ZF - 27 Air Superiority Fighter
Pride of Zoogie: Zoogie Aerospace ZF-27
http://images.janes.com/aerospace/military/news/idr/s0111197.jpg
.: ZF - 27 ... Welcome to friendly skies :.
The Zoogie People had prided its military in its aircraft industry, and yet, its fleet of domestic air superiority aircraft were small, although in recent years the ZF-15 had undergone a massive upgrading programe. The rest were comprised mainly of lighter air superiority fighters such as the MiG-29M, and foreign imports, such as the Kazakhstanian F-42 and Lockheed Martin F-22. A true, advanced, top of the line air superiority fighter was needed.
Kazakhstania’s F-42 was a great fighter that very well served the role of long-range interceptor. However, the sheer bulk of the F-42 did not make for as good maneuverability and other qualities desired. After a review of designs submitted by Star Systems and Zoogie Aerospace, the unbiased Zoogie People government selected the concept of Zoogie Aerospace industries.
The ZF-27 was influenced heavily by technologies from Lockheed Martin, as well as European designs such as the Eurofighter and Rafale. Featuring a heightened cockpit for a better view for the pilot, state-of-the-air multifunction displays with much technology used by Zoogie teams in its recent joint Project Falcon (ZF-28 Sarkishi/F-45 Sarkishi).
The ZF-27 has two main armament storage areas: the center bays, which take up much of the centerline, and the fuselage bays, which take up the side and some portions of the centerline.
The large center bays are greater in terms of size than the F-22, and can hold up to eight slots of weapons – that is, with air superiority missiles such as the AIM-120, Skyflash, AIM-7, R77, Mica, and any dogfighting missiles, and small 500 lb bombs taking up one slot, and larger air-to-air missiles (ala Phoenix; Anti-AWACs, Amos) and other stores taking two. The side bays, when armed, extend to allow the heat-seeking missiles to feel for their target. Because of the slight enlengthening of the sidebays, and because of the four-feet-long overlap into the center, the side bays can carry two IR-seeking missiles apiece. In its A2A role, already, this aircraft surpasses the Raptor in payload.
But that is not all the armament it can carry. At the price of maximum stealth, the ZF-27 can carry two pylons on each wing, and more pylons on the wingtips. In the event that one truly wanted to load the ZF-27 to its fullest extent, ‘packages’ – groups of missiles/bombs strung together – can be used. This enables four AIM-9 missiles to be put on the wingtips, by adding one slightly to the side of the wingtip, and have packages of three AIM-9/AIM-120 on the wing. This is highly not suggested because of the reduction in maneuverability; however, in some cases it can be highly useful.
Incorporating advanced avionics, such as a look-down-shoot down all-aspect radar that far exceeds the F-22’s radar capabilities, a stunningly efficient anti-radar system brother to the prototypes developed for Project: Falcon, incorporated infrared, laser, and other systems, the ZF-27 builds on the long tradition of superior systems.
But that’s not to say the ZF-27 is not worthy in maneuverability. Quite the contrary, the ZF-27 is one of our most maneuverable aircraft – and the most tested – to date. The ZF-27 airframe is built to withstand tough blows, pressures, and to shield the pilot from as many G’s as possible – usually to very minimal effect, but an effect nevertheless. Two 36,000-lb engines can propel the aircraft to cruising speeds of up to Mach 1.7, and with afterburners, the aircraft is rumoured to be able to reach speeds of Mach 2.8; although the highest testing speed attained was Mach 2.58, and the highest cruising speed Mach 1.63. Equipped with automated three-dimensional thrust vectoring, the ZF-27’s angle of attack and maneuverability in close dogfights is revolutionary. With a +/- 60 degree difference, this aircraft’s engine vectoring not only exceeds by far that of any previous Zoogie engine, but also shortens the necessary runway length and speed necessary for takeoff – as well as drastically shortening landings.
In tests conducted, a ZF-27 air force model leapt into the air at just over 140 knots, and landed on a Nimitz-CVN-76-type carrier with no hook, and came to a stop a safe distance away from the edge.
Also equipped on the ZF-27 is an evolution of the Project-Falcon gun system. This purely air superiority aircraft stressed the ability to shoot down enemy aircraft more than Project-Falcon, and so the amount of rounds was nominally increased. Dual six-barrel, 20mm cannons on each side of the cockpit are fitted with 640 rounds apiece, and controlled either manually, or by a gun system. In heated dogfight mode, the activated weapons are the heat-seeking missiles in the side bays. The pilot is free to arm the weapon manually; it starts off disarmed. The selected target is tracked by the electronics system, which controls how many rounds to be fired and when. Default setting is the firing of the cannon whenever 60% hit probability or higher is achieved; and how many rounds is dependent on the make of the aircraft and its current airframe status. The rounds are propelled towards the aircraft to greatly increase probability of hit, more than the percentage indicators dictate. Though less effective with ground targets (they don’t move around), it still works 100%. The advantage of using them against ground targets, however, is questionable. The entire idea of the system is to leave the pilot free to maneuver, and even select another weapon to attack his target – such as a backfiring IR missile.
The ZF-27 has secondary ground attack capability. It is capable of carrying two GBU-28/P bombs, 4500-lb laser guided monsters, in its center bays while leaving room for two AIM-9 missiles at the ends, and four more in the side bays. Deep strike of tough targets such as bunkers and fortified hangars usually call for this configuration (six AIM-9X; two GBU-28/P; full cannon). If necessary, eight 500-lb Mark 82HD ‘Snakeye’ or eight 400-lb cluster bombs can be used, for such chain targets as supply lines and massed ground forces and/or ships docket in a bay. Larger bombs, such as the GBU-16 and GBU-32 JDAM 1000-lb munitions, can be carried as well. Four can be carried in the center bays, which is used primarily for deep strike/infiltration missions against more easily destroyed targets such as hangars and command centers. Because the bays have been enlargened, missiles the F-22 could not carry in its bay are now able to be carried. The GBU-28/P, as previously mentioned, can be carried in quantities of two – as well as, for that matter, the AGM-154C JSOW. Four AGM-88 HARM or similar can be carried as well, although due to the nature and size of the missile, only two AM-39 or AGM-84 antiship missiles can be carried.
There are still more possibilities for this aircraft. It was designed with extensibility in mind. Eight Penguin AntiShip missiles can be carried, for example, which would make the craft more useful for carrier fleet patrol (naval version pending). If absolutely necessary, the ZF-27 can even become an anti-tank aircraft, with as many as sixteen AT-2 ‘swatter’ antitank missiles or AGM-114K Hellfire missiles. Nuclear capability has not been left out; one B61 or B83 bomb can be carried in its center bay, with another weight to balance the aircraft, and still leave two AIM-9 slots available in the center bays. If necessary, this nuclear platform (6 AIM-9/1 B61/full cannon) would ensure stealthy infiltration and penetration from high altitudes, with very capable short-range (6 miles and under) defense from other aircraft. Ground targets, such as SAMs, are of no consequence because in deep strike, the ZF-27 would be fifty thousand feet or more above them, and anyways, in nuclear strikes, they would be effectively liquidated soon enough.
The Zoogie People has ordered a massive amount of ZF-27As; totaling 2,460. This drove the cost-per-unit down tremendously. In addition, a two-seat combat-capable, reconnaissance-happy trainer is being developed, with a different engine and extensible reconnaissance equipment (able to be easily traded off for arms/mix/vice versa) for higher speeds (ZF-27B). A single-seat naval version is in the works (ZF-27M) as well, with possible orders of 2,680 and 1,240, respectively.
Already, the ZF-27 has won a foreign contract, fulfilling the needs of Zossen for its next generation air superiority fighter. This fighter is so laden full of technology it has been properly nicknamed, the Zoogie People’s 5th-and-a-half air superiority fighter. (Our previous two multirole aircraft being 5th-and-a-quarter)

The aircraft that propelled Zoogie Aerospace into position as the leading aerospace company in Zoogiedom, the ZF-26 is one of The Zoogie People's first entries into a fifth-generation aircraft. A twin-engine, lightweight fighter, the ZF-26 is capable of all the standards started in the ZF-24 program by Star Systems: low RCS, supercruise, enhanced avionics, and automated 3D thrust vectoring.
Equiped with advanced avionics, the ZF-26 comes standard with forward-looking infrared, look-down-shoot-down advanced radar capable of tracking up to ten targets at a time, and the most advanced fly-by-wire system available, the ZF-26 makes the job easier for the pilot. Geared towards especially the suppression of enemy air defenses and ship destruction, the ZF-26 has also proved to be a capable interceptor. In the all-air configuration, the ZF-26 performed exceptionally well in official flight simulators, beating out the MiG-29 90% of the time. It demonstrated the ZF-26's superior AoA and handling in close dogfight situations, and its excellent jamming/counter measures system.

Star Systems originally based the idea on the Eurofighter platform, but the program for a 4th generation multirole fighter was awarded to Zoogie Aerospace's much cheaper alternative. Now, the Eurofighter airframe has been completely taken apart, reworked, and improved upon just for the original concepts. The growth of this project resulted in a tremendous aircraft that has some faint signs that a Eurofighter ideas had been used. Fitted with advanced avionics and an anti-radar system, this aircraft can carry large payloads, especially for long-range CAP missions, and have unprecedented maneuverability for a fighter its size. A very effective anti-ship aircraft also useful for SEAD, it was later discovered that the aircraft's speed and stealth on empty loads could be exploited, and a reconaissance version was developed. A huge order from The Zoogie People helped keep the cost down.

Ok, I'm pulling a Kazakhstania here. Only not quite as good.
Ready?...
Several years ago, The Zoogie People called for a cheap, lightweight, effective air superiority aircraft to compliment its fleet of multi-role F-16C’s. The F-16’s utility almost always involved a ground-role of some kind, for The Zoogie People, as its bombers and other strike aircraft were few (not anymore, with two new multirole fighters for the next generation – the ZF-24 and ZF-26), and therefore, needed an air superiority aircraft to escort it.
Zoogie Aerospace won the contract, as generally expected. Its primary competitors, Star Systems and Anthon, Inc, were busy with their own research projects – space taxi research for Star Systems and a possible attack submarine, which was delayed shortly after, for Anthon, Inc.
Design began on the so-called ZF-12, first true Zoogie fighter. An effective fighter with capability of carrying four medium ranged radar-guided R77 Adders and at the same time, 6 short-ranged R73 Archers, the one-engine fighter proved to be very versatile and agile in testing. However, the centerline fuel tank tended to bog down performance, and was replaced with a FLIR-pod instead. The FLIR-pod is now standard of the ZF-12, which is incorporated with the avionics system. With some tweaking, a nation is able to change the FLIR-pod to a fuel tank or bomb, but only if absolutely necessary.
Fuel tanks, meanwhile, were kept on the wings, although unnecessary except for combat air patrol. On either side of a single wing – mounted fuel tank, if needed, could hold a single R73 on each side. Without the fuel tanks, though, this was still possible.
After a period of time, however, the avionics aged, the agility lagged, the systems proved to be old. A new generation of aircraft was needed. The Air Force called on Zoogie Aerospace to make the ZF-12C. The Zoogie People’s neighbor, Penguisiana, meanwhile, was searching for a plane of its own. Sending a team of scientists to collaborate in the design and upgrading of the ZF-12A, Penguisiana now produces ZF-12Cs and sells them in a joint license between the two countries.
With upgraded avionics, an enhanced fly-by-wire system, reduced RCS, supercruise, greater range and fuel efficiency, and limited thrust vectoring technology, the ZF-12C started several traditions that the Zoogie People’s military aircraft have followed ever since. This was not a mere upgrade of a fighter. The ZF-12C brought the ZF-12 program into the next generation, and with it, the Zoogie Air Force as well. Around this time, the Air Force commenced a large-scale upgrade of our F-16Cs, the first to incorporate thrust vectoring technology after the ZF-12. Production and many avionics as well as technical details could not have been accomplished in such a short space of time without the creative minds of Penguisiana’s team.
As the ZF-12C testing phase came to a close, its versatility as a fighter showed that it could also be used as a strike aircraft. Between testing and production, a new attack configuration was added, in which rather than two Archers or a 400-gallon tank and two Archers, each wing had two separate hardpoints. Fitted onto these hardpoints could be a wide assortment of bombs, air-to-surface missiles, rocket pods, anti-ship missiles, or even the SU-1600 Gun Pod. Agility decreased in general, but in strike, less agility was needed than in dogfighting. To this day the strike role remains secondary. There are F-16s already in the air force for that purpose.
Several years ago, the ZF-12C began rolling off both Penguisiana and the Zoogie People’s production lines. Nicknamed Penguin, in honor of the great help Penguisiana gave, the ZF-12C boasted features that would make the legendary ZF-12A cower in shame. Advanced look-down shoot-down radar, first-look first kill, and nuclear capability (not that we use it :P) were incorporated along with other extreme advancements in avionics. The FLIR-system improved greatly as well, and a radar warning system, coupled with passive radar and an advanced jamming system, helped pilots avert danger. New to the ZF-12C is a HARM-seeker, to accommodate the ground attack role. The ZF-12C can be fitted with 4 HARM/Sidearm/ALARM missiles as necessary, in the strike accommodation, or any other passive radar ASM, for that matter.
The ZF-12 program has advanced greatly with the recent C version. The ZF-12 is still a versatile fighter, and even more so – but now it is seen as just an effective ground attack aircraft. Technically ground attack is still secondary, but the ZF-12 has evolved from an excellent fighter to a superb fighter/multi-role aircraft to fly alongside of the F-16…rather than just supplement it.
Finally, after many years, the ZF-12C has been unveiled for export. Many maintain the ZF-12C’s time is passed, but this is not true. Featuring more upgrades than ever, the ZF-12C is still an important part to anyone’s air force.
The Zoogie People and Penguisiana are equally selling this aircraft, and profits will be divided equally. Penguisiana is making a venture into submarines, and the Zoogie People has a general military storefront that will gradually get larger and encompass more products.

