Naori's economy is shattered after a Civil War that has left the country in Flames. More than half of Naori's land is now under control of Southern Naori's communist dictatorship, while nearly allthe prime fishing waters are taken by the Galdanian-puppet government.

After Naori's world war 2 era tanks and planes were annihilated by Galdania's modern armor and airforce, the Empire is looking for MODERN and AFFORDABLE planes and tanks to defend against a possible attack bt the South.

With most of our economy now consiosting of rice farming and lumber exports, we need planes that are cheap, but can go head-to-head with Galdania's Jackal fighters. Any takers?

Kazakhstania has lately begun development of several ground vehicles, including the successful M-12, an MBT with Crookfur and this latest project. It may not seem up to date, but it is very.

In actual fact, the M-15 is just a very updated T-54 with a different turret. But inside it is a very different beast. We hope you 3rd world countries like it, and some older nations using it as cheap cannon fodder may too. It is Para droppable, so it can be used in Quick Reaction Forces.

Design

Designed to be a replacement for the T-55 and even T-72, the M-15 should be used in either a supporting role with Main Battle Tanks like the M1A2, in a quick reaction force or as a defensive tank in operations. If used properly, this cheap light tank could be very effective.

Compared to the T-55 on the outside it is very similar. Fitted as standard with Explosive Reaction Armour, it looks modern and fairly sophisticated, and its well-designed body and curves allow for most hits to be survived. Its armour is made of Titanium Carbonate, with pigments of Diamond, fibreglass and Cobalt. This means if rounds were not deflected they would be stopped.

Its track design allows for economic motion and traction, with rear facing grooves such as on your trainers. Traction in bad weather or muddy ground can be achieved and movement and acceleration are good, for better economy and speed.

The turret has been slightly angled at the front for better deflection odds, and it is shaped at the back for easy movement. A large space for the larger cannon has been made, for easy targeting and movement. It is slightly larger than the old T-54, to accommodate the new electronic systems.

Systems

This tank would be nothing new without electronic systems. And plenty are installed. Knowing we are pretty good computers and electronics, we set about making new things for this tank, and they are detailed here.

First, we installed our JTIDS (Joint Tactical Information Distribution System) in the tank. This allows the spreading of friendly unit positions, the latest Intel, maps and area scoping. Information can be given to any tank quickly and efficiently, and presented on the screens in the tank.

The onboard computers run various functions. They run the engine control, and limit the flow of energy through the engine. The Hydrogen is monitored here as well. The waste waster that is given is then circulated to the hottest areas of the engine, for cooling.

There are two 360-degree cameras on the tank as well as the conventional periscope. These allow all areas to be viewed by the Gunner and Commander. The Driver has one forward 360 degrees camera and a rear facing side scope. All these views are accessed via the screen sin each members compartments.

The weapons system is completely computerised. It will make adjustments on the cannon depending on wind direction, tank speed and target speed, pending where the gunner is pointing. It can also auto aim on Heat Sources targeted by the gunner. This allows engine, turret and frontal hits, with great accuracy due to the high-speed processor provided by the supercomputer.

Modern systems are included as well. The tank is updated with Night Vision and Thermal Imagers, Laser Rangefinders, GPS maps and tread power adjusters for very good movement. This is a very up date tank in an old frame.

The latest laser point defense weapon has been added onto the turret. It is again computerised, and uses its own sensors. It can proect the tank against harmful heavy missiles.

Weaponry

This tank would be nothing without a large cannon. It would not be able to combat MBT’s, or even penetrate their armour. A larger cannon than 105mm was needed, but the size and design of the tank provided a challenge. A new weapon was need, more powerful than the last.

So, we enlarged the turret for an 120mm gun. But this still left a lot to be desired. So, we decided to install an 120mm Electro Thermal Chemical Cannon. This allows the power of an 130mm cannon in smaller space. It is also reliable and powerful. Most modern tanks are armed with one, and it is the same here.

The secondary weapon on this tank is its Kornet ATGM’s. There are two mounts on either side of the turret, where an ATGM pod can be fixed. These allow 4 Kornet ATGM’s to be loaded in each. Also, an amazing new feature has been installed. Inside the tank, there are 4 tubes on each side of the turret, for Kornet ATGM’s. Each has a door that is opened for firing and reloading. This allows 16 ATGM’s to be carried.

As side armaments, a 20mm Rapid Fire grenade launcher is coaxially mounted next to the cannon, and a mounted .50 cal machine gun is over the commander’s periscope, for anti helicopter use. This combo is great for anti infantry and helicopter. This tank is overall well armed and operated.

We will check our warehouses. [/code:1:acfbb44a12]

We'll take 30 M-15's.

You won't take anything until I can scrape some vehicles off my list, and still balance my divisions

Order Confirmed.

Those babies are somewhat better than a lot of MBT's :D

I was talking about Khazakstania's stuff.

Argyres wonders if perhaps it would be wiser to rebuild your country before attempting to rearm?

we have about 40 t-55's left over fro our "younger" days, we give you them as a gift

The Kingdom Of Crookfur, following a review of military equipment levels, can announce that if you so desire we can make 300 Challenger 2 (2nd hand and well used but totally refurbished) and M1A1 (pristine condition) tanks and large quantities of Grippen (600 used, but totally refurbished, have had life extension work and have about 80% of thier flying hours left) and F16C fighters available(upto 3000 all in pristine factory condition, upgrades can be carried out on request).

We are open to all reasonable offers.

Perhaps it would have been wiser to seize the whole country...

Empress of Naori, we warn you that if you use any of these weapons in an attack on SOuthern Naori or Galdania's other allies, you government will not be allowed to survive.
---
SECRET TRANSMISION TO ALL THOSE SELLING ANAORI MILITARY EQUIPMENT:
Galdania will purchase all equipment that Naori would buy, and pay 15% more on all items, so long as you do not sell to Naori in the future.

Why would you support the Empress of Naori after she killed 50,000 innocent Naorians who opposed her 'monarchy' (really just a dictatorship), invaded Genya for no reason other than territorial gain, and killed peaceful democratic protesters?

Naori no doubt plans to invade the SOuth, or possibly launch further attacks on the democratic Genyan government (we are democratic as well. Our political and civil freedoms are FAR higher than Northern Naori's).
