The MiG-27 "Raven" is an upgraded MiG-27 Flogger, with superior engine, weapons, tracking system, radar systems, and decreased weight then its predecessor. It is faster and more versatile then the origional MiG-27, but the most noticable change is the engine swap, giving it VTOL abilities (Vertical Take Off/Landing), making it carrier-able. It uses a similar propulsion system to the Z-1 Aunin, based around the F115 engine. It also feature larger air intakes for improved engine performace and thrust.

The need for light weight rapid response armor has finally caught up with Dark Angel. Moving away from their heavy line of tanks, they have succsesfully produced this wonderful vehicle. capable of reaching speeds of 50+ mph, the Talon is just about as quick and light as they come. Not aptly suited for open field battle with other tanks, the Talon is more at home in a urban warfare enviroment, using quick strikes and then moving back under cover. Their Cheap price and light weight makes them ideal for ammassing large armies fast, and moveing them even faster.




S-1 Smoker (http://usera.imagecave.com/Daishi/Smoker.gif) second pic (http://usera.imagecave.com/Daishi/m58wolf1-s.jpg)

Primary Function: To provide a smoke screen over a large area
Maunfacturer: Dark Angel
Unit Cost: $650,000
Crew: 3
Weight: 15 tons
Length: 26'5"
Width: 18'3"
Height: 15'3"
Forward speed: 55 mph
Reverse speed: 18 mph
Engine: 300 HP turbocharged 6V53T Detroit Diesel engine
Propulsion: 4-speed hydrostatic transmission
Vertical obstacle climb: 60 in
Maximum width ditch: 125 in
Fording Depth: 60 in
Main Gun: 15mm Machine gun

The S-1 is a mechanized armored vehicle which provides large area multispectral obscurant screening for maneuvering forces. The S-1 Smoke Generator System is composed of M56 smoke generator components. Additional systems, such as the AN/VAS-5 Driver's Vision Enhancer (DVE), the M8A3 Gas Particulate Filter Unit (GPFU), M259 Smoke Grenade Launchers, and a Single Channel Ground-Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) have been designed into the S-1 to support its mission. To enhance the mobility and maneuverability of the S-1, the Reliability Improvement of Selected Equipment (RISE) configuration package, which includes a 300 HP turbocharged 6V53T Detroit Diesel engine coupled to a 4-speed hydrostatic transmission, external fuel tanks, and a new driver's station has been incorporated. These chassis improvements provide the S-1 the capability to keep pace with the A-1 Annex and A-3 Talon units that it will support. Without refueling or resupplying obscurant material, the S-1 is capable of continuously producing 90 minutes of visual and 30 minutes of Infrared (IR) screens. Future planned materiel changes will allow the addition of a Millimeter Wave (MMW) obscuration module. The S-1, operated by a three-man crew, has the capability to counter the threat arising from the wide proliferation of advanced visual and IR sensors and future MMW sensors.

The S-2 AVLB (Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge) was designed to launch and retrieve a class 75 bridge. The main body is based on the A-1 tank assembly. Used during combat, an AVLB is a folding portable bridge that is transported on the top of a tank chassis. The AVLB vehicle carries a crew of two. It is powered by a 800 HP Diesel Engine. The bridge and vehicle total weight is 65.3 tons. Speed improvements have allowed the AVLB to keep up with current A-1 and A-3 Assault Forces. The Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) supports a wide range of units using a caution crossing at reduced gap length (15 meters) and at a reduced crossing speed.

These powerful, flexible capital ships increased the Navy's ability to provide an important new capability in maritime power, plus much-needed flexibility in carrier deployment schedules. No smaller ship can sustain a comparable level of offensive efforts in terms of volume, weight and duration of firepower and in terms of both guns and cruise missiles, and survivability. The Hades will dominate the seas on many different levels, as a command ship, or as a compliment to an impressive naval armada.

Modern US Navy Guided Missile Cruisers perform primarily in a Battle Force role and Land Seige. These ships are multi-mission (AAW, ASW, ASUW) surface combatants capable of supporting carrier or battleship battle groups, amphibious forces, or of operating independently and as flagships of surface action groups. Due to their extensive combat capability, these ships have been designated as Battle Force Capable (BFC) units. Designed to move ICBM's across open water, this Ship is capable of launching 44 ICBMs within 5 inches of their target.