The Zoogie People's large wing of F-16Cs was indeed aging. However, rather than scrap them, a program was initiated to improve them. With much more advanced radar, IR, and interior systems, the F-16C's we use have become a much more formidable fighter. Through various methods, most notable of them radar-absorption paint, the radar cross section has been reduced. With improved speed, supercruise, agility, and power, the F-16CZ will serve as an even greater asset than before. If you currently have more than 100 F-16Cs, send your F-16s to us and $6 million per F-16 and we will provide you with F-16CZs in return.
MiG-29M/K
http://www.mach3graphics.com/misc%20graphics/jpg/Mig29Maboveclouds.jpg
Description: advanced MiG-29 variant; newest of the MiG-29s with many updates including extension of center of gravity and fly-by-wire. Mainly air superiority with secondary ground attack capabilities. Hardpoints - 8 on the wing and internal cannon.
Specs: Max speed Mach 2.3; maximum takeoff weight 22400kg; internal cannon 30-mm GSh-30-1; two 20,725-lb afterburning RD-33K turbofan engines.

PRODUCTION RIGHTS NOT SOLD
Russia's MiG-29 was a highly successful fighter (with secondary ground attack capabilities). It was cheap, efficient, and very agile. In the mid-to-late 80's, Miyokan Guervich took the MiG-29, and improved it significantly. Even more agile than before. More advanced systems. More power. More capability - and a carrier version to boot.
Su-35 (formerly Su-27M)
http://www.mach3graphics.com/misc%20graphics/jpg/SU-30M%20on%20tarmac.jpg
Description: Multirole fighter; improvements over Su-30 include moving canard foreplanes, digital rather than analog fly-by-wire system. Close to the Su-37 (I think)
Specs: Max speed Mach 2.35; two 27,557-lb afterburning AL-31F turbofan engines; maximum take-off weight 30 thousand kg; internal 30-mm GSh-30-1 cannon and several fuselage, wing, and wingtip hardpoints.

PROD RIGHTS NOT SOLD...
One of the more recent improvements on the successful Su-27 design, the Su-35 (and later, Su-37) was the first to show with moving canard foreplanes. Flying ease and manueverability were enhanced greatly; as were radar systems. While the Su-27 was at first a fighter with only secondary ground attack capabilities, the Su-35 can be more accurately described as multirole. In addition, it is one of the few aircraft that can perform the Cobra stunt.
Gu-13 Mobile SAM System

Based heavily on the Sa-17, the Gu-13 is a SAM with many improvements - improved active radar, greater speed, greater range, greater maneuverability, and overall a better aircraft killer. In addition, the turntable now holds six missiles instead of four (ignore the picture).
Maximum altitude: 22,000 feet
Range: 2.5 to 40 miles
Pricing: $ 25 million per unit (I think that's how much they cost anyways)
Production rights: $2 billion to NNA members, $5 billion for trusted allies; $777 billion for the general public :P
Zoogie-class hydrofoil missile ship
http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/gallery/images/missiles/harpoon/images/C12-9520-12.jpg
As our nation is located in a series of Isles, it has several vulnerable bays. It calls for the need of a small, agile, fast missile ship that can take on enemy ships, is not expensive, and can also shoot aircraft out of the sky efficiently.
The result is the Zoogie-class hydrofoil. Similar in many aspects to the Russian Sarancha, this ship uses advanced hydrofoil technology to cruise the sea nearly 60 knots - on two 15,000-lb turbines. While much aspects are still unknown to the general public, rumour has it the craft is roughly 290 feet in length, making it smaller than the Sarancha - but not weaker or less agile. If anything, this is better armed and more powerful. Eight anti-ship missiles can be stored on lightweight launchers amidship, if any enemy ship intrudes while the hydrofoil is on patrol. In addition, an naval SAM system is loaded, that can carry 25 SAMs - able to reach aircraft nearly 30 miles away. In addition, there is a rapid-fire anti-aircraft cannon located on the aft. Each of these comes with fire control radar, navigational radar, and a countermeasures unit.
This ship is not the best for open sea warfare between ships. It serves as a useful scout for fleets, however, and can shoot aircraft efficiently. For our purposes, we will use it to mainly patrol our waterways, in bulk. We will also, of course, use small groups of them to scout. In rare cases, perhaps these ships may also be used as an assault - but they alone cannot go up against a full-fledged enemy fleet.
Costs are estimated at $65 million per unit.
Pride of Zoogie: The Zoogie People’s New Attack Submarine
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/nssnlogo.gif
Sohcahtoa – Class Submarine
.: Coming to an ocean near you :.
(No prod rights! Go suck a toe.)
The Sohcahtoa-class new attack submarine is the pride of The Zoogie People’s domestic naval industry. Its goal is to establish battlespace dominance in a variety of roles – from regional and littoral missions to “blue water” open-ocean roles. A stealthy, quiet, cost effective submarine, the Sohcahtoa is truly a next generation submarine.
With advanced VLS technology, the Sohcahtoa can utilize its stealthiness to launch land strikes without being seen. Its state of the art combat system and very flexible armament loads makes it one of the best anti-sub/ship warfare machines in the water.
Typical of Zoogie standards, it includes the best avionics of any submarine ever tested before. Advanced electronic sonars and communication equipment help it support a battle group very effectively. A wide array of censors collect intelligence and locate enemy targets, such as C&C, radar sites, and missile batteries, and can efficiently track ship movements and monitor communications. All this data can then be sent to the rest of the battle group.
The Sohcahtoa is also capable of secretly infiltrating enemy waters and laying down mines to disrupt enemy shipping. It can get out before being seen. It is also useful for sabotage, reconnaissance, S&R, diversionary attacks, and direction of fire support and strikes.
This paragraph is the stats paragraph. The Sohcahtoa is 380 feet in length, with a 35 foot beam and nearly 8,000-lbs of displacement. With submerged speeds nearing or exceeding 30 knots, it is one of the faster submarines operating. It can also submerge itself to over 1100 feet, with 1300 being its structural limits. Different from most previous submarines, it can also carry unmanned underwater vehicles.
The armament is flexible. With four 21” inch torpedo tubes and fourteen Vertical Launch Systems, the Sohcahtoa class is able to deliver deadly torpedoes and Tomahawk cruise missiles. Torpedoes such as the Mark 48 will be used to destroy other submarines and ships. Advanced moving mines will be used to lay mines across enemy shipping paths. Unmanned Undersea Vehicles can also be used as necessary. What is so unique about the Sohcahtoa is that it can be upgraded extensively in its lifetime.
The Zoogie People currently sells the Sohcahtoa at $2 billion. Between Zoogie People and Chinese Army, there are already 380 submarines ordered. (280-100) With public export available, the Sohcahtoa is bound to be blowing up ships in an ocean near you soon.
The Zoogie People has a nuclear attack submarine? Oh really? Wher—aaargh!!
Notes: Like a Virginia, but better.

