SYSTEMS

ALMRS/TTAC-03 Mk. II system: Tracks up to 60 enemies and ranks them according to range, heading, threat level, and tank-type to provide best possible firing solution. Also computes MOA and other variables and automatically sets turret and barrel to correct heading (when this feature is engaged) and can fire on up to two targets simultaneously (assuming ATGM's are on their respectable slides).

ARENA: Scrambles enemy ATGM's radars and tracking systems, also causes their navigational systems to cause them soaring into the sky until they detonate.

Shtora-3 defense suite: Scrambles enemy laser rangefinder, making it nearly impossible for enemy tank to fire, unless they guess the range. Also scrambles enemy communications systems and tracking systems.

AEISCN-01: Shares target information with other friendly tanks in the field along with other information, also allows friendly tanks in large numbers to make coordinated attacks through out the battlefield. Also allows friendly tanks to instantly reorganize into new squadrons and divisions for new assaults and also relays all information back to command. This system also checks in every 10 minutes (or shorter; can be adjusted) with GPS and military satellites to update terrain and enemy movements.

Armor: Light weight galvanized/treated, powder-coated steel outer armor layer with a honeycombed layer of aluminum alloy covering a slanted plate of light-weight titanium composite and a 1 inch layer of coarse ceramics followed by a layer of aluminum alloy sandwiched in between two layers of galvanized steel.

GENERAL STATISTICS

Weight: 19 tons
Length: 20 feet
Width: 10 feet
Height: 9 feet
Crew: 3 (driver, commander, loader/engineer)

Top road speed: 68 mph
Top off-road speed: 56 mph
Avg. cross-country speed: 47 mph

Range- 400 miles

Fording depth (without snorkel)- 3.8 feet
(with snorkel)- up to 9 feet

ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/DRIVE SYSTEMS

800 hp SB-401 MHP/HT ethanol engine with SB-ATPT-C2 turbocharger and SB-ATRS radiator system. The SB-TPEA system aides the main engine in using an electric high-revolution engine to allow unsurpassable acceleration then allowing an immediate crankshaft lock into the diesel to allow smooth transfer from each version of power. The electric system is powered by the new Soviet Bloc hydrogen fuel cells (see the Zvarinograd AZ-MD post) arranged in a 16-cell stack that provides enough power to run the engine at full power for upwards of 30 minutes. The only problem is it needs an extensive power build up (there's a small air-intake located near the rear of the main body to take in air as well as six 3 gallon hydrogen tanks to assist the hydrogen fuel cell) that can take nearly 15-20 minutes. The electric assist engine provides astronomical acceleration and fuel conservation (as it kicks in to assist main engine whenever needed) while the main engine provides the sheer power this tank demands.

Secondary: PKT 7.62mm cannon
12.7mm AA gun

AT Missile racks(1 on each side of turret)
8 smoke grenade launchers, 3 on each side of turret, 2 in rear


SYSTEMS

ALMRS/TTAC-04 Mk. III system: Tracks up to 60 enemies and ranks them according to range, heading, threat level, and tank-type to provide best possible firing solution. Also computes MOA and other variables and automatically sets turret and barrel to correct heading (when this feature is engaged) and can fire on up to two targets simultaneously (assuming ATGM's are on their respectable slides). Also tracks and targets enemy targets at up to 500 ft. altitude and up to 30 miles away.
SB-AFCS-S1 system: This advanced fire control system allows for the T-08 to engage moving targets while the T-08 is on the move. The barrel will always remain aimed at target while tank is in motion and will not waiver even over small hills, dips, bumps, and other obstructions. The barrel will always target enemy unit unless commander targets a new target or disengages system. The SB-AFCS-S1 system will continually track all targets and align barrel to fire on the target even if the target is on the move, the barrel will constantly update and move with the target while computing wind, weather, and MOA abilities for the best possible accuracy. The barrel will move on two different axis'. The commander's station is outfitted with nightvision capabilities, infrared capabilities, radar tracking capabilities (if an EW, radar aircraft, or radar station is near and able to send information), and advanced targetting systems. The commander's station is also outfitted with a periscope with nightvision, infrared capabilities, and a computerized screen to locate targets if they are obscured. Coupled with this system is the ALRS (Advanced Laser Range-finder System) which utilizes a laser rangefinder with a triple layer screen with crystals at different angles to scatter any enemy lasers that are attempting to disable the rangefinder. The rangefinder laser passes through a roughly 3mm hole in the screen.

ARENA Mk. II: Scrambles enemy ATGM's radars and tracking systems. Also interferes with all ATGM tracking systems and/or other guided weapons' systems.

Shtora-3 defense suite: Scrambles enemy laser rangefinder, making it nearly impossible for enemy tank to fire, unless they guess the range. Also scrambles enemy communications systems and tracking systems. Also interferes with enemy laser-based systems and laser-type weapons by using a controlled beam of ultraviolet rays to scatter the laser (communications systems, weapons systems, rangefinder systems)

AEISCN-01: Shares target information with other friendly tanks in the field along with other information, also allows friendly tanks in large numbers to make coordinated attacks through out the battlefield. Also allows friendly tanks to instantly reorganize into new squadrons and divisions for new assaults and also relays all information back to command. This system also checks in every 2 minutes (or shorter; can be adjusted) with GPS and military satellites to update terrain and enemy movements. Also takes updated information and relays it to the commander's screen which displays all friendly tanks, enemy tanks, standing orders, enemy formations, buildings, objects, and other environmental objects. Coupled with this system is the SB-LRRCS (Long-range Radio communications set) with a range of roughly 450 miles.
NBC System SB-CAP-1 - This NBC system protects against nuclear, biological, and chemical threats as well as seal of the internal areas of the tanks from the outer environment, relying on an SB-AIR-M air recycling and cleaning unit to provide breathable oxygen to the tank's crew.

