The ambassador for the Principality of Oshima & Izu has issued the following note, in effect from 1700 (GMT) 22 Feb 2004:

The OSDF wishes to acquire artillery and IFVs. Second-hand or surplus equipment (at appropriate discount) especially welcom, as funds are tight.

Greetings from the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF)

After recieving your request for military equipment, the ROCAF has decided to sell two squadrons (24) of F-16T Strike Fighters. The aircraft are still in good condition, with an average of 1,500 hours flying time on each of them.

The ROCAF has valued the aircraft at $300m total.

OOC: Specs:

Image (http://www.voodoo.cz/falcon/old/f16147.jpg)

The F-16T is a multi-role fighter that is very capable at both air superiority and ground attack roles. It's avionics have been improved, allowing the F-16T to attack effectively beyond visual range. During development, major efforts were sought to keep down the cost of the final product. The F-16XL airframe was selected based on maneuverability and its low cost. A delta wing is used to reduce drag at supersonic levels. The F-16T uses the TN-2 turbofan which gives the F-16T a cruising speed of Mach 1.3. 3-D Thrust-vectoring allows the F-16T to achieve very tight turns, resulting in dogfighting capabilities similar to that of the Su-37. The standard radar on the F-16T is the Sky Matrix system Version One with a range of 80km. There is also a rear facing radar which has a range of 50km. Avionics are compatible to the Eurofighter's.

Function: Multirole fighter
Length: 54.2 ft (16.52 m)
Wingspan: 34.3 ft (10.45 m)
Max Weight : 50,000lbs
Speed: Mach 1.3 Cruise - Mach 1.8 Max
Combat radius: 700nm
Armaments:
Air Superiority - 10 BVRAAMs, 2 ASRAAMs
Strike - 4 1,000lb JDAMs, 2 BVRAAMs

To the Republic of China Air Force

Having consulted the department of defence procurement and ascertained that the recent grant of funds for military expanion are likely sufficient, I am delighted to accept your offer on behalf of the OASDF.

The $300 million transaction has been authorised by the government, and we would be interested in taking delivery of the aircraft without delay.

On behalf of the OSDF, I hope this is the start of good relations between the defence forces of our freedom-loving nations.

Following confirmation of the order, the two squadrons of F-16T has left port on the ROCN transport ship Yangtze.

The Republic of China is also interested in extending ties with Oshima and Izu.

this is the nation of huward yes it's a weird name for a nation but if you need more supplies. we have your supplies. :)

We have, havnign heard of your asking for surplus military gear, decided to sell:

F-42C Air Superiority Fighter

http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/f22/f22-natf.jpg

Design

Designed to be an advanced front line fighter, the F-42 is meant to be first in and first out of a battlefield. Air Superiority is something to have in the modern days of war, and means a lot to a battle. If the skies are clear, aerial transports can arrive and bring supplies and fighter bombers can roam the air without the risk of being shot down.

Gaining air superiority is hard, and often involves having the largest number of aircraft in the area. But it has been proved in the latest years that numbers are not the msot important thing. Stealth and superior aircraft are often as important as numbers, and a number of half decent aircraft with a good arsenal can rule the skies.

Bearing this in mind, we designed this fighter to be maneuverable, fast and sleek. This is significant, meaning an airfield does not have to be near for aircraft to be over the combat zone.

Swing wings have also been involved for added speed, so airflow and wing hinderance are not involved at high speeds. 2D thrust vectoring has been used, meaning added low speed maneuverability. We think this combo is ruling in fighter capability.

The swing wings hinder stealth slightly, but the smooth curves and shape mean it still has the stealth as say, a F-35 JSF. We are proud of the design, and may use it again int he future, like the russians with the Su-27.

Systems

The systems have had a major make over. We have totally replaced most of the systems, and now we have the most developed and new systems for you. One of which is JTIDS, Joint Tactical Information Distribution System. This allows enemy unit information to be passed freely to other aircraft, ground units and ships, and the aircraft to let its weapons be guided by other units.

The latest Kazakh-70 system allows the sufficient Data from JTIDS to travel to the Fire Control and Weapons Systems. Kkazah-70 is basically a tied in weapons system, and means linear weapons control and firing. The target is passed via JTIDS to the computer, and can be shot down in the blink of an eye.

The latest autpilot auto landing system has been installed, and the autopilot is enemy aware this time. It will steer round radar detection areas, avoid fighters and AAA and swoop in for kills. The pilot merely has to tell it what to do, though sometimes it may be better to fly it yourself. This system is new and very well received.

Weaponary

Of course, first sight doesnt mean first shot, not without superior weapons. To keep with its stealth design, a bomb bay is used as a pose to the more traditional pilons. The wide main body is almost a flying wing, whereas the wings are swing wings. This means mounting pilons on them would be complex, and add to the confusion of an already complex plane. So, a large bomb bay was added. Last we saw, it could load a 2,000 pound bomb (though it isnt supposed to), and AIM-54's arent a problem.