Mark 99 'Sweetheart'
http://www.3d-modelmother.com/images/Snake-i.jpg
Appeareance: Think Mark 82HD. Multiply by 15.
Weight: 7,500-lbs
Description: Known as the ‘Mother of All Bombs’ among air force pilots, this bomb is much more effective than the actual Mother of All Bombs the US tested in March 2003. Lighter, yet still very strong. The inside of the bomb is packed full of high-quality, high-power explosive material that would give it over twice the impact of a similar weight Mark 84. Utilizes the 82-HD ‘Snake-eye’s’ unique tail – (similar to it, at least) – for additional guidance towards the target, the ‘dumb bomb’ can effectively clear masses of enemies, penetrate bunkers, uproot towers, melt planes, and, more or less, tear human beings into tiny bits. Thus it has been affectionately given the name ‘sweetheart,’ and been variably called ‘baby’ and ‘cutie pie.’
GBU-X ‘JDAM-heart (‘Mother of all bombs’)
Appearance: Think JDAM-Mark 83 with the HD tail extension. Multiply by 15.
Weight: 7,500-lbs
Description: A huge bomb, as described above, except with the JDAM guidance system inserted. A bunch of storage bunkers you need to penetrate? No problem! Just drop one of these on top, and it’ll hit and destroy, guaranteed, double your money back. Might destroy your plane, too, if you’re not careful. Truly the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch of Modern Times. ‘…First shalt thou select the enemy. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more, no less – three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shall thou count to two, excepting that thou then proceedest to three. Five, is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, a red circle that says ‘shoot’ shall appeareth on thy HUD, and thou shall press the trigger, and fly upwards – and the target, being naughty in my sight, shall sneeze itself to smitherins. Amen.’ What happens if you don’t fly upwards? You will be deprived of the right of watching your enemy explode; rather, you will be preoccupied with finding the eject trigger, before, in all likeliness, kicking the bucket. So step right up, buy your J-heart today! Buy one, buy two, or better yet, buy five! (Three, sir!) No, you silly cod, five is better than three, we’ll make more money….the J stands for JDAM, by the way.
Seeking to develop an alternative to the US 'Mother of All Bombs,' The Zoogie People has developed a smaller one, yet still packed with over 7,000 lbs of high explosive power. Strategically placed, an aircraft can pretty much wipe out an entire airbase (pending size) using one or two of these, or less for smaller airbases. Be careful when using and flying too low. In addition, an aircraft has been developed specifically to carry this; although it turned out to have many other uses as well.
Prices
I'm not sure about these, so TM me if you see a mistake.
$82,000 for one Mark 99. $100,000 for one GBU-X.
Sohcahtoan Class NSSN
:arrow: coming attraction :arrow:
Sohcahtoan-class NSSN
----------------------------------------
Powered by a S9G reactor similar to the one used in the Virginia, the new submarine will become the first major naval craft project of The Zoogie People. Manufactured by Anthon, Inc. Like the Virginia class, the to-be-named Sohcahtoan Class Attack Submarine will be stealth, multirole, and nuclear powered. It operates well both deep ocean and shallow sea. It is effective against both other submarines and naval vessels.
The Sohcahtoan Class will be coming soon to an ocean near you.
Any R&D funds will be appreciated, though we can manage ourselves. Funding for production will be appreciated...$3 billions in funds will grant you production rights when this roles out in oceans near you...

The Ring-Bearer
In a project known only to the public as one of the pilot's pet names for it, this mysterious aircraft is rumoured to be developed as a result of the recent GBU-X and Mark 99 Programs. Said to be able to carry a signle GBU-X under the centerline, and with rumoured wing pylons, the aircraft incorporates advanced avionics, low-observability, and anti-radar to maintain an amazing stealth level. While no formal name has yet been identified, rumours are that this 'black project' from Symworks Studios of Zoogie Aerospace, has already gone into mass production. The latest reports indicate that as many as three hundred have already been delivered to the Air Force, a stunning number in such as short space of time.
This preview is for general audiences.
.: Coming Soon :.
Project: Falcon
A historic joint development endeavor between Kazakhstania and Zoogiedom, Project: Falcon is rumoured to be another of Zoogie Aerospace's black projects. The only details yet available are that it is going to be one of the most advanced projects ever entered into by either of the two nations, and that it will be fast, capable, maneuverable, and feature a new anti-radar system.
This feature has been rated for nations thirteen days and over.
ZF-27
Another project by The Zoogie People's most prominent aerospace company, with much funding received from Penguisiana, the ZF-27 is The Zoogie People's entry into 5th-generation air superiority fighters (The ZF-24 and ZF-26 projects were both multirole programs for the 5th generation). With large inner bays, two engines, and a full stealth design, not only does the ZF-27 incorporate newer technology to allow for even more methods of low observability, it incorporates the latest avionics and advanced next-generation maneuverability. As the materials needed are nothing short in supply in Zoogiedom, and the Air Force requires over a thousand of them, including the two-seat combat capable trainer version, the aircraft will be much cheaper to produce relative to the F-22, yet much more maneuverable and capable.
Discounts: 5% for allies, IUSS, Protectorate Service, NNA and NNA Regional Ryders members, cumulative.

