In the year 2005, the Colonial Airforce was flying a variety of distinct aircraft that fit the medium fighter role. F-15 Eagles, EF-2000 Eurofighters and F-35 Joint Strike Fighters performed as the workhorses of the Airforce, while F-133 Valkyries (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthrea...t=362157&page=1) and F-106 Liberators (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthrea...039#post7279039) filled the more glamorous heavy fighter role.

The Colonial Aerospace Command, eager to simplify both the training and the variety of spare parts needed for operations, submitted a request for a new, medium strike-fighter that could replace the F-15s, EF-2000s and F-35s, while outperforming all of them. One of the critical design requirements however, was that the plane be able to intercept a Decisive Action manufactured MiG-41 Good Ole Boy, which has a maximum speed of Mach 4.09. This requirement was considered by the Aerospace Command to be the most important aspect of the initally requested minimum performance specifications.

The Colonial Aerospace Corporation was the first to respond, with the mating of 2 Colonial Aerospace F-106 Engines, providing a total of 120,000 pounds of thrust, onto the pre-existing X-32U prototype airframe. The F-106 Engine was originally developed at a cost of 1.3 trillion US dollars for the F-106 Liberator Heavy Strikefighter. It was believed that the fitting of two massive F-106 Engines onto a medium fighter would allow it to exceed the maximum speeds of the DA MiG-41.

The X32U-F106E, later named the F-81 Peacemaker, won out in government trials against competing designs from the Pan Colonica Corporation and the Ocean Union, entered limited production in early 2008 and entered full production in late 2009.

The F-81 Peacemaker, while having no stealth or low radar visibility capabilities, does feature full 3-D thrust vectoring engines, that in conjunction with the canards, allow for a high degree of manuverability. As well, the F-81 Peacemaker is fully capable of V/STOL operations, is outfitted with a full fly-by-light optical wire control system, and has a radar comparable in capability to that of the F-15C Eagle.

The F-81 Peacemaker Strikefighter/Interceptor is being offered for export with an initial price of 45 million dollars per aircraft. We are open to negotiations concerning larger orders.

PIcaRDMPCia would like to purchase three hundred of these aircraft for a cost of 13,500,000,000. Funds will be wired upon delivery of the aircraft.
-Adamo Adamo, Finance Minister.

RB wishes to purchase 1,000 of these magnificent aircraft for a total sum of $450,000,000,000. Money will be wired upon confirmation. Thanks!

While the Colonial Aerospace Corporation always aims to please, we are afraid that the sale of military equipment to your nation was subject to special inquiry by the Colonial Department of Foreign Affairs. Reported human rights abuses, membership in the 'The Evil Dictator’s Lounge and Gentleman’s Club', and other issues are causing the Department of Foreign Affairs at this time to block our sale of fighters to your nation.

Our skilled corporate attorneys however, are currently challenging the decision to block the sale. We have the utmost confidence in thier abilities to secure the sale of the 1,000 fighters to your nation. In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvienience.

ooc: Correct me if I'm mistaken, but IC, you're a giant evil empire. IC, I'm a giant Liberal paradise. Nothing personal, but I don't think that the sale of military arms to Roach-Busters by the Democratic Colonies would occur IC. Sales to conservative nations will occur, yes, but Roach-Busters is apparently led by a self titled 'Evil Dictator and Gentleman'. IC, the sale wouldn't make any sense.

Statement from the Department of Defense

"At this time, the Militant Imperium of Tyrandis would like to purchase twelve of these fighters for testing and exercises. We are rather curious how exactly standard turbofan engines are capable of hitting anything past Mach 2.8."

OOC: Yeah. Like I said in the previous thread, you aren't getting past Mach 3 w/o a hybrid engine like the Blackbird's twin RAMjets... And like I said in the previous thread, almost everyone ignores DA's godmodded weapon stats.

The aircraft will be delivered to you within five months.

Maintenence, repair and training documentation and equipment has been made available to you.

While the sale of military equipment to your nation was legally challenged by the Coalition of Citizens for World Democracy, the Colonial Department of Foreign Affairs found no reason to bar the sale of military equipment to your nation.

We hope that your purchase serves your nation well.

ooc: Truth is, I basically just threw money at the engine development program until it came up with an engine that could give me extremely high amounts of thrust. The total development cost for the F-106 Engine was 1.3 trillion. That's around 4 times the entire defense budget of the RL United States in the year 2002 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_budget). All of that money went towards the development of the engine. For that much, I could have bought 48,000 F-16 Fighting Falcons (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/f-16-specs.htm).

I just threw money at it until I got the engine that could do the deed. I traded 48,000 fighters for a jet engine. I'm no engineer, but I think that a nation with a population that would be over two thirds of the entire RL Earth's with a world class education system and the willingness to throw simply uncomprehenable amounts of money at a design probelm will eventually get a solution.

ooc: The Great Sixth Reich, I think you miscalculated on the price of your order. You seem to have placed an additonal zero into the total.

I'm okay with retroactively editing that typo out of IC existance if you'd like.

We apologize, but the Colonial Department of Foreign Affairs has barred us from selling any military arms or equipment to your nation.

Secretary Stephanie March (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/JC_Denton/NationStates/March01.jpg) cited your nation's status as a 'corrupt Islamic dictatorship' as considered by the United Nations as the reason behind the government decision. We apologize for the inconvienience.

Order denied on the basis that you cannot afford that amount (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=TiPpYsGaLoRe). The entire gross domestic product for the nation of TiPpYsGaLoRe is equal to 1/1300th of the Colonial defense budget.

The Federated Union of Democratic Colonies recognizes an ally when it sees one. Time and time again, the Republic of JRV has done what it can to assist the Democratic Colonies when need be. The military forces of JRV stood by the Colonial Navy in operations against Female Slavery Inc., and even now, troops from JRV assist in quelling the radical Christian uprising that has gripped Kearond Colony.

The Colonial Government would like to offer as a sign of our continuing friendship, 60 F-81 Peacemakers without any charge. Our understanding of the JRV Airforce structure is that 60 fighters organized into 6 Squadrens of 10 form a Fighter Wing. We would be honored to have the F-81 Peacemaker serve in your armed forces.

How honest! Thank You!

We believe that honor and honesty are traits that any merchant worth his or her worth should have. We only regret that we did not catch the unfortunate error sooner.

Efforts have been made to right any wrongs, and we believe that the totals are now all in order.

We thank you for your business and hope that the F-81 Peacemaker serves you well.

:)

The client that places the next order shall also recieve, at no extra charge, either a CP21 5.7mm Pistol (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=381668) or a P221 10mm Pistol (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=363973&page=1) free with every aircraft ordered.
