In search of defense supplies!

26-12-2003, 18:56
Well, here I am, colony of The Zoogie People and in need of defense supplies. First, I must post my stats as of December 26, 2003, to clarify that I can afford high-qualitiy supplies and limitations are only on my population.


Population: 62,000,000
Civil Rights: Excessive
Economy: Powerhouse
GDP per Capita: $25,000
GDP: $1,550,000,000,000
National Budget: $789,235,200,000

Percentage of GDP Spent on Defense: 5.09%
Percentage of Budget Spent on Defense: 10%
Military Budget: $78,923,520,000


It's sad that with a population less than half of The Zoogie People, the budget is so much greater. Therefore, I will be making some purchases for my other nation The Zoogie People because it's too poor and I got nothing better to spend my military budget on.

We are in need of several military supplies:

[Army]

For a heavy tank, we have our mother country's contract with Hutu, so we are mostly in need of a lighter tank or a tank destroyer. In addition, we are looking for an attack helicopter, or soldier-transport helicopter.

[Navy]

We are looking for one fleet right now, with one aircraft carrier, several ships that are in that fleet (I hear they aren't called destroyers anymore...w/e, ships with guns), some submarines, and of course naval aircraft for the carrier.

[Air Force]

My favorite branch of the military :lol:

Air Superiority - We are looking for a place to purchase Eurofighter Typhoons and/or F-22s at a reasonable price.

Multirole - We are currently looking at the F/A-42, RF-11D, and for cheaper ones, the F-35A and F-16XL. Any nation who wants to advertise their multirole fighter should post here and compare to the F-35 or F-16...

Strike - We are currently looking at the Su-37 Raysian Special (the 'just in time for Xmas' version), but wish to have other attack aircraft in our arsenal.

Bomber - If you have any suggestions...F-117 or B-2...or B-1 or B-52...or better yet, your own...please link me.

Transportation - C-17, but since I don't know much about transports, anything would do.

CAS - I know what this means...but can't think of any aircraft.
Please point me to some links and tell me about your items...and how many I should buy. :)

Pwnica Military Storefront. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=107386&highlight=)
We have F-22s for 46 million apiece (2 versions even, for ATA and ATG) and RAH-66 Comanches (48 million apiece) for a strike helicopter. We also carry the M1A2 Abrams but I wouldn't classify it as a "Light tank".
26-12-2003, 19:14
Pwnica...I don't really see a difference b/w ATA and ATG...the craft is the same only the armament is different, unless you ship with armament?...

Anyways...any more? :lol: I've only spent 19.405 billion, my budget is near 80 billion, and for the past three NS weeks of my existence, I've been producing domestic military equipment (i.e, machine guns) for my military so I won't need those ;)

Transport Helicopter

An upgraded Ka-60. Better than Blackhawk, Huey, anything else really.

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=105251&highlight=
Attack Helicopter

Best helo in the NS world. Ever.

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=99604&highlight=
Air Superiority

The stealth of the F-22, speed of the F-14, maneurability of the Su-37, without the large priice tage.

Multirole Fighter

We took an F-16....and made it better than the Eurofighter :D

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98620&highlight=

Two entire generations ahead of the A-10, Su-39 and even some of the newer ones.

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=100354&highlight=

The worlds most up to date T-55. Better than the M1A2, anyday.

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=101825&highlight=

Can kill any tank on earth.

Half the stuff I sell. Be right back with the navy.

Yep, I ship it with unless asked not to.
26-12-2003, 19:37
To clarify, ship 60 of my F-22s ATA and 40 ATG...or should I put this in your thread?
Pwnica
26-12-2003, 19:39
Yeah, better. Since none was specified we were going to ship them all ATA.
Just edit your post. :)

26-12-2003, 19:41
I give you nothing! Nothing! You're right about the whole depressing thing with the budget and the population... Sad.
26-12-2003, 19:44
Yeah, I did this colony with research from the test region.