There are 5 slots, and 2 AIM-120's can be loaded on each slot, or 1 AIM-54 on each. This means 10 possible AIM-120's. Fairly large for a stealth fighter. Of course, most weapons can be catered for by the bay and computers. And once more, a Ghs-30-1 cannon is loaded. Note: All eastern block variants are catered for!

There are 60 surplus aircraft requiring selling. This, I hope you understand, is in competition to _Taiwan's offer

(Woah, a 5th Generation fighter)

http://www.geocities.com/credonia

On behalf of HH the Prince of Izu, I would like to thank those honourable nations who have to submitted tenders to date.

The government of Oshima & Izu wishes to thank Kazakhstania for their recent extremely generous offer; given that this offer was in competition to the tender submitted by the government of Taiwan, we must regretfully decline since we are unable to renege on a completed arrangement. We do however hope that a future partnership may be possible.

The government, in addition, wishes to state that for the moment the Principality of Oshima and Izu no longer requires military aircraft; we are however interested in land based weapons. A formal announcement to that end will shortly be released.

I once again take the opportunity to thank all participating nations.

The Commonwealth of Mestionian would like to extend her hand in friendship to the government of Oshima and Izu in offering the services of military advisors and assistants. Additionally, the Mestionian Department of Defense has reasoned that some its older, but still very much operable equipment could be sold to your self-defense forces at approximately 1/3 of the cost of production. The offer posed by the Mestionian Parliament is such:

6,000 M16A2 Rifles
2,000 S&W M. 66 .357 Service Revolvers
700 M240G Medium Machine Guns
25 Dolphin Class Patrol Boats (max speed - 40mph fully loaded), carries 3 .50 caliber machine guns, 2 125mm cannons, 1 4 in gun, depth charges

Cost: $50 million (USD)

Additonally, we are prepared to send 1,000 men from the Mestionian Navy to be used at your discretion in the training of your forces in the use of these weapons. Please respond poste haste.


Commodore Thomas Quentin
Mestionian Naval Command

On behalf of my government, I am delighted to accept your offer. May this be the start of fruitful and harmonious relations between our nations.

The sum of $50 million will be wired upon confirmation; at which time yarrangements to transfer your personnel to Motomura will be finalised.

Order confirmed.

All small arms are to be shipped in two days time.

Patrol Boats require Naval escort to their destination, as many a pirate would like to secure one of these vessels for himself. Accordingly, Naval Command must make the necessary appropriations for her sea-going fighting men (food stores, water, ammunition, etc.). Because of this, delivery of the Patrol Boats should be expected in no less than 3 weeks and no more than 5.

Look under GLACORP. Most of our stuff is futuretech, but some is modern.

Credonia: Many thanks for your information. Unfortunately, our AF budget is currently spent; rest assured that we will remember your sources when we come to consider expansion.

Dontgonearthere: many thanks for the information you provided; we will investigate.

Mestionian: the $50 million has been wired; we look forward to receiving your personnel at Motomura NB

We humbly suggest again that we have over 100 M-26UM Tanks to upgrade for our army, but the number needed is greatly going to decrease on the arrival of the UHBT. Therefore, we have decided to sell 100 M-26UM Export Versions, just for jou.

M-26UM Main Battle Tank

http://www.bulba.eu.org/mil/free/t80/t84u.jpg

Design

Designed to combat all other Main Battle Tanks in the world, the M-26 has had everything we own put into it. Design was VERY important, and we have had all our autobile companinies, tank manufacturers and some experts from other countries helping us. We now go over it with you now, in depth.

It is based on the old T-80, and more lately on the T-80UK. We like the idea of the tank, and wanted to capitalise on it. The turret and hull combine well and look sleek and low figured, ideal for a main battle tank. It also had to allow for a large gun with lots of recoil, which has been catered for with design modifications.

Turret siding has been installed, and the smoke dispensers have been moved to a position on the side which is clearly seen. ATGM pods have been installed, and Mud and bullet deflectors have been positioned on the turret. Various new electronics and periscopes have been installed, which are detailed in 'systems'.

The turret has been moved forward to allow for a very large engine, a 1500 Horsepower Hydrogen Turbo Charged KZ-76 Battle Tank engine, which is state of the art, and will be placed on all our tanks, hopefully for the next few generations. The engine is strategically placed in a well armored section, which is well armored on the top as well as sides.

On the new updated UM version, there is a new armor to boot. The armor has just recently been invented, and never tried before in a tank. It is constructed of a titanium alloy in an epoxy-resin honeycomb. This means that the whole thing is very, very strong, and is the strongest material on earth. It surpasses the Ti/C, DU and Chobham-2 armor, and is the bestm in the world. We are very, very proud of this armor.

