firefly.
Maximum Speed: 40 kts
Armament:
[b]12 16"/50 guns (2 triple turrets aft, 2 triple turrets fore; foremost turret offset to starboard)
2 Light 5" guns (starboard, port, individual turrets)
Pike Enhance/Phalanx CIWS, 8 20mm mounts (around ship)
1 Pair of Candle 32mm gatlings as a flak cannon mount amidships
7 triple torpedo tubes (1 aftmost, others spread)
2 Hex Box systems (fore/aft, near center and elevated; Hex Box system is a subdivisible 7 cell launcher, Tomahawk and Snake [TJ missile] compatible. Can also launch 14 Harpoon or SM-2, or 42 specialized Sea Sparrow, combinations thereof, and a variety of other missiles. This is also found on the Tentacle II class.)
4 Quad SAM boxes, 16 missiles each (much like the Russian S-300F)
6 Sucker heavy antiship missiles (TJ manufacture - we send blueprints for them with the ship if you buy it), fixed forward mounts (under airstrip, 30 degree elevation. Mach 3.5, 2.5 sea level, range 300 nm.)
Crew: 970 + 100 marines + 80 air crew.
The project, dubbed "Ferret" currently, is an advanced, modern, nuclear powered dreadnaught. With a dozen heavy guns, it can provide more than adequate naval fire support for ground operations. Slightly asymetrical, the lines of the ship lunge out, suggesting its great speed. Like some battleships of old, the "Ferret" project will carry actual planes as well as helicopters for ASW - it is currently slated to have a 250' long airstrip on the left side of its nose, complete with miniature steam catapult and ski jump, to launch a pair of TJF-7 Fireflies. This required moving the foremost 16" gun turret off to the right side of the foredeck, reducing its available firing angles slightly. The ski jump is hardly wasted space though, but the last upthrust of a heavy antiship missile launch system; the 16,000 pound Sucker missiles, 35' long and 3' wide, are emplaced in a fixed, steam accelerated launch system consisting of 150' long tubes placed at a thrity degree elevation. At the last minute of designing the Sucker missile, NDOTJ engineers decided to place an extra half ton of armor on the missile, reducing its range to 300 nautical miles; as a result, the missile is rather more difficult to shoot down than comparable missiles, such as the Granit. A 2500 pound warhead and a speed of mach 2.5 in a final sea-skimming approach vector (missile has final attack options of plunge attack, sea skim attack, or simple attack vector, set at launch) beneath a penetrator head make this missile, although carried in relatively small numbers as a secondary weapon, extremely lethal.
What about my stuff?
At least look at it....

Thanks, Ell! The F/A-2000 is a fabulous air superiority fighter, and we'd like to stock it as our primary fighter. The others are great as well - we've had some of them for a while, and would like to get more. So, could we get:

A quarter wing (18x) B-23 Vertigo Bomber

Thanks.
(NOTE: We are still open to other offers, as well. But particularly aircraft.)
I'm apparently a little late with this, but anyway:
There is no real criteria for stating whether or not a fighter is good, or better than another aircraft. It really all depends on what you look at. Many people, for example, use maneuverability as the key factor in an air superiority fighter, saying that if it can't outmaneuver an opponent, a fighter will most likely lose. Such people fail to realize that maneuverability is only important in a short-range engagement, and many of the more maneuverable aircraft are optimized for this (most Soviet fighters fall into this category). The problem is that, against aircraft designed to engage at longer ranges, they will usually prove to be rather ineffective without significant numerical superiority. Otherwise, they'll just get picked off at long range.
The American F-22 takes a different approach, being optimized for medium and long range engagements - the idea here being that if a more maneuverable fighter can't get close enough to dogfight, that advantage is a mute point. The F-22 therefore, utilizes a stealth airframe and LPI radar to engage opponents at medium and long range without being detected (first-look, first-shot, first-kill), and thus avoid any counterattack, or give the target any warning for that matter. Its main disadvantage is a lack of short-range weapons compared to its contemporaries, and the lower maneuverability than some of them. This kind of aircraft is a good escort, patrol and air superiority unit, but is designed for smaller-scale engagements. In a major air battle, it will be much less effective, as it's more of an interceptor than a dogfighter.
There are other important aspects of the design that one might wish to look at. One of the most overlooked is the radar capabilities. Aside from the range of the radar, there's also the important aspect of how many targets the computer can track and engage at once. Many aircraft can only engage 2 or 3 targets (part of the reason Soviet aircraft are directed by ground-based radars, and the US uses AWACS), but some exceptional ones like the F-14 can engage half a dozen targets simultaneously with no trouble, giving them a decided edge in larger engagements. One must also look into economical cruising speed, maximum speed, range, and combat radius, which are all related, and show how far and how fast the aircraft can go.
Another important factor is weapons load. Though actual payload is not much of a factor in air-to-air combat (AAMs are generally much smaller and lighter than bombs and AGMs, so weight limits are rarely met), the number of missiles that can be carried is still limited by the number of possible weapons stations. Most modern aircraft can carry 8-12 missiles, and some of the larger ones can carry 14 or more. Older aircraft, though, are often limited to only 2-6 missiles. Things are further separated by how many of each TYPE of missiles can be carried. The average load is 4 short-range missiles and 4-8 medium/long-range ones. One of the largest payloads of any fighter is found on the F-22, which can carry up to 16 AAMs (8 external and 8 internal), of which 14 are AMRAAMs.
Dedicated strike aircraft merely require a decent payload, and, preferably, the abiltiy to support guided weapons. Ideally, this will include a good radar, an on-board laser designator, and a payload of at least 6000 kg. This is one area where the F-22 is notably lacking, as it’s mission load rarely exceeds 907 kg of bombs (2 1000 lb class JDAMs or 8 250 lb class SDBs).
The best escort aircraft are interceptors that have powerful radar and long-range missiles that can detect and destroy an attacker before it gets close enough to attack the unit being escorted. Ideally, these aircraft will also have good maneuverability and range/endurance as well.
Overall, we admit that Ell's aircraft are solid choices. However, we might suggest that the force be rounded out with some better multirole and dedicated strike aircraft, as most of those aircraft are rather weak in the air-to-ground role.
On that note, we do have a significantly upgraded F-22 available. Though expensive, it exceeds both Ell's F/A-2000 and F/A-21 in both BVR and strike capabilities, and will soon recieve some new medium and long-range AAMs, as well as some air-to-ground weapons we have under development that will further enhance it:
F/A-22C Raptor
Crew: 1
Maximum Weight: 30,839 kg
Speed: Mach 2.3 (2447 km/h), Supercruise Mach 1.6 (1702 km/h)
Range: 3900 km, 8250 km ferry (w/ 4x600 gal fuel tank), 1500 km combat radius
Armament: 2xMain Weapons bay, 2xSide Weapons Bay, 4xUnderwing hard points, 20mm Vulcan cannon w/ 500 rounds
Standard: 6xAMRAAM in MWB, 2xSidewinder in SWB
Attack: 2xAMRAAM & 2x1000 lb JDAM in MWB, 2xSidewinder in SWB
Bomber: 8xSDB (small diameter bomb – 250 lb) in MWB, 2xSidewinder in SWB
Optional Underwing: 4x600 gal fuel tank, 2x600 gal & 4xAIM, 8xAIM, 4-8xLight AGM (HARM, Maverick, etc), or 4x1000 lb class JDAM.
A significantly improved version of the F/A-22 Raptor fighter. This particular upgrade boasts full 3-D thrust vectoring technology, slightly improved engines, a significantly enhanced LPI radar, and increased payload capacity. Unlike the original F/A-22, which only carris JDAMs and SDBs for ground attack (and then, only internally), the "C" version can carry a wide variety of weapons up to the 454 kg (1000 lb) weight class, both internally and externally.
Cost: $100 million

Your improved F/A-22 is very intriguing, and I'd like to purchase a fairly large amount. I do have one question, though - was the capacity noted in your notes (16 AAMs) decreased for your version, or are you simply stating standard, not maximum capacities in your specs? Just curious, still looks like a fabulous plane.
At any rate, we'd like:

Unit cost: $13 500 000USD
Crew: 1, 2 for B model
Notes:
-super manuverable, capable of very high angles of attack
-uses many components from the F-20C/F-5L project
-based on real life X-29 technolegy demonstrator
-able to fly supersonic without using afterburners
-maximum g-loads +12/-4.5, exceeding all modern threat aircraft and also many UCAVs and perceived future threat aircraft
-requires use of the UHGFS g-force system for optimum capabilities
-uses elements of low observability, has a smaller radar signature then the EF 2000 or Su 37
Upon the development of our new Advanced High Agility Light Weight Fighter prototype our scientists encountered a problem, the aircraft could withstand far higher g-loads then the pilot. Only one real option could be considered, due to the high cost of converting the aircraft into a UCAV. That option was an "Ultra High Gravitational Force Suit" or UHGFS. The UHGFS system consists of a g-suit capable of keeping a pilot conscious all the way to +10.8Gs or -3.2Gs when combined with the "Presure Safe Pill" developed by Keystone Pharmasuticals(sp?) the suit is effective up to +12.1Gs and -4.8Gs, the highest in any g-suit, ever.
This project was kept classified until Pan-Haaregradian Defence Institute leaders ruled that it's sale to allied foreign markets would not compromise national security.
Cost per Unit:
UHGFS = $45 000USD
PSPx1000 = $30 000USD
Please note that this suit will only offer appreciable benefits when flying certain Super Manuverable Aircraft, such as the F-29 Drow(soon to be unveiled), Su 37 Super Flanker, F/A-22 Raptor, F-23 Black Widow, F-35 JSF, F-32 JSF(the failed JSF) and thrust vectoring varients(if someone has made any of them) of the JAS 39 Grippen, EF 2000 Typhoon, MiG 29/33 Fulcrum and F-16 Fighting Falcon.
We feel this is the ultimate light fighter, super manuverable, light and inexpenisive, able to out dogfight any other fighters or shoot it out with most larger fighters(the MiG 31, F-115 Advanced Arrow and F-14 excluded). All in all the F-29 is a great small fighter that can also attack ground targets with precision.

$57.6 billion confirmed.
The aircraft will be delivered in batches of 144. The first batch will arrive within 1 NS month, and the final one within 5.
The F-22C maintains the maximum capacity of 14 AMRAAMs and 2 Sidewinders (16 total) of the basic F/A-22. In addition, there are provisions for Replacing one or two of the AMRAAMs in each weapons bay with Sidewinders for short-range engagements, and it can also mount sidewinders underwing in the same number (two per hard point) as the AMRAAMs. The underwing mounting is usually preferred for the sidewinder, as it allows the pilot to take advantage of the AIM-9Xs seeker.
The biggest difference in payload, however, is that the F/A-22C can carry a full range of air-to-ground weapons underwing, including glide bombs, free fall and cluster bombs, ground attack missiles, and antiship missiles, which the US F/A-22 does not support.
The only thing to note is that the use of external weapons increases radar return, so on missions where stealth is more important than weapons load, the aircraft is sent up with only the internal load (8 missiles).