ZF - 27 Air Superiority Fighter
Pride of Zoogie: Zoogie Aerospace ZF-27
http://images.janes.com/aerospace/military/news/idr/s0111197.jpg
.: ZF - 27 ... Welcome to friendly skies :.
The Zoogie People had prided its military in its aircraft industry, and yet, its fleet of domestic air superiority aircraft were small, although in recent years the ZF-15 had undergone a massive upgrading programe. The rest were comprised mainly of lighter air superiority fighters such as the MiG-29M, and foreign imports, such as the Kazakhstanian F-42 and Lockheed Martin F-22. A true, advanced, top of the line air superiority fighter was needed.
Kazakhstania’s F-42 was a great fighter that very well served the role of long-range interceptor. However, the sheer bulk of the F-42 did not make for as good maneuverability and other qualities desired. After a review of designs submitted by Star Systems and Zoogie Aerospace, the unbiased Zoogie People government selected the concept of Zoogie Aerospace industries.
The ZF-27 was influenced heavily by technologies from Lockheed Martin, as well as European designs such as the Eurofighter and Rafale. Featuring a heightened cockpit for a better view for the pilot, state-of-the-air multifunction displays with much technology used by Zoogie teams in its recent joint Project Falcon (ZF-28 Sarkishi/F-45 Sarkishi).
The ZF-27 has two main armament storage areas: the center bays, which take up much of the centerline, and the fuselage bays, which take up the side and some portions of the centerline.
The large center bays are greater in terms of size than the F-22, and can hold up to eight slots of weapons – that is, with air superiority missiles such as the AIM-120, Skyflash, AIM-7, R77, Mica, and any dogfighting missiles, and small 500 lb bombs taking up one slot, and larger air-to-air missiles (ala Phoenix; Anti-AWACs, Amos) and other stores taking two. The side bays, when armed, extend to allow the heat-seeking missiles to feel for their target. Because of the slight enlengthening of the sidebays, and because of the four-feet-long overlap into the center, the side bays can carry two IR-seeking missiles apiece. In its A2A role, already, this aircraft surpasses the Raptor in payload.
But that is not all the armament it can carry. At the price of maximum stealth, the ZF-27 can carry two pylons on each wing, and more pylons on the wingtips. In the event that one truly wanted to load the ZF-27 to its fullest extent, ‘packages’ – groups of missiles/bombs strung together – can be used. This enables four AIM-9 missiles to be put on the wingtips, by adding one slightly to the side of the wingtip, and have packages of three AIM-9/AIM-120 on the wing. This is highly not suggested because of the reduction in maneuverability; however, in some cases it can be highly useful.
Incorporating advanced avionics, such as a look-down-shoot down all-aspect radar that far exceeds the F-22’s radar capabilities, a stunningly efficient anti-radar system brother to the prototypes developed for Project: Falcon, incorporated infrared, laser, and other systems, the ZF-27 builds on the long tradition of superior systems.
But that’s not to say the ZF-27 is not worthy in maneuverability. Quite the contrary, the ZF-27 is one of our most maneuverable aircraft – and the most tested – to date. The ZF-27 airframe is built to withstand tough blows, pressures, and to shield the pilot from as many G’s as possible – usually to very minimal effect, but an effect nevertheless. Two 36,000-lb engines can propel the aircraft to cruising speeds of up to Mach 1.7, and with afterburners, the aircraft is rumoured to be able to reach speeds of Mach 2.8; although the highest testing speed attained was Mach 2.58, and the highest cruising speed Mach 1.63. Equipped with automated three-dimensional thrust vectoring, the ZF-27’s angle of attack and maneuverability in close dogfights is revolutionary. With a +/- 60 degree difference, this aircraft’s engine vectoring not only exceeds by far that of any previous Zoogie engine, but also shortens the necessary runway length and speed necessary for takeoff – as well as drastically shortening landings.
In tests conducted, a ZF-27 air force model leapt into the air at just over 140 knots, and landed on a Nimitz-CVN-76-type carrier with no hook, and came to a stop a safe distance away from the edge.
Also equipped on the ZF-27 is an evolution of the Project-Falcon gun system. This purely air superiority aircraft stressed the ability to shoot down enemy aircraft more than Project-Falcon, and so the amount of rounds was nominally increased. Dual six-barrel, 20mm cannons on each side of the cockpit are fitted with 640 rounds apiece, and controlled either manually, or by a gun system. In heated dogfight mode, the activated weapons are the heat-seeking missiles in the side bays. The pilot is free to arm the weapon manually; it starts off disarmed. The selected target is tracked by the electronics system, which controls how many rounds to be fired and when. Default setting is the firing of the cannon whenever 60% hit probability or higher is achieved; and how many rounds is dependent on the make of the aircraft and its current airframe status. The rounds are propelled towards the aircraft to greatly increase probability of hit, more than the percentage indicators dictate. Though less effective with ground targets (they don’t move around), it still works 100%. The advantage of using them against ground targets, however, is questionable. The entire idea of the system is to leave the pilot free to maneuver, and even select another weapon to attack his target – such as a backfiring IR missile.
The ZF-27 has secondary ground attack capability. It is capable of carrying two GBU-28/P bombs, 4500-lb laser guided monsters, in its center bays while leaving room for two AIM-9 missiles at the ends, and four more in the side bays. Deep strike of tough targets such as bunkers and fortified hangars usually call for this configuration (six AIM-9X; two GBU-28/P; full cannon). If necessary, eight 500-lb Mark 82HD ‘Snakeye’ or eight 400-lb cluster bombs can be used, for such chain targets as supply lines and massed ground forces and/or ships docket in a bay. Larger bombs, such as the GBU-16 and GBU-32 JDAM 1000-lb munitions, can be carried as well. Four can be carried in the center bays, which is used primarily for deep strike/infiltration missions against more easily destroyed targets such as hangars and command centers. Because the bays have been enlargened, missiles the F-22 could not carry in its bay are now able to be carried. The GBU-28/P, as previously mentioned, can be carried in quantities of two – as well as, for that matter, the AGM-154C JSOW. Four AGM-88 HARM or similar can be carried as well, although due to the nature and size of the missile, only two AM-39 or AGM-84 antiship missiles can be carried.
There are still more possibilities for this aircraft. It was designed with extensibility in mind. Eight Penguin AntiShip missiles can be carried, for example, which would make the craft more useful for carrier fleet patrol (naval version pending). If absolutely necessary, the ZF-27 can even become an anti-tank aircraft, with as many as sixteen AT-2 ‘swatter’ antitank missiles or AGM-114K Hellfire missiles. Nuclear capability has not been left out; one B61 or B83 bomb can be carried in its center bay, with another weight to balance the aircraft, and still leave two AIM-9 slots available in the center bays. If necessary, this nuclear platform (6 AIM-9/1 B61/full cannon) would ensure stealthy infiltration and penetration from high altitudes, with very capable short-range (6 miles and under) defense from other aircraft. Ground targets, such as SAMs, are of no consequence because in deep strike, the ZF-27 would be fifty thousand feet or more above them, and anyways, in nuclear strikes, they would be effectively liquidated soon enough.
The Zoogie People has ordered a massive amount of ZF-27As; totaling 2,460. This drove the cost-per-unit down tremendously. In addition, a two-seat combat-capable, reconnaissance-happy trainer is being developed, with a different engine and extensible reconnaissance equipment (able to be easily traded off for arms/mix/vice versa) for higher speeds (ZF-27B). A single-seat naval version is in the works (ZF-27M) as well, with possible orders of 2,680 and 1,240, respectively.
Already, the ZF-27 has won a foreign contract, fulfilling the needs of Zossen for its next generation air superiority fighter. This fighter is so laden full of technology it has been properly nicknamed, the Zoogie People’s 5th-and-a-half air superiority fighter. (Our previous two multirole aircraft being 5th-and-a-quarter)

