Introducing – The Worlds finest modular Armed Troop-Transport/Heavy Gunship

AN-X01 – Developmental program from oTaku industries

A Product of the Democratic States of Raptorrat and the Incorporated States of Bra-Q military development industry, as a response to the development of the KN-12 Jet Cargo/Passenger Aircraft

“You know our motto, we deliver”

Structural Design and main features

This aircraft is based upon the fuselage of the Atonov 225, after several months of design and testing weve been able to construct, test and put into use this heavily modified aircraft.

The main demand by the military was that it had to be modular, and suited for troop and heavy equipment transport, and if need be deliver heavy close air support for invasion forces.

This has been acomplished by modifying the outer hull with removable plates, which allows for easy swapping of equipment. The Antonovs massive cargo bay has been retrofitted so that it can accomodate several modules including,

• Heavy weapons, including 30 mm gatling cannons(and their respective Target aquisition equipment)
• Modular Troop seating and equipment racks
• Storage containers for hand weapons and supplies
• Tank and Armored vehicle transport equipment
• ECM and communication equipment
• Cruise missile launch pylons
• Payload door for delivering heavy ordinance like a Fuel Air Bomb

But the modifications dont stop with the cargo bay alone, its massive 6 Turbo fan engines have been upgraded from their stock configurations to deliver a massive 300 kN of thrust each.

This was done, so that in event of a in-combat engine loss, we could sustain the loss of multiple engines and still be airborne. This, is of paramount importance to a aircraft as important as our AN-X01

Also, the wings have been structurally upgraded the handle the additional power of the engines, and to accomodate the Cruise missile launch pylons.

Pre-loaded equipment options

The payload of the aircraft is totally up the customer, but if requested we can pre-outfit the aircraft with the following modules,

• Twin General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger 30 mm seven-barrel cannons in a modular servo controlled gun pod with full Tracking equipment and Auto-loader assembly with 15,000 Depleted Uranium Rounds. Fire controll systems are fully automated and developed by a Raptorat Company specialized in Computer War simulations
• “Vanisher MK-II” Radar and Communication Jammer equipment module with command and controll pod with seating for two operators.
• Tomahawk Cruise missile fire controll module, with command and targeting module equiped for 3 operators. And launch Pylons preassembled, and outfitted to the wings
• Seating modules with equipment racks for 45 Soldiers with slot based locking module for 1 or 2 light armored vehicles.

This ofcourse, is only an example. We can preload the AN-X01 with any configuration you like, but for the less demanding customer we offer the following packages, with relevant training personell available on a per hour basis


Electronic Warfare Mode

• ECM and communication interception/jamming suite

< Bump >

During the development of the aircraft it was found that the engines exhaust thrust was enough to knock over buildings. Since then civilian contractors experienced a boom in airport construction contracts

Bump

It was found during live fire tests that the 30 MM cannons were literally able to destroy virtually anything.. including(accidentally) the presidential estate.

Eh? i take it you didn't see any of the footage of A10s straffing biuldings in baghdad? not many of the biuldings took terribly much damage, 30x173mm rounds are useful agaisnt tnaks at close to medium rnage but pretty useless agaisnt biuldings, thats what your 105mm gun is for (personally on such a big aircraft you could could liekly get away with a 155mm gun...)

Actually, i did see the footage.. but for the sake of argument.. lets asume that you have four 30 MM cannons, each firing thousands of rounds of Depleted uranium per minute at a structure. What do you think wil happen, sure.. the building probably will survive.. but most of the things inside.. and around it will be transformed into goo. Besides, its partially psychological warfare.. seeing your HQ being strafed with 4000 Rounds a minute should put a few stains in your pants

KN-12? Thats my aircraft.....

Well, mine has more purposes, is generally more economic, faster and can launch ICBM's. Also, ther eis a version with 195mm guns. Hell, its generally mroe advanced.

More purposes? that ofcourse depends on what the customer wants, our version is more suited to combat operations in my opinion. Ofcourse, in the end its an opinion.

More economic? the Antonov is laughable when it comes to fuel efficiency. But it makes up for it with a large gas tank.

Faster? well yeah, ours is required to hover over a battlefield to hammer the enemy into dust.. so faster isnt better perse, but it depends on what you need. And ours can probably launch ICBM's too, if we modified our launch pylons.

And further specificiations for weapons systems(including several high caliber weapons into the 255 MM range) are available for those interested.

Due to our modular design, this airframe can be transformed in to another role, under 5 hours.

So basicly,m You'd only need to purschase the airframe, and several modules to your taste, The need for a large fleet of these is not needed.

Also We had discussed the need for ICBM capabiliy's, and deemed it unnescesary. While the launch of ICBM's in the air is slightly more effecient, It'll also make the aircraft vunarable while on the ground, a prime target for the enemy. The missiles are just as usefull when launched from another platform like a missile silo.

Another reason we decided against it, is the fact that AN-X01 is capable of delivering Tomahawk Cruise missiles, wich are also capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. While theire range is more limited, it would make them more usefull when launched from an aircraft.


But to Promote sales, We will issue, at no extra cost, a pine-scneted airfreshenner, For every craft, when ordering 50 or more.

Also standart included is a maintenance packet, and the first 3 Avionics upgrades for free.

Please could we order the following aircraft:
80 Troop and vehicle transport mode

Total= $128 Million

*wired*

Thanks,
IN

The Incorporated states of Bra-Q thank you for your purchase.

"Thank you, come again"

Today the Republic of Raptorrat decided to order another number of aircraft.

30 airframes (1 mln a piece, We helped develop the thing) $30 mln

10 CAS modules (2.2 mln) $22 mln

5 EW Modules (2 mln/P Same as the airframe) $10 mln

15 Transport modules (1.6 mln) $24 mln

total $86 mln


This will be transferred upon conformation and recieving of the first 10 airframes.



(Hey, if you bump a topic, might aswell post descently. :D )

"Kaching" The aircraft will be deliverd ASAP, with a complimentary set of 25 Command vehicles

GODMODE ALERT!!! YOU ARE BEING IGNORED, IF A NATION BUYS ANY OF THIS EQUIPMENT AND USES IT IN A WAR THAT IM IN THELL BE IGNORED!!!
END POST!

its kerching, not kaching(i think)
And also you are not, i repeat, you ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH A NATION TO BUILD THESE, Unless you, like me, have outside support, if so youd better have proff! Or its still godmoding just as bad, we want facts not lies!

If you had read the information sheet of the craft, you'll see that ist was manufactured by The incorporated states of BraQ and the former Democratic states of Raptorrat.

Perhaps if you didn't double post, and use caps. I might take you more serious.

(Considder all diplomatic ties broken.)
