OOC: Please do not respond to this thread if you have no Idea about the weapons you are peddling, there actual effects, range, and purpose, I am not seeking ficticious weapons. If you do not understand volume pricing or surplus discounting. I have seen Abrams tanks for 50,000USD(unacceptbly low, and ak-47's for 200$ a piece(unacceptably high when being puchased in volume). My nation is still on the brink of third world status so NO I dont want stealth battleships or bombers for that matter. I want an arms dealer who knows and understands RL application of equipment, and sales. I dont want someone to sell me 'g-dmod in a bag' I am small nation I intend to RP like a small nation, thank you.

IC: The nation of Skibereen cordially invites professionals in the Arms manufacturing and distribution business a chance to 'lighten' our military budget. Currently we have 4 billion snaps to purchase arms for the defense of our nation and eagerly await the opportunity to begin phaseing out our dated and ill repaired equipment.

With Regards

As an emerging state we are well aware of current needs and trends in the latest of military hardware.

Like many states, we are willing to engage in both sales and trade.

With a large army, ( military service is compulsory) we are also aware of the need to balance effective training with the need for weapons, and so, along with weapons sales, also offer consulting in training and other military issues.

Our current specialties are small arms, body armour, night vison equiptment, man portable anti tank and anti air systems, artillary and efficient, low cost multirole wheeled armour systems.

We also specialise in modernising avionics sytems and upgrading certain NATO and Soviet bloc aircraft, as well as militarising civilian aircraft.

The first generation LCF is designated
K-LCF001
TYPE: Low Cost Area Defense Aircraft
POWERPLANTS: 2x Kravoli Air Dry Thrust Turbojets(K-TJ17a) each rated at 1,731Lbs
Armaments: 2x 30mm Single barrel cannon with 250rounds each + Upto 2 Short range radar guided AAM's
Performance: Max Speed: 570MPH
Cruise Speed: 429MPH
Duration: 20 Combat Minutes
Weights: Empty: 8,531lb
Normal Load: 13,123lb
Dimentions: Span: 50ft
Length: 23ft
Height: 9ft
COST: 2.3Million

Advanatges:
The low purchase and low operational cost of this aircraft allows any country to have a large number of combat ready aircraft avaible at any time and not have to worry about large replacment costs if 1 is lost, with a price of just 2.3Million this aircraft is around 1/30 of the price of other combat aircraft.

The use of non strategic materials (Wood is used for all but the central section, aproximatly 50% of the aircraft is made of wood) allows them to be replaced even when industry has come to a near complete hault, Wood has very good stealth characteristics and using a special carbon paint allows the aircraft to be a very stealthy aircraft.

The aircraft has a very specific role(Area defense) which is a relatibly new role for aircraft, The role is one where to aircraft in strategic location (civil airports, private homes) and only used when a real combat situation arises or exercises. The aircraft is very easy to use, so easy in fact that the general public can be issued with aircraft to cover a larger combat area faster.

If your after a multipurpose aircraft non of the LCF aircraft will be what you want, but if your after an effective defensive aircraft without the cost of high performance aircraft LCF is for you.

We are a rather large arms supplier, offering quality weapons, with expert knowledge on them, and their appropriate uses, however, we do place limits on who we sell them to. We're rather loath to turn them over to certain political affiliations. Could you clear the air up about this?

Unfortunatly, it has come to our attention that you are seeking weapons systems, landmines that have been banned under UN Resolution.

Bateau refuses to provide arms and weapons systems to the Police Forces, Civil Defence and Military of Nations not in compliance with UN Resolutions.
Skibereen
09-12-2003, 08:46
Understandable on your part, however if you will note...we are not UN members.
If you are, you shouldnt have the banned weapons to even refuse to give them away.
Now thank you for your response but were are seeking arms, not lectures on UN policies.

In reply to your request to seek offers on selected Defence material we at Crookfur Arms would be delighted to offer the following:

Before continuing with our offering we point out that most Crookfur vehciles use Alcohol engines (mostly due to the fact that as we moved into the latter half of the 20th century our oil resrves were drying up and importing anything would be expensive) which we apreciate are not to everyone's taste.

"Katjyska" style rocket platform: We unfortunatly do not have a truck based system (the closest we get is our Stoat LAV with a 20 tube 2.75" launcher) but we do have a most useful tracked alternative in the form of our Naga MLRS: http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/vehicles.html#naga

Light armored 'fast movers': we are unsure as to the exact requiremnt for this option, do you seek Hummer/land rover type vehciles or light AFVs such as the Mowag prianha line or the UK scorpion/scimitar style "tanks". If either of these options are what you seek we can offer either our Koshi light tank: http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/vehicles.html#koshi
or for a traditiona multi role LAV chassis we would offer our Stoat vehcile: http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/vehicles.html#Stoat

Shoulder fired IRH seeking StingerRockets: we offer stinger launchers at $90,000 and missiles at $10,000 (yes i know FAS quotes them at several million but that isn't a true unit price it is just the entire project cost and aquistion costs added together and divided by the number of US units, with the sheer number of stingers and other shoulder launched SAM kicking about the tech is likely rather cheap on NS these days)
90mm recoiless rifles: we currently do not produce any recoiless rifles (but we do have some 84mm carl gustav's kicking aorund in storage) but we would recomend you send a TG to Lovala as they produce a range of recoiless rifles.

PazerFausts,LAW's,and RPG's: here we would offer our M4 light assault weapon (LAW) which is basically an upgraded UK LAW80. Price per unit is $3000. We also can produce RPG-7v's on request at a per contract negotiated price (name your price)

Any electronic warfare equipment: Crookfur Electronic Services produce a wide range of EW items, we tend to offer our products on a per project basis so as to give the customer best value and perfromance (ie if you you have a specific requirmeent or base unit you want us to work from).

Claymore mines, "Bouncing Betty's", mp-4 anti-personell mines: As a UN nation we can nolonger offer to sell you such items as mines but as land torpedos (if the UN insists on being so silly i will use a silly sidestep, as they failed to define what a mine is) again these are offered a per contract price

Plastic explosives(in bulk), with 'squib' detonators, and proxy trigers as well: we offer a full range of plastic explosives both in prepared form and in powder form, price per 5 gallon drum of powder is negotiable as is the price for detoantors etc.
AA equipment we offer a rnage of options rnaging from the AA version of our staot LAV: http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/vehicles.html#Stoat
through to dedicated battery isntallations for our SAM8L and SAM10 missiles: http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/missiles.html (bottom of the page)

and heavy AT munitions, preferable HEAT, or Sabot: If by this you mean rounds for direct fire AT guns as opposed to ATGMS We currently produce anti tank muntions in 105mm NATO, 120mm NATO and 140mm NATO(proposed)

Mortars with incediary rounds our 81mm mortar is exported at $30,000 per unit and ammo at $45million per million rounds

We hope that some of our proposals meet your requirmeents.

Crookfur, I will be compiling a list.
As per electronic warfare, EMPbombs preferably able to fired from your rocket platform.
I will also be wanting a variety of your shoulder fire weapons and mock-ups RPG's in th soviet fashion(simplicity of operation).
My schedule has limits so I aplogize for not having the list at presenst.

We of course fully understand the need to take time over any decisions concerning defence procurment.

EMP weapons haven't really been a feature of Crookfur development but yes we can biuld them (workable EMPs are failry simple as far as borderline WMDs go).

We await further communication as to how we can help fulfil your requirements.
