The Grand Duchy of Trabay is currently rebuilding its army and we would like to recieve bids on contracts for completely equipping new Mechanized, Cavalry (armored) and Infantry Divisions.

Yours,
Ken Follet,
Secretary of Defence

I offer my Colt M4A1's and Steyr AUG's for the Infantry. The M4 costs $3750 each, while the Steyr costs $4000 each.

We were thinking more on the lines of military packages. What we're looking for is one manufacturer to supply all or most of the equipment and material for a division. If this option is not availible we will consider buying from different manufacturers.

What kind of equipment are the armed forces of the Grand Duchy of Trabay exactly looking for? State of the art, cheaper but still up-to-date or older, used equipment?

For state-of-the-art needs the defence industries of Nordea would offer the following setup for the mechanized troops:

Light Tank / Tank Destroyer: CV90 with 120mm smoothbore tank gun á €2.5m [info (http://members.surfeu.fi/stefan.allen/cv90120.html)]
Tracked IFV: CV90 with 40mm autocannon á €2.0m [info (http://members.surfeu.fi/stefan.allen/strf9040.html)]
Wheeled APC: AMV 8x8 with 25mm autocannon and ATGMs á €1.6m [info (http://members.surfeu.fi/stefan.allen/amv8x8.html)]
Mobile Fire Support: AMOS twin-barreled 120mm mortar system á €9.0m (CV90 chassis) or €7.0m (AMV 8x8 chassis) [info (http://members.surfeu.fi/stefan.allen/AMOS.html)]
Mobile Air Defence: CV90 with 40mm anti-air autocannon and radar á €2.4m [info (http://members.surfeu.fi/stefan.allen/lvkv90.html)]
Assault Rifle: RK-95 (7.62mm) á €1000 [info (http://hem.passagen.se/finnisharmyequipment/smallarms/rk95/index.html)]

We are interested in placing a bid to fulfill the Grand Duchy's rearming. But we are curious: how many divisions are to be armed? How many men does the Grand Duchy maintain to a division? And how much is the Grand Duchy willing to spend on its rearmament?

Here's a rough overview of what we can provide. Once we know the exact numbers, a proper bid can be formulated and submitted for the Grand Duchy's perusal.

Tanks: Juumanistra mainly employs two tanks, the Sentinel and the Orion.

JT-14 Sentinel
Crew: 4 + 6
Combat Weight: 61,554 kg
Speed: 75 km/h(road), 67 km/h(off-road)
Range: 515 km
Armament: 1x120mm cannon, 1x12.7mm machine gun 2x7.62mm machine guns, 1xTwin-tube TRIGAT-IR ATGM
Ammunition: 48x120mm, 1000x12.7mm, 4500x7.62mm, 8xTRIGAT-IR
Armor: 950mm/1750mm
The Juumanistran derivative of the Merkava IV, the JT-14 provides a powerful and reliable platform that has been the mainstay of the Juumanistran Army for the better part of a decade. A more powerful 1600hp Khevron Motors power plant replaces the conventional Merkava’s, providing an addition 15 km/h on the open road. A pair of TANGET-IR anti-tank missile launchers have been added over the Merkava’s 60mm mortar to increase the tank’s lethality on the rolling plains of southern Juumanistra. Like all Merkava derivatives, the JT-14 boasts the capability to carry 6 passengers, command staff, or extra ammunition.
Cost: $4,600,000 USD

JT-22 Orion MBT
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 63,156 kg
Speed: 85 km/h
Range: 750 km
Armament: 1x125mm cannon, 1x12.7mm machine gun, 2x 7.62 machine guns, 2xTwin-tube TRIGAT-IR ATGM launchers
Ammunition: 45x125mm, 1600x12.7mm, 6000x7.62mm, 16xTRIGAT-IR
Armor: 1050mm/1975mm
The JT-22 represents Juumanistra’s first truly original tank. A cooperative effort between the Ministry of Defense, Khevron Motors, and TamBaan Enterprises, the JT-22 provides a fast, durable, and state-of-the-art tank capable of operating in virtually any environment against virtually any foe. The Khevron and TamBaan engine, a 2200hp wonder, manages to be both small(being not much larger than the engine of the JT-14) and efficient, giving the JT-22 excellent range and all-terrain speed in addition to the powerful armaments taken from the JT-14 along with .
Cost: $5,600,000 USD

Our defense contractors also have maintained a brisk business retrofitting and exporting the JT-5 and JT-7 tanks, the Juumanistran production models of the T-55 and T-72. Should the Grand Duchy be looking for retrofit older units or used units, we can produce massive numbers of both of those types of tank. Statistics will be made available should they be requested.

