[OOC: Modern or near future tech - preferably around 2010-2020. So, no space stuff, hey.]


Transmission from Kekkosmaa - to everybody, basically.

"I am Patrik Tenhunen, Kekkosmaa's Minister of Defence. After much consideration, we have decided to start modernizing our armed forces.

Kekkosmaa will be needing all kinds of high-quality machines - tanks, planes, ships, everything.

Tell us what you have and why they are so superior when compared to others that we should choose them. Money is not a problem. When we have got enough good offers, we will make our choices and buy.

And one tip - tell us about your stealthy ships and you are very likely to make some sales."

BUMP!

Hmm, this would be around 1993-1994..

F-16E/F Supreme Falcon
http://invisionfree.com:54/93/157/upload/p919.jpg

Description
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.

Structure
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.

Powerplant
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.

Avionics
To save on costs, no new avionics were developed. Instead, ESAA used a 'helmet' 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 fuselage.

Performance
The F-16E is comparable to the Su-27 in terms of dogfighting manueverability, with a 75% rate of success in our tests. However, the F-16E/F is 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.

V-94

http://www.baconbomb.com/spetsnazmod/weapons/v94.jpg

The V-94 provides Russian snipers with an effective long range anti-material rifle. The V-94 fires a heavy 12.7x108mm FMJ shell that can pierce the skin of most light armoured vehicles in operation and destroy other light targets, such as communications equipment, artillery and grounded aircraft. The V-94 is capable of engaging targets up to and possibly over 2 kilometers. It is equipped with a powerful 13x60 magnification PSO optical sight. The weapon is semi-automatic and fires from a detatchable five-round box magazine. Though very heavy, this weapon gives snipers the capacity to engage heavier targets at longer ranges and has proved to be a very useful tool in the hands of an experienced sniper.

BUMP

OOC: Actually, I think I've already got the production rights for either the supreme falcon or swf/f-16 or whatever it is :P

Hey, BUMP.

Youre still around?



*adds another name onto "glass for $ 500 bil list" *

And yes Ill leave your thread now.

go here:

I recommend the Badger MICV and TDR-3000.

[OOC: Yes, I am still around. Haven't yet forgotten those OOCs, you know.. And you're having difficulties understanding that you're already ignored? :)]

[OOC: Yes, I am still around. Haven't yet forgotten those OOCs, you know.. And you're having difficulties understanding that you're already ignored? :)]

[OOC: Not by everyone]

[OOC: Oh, really. I thought that absolutely everybody ignores him..

Ok, he's not ignored by everyone. So what?]

The heavy MBT is obsolete due to the incredibly powerful cannons on everything today. Smaller, faster, and lighter fighting vehicles like this one are needed. Plus, they're cheaper.

T-7 Gilgamesh

Heavy Main Battle Tank

Designed by: Fisaw (Industrized Serfs), Crookfur, Aresmat (Hole Where Evil Lives), and Newer England

Produced by: Fisaw (Industrized LSerfs) and ETC Ammunition by Aresmat (Hole Where Evil Lives)

Weight: 70,600kg (155,320lbs.)

Crew: 2 (in front hull)

Performance: Speed: 70km/h, Range: 450km (60km on Hybrid Electric), Vertical Obstacle: 2.4m, Fording: 3.3m, Trench 4.1m.

Armor: Advanced coposite armor incorperating Chobham, Titanium Alloys, high strength ceramics, Tungsten and spacing, exact details are availble on request but effectiveness is rated at being closs (or greater than) 1500mm RHA.

Power systems: CFPW T451 Alcohol turbine with hybrid electric drive for silent running and low heat (for operations requiring more stealth or involving infantry), emergency and maintenance power.

Armament systems: Electro Thermal Chemical 155mm main gun at least 55 calibres long capable of launching most any rounds including HEAT, Sabots, Top Attacks, Missiles, and even canisters. Also a copper round developed by fisaw. Export version using a 25mm machine gun/grenade launcher on remotely operated mount. Missiles (2 SAMs for anti chopper and possible anti round and 2 recon vehicles likely remotely operated) which aren't fired by the main gun. Also a anti-infantry variant of explosive launcher.

Ammunition: 30 Main gun, 800 25mm MG and 800 GL

Rate of Fire: Main gun: 9rpm, MG/GL 350-600rpm (or semi auto).

Intelligence Systems: Radar/laser/microwave threat warning receivers with rapid resolution of incoming fire sources, fire detection radar and suppression system, a wide variety of views with a horizon view and IR/UV/Night vision views. As well as targeting views and emergency periscope views. Laser rangefinder and designator, target acquisition system (roughly 90% accurate), remote sensor coordination (2 remotely operated recon missiles).

Counter systems: Sensors for immediate detection of hits which aim all detectors, designators and weapons at the target which if isn't found is then scanned for. Also launches a recon missile in the general direction. If the targets found then triangulation (with lasers from the recon and tank) is used to quickly get a designator on the target. Works most effectively against direct fire but if not immediately producing a target it should eventually be found.
Jammers, active counter laser, dense particulate smoke rounds and discharger, anti-missile system using ball bearing packed explosives launched at direction of incoming threat from mount on turret, an anti-mine system also using the same ball bearing packed explosive system but located at the front of the hull and using a powerful detection system, anti-magnetic mine paint, multiple drone launch capability.

Survivability systems: NBC protection, unitary armored pod inside the crew’s section of the hull, blow away sections for ammo cases (which are mounted on the sides) that release pressure on ammo incase they blow up and if they do they explode upwards away from crew and engine. The same goes for our missile systems mounted slightly to the rear of the turret. Retractable (and detachable) armored skirts.

Tank systems: Computerized hydropneumatic 'dynamic' suspension, rail system to roll out engine for maintenance, cool air jets run into exhaust stream with a combination of air and liquid (water left and stored from alcohol engine) coolant, advanced fire control computer, fully stabilized gun mountings.


As for the price i belive we are looking at soemthing in the range of $8.5million or so

Have fun!

Yet another BUMP

I posted my naval thing.

Yes, but we are still looking for other possible choices.

What does OCC mean (or OOC, I can't even remember).

I sold 5000 T-7 Gilgamesh tanks to this guy. I thank him. 5000 tanks! Now you who a reading this suddenly realise how much you need to buy them. So buy a few divisions worth.

Also I have a light, helicopter (the small ones too) transportable 155mm Artillery gun being developed so I'll keep you informed.

Please feel free to visit the Kelanthian Arms Conglomerate storefront (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=62566) for all your military vehicle needs. We offer only the highest quality weapons at competitive, realistic prices. You can find everything from helicopters and stealth bombers to submarines and tanks. Please post all orders at the storefront. Thank you.

OOC: OOC = Out of Character. Means that it's you saying it, not your character - you can insult people without having to fear that they annex you :P

BUMP

OOC: Actually, I think I've already got the production rights for either the supreme falcon or swf/f-16 or whatever it is :P

Oh yes, I keep getting "Kekkosmaa" and "Kecha" confused. I knew one of those names had bought production rights.

Bump, just to see if somebody still has something.
