Blacktower is a new republic that has recently had a rebellion in its borders. With no standing army to defend itself, It relied on allies to come to its defense. Once the rebellion was quelled Blacktower set out to purchase an army. with a modest budget, they are interested in current or recent arms at a resonable price. We need an Airforce, Armor divisions, and Naval strength. We already have a standing army of 200,000 soldiers, all fully armed (pending a current purchase) so no need for small arms. Anything you are willing to sell post it here and we will most likeley purchase it.

We have several BA-1700 Night Main Battle Tanks in surplus.

Picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/commando_burns/BA-1700.gif)

All 300 for only $80,000,000.

sold. $80,000,000 has been wired for the BA-1700's. A pleasure doing buisness with you.

As with you. Money is received and the BSS Hightower and BSS Stevedore are en route with said equipment.

we have recently added cheap (in price!) tanks to the Soviet Supply Depot.

The Dominion of Novus Arcadia would like to offer fifty T-1 jet fighters, at $ 28,000,000 (15,000,000 kopecs).

Does Novus Arcadia have any pictures or stats on these fighters?

unfortunatley Novus, I am going to have to turn down your offer. After checking on your countrys wealth status and defense budget, I find that you could not afford any of those airplanes, and thus could not have them. You currently have a defense budget of $0.000, if your interested. Might want to work on that ;)

If anyone has some atcual planes I would be interested.

No photographs on hand, but they are loaded in a military surplus area and could be dispatched quickly, if necessary. They also are equipped with two machine guns and a short range missile each.

(ooc: read previous post)

I still need Naval and Air if anyone is selling.

As a small member nation of the New Commonwealth you are eligible for half-off anything and everything you want from there.

IM not sure if you wanted me to post this here, or in the forums, so Im posting it here.

R-1200 BlackHeart - 30 x $20,000,000 = $600,000,000
R-1700 Thunderbolt - 25 x $10,000,000 = $250,000,000
R-1800 Praetor - 15 x $10,000,000 = $150,000,000

TOTAL AMMOUNT OF WEAPONS = 70
TOTAL COST OF WEAPONS = $1,000,000,000

I'll offer you 1,000 Stryker of different varients (Fighting Vehicle, Medical Vehicle, Command Vehicle, APC) with the Nycton Protocal 1 Armor upgrade for 1 billion

I need excact numbers and specs. Pictures would help if possible. and not for 1 billion.

BLACKTOWER IS SHOPPING FOR NAVAL AND AIRFORCE

any available items will be considered

I plan on being a mercenary nation so my armies are in your hands as long as you need them, prices will be discused at a later date based on casualties, time used, etc

It's fine, the orders are confirmed and the helicopters are en route to Blacktower as we speak.

Nation of Fortune, I will keep that in mind. unfortunatley I am not currently looking for a mercenary army as I dont plan on going to war. I am simply purchasing an army for my own nation.

However, I will keep your name at the top of my list if I do go to war or fall under attack :mp5:

as you wish

Lightning Stryke Industries, a state owned arms manufacturer of the United Socialist States of Neo-Soviet Russia would suggest Blacktower look to their catalog of vehicles and weaponry. Along with typical infantry weaponry we offer advanced ground vehicles and rather advanced aircraft. If you do decide to purchase from LSI we are willing to, if need be, work out certain deals in order to fulfill an order.

With that said, our catalog is located here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=364993).

We await your possible order.

The Soviet Arms Depot has recently added MiGs to its inventory.

Thank you for the offer Neo, but unfortunatley my simple Nation does not have the Defense budget or yet posses the knowledge, and could not possibly afford to or understand how to fly any of your magnificant planes. perhaps if you were to lower you prices and include flight crews, perhaps we could work something out.

Check the LSDI storefront... (Click the HERE in the signature below)

(OOC: as we're in the middle of saving your derrier, it might well be advised to consider our goods... my airborne troops are not well regarded for their patience... :) )

We will be willing to devise a lend lease scheme for you payable over 15 years, though this will attract a 20% surcharge... or if you wish to buy smaller numbers of craft, then that is no problem either..

ooc: im still looking for that HERE that im supposed to click....

