Thanks,

Perhaps you will find what you need here. If we do not have what you require, feel free to set forth a request for a custom piece of hardware. Be aware that any and all designs which may come about in this way become the property of the Dominion of Kotterdam.

Secondary Armorment: 1*15.5mm Coax, 2*15.5mm Heavy MG mounted on turret roof.
Ammo: 45 155mm, 3000 15.5mm
Engine: 1*HMI W-24 diesil, 3,000 bHp
Max Speed: 60 mph
Max Range: 600 miles

This tank was designed arround its main armorment, a 155mm high velocity cannon. This gun is the most important feature of this tank. 35mm bigger then the M-1A1/A2's cannon, the 155mm fires an extreemly high velocity round, that contains a powerful charge. A charge powerful enough to destroy an Abrams at 7 miles distance.

Cost is 2.5 million USD per unit. UNAOTO members get a .5 million USD discount. Other discounts will be given on a case by case basis. Licenses are avalible.

The Tiger is vertually identical to the Ocelot externally, with most diffrences being related to the engine and armor composition. The origional name for this tank was Ocelot T.Mk.2, but it was decided to make it a new type.

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/leopard-05.jpg

The engine in the Tiger is a 24 cylinder W diesel, developing 3,000 bhp. This large reserve of power is used to give the Tiger around the best acceleration of any tank ever. This engine is also highly efficent, giveing the same range as the Ocelot, but with twice the cylinders.

http://military-graphics.net/leopard2.jpg

The armor is where the diffrence between the tank destroyer and MBT is evident. The Tiger's armor package is mostly of light weight composites, with steel in small quanity. The purpose of useing composites is to keep the weight down, while the plastics themselves are over 5 times stronger then the steel that would normally have been used. This also has the advantage over Depleated Uranium of not being radioactive.

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/leopard-c1_58.jpg

The cannon, which made the Ocelot so desired, is the same. 155mm HV. The diffrence is, this time the shell information has been released. The 155mm HV cannon fires a green round. This green round is a Shaped charge composite round, with 55lbs of explosive contained inside of it. In order to defeat newer types of armor, a small explosive charge is carried on an extention on the front of the projectile. This charge acts to weaken the armor, literally "cracking" the armor, allowing the shaped charge to destroy its target.

We will ally wiv you on one condition: If your leader can best one of our Nobz in hand to hand combat. We can supply troops, tanks, trukkz, and air support if conflict arrises. Ork tech of course, is useless to humans, who don't have the telekinesis to work it.

Tilsitsin is willing to provide your country with up to $30 billion in credit towards purchases at the LGR Defense Company (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73639&highlight=) in exchange for a trade pact..

The following link should be able to provide you with much of what you seek. For a developing nation, I would suggest the use of the A-24 Corsair III, as it is easy to maintain, quite capable, and relatively inexpensive.

Also, the Dominion can offer you FN FAL 7.62 x 51mm Assault Rifles for $590.00 a piece.

If there's anything you need that you don't see in the above storefront, the sticky at the top of the International Incidents forum has many good storefronts.

I'm looking for an all-in-one LAV that can be configured as a tank, artillary gun, APC, IFV, resupply vehicle, command vehicle, Anti-air vehicle, and forward observation vehicle, and can be fully amphibious.

Then my Stoat may be the answer to your needs, i currently don't have a AVF varient (but i could knock up one with a 105 or 120mm gun), a artillery gun (but i can easily replace the Light rocket system on the LA version with a 105mm howitzer) or a FOV (but the IFV varient with some more radios and a sensor siute would do the job).

Anway if you are interested the current versions of the Stoat can be found here:

Notes
Designed originally to meet a requirement put forth by Rimbauld, KMC's IFV-2 Normandy performed so well in tests that the design has since been adopted as the DKA's next-generation Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

Built with a highly modular design, the Normandy is capable of being converted from its baseline design to a Mortar carrier, a gun carrier, a command-post vehicle, an ambulance, as well as a minesweeper, engineer support vehicle, ARV, and dry, wet, and General Purpose logistics vehicles through the replacement of its componants and its entirely modular turret.

Although all fire-controls for this capable vehicle have manual backups, the primary fire function is highly computerized to allow first-round first-hit capability against enemy vehicles, even on the move. As well, the vehicle's design allows most componants to be serviced by the crew without ever leaving the vehicle.