Pwnica: Edited. :lol:
26-12-2003, 19:52
Now in need of submarines and naval aircraft. And perhaps some bombers.
26-12-2003, 19:54
Actually now that I think of it I could get you stuff. I have a decent stock of F16s for sale... to lazy to give the details though... I love my airforce. I could give you some pretty cheap since you're in the space program.
The Zoogie People
26-12-2003, 20:06

26-12-2003, 23:13

I am disappointed in you zoogies, you shoped from Tokarev and not me? My aircraft carriers are cheaper than his yet better! He overcharges for the aircraft carrier - the trimaran hull design is cheaper to manufacture than monohull.
The Zoogie People
26-12-2003, 23:24
Sorry, Doujin, didn't notice your storefront...oh well, you can't have one aircraft carrier forever, my next one might be from you, you never know. :)
26-12-2003, 23:32
Has it been 1 NS week yet, because if it has, I can sell you:

F16s, only 10 million per, or 90 million for a pack of 10, 180 million for a pack of 20, 270 million for a pack of 30... (buy 9, get one free) up until a full division of 200, normally 2 billion, for only 1.5 billion.

Mig-1s, for only 6 million per, 50 million for a pack of 10, 100 million for a pack of 20... (Buy 10, get 10 million off) up until a full division of 200, normally 1.6 billion, for only 1.2 billion. And, for an amazing limited time special, 400 aircraft, normally 3.2 billion, for only the outreageously low price of 2.6 billion! (No, I'm not a salesman but I can sure as hell sound like one when I have to.)

Also, for the first time, we are selling B-2 Spirit bombers, for the unbelievably low price of 20 million per plane. And here's an amazing deal: I can give you 30 of them, prabably enough for your whole army, normally 600 million, for only 500 million! An amazing deal if I ever saw one.
26-12-2003, 23:37
Well...sorry, I meant NS year. BUt reviewing what you said...

1) I will only accept F-16E/F (the delta wing kind, more commonly known as F-16XL) but may consider it for mass production in the future.

2) What are MiG-1s?

3) I'll take 30 B-2s, I have spare budget (20 billion of it). 500 million wired. I didn't buy any bombers on my spree :)

4) Do you have a storefront?
26-12-2003, 23:40
Mig-1s are basic planes designed by the USSR durring the Cold War, but are still effective today. One of their major assets is that they are cheap to buy and produce so you can simply overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers. They're not the fastest, most powerful, most maneuverable, or really the most anything other than cheap, but that alone makes them highly useful.
26-12-2003, 23:44
Please confirm my B-2 order ;)

As for the MiG-1, my concern is my pilots' lives...I have a slightly cheaper aircraft (along with production rights) which has been modified into a UAV...but perhaps I can purchase a limited number of MiG-1s for UAV purposes in the future.
26-12-2003, 23:50
Order of bombers confirmed. They're on their way.

And about the concern for your troops lives, I know what you mean. However, if you send 5 F16s or any other more advanced fighters with around 30 Mig-1s, your enemies will tend to focus their fire on the advanced fighters, who will then simply fire from out of range of the anti aircraft fire, but close enough so that it seems to the enemy that they are in range, causing them to attempt to take them down, leaving your Migs to attack. This is still however, a risky strategy.
26-12-2003, 23:51
Yeah, that's why I converted my KE-1's to UAVs.
27-12-2003, 00:51
Doujin: I don't overcharge. You undercharge, you give a price that would cause you to lose profit in the actual production of the said ships.




And on top of that you made up stats. I used the existing set of statistics being developed by the Royal Navy. So there.
27-12-2003, 00:58
Oh well...I like both of your storefronts.
27-12-2003, 17:34
I've more to spend now :) New week and so, new NS year. I should be able to patch up what I didn't buy last time.

I've 70 billion to spend - on 12% budget, and saving 30 billion or so for maintenance and other stuff.

What I've missed?...Mostly navy planes, more naval ships, submarines...perhaps a few planes. Keep advertising :)

29-12-2003, 03:42
Silverlecim, I'll take 200 F-16s for 1.5 billion now.
