..... :lol:

Well, i am certainly impressed by the size of your Air Force, Tychsenistan is looking to update it's Squadrons with more up to date techs, would you be willing to engage in a trade agreement? We are especialyl interested in the Lyulka-Saturn AL-31F turbofan engine and Phazotron Zhuk-10PD tracking systems to get our Jian-10 multirole-aircraft literaly off the ground :D

We would also like to invest in buying around 38 Sukhoi Su-30MKK fighter aircraft (along with anti-shipping capabilities :wink: ) to out fit Tychsenistan's ageing Carrier based aircraft. Prices can be aranged.

Premier Ordachev, Tychsenistan

The numbers are a little high...but thats fine its not bad.


Finally a new nation that has NOT tryed to destroy the world already :P

Interesting, interesting indeed...

I just figured out that I had 100 Army divisions which I think is a little too high, can anyone like, help me with that or anything? :P

OOC: exactly! I realised just how high the numbers were afterwards! But given that around most of the airforce is pretty old ex-Soviet stock I figured it wouldn't cost that much to construct. As for destroying the world, not for some time yet... :)

Still OOC: as for tech, there's post of which aircraft the nation currently builds - http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3261121#3261121

Apple Zer0: I decided a long time ago to not follow the path of N00bdem, thus saving you nice folks a further headache :P

Anime Otakus: Tychenistan would gladly help you in anyway we can, if it means sorting out your Armed Forces we will see what we can do. Perhaps if you could be more precise, we could always lend you some Military advisors for a refit of your Organisational structure in your Army if thats what you are looking for.
:wink:
