Okay, here's the deal.....
My F-14's and F-15's have had their run... Where can a country get 100 Eurofighter Typhoons around this joint? Prefferably with VTOL option.
My woefuly outdated Leopard tanks are gonna be scrapped so I need 200 Challenger 2 Main Battle Tanks with full complement of Depleted Uranium shells. Gotta love the NBC protection, Independent target acquisition and the gyrostabilised sight and laser range finding
And I need 50 AS-90 Self-Propelled Artillery... Gonna kick me some commie ass.....
Well, I don't know if you could afford much more than F-15s right now...
But if you want a VTOL Superiority fighter, check this out:

Raysia has added the ability to VTOL through lift jets and vents under the fuselage, pulse-detonating hybrid engines, and a computer upgraded to use the RF-11's VisorScreen system. It has also been equipped with several built in jammers and ECMs, along with a few scanners, extended radar, and digital cameras.