The aircraft that propelled Zoogie Aerospace into position as the leading aerospace company in Zoogiedom, the ZF-26 is one of The Zoogie People's first entries into a fifth-generation aircraft. A twin-engine, lightweight fighter, the ZF-26 is capable of all the standards started in the ZF-24 program by Star Systems: low RCS, supercruise, enhanced avionics, and automated 3D thrust vectoring.
Equiped with advanced avionics, the ZF-26 comes standard with forward-looking infrared, look-down-shoot-down advanced radar capable of tracking up to ten targets at a time, and the most advanced fly-by-wire system available, the ZF-26 makes the job easier for the pilot. Geared towards especially the suppression of enemy air defenses and ship destruction, the ZF-26 has also proved to be a capable interceptor. In the all-air configuration, the ZF-26 performed exceptionally well in official flight simulators, beating out the MiG-29 90% of the time. It demonstrated the ZF-26's superior AoA and handling in close dogfight situations, and its excellent jamming/counter measures system.

Star Systems originally based the idea on the Eurofighter platform, but the program for a 4th generation multirole fighter was awarded to Zoogie Aerospace's much cheaper alternative. Now, the Eurofighter airframe has been completely taken apart, reworked, and improved upon just for the original concepts. The growth of this project resulted in a tremendous aircraft that has some faint signs that a Eurofighter ideas had been used. Fitted with advanced avionics and an anti-radar system, this aircraft can carry large payloads, especially for long-range CAP missions, and have unprecedented maneuverability for a fighter its size. A very effective anti-ship aircraft also useful for SEAD, it was later discovered that the aircraft's speed and stealth on empty loads could be exploited, and a reconaissance version was developed. A huge order from The Zoogie People helped keep the cost down.
ZF-12C

Ok, I'm pulling a Kazakhstania here. Only not quite as good.
Ready?...
Several years ago, The Zoogie People called for a cheap, lightweight, effective air superiority aircraft to compliment its fleet of multi-role F-16C’s. The F-16’s utility almost always involved a ground-role of some kind, for The Zoogie People, as its bombers and other strike aircraft were few (not anymore, with two new multirole fighters for the next generation – the ZF-24 and ZF-26), and therefore, needed an air superiority aircraft to escort it.
Zoogie Aerospace won the contract, as generally expected. Its primary competitors, Star Systems and Anthon, Inc, were busy with their own research projects – space taxi research for Star Systems and a possible attack submarine, which was delayed shortly after, for Anthon, Inc.
Design began on the so-called ZF-12, first true Zoogie fighter. An effective fighter with capability of carrying four medium ranged radar-guided R77 Adders and at the same time, 6 short-ranged R73 Archers, the one-engine fighter proved to be very versatile and agile in testing. However, the centerline fuel tank tended to bog down performance, and was replaced with a FLIR-pod instead. The FLIR-pod is now standard of the ZF-12, which is incorporated with the avionics system. With some tweaking, a nation is able to change the FLIR-pod to a fuel tank or bomb, but only if absolutely necessary.
Fuel tanks, meanwhile, were kept on the wings, although unnecessary except for combat air patrol. On either side of a single wing – mounted fuel tank, if needed, could hold a single R73 on each side. Without the fuel tanks, though, this was still possible.
After a period of time, however, the avionics aged, the agility lagged, the systems proved to be old. A new generation of aircraft was needed. The Air Force called on Zoogie Aerospace to make the ZF-12C. The Zoogie People’s neighbor, Penguisiana, meanwhile, was searching for a plane of its own. Sending a team of scientists to collaborate in the design and upgrading of the ZF-12A, Penguisiana now produces ZF-12Cs and sells them in a joint license between the two countries.
With upgraded avionics, an enhanced fly-by-wire system, reduced RCS, supercruise, greater range and fuel efficiency, and limited thrust vectoring technology, the ZF-12C started several traditions that the Zoogie People’s military aircraft have followed ever since. This was not a mere upgrade of a fighter. The ZF-12C brought the ZF-12 program into the next generation, and with it, the Zoogie Air Force as well. Around this time, the Air Force commenced a large-scale upgrade of our F-16Cs, the first to incorporate thrust vectoring technology after the ZF-12. Production and many avionics as well as technical details could not have been accomplished in such a short space of time without the creative minds of Penguisiana’s team.
As the ZF-12C testing phase came to a close, its versatility as a fighter showed that it could also be used as a strike aircraft. Between testing and production, a new attack configuration was added, in which rather than two Archers or a 400-gallon tank and two Archers, each wing had two separate hardpoints. Fitted onto these hardpoints could be a wide assortment of bombs, air-to-surface missiles, rocket pods, anti-ship missiles, or even the SU-1600 Gun Pod. Agility decreased in general, but in strike, less agility was needed than in dogfighting. To this day the strike role remains secondary. There are F-16s already in the air force for that purpose.
Several years ago, the ZF-12C began rolling off both Penguisiana and the Zoogie People’s production lines. Nicknamed Penguin, in honor of the great help Penguisiana gave, the ZF-12C boasted features that would make the legendary ZF-12A cower in shame. Advanced look-down shoot-down radar, first-look first kill, and nuclear capability (not that we use it :P) were incorporated along with other extreme advancements in avionics. The FLIR-system improved greatly as well, and a radar warning system, coupled with passive radar and an advanced jamming system, helped pilots avert danger. New to the ZF-12C is a HARM-seeker, to accommodate the ground attack role. The ZF-12C can be fitted with 4 HARM/Sidearm/ALARM missiles as necessary, in the strike accommodation, or any other passive radar ASM, for that matter.
The ZF-12 program has advanced greatly with the recent C version. The ZF-12 is still a versatile fighter, and even more so – but now it is seen as just an effective ground attack aircraft. Technically ground attack is still secondary, but the ZF-12 has evolved from an excellent fighter to a superb fighter/multi-role aircraft to fly alongside of the F-16…rather than just supplement it.
Finally, after many years, the ZF-12C has been unveiled for export. Many maintain the ZF-12C’s time is passed, but this is not true. Featuring more upgrades than ever, the ZF-12C is still an important part to anyone’s air force.
The Zoogie People and Penguisiana are equally selling this aircraft, and profits will be divided equally. Penguisiana is making a venture into submarines, and the Zoogie People has a general military storefront that will gradually get larger and encompass more products.

