The Commonwealth of McQuaide desires to submit the BMP-3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle for the Urielikistan Light Assault Tank competition. http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3282447#3282447

To fascilitate testing of this vehicle, three shall be delivered to Urielikistan via C-5B Galaxy on loan as soon as permission is given. We are sure the vehicles will meet your requirements. To summarize the BMP-3's characteristics in reference to your requirements:

Armaments: 100mm rifled main gun. capable of firing AT-10 guided missiles or HE, HEAT, or airbursting fragmentary rounds. 2x 7.62mm Machine Guns, 1x dismounted 30mm grenade launcher. Capable of carrying 7 infantrymen in addition to crew of 3. Commander can dismount vehicle to fight with infantry while able to continue commanding the vehicle thanks to wireless command headset.

The Commonwealth will be able to immediately equip 2 Mechanized Divisions with BMP-3s. Should additional vehicles be desired, the manufacture of BMP-3 IFVs can commence as soon as 1 NS year from now.

St. Ives Naval Systems offers three relatively light aircraft carriers for your review: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=126972&highlight=

If you would please make your order in the provided link, we would be very appreciative.

check the link.

If you train the best soldiers, why send them into combat with...less than disirable arms. Why dont you send them in with
state of the art weaponry that costs less to Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayers. Look no further for these weapons. Also look for our
troop support APC, IFC, and Medical vehicles:

Should the Urielikistan government desire, the Commonwealth can, for an additional cost, provide a fully equipped Russian-technology mechanized division rather than just the BMP-3s. This would involve 250 T-90 MBTs, 50 T-72MBTs, 25 Smerch MLRS vehicles, 75 152mm Self Propelled Howitzers, and assorted engineering and logistical vehicles.
