We at the USN are looking to buy some light tanks to support our 30 regiments of stealth troops. If anyone has surplus light tanks we are willing to buy them and the production rights. Thank you.

We can sell you the production rights to BRTs (light tanks air droppable and amphibious) for free as you are a socialist nation

I cant give you alink but i do suggest Grays Hill Army Storefront

Since you seem to be modern tech, I think you would want our deisle varient. Its basicaly the same, but a bit slower and mounts kinetic weapons.
I beleive you can get two 20mm autocannons or a 75mm Anti-tank or anti-personell gun.
Fiberoptic reactive armour can be arranged.
(Small cameras transmit image from one side of the tank to the other side, this is actual modern tech. It doesnt hold up under close scruiteny, but from far away its pretty hard to detect by eyeball.)

We can give you some light tanks at rock bottom prices, being an old ally and friend in this world. The old president, Jimmy Carville, is out but I, Adolf Gorring, will honor this treaty.

Dontgonearthere, we love this tank concept. The "active camo" armour is very neat, but is it tough enough for combat?
Seems expensive to make. Electronics are not a specialty of ours, but I'm sure we can do it. We are wondering if it is air dropable by parachute. We are interested in buy 20 of them as well as product rights.

Lame Bums, your light tanks interest us as well. They don't match up with the other tanks, but we may need some cheaper tanks to mass prodce if some country ever gets it in their head to invade us again. We are willing to buy the tanks, just give the price.

SRoR, we regret we do not require any more light tanks, we have an eye towards keeping our forces pretty standard. Thank you for the offer.

The camo wont hold up in combat, unless you find some way to shield the cameras. But until then, theyre quite effective.
They can be easily removed before combat if you have too.
Its quite capable of airdrop. The usual method is to stack two tanks and drop them together, they are quite low, between 6-7 feet, which makes them quite functional in urban combat as well.
The main problem (as with most light tanks) is that it has a tendacy to explode in combat with anything other than light tanks and infantry.

By the way, were working on a rocket pod attachment, or an anti-tank missile, to give it a bit more punch.

Ok, can you standard the rocket pods to our standard 46 mm APHE rockets? We will send you a sample.
*Sends sample*
They produce a rather large amount of heat when they fire, you may have to heatshield the pods to cameras or something like that. Could a fiber optic system leading to internal cameras work better? Then, have the image projected top down onto the plating. May be a little tougher, you could use them on your own tanks too.

This.

The 50 ton version should be good as a (sort of) light tank.

Thanks but no thanks. Too heavy for us.

How 'bout we just sell you the tanks.
How many do you want and what kinda guns do you want on them?
We can fit mount areas for the rockets if you want.