The armor amounts vary around the tank. The frontal armor is enough to stop an 140mm shell, which is quite much in this modern world. The side armor is designed to stop srtillery and AT rockets, and is stronger around the gine and crew sections. It can stop and has stopped 110mm, but is mainly designed to counter IFV's, Javelin Systems and various artillery munitions.

The rear armor is just enough to stop 50-90mm shells, Javelin Rockets, and AT rockets, The top armor is very protective, and can stop Javelin rockets, 120mm artillery and most Helicopter fired unguided munitions. Cluster bombs can easily be dealt with aswell. The floppy plastic things on the sides are made of Fiber Glass and Ceramics for bullet protection to te electronics, and help with the NBC systems using lead. The side skirts are made of the same material but thicker, for mine protection. If asked for, the tank can be given Kontakt-6 2nd Generation ERA for some extra $$$.

http://www.bulba.eu.org/mil/free/t80/t84u(9).jpg

The crew are situated in various positions. The driver sits in the front of the tank, in front of the protective shield that blocks the front end of the tank from the turret. The commander and Gunner sit under the turret, and the autolader takes up quite a lot of space under the cannon. It is all very secure, and there are blast proof walls between each position.There is easy exit doors and maintenance hatches throughout, and most areas can be accesed without removing the turret.

Systems

This is where this tank is really special. The systems on this tnak are expensive, special, quick and very, very user friendly. Software companies around the world were contacted to create and update these systems, and we pulled many ropes to get these programs. Most are updated versions of our old systems, witha few new ones aswell.

First off, there is the Joint Tactical Infomation Distrubtion System. It allows tanks to talk to other tanks, records and sends data and manages the tanks communications systems. It is high speed and is managed by the SuperComputer just in front of the engine. It looks after inter-tank and inside tank information, and can communicate with any JTIDS equipped vehilce/unit on the planet. It either uses Sattelite Communication or laser Communication.

The little antinnae on the tanks roof does a lot. It transmits all satellite, radio and laser communications to communicate in any way. It is directly linked to the SuperComputer and can transmit to any covered area on the globe. This may seem minor, but is central in communication.

The 360 degree camra systems are mounted on the roof and are intergrated with the Thermal and Night Vision Imaging systems. There are 2, for the Gunner and Commander. Screens at each position show the tanks status and various other things which are monitored by sensors and the SuperComputer.

http://www.bulba.eu.org/mil/free/t80/t84.jpg

The targetting system is enabled by both the gunner and commander. It conveys messages to the Autoloader, co-axial gun and turret mounted gun. The aiming sytem incorporates wind, temperature and target positioning and caters for it in adjusting the gun. The gunne can even target manually. It can be set to aim at Heat giving objects or targets given to it by the JTIDS. It also manages the targetting of the Anti Missile Laser, depending on which mode it is set to. This means quick and effective anti missile targeting.

The tank economy system monitors the engine and tread movement and modifies it depending on where the gunner wants the tank to go. It also varies the water exhaust flow, and manages the movement controls. A full NBC system is installed with filters in between the crew compartments and various exhaust systems.

The Jammer installed is a Multi-Frequency Electronic Jammer, nicknamed ARENA-4. It can jam electronics up to 600 metres away guranteed and less so for hardened systems. For extra dosh, an anti jammer jammer called Dragon can be installed.

The supercmputer itself is ultra fast and can hold, give and pass onn info in nano seconds. It is liquid cooled, amazingly by the liquid produced by the engine. It maintains everything in the tank, and is vital.

Weaponary

A large cannon was needed for the tank, and the boys who made the M-22 tank destroyer were kind to oblige. The 145mm Electro Thermal is lethal. It can take out the full front armor of a M1A2, hell, it can take out the front armor of a T-96. It can be fired while moving

The secondary weapon is the co-axially mounted 12.7mm Machine Gun, which reaches 550 rounds per minute, and is placed on the right of the 145mm gun. On top of the turret is a 7.62mm PKM Machien Gun which can fire 650 rounds a minute for anti infantary use.

Various ATGM's can be fitted on the tank. 4 Kornet ATGM's can be fitted in the visible front launchers, ATGM's can be fired from the main gun and there are 3 internal launchers on each side of the turret, under hatches. These can easily take out any APC and most IFV's.

http://www.milparade.com/2000/40a/02_01_03.jpg

The laser anti missile system is also installed. It can take out ATGM's, RPG's and even Tank Shells. It is operated by the onboard computer, and is very, very accurate. So far we have had a 100% accuracy record. It is crucial in defendng the tank, and makes it basically unkillable from anything but another tank.

http://www.sinodefence.com/army/tank/type98_5.jpg

There are, as you can see, 6 Smoke Grenade dispensers on each side and 4 not visible on the rear. 12 Are loaded with smoke grenades, 2 with Flares and 2 with Chaff. As an extra that can be fitted, 2 SAM missiles can be loaded on each side of the turret. Again for extra $$$.
