The Armed Republic of Nadgazad has just recieved a blank cheque from the Commonwealth of Varessa and I am in need of some weapons and equipment.

Specifically, after consultation with Varessan millitary we have come up with the following:

350 Merkava 4 MBTs
46,000 H&K G11 Assault Rifles
120,000 66mm LAWs
60 RAH66 Comanche Helicopters
400 Crusader 155mm Self propelled Howitzer
1,050 Rover 110 6X6 Trucks
3,000 HMMWV 4x4 Jeeps
300 Avenger low level air defence platform

All reasonable offers will be replied to and thank you for your time.

I would, at this juncture, just like to confirm to all interested parties that, yes, the line of credit that has been claimed by the Armed Republic of Nadgazad is valid, and they are indeed backed in their assertations by the Varessan Central Reserve. Any purchases that they are unable to directly afford will be underwritten.

Minister John Hannaford
Chairman
Varessan Central Reserve

Secondary point (OOC: and relatively shameless bump), the contract will, of course, go to the lowest bidder, although anything so low as to be realistically unfeasible will not be agreed to. Any questions of a sensible nature (and most others) will be answered.

May we take this opertunity to introduce some of our excellent yet very cost effective products: Namely:

MBT: MBT2000 "Al-Khaild"
http://www.pakistanidefence.com/images/Support%20Pics/Al_Khalid_Mbt2000.jpg

MBT2000 Tanks Unique Abilities

Al-Khalid is capable of targeting the enemy in the dark of night. It is the only tank that has the ability to auto-track the enemy's tanks. Only French tanks have this capability. It is also as powerful as the German tank Leopard in terms of movement. The Al-Khalid tank's performance is much better than the Russian T-90-S tank, since its designed extreme temperatures.

Features & Fire Power

Al-Khalid has been designed with a 125mm (48 caliber) smooth bore, auto-frettaged and chrome plated gun which can fire APFSDS, HEAT-FS and HE-FS conventional ammunition and missiles. It is equipped with muzzle reference system, and bi-axis stabilization. Elevation and azimuth control is achieved by electro-hydraulic power drives. The tank is also equipped with a 7.62 mm-coaxial MG, 12.7mm externally mounted MG that can be fired with the hatch closed and grenade launchers.

The gunner is provided with a dual magnification day sight and the commander with a panoramic Hunter Killer sight for all around independent surveillance. Both sights are bi-axis image stabilized and have independent laser range finders.

Multi-Target Engagement Abilities

The commander has the ability of acquiring a target independently while the gunner is engaging a previously selected one.

Rate Of Fire

The automatic ammunition handling system, with 24 round ready-to-fire magazine further supplements the Hunter-Killer capability of the tank which can load at a rate of 8 rounds a minute. The presence of automatic target tracking system enables the tank to achieve a very high first round hit probability even while firing on a moving target while moving itself.

Night Vision
Night vision for the gunner and commander is achieved through a dual magnification thermal imaging sight. The powerful fire control system computer processes all the firing information, which includes inputs from its ten sensors and is integrated to both sights.

Fire Control
The ballistic computation time is less than one second. For accurate fire control, third generation gating facility has been provided. The result of such a modern fire control system is, routine first round hits on standard (8 ft x 8 ft) targets at ranges in excess of 2000 meters.
The tank with its 125mm gun has a remarkably stable platform, which is provided by a combination of soft recoil and an excellent suspension.

Wrapped around the fire control system are the ergonomic crew positions and controls. The tank commander, gunner and driver can virtually reach all their controls with little movement.

Engine
A 1200 horsepower super charged, diesel engine and semi-automatic transmission, provides mobility. An under Armour auxiliary power supply unit provides a significant reduction in fuel consumption during 'Silent Watch' and maintenance operations, as auxiliary functions can be performed without main engine power. The highly reliable suspension consists of torsion bars, hydraulic dampers and buffers that afford a high level of comfort for its crew.

Combat Weight & Speed
Besides a low silhouette, it is considerably smaller as compared to other modern tanks. Its maximum weight of 46 tons provides a double advantage; it is strategically easily deployed and is more agile. Its power to weight ratio, in excess of 26 HP/ton, gives the vehicle a maximum speed of around 70 km/h, acceleration from 0~ 30 km/h in less than 10 seconds.

Its low mean maximum pressure and the excellent ride given by its suspension make Al-Khalid an ideal vehicle to fight in any theatre of operation.

Armour & Protection
Al-Khalid has been designed to provide maximum protection and efficiency for its 3 men crew. Protection is afforded by use of modular composite Armour and explosive reactive Armour. Al-Khalid also offers enhanced protection through NBC, an effective Thermal Smoke Generation, Automatic Fire Extinguishing and Explosion Suppression Systems.

Limited Under Water Capabilities
The submerging system allows it to operate 5 meters under water. Navigation is assisted by the use of Global Positioning and Inertial Navigation Systems.

Cost : $2,000,000 Per Unit.

Thank you for your offer of both the Type 54 .50 Cal MG and G3 A4 Assault Rifle, in addition to the Al-Khalid MBT. We think very highly of the Al-Khalid as an MBT, and, were our requirements slightly different, would probably take you up on your offer of that superb machine.

However, the Merkava 4 offers an exceptional combat capability, but also grants transport for up to 8 infantrymen. The latter capability allows us to field armoured units as combination armour and mechanised infantry, an ability which would serve as a considerable force multiplier in any given engagement. We have, however, come to the conclusion that the Al-Khalid could be of extensive use to some of our allies, and will contact them to that extent. Expect a request for examples to field test sometime in the near future.

The Type 54 MG is, again, a well-built and cost effective item, however, we have no immediate requirements for a 12.7mm weapon at this stage. We will, however, bear your offer in mind, and, if and when the need materialises, take you up on your offer then.

Regarding the G3 A4, we must respectfully decline. Extensive evaluation, and additional recent consultation with our military advisers (and financial backers) has come out in favour of the G11. Thank you again, nonetheless.

Price: 48 million USD

Are you able to supply those helicopters, Pwinca?

If so, the required sum, $48 million per aircraft to a total of 60 aircraft, $2.88 billion, will be despatched through standard channels.

That is, of course, pending any better offers from competitors, such as they are, forthcoming within two RL days.

Yes, we are. We produce them.

Glad to hear it. The helicopter purchase part of the contract is thus likely to go to you. Thank you for your time, Pwnica. Watch this space for any competition you may have. The lowest bidder will, of course, recieve the contract, provided all operational requirements are met.

As regards to the field trials our services are awlays available.

Thankyou very much,

Sincerely,

IDS, Rockfort.

Instead of H&K G11s why not go for the IMI Gali or the Nikonov AN-94?

Golden Simatar

Thank you for the offer, but the caseless ammunition, high muzzle velocity and huge capacity of the G11 offers great advantage over the Galil or AN-94. And, as it's our benefactor's money, rather than our own which we are spending, the additional cost isn't a problem...

Thanks anyway