-2 inboard wet hardpoints rated at 750kg
-1 centerline wet hardpoint rated at 1250kg, suitable for large fuel tanks, bomb racks or a large bomb
In general practice only the tip rails, outboard most pylons, heavy inboard pylons and occassionally the centerline hardpoint are used.

http://home.hpphoto.com/servlet/LinkPhoto?GUID=586a2dc3-6ebe-31e8-1ad6-22451950421a&size=
The FU-29K Scorpion, Lovingly referred to as the "Smart FUK" by its operators, is a remotely piloted fully-featured UCAV that has been designed for the air-to-air role. Based on the Grumman X-29, it is extremely manuverable and uses many advanced systems including all-moving canards,a four way thrust vectoring cowling mounted on the afterburner, wing warping "flapelirons" (uses wing-twisting instead of alierons)and a vortex air-flow control system in the nose allowing more controllable supersonic turns and up to a 45 degree angle of attack.
Also the airframe has been hardend to allow up to 15G turns and ACM(Aerial Combat Manuevers). Since there is no pilot onboard, turns over 9G, the current human limit, are possible giving this aircraft the distinct advantage over any human piloted aircraft.The aircraft also has in-flight re-fuel capabiltiy

In looking over purchases so far, we have a few items to fill your requirements...and a few for your forces that you haven't mentioned.
As far as your requested items, we can fill your request for naval-based ground-strike capabilities with our F/A-18IE/F SuperHornet (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1088344#1088344), a highly capable platform with extended range and capacity over the older F/A-18 Hornets. A branching of the F/A-18IE/F program led to the creation of the F/A-18IG (EA-18 ) 'Growler' AEW (Airborne Electronic Warfare) plane. The Growler provides the EW escourt capabilities that have proven not only helpful, but necessary, in the execution of from-sea strikes against 'protected' enemy targets.
By using the F/A-18IF as a base for the Growler, the entire flight of strike aircraft can share maintenance work and parts, while providing the airwing of your naval forces with on-hand EW capabilities. This also means that the Growler can keep up with any of its fellow aircraft on a combat mission, greatly enhancing the abilities of from-sea airstrikes, which have previously been limited in part by the inherent limitations of the EA-6B Prowler system(also sold), which is simply not up to many of today's EW tasks.
For your Marine and Army forces, we present the AH-1Z UltraCobra (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=783622#783622), a variant of the AH-1 Cobra family that adds vast improvements to the platform. The UltraCobra (also known as the 'ZuluCobra' and 'Zulu') is now the main fast-strike ground-support attack helicopter in the WA Marine Corps (the primary fighting force) and has proven itself against a variety of opponents in both simulated and actual warfare conditions. Some more on the AH-Z's innovative systems: link (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=670516#670516).
Now, as far as our own suggestions/offerings, we'd suggest some heavy transport capabilities. If you want to be involved in world affairs, you need the ability to transport and support ground and air forces in the region of action. For this purpose in WA's own forces, the Western Asian Strategic Transport Development Effort was launched several years ago. A recent update of the original report (Link (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1568750#1568750)) laid out many of the items that are also available for sale. The main items listed are designed to support friendly forces over long distances with a streamlined and improved supply chain based on the use of heavy-lift, medium- and low-speed air transports that fill the gap between fast but low-capacity conventional transport jets and super-slow but high-capacity sealift transports.