Periscope systems- Twin periscopes (commander periscope mentioned before)- Gunner periscope is outfitted with infrared technology, night vision tech, and the AEISCN-01 system (which shows enemy units based on satellite and aircraft intelligence or intel from other friendly ground untis).


Enhanced survival functions- increased armor over engine compartment and radiator. Enhanced armor protecting fuel tank, hydrogen cell area, and battery area.

SB-AHDU which transfers engine exhaust into a special dissipator unit that fuses the exhaust and heat into cooled water from hydrogen cell and dissipates it out rear of unit and onto track assembly.

SB-ASFS - Advanced Snorkeling and Fording System- allows unit, at the touch of a button, to disengage head dissipator system (SB-AHDU), and to engage the flip-up snorkel system which allows the tank to ford up to 3 meters






The T-05 shares the same changeable turret ability as the T-04A/B series tanks.

Price: 1.1 million USD

Bump.

Too heavy!

(OOC: too light!)

Nah. It's a perfect weight for being parachuted along with para-forces.

Watertest would like to buy 1,000 of these tanks to boast our paratrooper's effectiveness.


1,000 T-05's= $975,000,000
_______________________
Total comes to $975,000,000

*Money Wired*
Thank You
Ryan Jordan-President of Watertest

Alright, your order has been confirmed and units will be produced and shipped over the next NS year (1 RL day). I thank you for your purchase.

Argyres would like to purchase 300 of these tanks to bolster our paratrooper divisions as well. Money will be wired automatically upon confirmation of the order.

Very well, order confirmed.
300 T-05's are now en route to your nation.

i congraulate you on your work. and i would like to buy 4,200 of you tanks as they are lighter than my air drop tanks and require alot less room. *money wired*

I thank you for your purchase. Order Confirmed and your tanks are being shipped.

Bump

Bump again.

The Dominon of Handschar would like to purchase 1 of your product for undisclosed reasons.

$940,000 wired.

DB-118 "Drop-Box"

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/dropbox.jpg

Want to have the ability to simply fly a cargo plane over the battlefield, and drop your troops, light tanks, trucks, howitzers, or anything else you might need, in an -easy-to-deploy, safe-to-use, DISPOSABLE drop craft? Then the Drop-Box is your dream come true! This wonderful creation from Raysia Aerospace basically looks like an armored cargo container (or you can get a flatbed with securing straps and chains) with a wall to wall airfoil on each side to guide it straight down. When it reaches a certain altitude and speed, depending on weight, the computer auto-pilot fires 6 vectored-thrust solid rocket pods (2 on the long sides, 1 on the short sides) to slow it down until it comes to a soft, cushioned landing on the ground (aim for clear ground or a meadow or a shore) using series of spring-loaded and pnumatic shock absorbers to make it calmer for troops. When it hits the ground, the shocks trigger the rockets to jettison off, and explosive bolts blow the walls apart, creating ramps. And then, you're off! Each drop box costs $75,000, and the area inside is 10 x 10 x 50-ft, enough to hold all types of high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles, light armored vehicles, eight standard loading pallets, 80-100 troops, or up to 40 tons of cargo.

These can easily fit 2 inside a C-130, 8 in a C-5 galaxy, 1 in a V-44, or 16 to 20 in an An-225.

With a good mathematician guiding the drop, this can also be a dream Siege Weapon! Drop one of these with a tank, some Artillery, and some marines, right onto the deck of a carrier, and you can prevent ANYONE from taking off! Or take this to a larger scale, and drop them all over a city, and you instantly have an invasion force deployed into the city without having to deal with getting past many defenses! These can drop from ANY altitude the plane can carry them to.

Price: $75,000 USD Each

Remember, this is a ONE-TIME-USE vehicle.

NOW AVAILABLE:
You can request any size bigger or smaller than this if you wish, just specify the size along with the amount, and the price will be the same to a certain point.

Ah, very well, order confirmed. Your 5000 T-05's will be produced and shipped over the next 2-3 NS years (2-3 RL days). *money received*

And also, I would like to purchase 20 of your drop boxes. 1.5 million USD will be sent on confirmation.

And Handschar order confirmed...

The CDH wishes to aquire 10 of your product, however it requires them to be 10x10x25 feet, capable of carrying company-sized detachments (50 or so men).

Please let us know your price.

CDH

50,000 each.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump.

Isn't that really cheap? $940,000? The Abrams is $4,000,000ish, isn't it?

To: Raysia

We wish to order 50 of these smaller drop-boxes for a total of $2,500,000.

Money wired immediately.

Well, the tank's air-drop capable and has a smaller engine, a less sophisticated armor than the Abrams but just as effective, its a hell of a lot lighter (a little under a third the weight), and its rather small (in order to be able to be put into an aircraft and parachuted with infantry forces).

Bump again.

Bump once more...

cyber fusion will buy 5 of the tanks
total purchase: 4,700,000 USD
money wired upon confirmation

Order received, units being shipped now