The Zoogie People's large wing of F-16Cs was indeed aging. However, rather than scrap them, a program was initiated to improve them. With much more advanced radar, IR, and interior systems, the F-16C's we use have become a much more formidable fighter. Through various methods, most notable of them radar-absorption paint, the radar cross section has been reduced. With improved speed, supercruise, agility, and power, the F-16CZ will serve as an even greater asset than before. If you currently have more than 100 F-16Cs, send your F-16s to us and $6 million per F-16 and we will provide you with F-16CZs in return.
MiG-29M/K
http://www.mach3graphics.com/misc%20graphics/jpg/Mig29Maboveclouds.jpg
Description: advanced MiG-29 variant; newest of the MiG-29s with many updates including extension of center of gravity and fly-by-wire. Mainly air superiority with secondary ground attack capabilities. Hardpoints - 8 on the wing and internal cannon.
Specs: Max speed Mach 2.3; maximum takeoff weight 22400kg; internal cannon 30-mm GSh-30-1; two 20,725-lb afterburning RD-33K turbofan engines.
Cost: No orders under 100 accepted; $28 million per; $30 million for naval version.
PRODUCTION RIGHTS NOT SOLD
Russia's MiG-29 was a highly successful fighter (with secondary ground attack capabilities). It was cheap, efficient, and very agile. In the mid-to-late 80's, Miyokan Guervich took the MiG-29, and improved it significantly. Even more agile than before. More advanced systems. More power. More capability - and a carrier version to boot.
Su-35 (formerly Su-27M)
http://www.mach3graphics.com/misc%20graphics/jpg/SU-30M%20on%20tarmac.jpg
Description: Multirole fighter; improvements over Su-30 include moving canard foreplanes, digital rather than analog fly-by-wire system. Close to the Su-37 (I think)

Cost: $34 million (No orders under 100 accepted; to keep price per unit down)
PROD RIGHTS NOT SOLD...
One of the more recent improvements on the successful Su-27 design, the Su-35 (and later, Su-37) was the first to show with moving canard foreplanes. Flying ease and manueverability were enhanced greatly; as were radar systems. While the Su-27 was at first a fighter with only secondary ground attack capabilities, the Su-35 can be more accurately described as multirole. In addition, it is one of the few aircraft that can perform the Cobra stunt.
Gu-13 Mobile SAM System
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/row/bukm1a-s.jpg
Based heavily on the Sa-17, the Gu-13 is a SAM with many improvements - improved active radar, greater speed, greater range, greater maneuverability, and overall a better aircraft killer. In addition, the turntable now holds six missiles instead of four (ignore the picture).
Maximum altitude: 22,000 feet
Range: 2.5 to 40 miles
Pricing: $ 25 million per unit (I think that's how much they cost anyways)
Production rights: $2 billion to NNA members, $5 billion for trusted allies; $777 billion for the general public :P
Zoogie-class hydrofoil missile ship
http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/gallery/images/missiles/harpoon/images/C12-9520-12.jpg
As our nation is located in a series of Isles, it has several vulnerable bays. It calls for the need of a small, agile, fast missile ship that can take on enemy ships, is not expensive, and can also shoot aircraft out of the sky efficiently.
The result is the Zoogie-class hydrofoil. Similar in many aspects to the Russian Sarancha, this ship uses advanced hydrofoil technology to cruise the sea nearly 60 knots - on two 15,000-lb turbines. While much aspects are still unknown to the general public, rumour has it the craft is roughly 290 feet in length, making it smaller than the Sarancha - but not weaker or less agile. If anything, this is better armed and more powerful. Eight anti-ship missiles can be stored on lightweight launchers amidship, if any enemy ship intrudes while the hydrofoil is on patrol. In addition, an naval SAM system is loaded, that can carry 25 SAMs - able to reach aircraft nearly 30 miles away. In addition, there is a rapid-fire anti-aircraft cannon located on the aft. Each of these comes with fire control radar, navigational radar, and a countermeasures unit.
This ship is not the best for open sea warfare between ships. It serves as a useful scout for fleets, however, and can shoot aircraft efficiently. For our purposes, we will use it to mainly patrol our waterways, in bulk. We will also, of course, use small groups of them to scout. In rare cases, perhaps these ships may also be used as an assault - but they alone cannot go up against a full-fledged enemy fleet.
Costs are estimated at $65 million per unit.
Pride of Zoogie: The Zoogie People’s New Attack Submarine
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/nssnlogo.gif
Sohcahtoa – Class Submarine
.: Coming to an ocean near you :.
(No prod rights! Go suck a toe.)
The Sohcahtoa-class new attack submarine is the pride of The Zoogie People’s domestic naval industry. Its goal is to establish battlespace dominance in a variety of roles – from regional and littoral missions to “blue water” open-ocean roles. A stealthy, quiet, cost effective submarine, the Sohcahtoa is truly a next generation submarine.
With advanced VLS technology, the Sohcahtoa can utilize its stealthiness to launch land strikes without being seen. Its state of the art combat system and very flexible armament loads makes it one of the best anti-sub/ship warfare machines in the water.
Typical of Zoogie standards, it includes the best avionics of any submarine ever tested before. Advanced electronic sonars and communication equipment help it support a battle group very effectively. A wide array of censors collect intelligence and locate enemy targets, such as C&C, radar sites, and missile batteries, and can efficiently track ship movements and monitor communications. All this data can then be sent to the rest of the battle group.
The Sohcahtoa is also capable of secretly infiltrating enemy waters and laying down mines to disrupt enemy shipping. It can get out before being seen. It is also useful for sabotage, reconnaissance, S&R, diversionary attacks, and direction of fire support and strikes.
This paragraph is the stats paragraph. The Sohcahtoa is 380 feet in length, with a 35 foot beam and nearly 8,000-lbs of displacement. With submerged speeds nearing or exceeding 30 knots, it is one of the faster submarines operating. It can also submerge itself to over 1100 feet, with 1300 being its structural limits. Different from most previous submarines, it can also carry unmanned underwater vehicles.
The armament is flexible. With four 21” inch torpedo tubes and fourteen Vertical Launch Systems, the Sohcahtoa class is able to deliver deadly torpedoes and Tomahawk cruise missiles. Torpedoes such as the Mark 48 will be used to destroy other submarines and ships. Advanced moving mines will be used to lay mines across enemy shipping paths. Unmanned Undersea Vehicles can also be used as necessary. What is so unique about the Sohcahtoa is that it can be upgraded extensively in its lifetime.
The Zoogie People currently sells the Sohcahtoa at $2 billion. Between Zoogie People and Chinese Army, there are already 380 submarines ordered. (280-100) With public export available, the Sohcahtoa is bound to be blowing up ships in an ocean near you soon.
The Zoogie People has a nuclear attack submarine? Oh really? Wher—aaargh!!
Notes: Like a Virginia, but better.