For ground/infantry capabilities, we've sought to enhance the power of the individual soldier, so we introduced a variety of high-power/high effect infantry-based weapons that allow an infantry squad or platoon to deploy heavy direct and indirect fire against enemy forces without deploying a full mortar system and without relying upon heavy support units that may have difficulty managing urban environments. The main weapon towards this end is the 76mm HIWS, which fires a large round (2.2lb payload) several hundred yards against enemy targets with a high degree of accuracy. The HIWS can be used in any environment and with only standard training in the use of the system (only a course during basic training and some practice). For more on the HIWS and other WA infantry weapons, you can look here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1417763#1417763). To enhance capabilities against armored units, the relatively cheap SHIPON Multi-Purpose Personal Assault Weapons System (M-PPAWS) (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=592923#592923) rocket launch system was developed. The simple rocket provides enhanced mission-kill against armored and semi-armored enemy units for your forces under almost any environmental situation. Both the HIWS and SHIPON systems have faced combat situations and have proven themselves to meet, if not to exceed, the expectations of commanders (there have been demands that HIWS system deployment spread out of the Heavy Weapons platoons within our MEUs, as the standard marine platoons also seek the proven capabilities of the system). The SHIPON is now standard-issue with Western Asia's Special Operations Forces (SOF) and is a mainstay of Sayeret Egoz, WA's premier Counter-Insurgency/Guerilla Warfare group, which specializes in ambushes of enemy armored and unarmored groups using only a handful of men...and the SHIPON has demonstrated itself in killing numerous enemy vehicles.
As a part of this 'infantry enhancement' program, the Desert Raider (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=606437#606437) light scout/patrol/strike vehicle was developed and fielded. The Desert Raider provides vastly enhanced capabilities to Special Operations as well as conventional 'light' forces as its unique design overcomes the difficulties that have plagued so many other light scout and fast attack vehicles (ie, weapons limitations, limited terrain management ability, a lack of helicopter-transportability, high-detectable signature presence, high weight, low-fording capability, low-speed, low-carrying capacity, and many other issues...all of which are addressed and overcome by the Desert Raider).
When faced with hostile crowds of civilians or prisoners, and so when deadly force is simply not an option, our SoundBlaster (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=950394#950394) family of systems might be found to your liking. The variable and high degree of control means that the SoundBlasters can be used in any number of roles...even in urban combat operations to limit possible enemy approaches to friendly strong-points and to push away large crowds that may harbor enemy fighters or terrorists.
For your ground-support strike helicopters, you might be interested in the AGM-114K/M/N Hellfire II (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=880427#880427) series of air-to-ground missiles. The Hellfire IIs feature an enhanced engagement capability and the M and N variants (see link for description) offer enhanced abilities against entrenched and fortified targets (even infantry).
For naval operations, our advanced aircraft carriers (link (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1230625#1230625)) are available if wanted.
To protect your men and your ships from the ever-present danger of ballistic and cruise missiles, the MTHEL (Mobile Tactical High Energy Laser) (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=353133#353133) system can (on one of a variety of platforms) provide wide-area protection against these, and other, threats. The Land-based MTHEL system can accompany armored groups, protecting them against the dangers of WMDs and high-capacity cruise and strike weapons.