Infantry Fighting Vehicles: Due to our use of the JT-14, we do not maintain many IFVs. We have a small contingent of Mist Lynx IFVs that are primarily reserve units and a license to produce them, however, and would be willing to discuss increasing our production capacity to meet an order from the Grand Duchy.

Anti-Air Defenses: We primarily employ two systems, the Avenger and CLAWS HUMRAAM. Both of these are mobile Humvee mounted systems that stress mobility and deployability. Datson Electronics has also produced a portable radar assembly small enough to fit into most existing CLAWS systems; this is, for lack of a better name, CLAWS Plus.
Avenger: $545,000 per unit[10 km/range]
CLAWS: $580,00 per unit[20 km/range]
CLAWS Plus: $1,150,00 per unit[50 km/range]

Artillery: The main field pieces of the Juumanistran Army are G5 and M119A1 towed howitzers.
G5: $580,000 per unit
M119A1: $240,000 per unit

Wheeled Vehicles: We are capable of supplying nearly all of your wheeled vehicle needs, at least in regards to supply trucks and Humvees. Prices per unit at this stage in the game would be too tedious to discuss given the volume of vehicles that would be needed.

Small Arms: We are capable of supplying the Grand Duchy of Trabay with as many assault rifles as it may need. The Juumanistran Armed Forces main rifle is the H&K G36E, although the Galil is still in use by some of forces in the Army. Meaning e could easily facilitate any request for Kalashnikov variants should that be the Grand Duchy’s preference over the H&K G36E.

Thank you Juumanistra. Good questions all round.

-The number of divisions to be armed is between 25 and 50 (depending on prices and quality of equipment).
-We are willing to spend approx. 50 billion dollars (five years spread) on this contract.
-The number of soldiers in our divisions vary between the different types of divisions. An infantry division would normaly include between 4000 and 5000 men, a mechanized between 1500 and 3000 men and 150-300 armored veichles (Mainly Tanks, APCs and IFVs) and a cavalry (panzer) between 1000 and 2000 men and 150-300 armored veichles (Mainly Tanks).
-The HK G36E is a perfectly acceptable choice of main rifle for our troops, given that the newest units in our army are currently equipped with the HK G36K.
-Modern units would be preferred.

Trabay is adopting a highly mobile defensive structure. It is desirable that this be taken into account in the upcoming offer.

We're eagerly avaiting you bid.

Yours,
Ken Follet, His Grace The Arch Duke's Minister of Defence

Infantry Division: The Dominion of Juumanistra offers the divisional commander maximum flexibility and responsiveness. In addition to standard issues of assault rifles and pistols, we can facilitate the standard issue of the LandWarrior System, which literally integrates the average soldier into the digital battlefield. We also fully facilitate the squad with two SAWs and combat-shotguns per squad, with anti-air and anti-tank misisles at the platoon level. We include the M224 and M119A1 towed artillery piece to round out the division's offensive capabilities. 30 Avenger and CLAWS Plus systems provide the division with aerial cover. And, of course, we have included the supply train to keep the division stocked up on ammunition and food.

Mechanized Division: The mechanized division provides personal weapon distribution along the same lines as the infantry division. And the supply train remains the same. The backbone is the Juumanistran created JT-14 Sentinel's Export model, a thoroughly capable tank that boasts the capability to house 6 fully-armed troops. It's supplemented by the Mist Lynx IFV and its Linebacker variant to cover aerial threats. CLAWS Plus units are added as well for longer-range air-defense. Heavier, more powerful 155mm G5 towed artillery pieces replace the lighter and more mobile M119A1.

CLAWS Plus systems finish out the air-defense net. And lastly, the M109A6 Paladin self-propelled artillery piece provides the heavy firepower for the division.

Of course, all of this is negotiatable. In particular are things like the SPAS 12; to be quite frank, we do not know if it's in your interests to outfit them. We just wanted to ensure diversity of arms. The same applies to the air-defense and logistical components. If you desire them removed, it can be arranged and the price retabulated.
