Neo-Soviet Russia would like to suggest the nation of Samtonia have a look at the NSR-owned arms manufactuerer Lightning Stryke Industries (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=364993). We believe that you'd be interested in our line of fighter aircraft along with possible other pieces of equipment we have to offer.

We thank you for your time.

-*X1a1 Achilles

The X1a1 was designed from the best of every tank in the era, focusing a lot on the M1 Abram's tank.
The tank contains an embedded version of the Nyction Army's command and control architecture; new Commander's
Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV) with second generation thermal imager; commander's display for digital colour
terrain maps; DRS Techologies second generation GEN II TIS thermal imaging gunner’s sight with increased range;
driver's integrated display and thermal management system. The 140mm gun fires the following ammunition: the M865 TPCSDS-T
and M831 TP-T training rounds, the M8300 HEAT-MP-T and the M829 APFSDS-T which includes a depleted uranium penetrator.
It also includes a the Gage gun turret drive stabilisation system. THe X1a1 includes the GPS-LOS, TIS, ELRF, and magification
to hit it's targets. The commander's station is equipped with eight periscopes, providing 360 degree view.

-*X1a2 Achilles

With the advancement in rival countries technologies, a new upgrade shall be designed,
the Goverment has decided to do a overall upgrade. The new X1a2 Achilles will support a high advanced computer
targeting, Engage, and Reload Artificial Inteligence System (TERAIS). Every turret of the tank will be computer controlled by The TERAIS.
Every computer will be linked together and will pick the best target out for it's position, and fire upon it with the confirmation from the Gunner.
The computer and/or the Gunner can set the kind of projectile, the timed inpact, projectory and more. The AI will work together so multiple tanks
will not be hitting 1 target at a time. So AI controls every function of the turret other than the actual confirmation to fire.
The TERAIS can be turned off for standard fire.
The reloading system is based off of the Artitsa T-95UM2's AAD-03 16rpm rate of fire, 8 shells per “quick shot” carrousel system. All reloading is done by computer and machine.
The computer will also target aircraft with the 20mm Cannon and be able to eliminate low flying aircraft and helicopters at ease.
The Tank Commander is the Computer Technition as the Radio Operator. The other crew is the pilot of the tank and the Gunner, running the TERAIS.
The X1a2 also shows the feature of double turrets, the main turret like most tanks, and a much smaller mini-turret on top of the main turret
sporting a 20mm Cannon and 2 TOW Anti-Tank missiles. The armor is also upgraded to protect from hits to the crew, and the large amount of ammunition
stores inside for it's many armaments.

Cost Per Unit: $6,750,000 USD (Tank + Upgrade).

Overall weight: 88 tons
Crew: 3
Off-Road Speed: 44 mph

The F-96 Phasmatis(Ghost in Latin) was designed with the F-22 in mind, but on a much better scale. It is a to be a stealth multirole,
made from and layered by Composite RAM and Carbine-Fibire. It's wings have a rhomboidal planform wing with 42-degree
sweepback on leading edge, and 17-degree forward sweep on the trailing edge. The leading edge is slatted, while on the trailing
edge there are ailerons outboard and flaprons inboard. The angles are all-moving tailerons are matched to those of the wing, which
reduces RCS, while the large twin fins and rudders are outward-canted, also having airbrake function. Engine inlets are a trapazoid
shape, made to match the wing. The exhaust nozzles are two-dimensional convertgent-divergent design and incorporate pitch-only
vectoring to improve field performance in taking off and landing, and for increasing the pitch/turn rate in aerial combat. All
armament is kept externally, so it will not compromise it's stealth characteristics. The F-96 Phasmatis can track 80 separate targets, rate the
threat posed by each, and give the pilot the information through her state of the art HUD Display in the Pilot's Goggles/Visors.



Also give me a better description what you want for the navy.

We are able to direct you to MierTech, Phoenixius' military construction arm. The link is in my signature.

We have just recently updated out Tenoth MBT, so that should be your first stop. AS to your aircraft, I have different choices for each of fighters, bombers and misc aircraft, depending on your budget and quality requirements. Though we don not have a 'heavy' cruiser, we do have a cruiser and a battleship, plus an unmanned cruiser.

As ever Crookfur Arms can make soem suggestions from our range:

Medium tank: What could be better than the endlessy impressive T-8 Grey Mamba? a main gun that is the msot powerful in it's class and with decetn armour and manouverability it is the prefect example of where the design triangle should meet in the medium tank area:
http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/vehicles.html#mamba


Bomber: Why not give the Super Vulcan a look, while not as big as some aircraft it can carry just about any weapon you could want while being able to outfly some fighters!: http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/aircraft.html#vulcan

Misc aircraft: we offer a rnage of solutions rnaging from multiprupose strategic support platforms such as the CFU-9 Longshore (http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/aircraft.html#long) (can carry cargo, personel and with an small upgrade act as a tanker at the same time!) to the uniquely useful Rotodyne Range (http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/rotodynes.html)

LSDI has a number of innovative aeronautical products on offer. THe URL for our catalogue is listed below:

The Portland Iron Works (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=345001) has several ships that could fill your needs for a heavy cruiser.

Comes equipped with Sarztorp light torpedo.
Price: $1.8 billion

The Praeton-class heavy missile cruiser is a well-protected ship that is designed to be a dangerous ship to larger battleships as well as protect your smaller escort vessels and cause potential foes to think twice before attacking your shores.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Alliance-class super cruiser (http://www.scharnhorst-class.dk/scharnhorst_main_page.jpg) (CB)
Displacement: 28,321 tons full load
Dimensions: 232.4 x 26.9 x 9.6 meters

The Alliance-class supercruiser was previously classified as a heavy cruiser in the Sarzonian navy. It is an excellent platform for coastal bombardment with its nine 11 inch guns and its armor is designed to protect against Harpoon missiles and small to medium-scale gunfire.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Randolph-class heavy cruiser (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/images/ca-68-line.gif) (CA)
Displacement: 22,413 tons full load

Price: $875 million

The Randolph-class heavy cruiser is a well-protected, heavily armed cruiser that is also designed to withstand hits from Harpoon or Exocet missiles that cause significant damage to other ships of similar class. It also can serve in a coastal bombardment role.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Ithaca-class light cruiser (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/images/cl-55-line.gif) (CL)
Displacement: 11,977 tons full load
Dimensions 133 x 21.9 x 8.1 meters

Armament: 3 triple 6"/40 cal, 2 dual 5/38 cal DP, 2 Harpoon, 2 5/54 2 Phalanx CIWS, 4 12.75 inch TT, 2 Mk41 VLS systems.
Price: $775 million.

While the Ithaca-class cruiser is classified as a light cruiser in our Navy, a simple adjustment in the weapons scheme to eight inch guns can turn this into a heavy cruiser. This ship is inspired by the similar Cleveland-class that has been dubbed a heavy cruiser in all but armament. It is a very tough ship for its classification and the namesake of the class acquitted itself well in a single ship action against a Praetonian Griffin-class Trimaran cruiser.

[OOC: The Cleveland-class light cruisers came with 12 6" guns. I took out one of the triple turrets (in the X position), so it would be an easy matter of installing eight inch guns.]