(btw, the rebellion is over, so feel free to withdrawl your troops :P)

:mp5:

Lightning Stryke Industries would be willing to work out a possible contract with you related to yearly production batches and payment depending on the number of aircraft you wished to purchase with little added cost.

We are also willing to dispatch aircrews to help educate and train your own Air Force personnel. The only cost you would have to pay would be their housing.

ooc: im still looking for that HERE that im supposed to click....


It's the underlined one in the signature in this post ... a hyperlink... its says "Click HERE"... that's the HERE! you're after... look below this sentence...

(btw, the rebellion is over, so feel free to withdrawl your troops :P)

:mp5:

OK, might take a couple of weeks though...

ooc: ther eis nothing in your signature box :(

Upon review of your offer, I am willing to purchase 5 LSIA-ASF-11 Abaddon, fully upgraded. If I am pleased with their purformance I shall purchase more aircraft at a later date.

LSIA-ASF-11 Abaddon 5 x 62,155,000 (price of fully upgraded) = $310,775,000

I will also expect the crews to acompany their aircraft. I will also require a training crew, to teach my own pilots how to fly these jets, in case of a future purchase. any maintenance or technicians need should also acompany the jets.

the cash has been wired.

OK, might take a couple of weeks though...


dont be planning anything sneaky.... I have an army now.... ;)

and what a great army it is. Most arms supplied by the Soviet Arms Depot, the perfect place for fledgling armies or nations just looking for cheap weaponry.

Don't worry we're not, in fact we're more concerned about you paying over the odds for your aircraft at the Soviet Arms Depot.. I mean, $30m for a MiG-27.. come on.. that's the real price of a MiG-29 nowadays (I did check the export price out..) I mean, I'm selling the navalised version of the Su-27 for $35m and its a far superior aircrtaft...

So dont buy from it. thanks for the tip. will now lower prices.

Crews shall be chosen and they, along with the purchased aircraft, shall ship within the next day to three at most.

We estimate the housing needs to be that of around one hundered personnel.

If you want advice on prices I can rattle upa realistic list... thogh my thing these days is to produce craft that are Modern+ as I call it.. my storefronts near the top of the list, you'll see what I mean if you check it out..

(I shop there cause I get freequent buyer miles :P)

Lasatania, do you know any good sites for price lists? I cant find anything. And Google supposed to be good. :confused:

try ebay. sometimes you can actually find a tank on sale lol. no, seriously, you can

Doesn't work like that as such.. given that most arms companies aren't really willing to give out details of the price of their products... what you are best to do, is..

Firstly, remember the current price of an export MiG 29 is $30m (I got this off a site that I can't flamin remember now!)

Secondly, find information regarding something like the Eurofighter.. I'm sure the unit price for that is around somewhere - check the news sites for that...

Then consider that the price of the B2 stealth bomber is $1bn a unit

Now do some estimates.. One thing to do is perhaps find the price of US equivalents then decrease your price by about 10-20%....

This is a rather long, drawn out process...

thanks

and what a great army it is. Most arms supplied by the Soviet Arms Depot, the perfect place for fledgling armies or nations just looking for cheap weaponry.

well, its better then nothing :sniper:

Well, Blacktower, if you still haven't found the HERE - I bumped my storefront to near the top of the list..

well, its better then nothing :sniper:

hey, its a sales pitch, what do you expect?

Heck my Republic's army is mostly all second-rated stuff....I seriously doubt my tanks can handle one MBT from one of the larger nations....

Only my Navy is made of top-notch stuff and also my long-range bombers....my fighters are well....non-existant...lol.......

willing to sell any of that top notch navy?

and aircraft carrier perhaps?

I must be drunk....but i think that can be arranged....

let me check my list (yes i keep a list of all my troops)

Hmmm.......

Okay i can part with one Carrier Battle Group and 5 Dolphin Class Sub:


Carrier Battle Group
2X Kitty Hawk Aircraft Carrier
20X F-14
40X F-35 JSF
20X SH-60 Helicopter

Take it as a diplomatic gift.....i have around 13 of those Battle Groups and i seriously doubt i can support 13 at full strength.....8 of them are in Dry Dock...

New republic needs arms

If you ever need any military support in the future, Blacktower will be there to lend a hand.