First off, thanks to everyone who's posted. I won't be able to make purchases for the most recent posts (sorry) because it's really late and I won't be here tomorrow. So, all of you can expect orders on Saturday or Sunday (depending on how much time I have and how much sugar I consume :wink: ).
Soviet, thanks for the info, I'll be posting an order soon (see above).
Tahar, I'm glad to hear it! 8) Thanks for this awesome custom design. We're sending a skeleton crew to see her into Ferrussian waters, and it will soon be christened the FMS Dauntless Ferret, and establish the dreadnought line as the "Ferret" class. We'd like to order 3 more, if possible, although these need not be a high priority. $15 billion in primarily copper and steel has been collected, and is ready to be shipped upon confirmation of this additional order. Thanks again!
Phoenix, looks good, though we have our doubts about unmanned full-size fighters. We'll most likely buy a wing or two soon (see above).
Western Asia, I took a few minutes to glance at the posts for your proposals, and what I saw was excellent. We'll be posting a (probably large) order soon; would you like it posted here or in your thread?
Thanks again to everyone, and I eagerly await further offers!

Phoenix, for experimental purposes we'll take a half-wing (36x) FU-29K planes. I believe the total is $900 million.
Soviet Haaregard, the F-29A/B looks great. We'd like to put in an order for 4 wings (288x) F-29B Drow and 3 wings (216x) F-29A Drow. The total on those is, I believe, $6.804 billion. In addition, we'd like 1,584 UHGFS suits, for $71.28 million. Total, then, is $6,875.28 million (~$6.88 billion).
Western Asia,
I wasn't sure on the prices for all of your stuff, so could you a) post definate prices for everything, and/or b) let me know how much the order costs? Thanks.
The F/A-18I versions look excellent for our carrier-based attack operations. We're instating it as a major carrier-based aircraft, to be deployed in some force in almost every Carrier Battle group, as well as some other applications.
The AH-1Z UltraCobra, we believe, has a huge potential in ground support that we feel is not only advantageous, but neccessary. Our experiences in the Nimbatan Civil War (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60285) showed us the true neccessity for field-deployable close-in ground support, particularly when an airfield (or at least not a high-capacity one) is not avaliable nearby. Would the helicoptor, if neccessary, be able to land on buildings/in parking lots/in fields if neccessary? I don't know much about helicopters, and if they can, this will be an excellent solution to localized field ground support and ordered as the main attack/ground support helicopter in Ferrussian forces.
We are amazed by the capacity of the PelicanULTRA and other planes, and have once again felt the need in the Nimbatan Civil War for high-capacity air transports.
BTW, is the Siphon fully self contained (ie disposable launcher with each missile), or does it have seperate launchers?
These and many other of your systems are being ordered, so here it goes:
5 wings (360x) F/A-18IE SuperHornet
7 wings (504x) F/A-18IF SuperHornet
1 wing (72x) EA-18 "Growler" AEW
10 wings (720x) AH-1Z UltraCobra
45x C-200 PelicanULTRA
5x CM-200 "Angry Pelican"
(We'd be interested in purchasing AlbatrossLSTRA, if they're declassified)
500x "Desert Raider" RSV/FAV
20,000 SIPHON missile (w/2,000 launchers if sold seperately)
If possible, we'd like to buy production rights (for our own purposes only) for the AGM-114K HELLFIRE II missile (and variants), to arm our UltraCobras, and possibly other uses. We can place an order to accompany the production rights order, or simply buy them outright. Up to you. I'm interested in the prod. rights only because I like to be able to replenish my own forces, instead of purchasing missiles every other month.
Ell, we're very interested in your ABL system. Let us know when it's complete, we may wish to employ it in limited numbers.
Thank you all for your help and offers. With over 4 trillion remaining, we're still open to more offers.
Order for 36 FU-29K and 36 control units confirmed, the $900million has been received.
Also I would bet the FU-29Ks shares componets with the F-29 Drow so thier is that added bonus (mechanics could switch between the 2 aircraft much more easily.) :)

Thanks for the suggestions, and I patiently await more info on the RTPA1s and Stealth helecoptors.
Any other offers?
The Stealth Helo is Done.
Cost 35 Million apiece
"The MH-73 Night Owl is an innovative and groundbreaking development in the field of personnel transport helicraft. With a stealthy design based on the the RAH-66 Comanche's stealth body form but with the capacity to bear as many men as any modern medium-lift helicopter. The Night Owl is ideal for Special Operations employments for the insertion of significant covert might deep behind enemy lines with a minimized chance of detection. Special design features enhance the capabilities and decrease the dangers and maintenance issues that are normally faced with such craft. The MH-73 promises to revolutionize modern airborne covert operations forces."
The Night Owl borrows the Stacked-rotor system from the Russian Kamov line, which allows the MH-73 to drop the tail rotor that otherwise presents an issue for RCS reductions.
The pilot and co-pilot sit side by side on armour protected seats. The other two crew members are seated in armored seats at their stations. The forward hinged doors are jettisonable. Meanwhile, the heated and ventilated main cabin can accommodate up to 20 armed troops, who are protected by a layer of Kevlar/SilkArmor Interwoven Ballistic Protection Material (K/SA I-BPM) and a layer of steel plating.

Each SMFD presents flight instrument, warning/caution/advisory (WCA), navigation, and engine information, while each MFD presents aircraft system, detailed WCA, and mission information. Particularly noteworthy, is the novel WCA system which breaks the paradigm of the standard caution/advisory panel, incorporating logic, prioritization, and graphics functions during WCA processing and display on the MFD's.
The Night Owl will be able to operate day or night, under adverse weather conditions, including flight in light icing. The helicopter will be compatible with all current and future Aircraft Carriers, CLF, and ATF ships to include fitting inside the hangars of all CLF ships without ship alteration. The helicopter will be capable of operating over all designated ship hover areas, both day and night, and be compatible for limited operation aboard both aviation and air capable ships proportionate with a fixed fore-to-aft wheelbase of 29 feet.
The Blackhawk-style tail wheel, positioned further aft, allows for a steeper landing approach to a confined area. The Night Owl’s larger cabin (as in Western Asia’s Nighthawk) will enable it to carry more troops; its two larger cargo doors will allow more rapid deployment of the rigid inflatable boats for Navy sea-air-land (SEAL) type team members. The Night Owl also will be more crash-worthy than the standard UH-60, and will be fitted with better self-sealing fuel tanks capable of withstanding rounds up to 7.62 mm. The external stores support system installed on the Night Owl will allow more fuel and weapons to be carried.

Manta Class Fast Attack Minisub
http://i.timeinc.net/popsci/images/science/sci0403subs_A1.jpg
Length: 30 feet
Height: 9 feet
Width: 28 feet
Max speed with standard armament: 75 knots
Max Operating Depth: 700 feet (home sub may not go below this depth either, or the mini sub will be crushed)
Crew: 3
Combat Radius: 100 miles
Armament: 10 horizontal launch tubes, which can hold any tube launched weapon under 20 feet in length, including Mk. 48 and torpedo tube launched Tomahawk cruise missiles. Tubes can be simultaneously fired. No added storage. Comes with Mk. 50 torpedoes.
Cost: 525 million, 10% discount to regional allies, and 10% discount on orders of more than 8.
Deployed from a larger sub, this vessel's speed and ability to empty all of its weaponry at once makes it perfect for fast hit and run attacks on enemy coast lines. The high amount of noise it generates while operating does not matter in most cases, because its amazing speed enables it to outrun most torpedoes. In fact, this speedy ship is able to become completely airborne for a very brief moment when performing an emergency rise at full speed. Its short combat radius requires it to return to the "mother" sub or base very often for refueling, limiting it to fast attack and return missions, close quarters aid for battles with other subs, and close range coastal defense.
Tube launched Tomahawks and Mk. 48 torpedoes will be available for purchase as well within 1 week RL.
We are ridding ourselves with 9900 units of the Orion MkI Main Battle Tanks, as we are upgrading our own armies to rely on the Orion MkII, which is basically a slower, heavier armoured equivalent. The selling price is roughly 45 billions, althous I think we could give you a 5 billion discount if you decide to take the lot of them.
Orion MkI Main Battle Tank
-Description:
The Orion MkI is a main battle tank, designed first and foremost to combat enemy armour. It is quick enough to advance into enemy territory at a reasonable pace as it is conquered, but falls short of the Sirius MkI in speed by a long shot. On the other hand, it carries significant amounts of firepower, and is heavily armoured enough to withstand a direct hit from most infanty-carried anti-tank weaponry.
-Armament:
The Orion has a 175mm smoothbore cannon as its main gun, firing AP or HE shells. It has a tower-mounted 12,7mm coaxial heavy machine gun, serving as AA-defense. The Orion also features two nose-mounted twin light MG's, cal. 7,65mm.

humvees, specially modified. can cross streams up to 5 feet deep hold 10 men. TOW launcer and machine gun. has a crew of 3. driver, gunner, missle launcher. not really a HMMWV, that was more of a starting idea.
price:$750,000
actually, HMMWV's can do all of that.

ah ha! the proof.
I forgot who, but somebody wrote this.
That's one hell of a modified HMMWV to have a TOW/Machine gun, AND carry 10 troops AND be able to ford depths of 5ft of water.
why not buy some girl gudie cookies for 100 billion?

the HMMWV is modular enough it is possible, you mount the Turret in the Truck model, Attach the Machine Gun Co-axialy to the missile launcher, Add the fording kit for 5 ft of water(HMMWV's Can) Budda bing you have a hummer that can do all that you asked.

A HMMWV can't carry 10 troops though.

sure it can, if you put the flatbed rear modular(the troop transport and Hospital ones have it). but if you want all that just get a M2 Bradley.
