ARMOUR

http://www.army.mod.uk/img/equipment/av/cr2.3.jpg http://www.army.mod.uk/img/equipment/av/cr2.2.jpg
There are 2 doctrines of armour combat in the world today. Fight at long ranges (Challenger 2), or use speed to close with the enemy (M1A2). These are only 2 tanks in the world to have sucessfully proved themselves in multiple theatres of combat. We offer the Challenger 2.
The superb Challenge 2 is the Li Kam States Main Battle Tank. On paper, the L30 CHARM 120mm rifled gun is the most accurate in the world. On the battlefield, the Challenger 2 holds the record for the longest range kill. The wold beating second generation Chobham armour has competition only from the M1A2 - and this is based on the Chobam design sold to the U.S. Survivability and accuracy are the advantages of this MBT. RPGs bounce off this tank, they disabled a M1A2 for some reason...

Questions, bargain hunters and countries looking for reasonably priced equipment that goes beyong the bog standard AK-47, post here!

At this point the people's defence forces of Santo Hermando are attempting a reform of our armed forces, perhaps these rather cheap and powerful weapons might prove to be an excellent backbone to the peoples National guards' basic units...

The defence minister tells us that we would be in need of ATGM-systems along with basic infantry LMG's and perhaps sniper rifles of some sorts.

Can the Li Kam states help us in this matter, perhaps?

The cabinet of the republic has agreed on the funding of a four million arms deal with the Li kai states:

The bought items are as follows:

100 X 5,56 mm Minimi LMG's

100 X MILAN ATGM systems

20 X L16A2 81mm Mortar

100 X Long Range Rifle type-"L115A1"

70 X L1A1 12.7 mm Heavy Machinegun (HMG)


Four million dollars have been sent to the Li Kai trade representitives.

Barentsburg, thank you for your purchase. Your order should be delivered by the next day.
*Order Confirmed*

Santo Hermando, due to the size of your order, the Ministry of Defence expects these weapons to take slightly longer to deliver - they should arrive within the next 4 to 5 days.
*Order Confirmed*

We look foreward to continued trade with your nations.

Ministry of Defence
Constitutional Monarchy of Li Kam States

33,000 81mm Mortar $224,400,000

24,000 51mm Mortar $120,000,000

While building our navy, we will also look to expand our army's firepower - to enhance our position in combat situations.