Mark 99 'Sweetheart'
http://www.3d-modelmother.com/images/Snake-i.jpg
Appeareance: Think Mark 82HD. Multiply by 15.
Weight: 7,500-lbs
Description: Known as the ‘Mother of All Bombs’ among air force pilots, this bomb is much more effective than the actual Mother of All Bombs the US tested in March 2003. Lighter, yet still very strong. The inside of the bomb is packed full of high-quality, high-power explosive material that would give it over twice the impact of a similar weight Mark 84. Utilizes the 82-HD ‘Snake-eye’s’ unique tail – (similar to it, at least) – for additional guidance towards the target, the ‘dumb bomb’ can effectively clear masses of enemies, penetrate bunkers, uproot towers, melt planes, and, more or less, tear human beings into tiny bits. Thus it has been affectionately given the name ‘sweetheart,’ and been variably called ‘baby’ and ‘cutie pie.’
GBU-X ‘JDAM-heart (‘Mother of all bombs’)
Appearance: Think JDAM-Mark 83 with the HD tail extension. Multiply by 15.
Weight: 7,500-lbs
Description: A huge bomb, as described above, except with the JDAM guidance system inserted. A bunch of storage bunkers you need to penetrate? No problem! Just drop one of these on top, and it’ll hit and destroy, guaranteed, double your money back. Might destroy your plane, too, if you’re not careful. Truly the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch of Modern Times. ‘…First shalt thou select the enemy. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more, no less – three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shall thou count to two, excepting that thou then proceedest to three. Five, is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, a red circle that says ‘shoot’ shall appeareth on thy HUD, and thou shall press the trigger, and fly upwards – and the target, being naughty in my sight, shall sneeze itself to smitherins. Amen.’ What happens if you don’t fly upwards? You will be deprived of the right of watching your enemy explode; rather, you will be preoccupied with finding the eject trigger, before, in all likeliness, kicking the bucket. So step right up, buy your J-heart today! Buy one, buy two, or better yet, buy five! (Three, sir!) No, you silly cod, five is better than three, we’ll make more money….the J stands for JDAM, by the way.
Seeking to develop an alternative to the US 'Mother of All Bombs,' The Zoogie People has developed a smaller one, yet still packed with over 7,000 lbs of high explosive power. Strategically placed, an aircraft can pretty much wipe out an entire airbase (pending size) using one or two of these, or less for smaller airbases. Be careful when using and flying too low. In addition, an aircraft has been developed specifically to carry this; although it turned out to have many other uses as well.
Prices
I'm not sure about these, so TM me if you see a mistake.
$82,000 for one Mark 99. $100,000 for one GBU-X.
Sohcahtoan Class NSSN
:arrow: coming attraction :arrow:
Sohcahtoan-class NSSN
----------------------------------------
Powered by a S9G reactor similar to the one used in the Virginia, the new submarine will become the first major naval craft project of The Zoogie People. Manufactured by Anthon, Inc. Like the Virginia class, the to-be-named Sohcahtoan Class Attack Submarine will be stealth, multirole, and nuclear powered. It operates well both deep ocean and shallow sea. It is effective against both other submarines and naval vessels.
The Sohcahtoan Class will be coming soon to an ocean near you.
Any R&D funds will be appreciated, though we can manage ourselves. Funding for production will be appreciated...$3 billions in funds will grant you production rights when this roles out in oceans near you...

This preview has been authorized for general audiences. The object previewed is rated Nations 13 days old and over.
The Ring-Bearer
In a project known only to the public as one of the pilot's pet names for it, this mysterious aircraft is rumoured to be developed as a result of the recent GBU-X and Mark 99 Programs. Said to be able to carry a signle GBU-X under the centerline, and with rumoured wing pylons, the aircraft incorporates advanced avionics, low-observability, and anti-radar to maintain an amazing stealth level. While no formal name has yet been identified, rumours are that this 'black project' from Symworks Studios of Zoogie Aerospace, has already gone into mass production. The latest reports indicate that as many as three hundred have already been delivered to the Air Force, a stunning number in such as short space of time.
This preview is for general audiences.
.: Coming Soon :.
Project: Falcon
A historic joint development endeavor between Kazakhstania and Zoogiedom, Project: Falcon is rumoured to be another of Zoogie Aerospace's black projects. The only details yet available are that it is going to be one of the most advanced projects ever entered into by either of the two nations, and that it will be fast, capable, maneuverable, and feature a new anti-radar system.
This feature has been rated for nations thirteen days and over.
ZF-27
Another project by The Zoogie People's most prominent aerospace company, with much funding received from Penguisiana, the ZF-27 is The Zoogie People's entry into 5th-generation air superiority fighters (The ZF-24 and ZF-26 projects were both multirole programs for the 5th generation). With large inner bays, two engines, and a full stealth design, not only does the ZF-27 incorporate newer technology to allow for even more methods of low observability, it incorporates the latest avionics and advanced next-generation maneuverability. As the materials needed are nothing short in supply in Zoogiedom, and the Air Force requires over a thousand of them, including the two-seat combat capable trainer version, the aircraft will be much cheaper to produce relative to the F-22, yet much more maneuverable and capable.
Discounts: 5% for allies, IUSS, Protectorate Service, NNA and NNA Regional Ryders members, cumulative.
Bulk Discounts: 5% on orders over 25 billion, 10% on orders over $50 billion, and 15% on orders over $100 billion.
Notes: All contracts listed are domestic contracts. Domestic price tags listed indicate price of production if you have production rights and make them yourself. Security checks will be performed for large orders from small nations, or absurdly large orders.
Profits: Storefronts return minimal profits. So minimal, in fact, that they will be spent exclusively for R&D and other domestic buys.
Happy shopping. :)
For aircraft with two versions, or more, please specify which version. Too often they cost different and people don't specify which one :)
If you are an ally or part of a group I'm in (NNA/IUSS), say so or I probably won't know. Especially for the latter.
