OOC: For those of you who don't know, Chinese Army is a puppet gained by Zoogie when a friend left. Quite handy, really, with its large population. I managed to get it up to frightening economy from Powerhouse soon enough, and have decided it's high time to offer some developed products for sale. Excuse me as I'm not great on ship statistics; I have gathered much information from this site: http://www.kitsune.addr.com

F/A-26 Advanced Next-Gen Multi-Role Stealth Fighter
http://upl.mine.nu/uplfolders/upload7/jxx.jpg
After years of development, Chinese Army has finally released its J-XX project to the world. An advanced, highly maneuverable 5th generation multirole fighter, the F/A-26 takes advantage of shape, anti-radar, special engines, and internal bays to maintain a highly low RCS. However, its internal bays are limited in size, capable of carrying only four AIM-120C AMRAAM missiles in the center bays (or two GBU-32 JDAM precision munitions) and two AIM-9x missiles on the side bays. Therefore, in many cases, at the expense of some stealth (though anti-radar keeps most of it), wing and wingtip pylons are mounted. Usually four anti-ship missiles or AGM-65 Mavericks are hung underwing, while AIM-9X missiles are placed on the wingtip. Two powerful engines with extremely capable 3D thrust vectoring (automated) allow for an additional maneuverability improvement. Many computer systems leave the pilot free to concentrate on maneuvering his aircraft ? in close combat mode, he needn?t squeeze the trigger for bullets to be fired from his twin cannons. With advanced avionics and excellent guidance systems, as well as an information-relay channel, this fast aircraft will serve as Chinese Army?s primary fighter and strike aircraft. A combat-capable two-seat trainer (F/A-26B) has been ordered as well, which also doubles as a more than effective reconnaissance aircraft. When stripped of its reconnaissance equipment, it best serves as a trainer which can carry more weapons in the inner bays. An advanced STOVL version allows for extremely short take-offs and landings, even on full weight, which uses much more thrust vectoring (manual and automated) for use on amphibious assault ships. This aircraft is smaller, and can carry only one pilon on each wing (wingtip aside), but in most cases can carry bundles of weapons (such as two anti-ship missiles per pylon) so as to simulate two pilons. The small size is due to the fact that it needs to fit on smaller amphibious assault ships. Finally, a naval version (F/A-26C) has been developed for the Chinese Navy. With an enlargened wing, the naval version is capable of even more thrust and fuel.

F -27 Next-Gen Multi-Role Fighter
http://www.aeronautics.ru/img/img004/lfs_001.jpg
Needing a much cheaper variant of the F/A-26 to be mass-produced (yes, even more mass produced) and to serve as an entirely different type of multirole fighter, design initiated on the F-27. The idea was that this fighter would boast extreme maneuverability, low-RCS, and be a light, cheap fighter able to carry a fair amount of missiles externally while using speed and anti-radar to allude enemies. The fighter would be excellent in one role at a time ? that is, the multi-role fighter could be an excellent interceptor and an excellent air base assaulter, but not at the same time in the same aircraft. The result was a lightweight aircraft able to carry a wide range of weapons, and with low observability so as to be able to be deployed in large numbers doing different roles. Tests conducted show excellent air combat, anti-ship and submarine strike, air base assault, deep infiltration, and suppression of enemy air defenses. And at a price in the 30 millions range, with both air, naval, and marine versions, this flexible fighter will serve in great numbers alongside the F/A-26 in our air force. Naval variants, trainers, and a lift-fan STOVL design have also been developed.

Ponibimini-class Cruiser
A nuclear-powered cruiser, the Ponibimini-class is China?s first entry into a large warship. Several VLS launchers are used to give the cruiser more advanced and effective missile delivery systems, while phase-array radar helps pinpoint targets. Two 160mm gun turrets are, as seen, on either end of the vessel, and a wide array of VLS and missile/torpedo launchers are fitted on the aft and sides. Four VLS systems are located on the ship, as well as torpedo launchers for anti-submarine and ship warfare. Two of these, one on each side, are for anti-aircraft purposes. Three missile defense launchers are also fitted on the ship, as well a helicopter hanger for up to four aircraft or two VTOL/ASTOVL aircraft (only one can launch at a time) and also fitted are two chaff launchers. A versatile vessel capable of launching the next-generation stealth JSF F-35 aircraft, and provide effective missile attack/defense capabilities, the Ponibimini-class is used widely in service in the Chinese navy today. $1.4 billion ? 40 vessels have been ordered by The Zoogie People and 120 by Chinese Army over the next ten years.

Light Aircraft Carrier
http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Rifts/Rifts-Earth-Vehicles/Canadian_Magnificent_Light_Aircraft_Carrier-small.gif
A light aircraft carrier with three missile defense systems, two VLS systems, and two each of anti-ship and anti-air missile systems. Anti-aircraft guns also are scattered across the flight deck. A much larger carrier than standard light carriers, this can carry roughly fifty aircraft. ASTOVL aircraft are mostly suited to this role. Primary configuration: 20 F-35B, 18 F-26B, 8 S-7, 4 E-12, 10 F/A-18E/F, 10 F/A-27C.
$2.6 billion ? 25 are in use by The Zoogie People and 50 by Chinese Army; with a further 20 ordered by each.
Infiltration LAV-22 Crab Stealth Vehicle
http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Rifts/Rifts-Earth-Vehicles/IA_LAV-400_Renegade_Scout.gif
A very fast scout vehicle intended for infiltration or just?well?scouting, the Crab, as it has been informally nicknamed, is one of the most useful vehicles in the service of the Zoogie People and Chinese Army. With signs of the future showing in all sorts of places, the armoured vehicle boasts speeds of up to 50mph on all terrains, thanks to its wheeled, rather than tracked, system. A 360-degree around, 85 degree up mobile turret on the top combines a very rapid-fire machine gun to destroy infantry, and a grenade launcher. Can destroy other vehicles, but can angle high enough to have use against aircraft. Several hundred grenades are storeable in this grenade launcher, and both guns in the main turret have a range of roughly 3 miles. On either side of the vehicle, on the wheel, are smoke grenade launchers (12 in each), useful for clearing mobs. Tear gas may also be used in these grenades. In addition, an optional heavy machine gun can be mounted to the very top, where a person can manually command it by operating out of the top of the vehicle. Twin missile launchers can carry a variety of missile types. They are detachable. AGM-114K Hellfire missiles can be loaded, 6 on each side, or twenty total AT-2 ?Swatter? missiles. In addition, a missile that is similar to that of a slightly enlarged LAU-10 rocket can be used; roughly sixty of these can be fitted total and can be used in volleys of 2, 6, or 10. Price ? 1 million. Roughly 25,000 have been ordered by The Zoogie People and 176,000 by Chinese Army.
If you are in the NNA or IUSS or LoD, a 5% deduction will be taken off all purchases. Please specify, though :P or I won't know you're in the IUSS/LoD.
