As a gift to our friend Communist Lousiana we will fill one bomber with classy paperweights commemorating the creation of Ratheia's First Bomber.

Also, a Myasischev 55V will arrive with the bombers on schedule within two years.

First bomber will arrive within 1 month, with remaining 4,999 to arrive at intervals over the course of 5 years.

-bump for remaining orders-

Re-bump.

What is the T-4's RCS (Radar Cross Section), in square feet please?

Hey! It's Witzgall!

The T-4MSTR is not built to be a stealth aircraft, but employs gemoetric shapes similar to the F-117A, without the hindering affects. However, the bomber does have a coating of composite materials. The bomber mainly relies on speed and thrust-vectoring to evade enemy fighters/defenses.

The bomber maintains a large and powerful anti-electronic warfare suite to protect itself. It employs extensive electronic countermeasures. Stealth is a dead game for us Ratheians. Our next stealth aircaft will be out within 10-12 years and will be a mesospheric aircraft.

Very rude thing to do, Mattooe.

As per agreed, we would like you to export 18 of these prime bombers to us. You shall be met by an escort of Mig 29's at co-ordinates SIX CHARLIE BETA EIGHT to be flown into Dorsalgrad. Your pilots will receive a free commercial first class (The only class) plane flight back to Ratheia. Would it be possible for them to arrive with munitions and munitions specifics? We will pay for these at a later date. Thank you.

Order confirmed, Witzgall.

-a few more bumps until I kill this thread off and keep the rest of my bombers-

-final bump-

OOC: Whew, last second...
IC:

Greetings comrade! We wish to purchase 50 of these bombers, which would normally cost $22,500,000,000 , however, as a Comintern nation, are we still eligable for the 30% discount? If so, $6,750,000,000 would be the price tag.

Contact us if you have questions or concerns... And, if possible, would you be willing to sell production rights?


-Raptorian Air Force and War Sector

The bombers are on their way, Raptorian Federation.

Your Comintern discount is effective.

As for production rights..well. We will tg you with information.
