USTIO, being an inland nation has a reasonable army, air force and river patrol craft. Howevery, our nation is expanding and the USTIO government is still formulating plan to start our own military building contractors and facilities but untill that time we can only purchase military units from foreign countries.

USTIO's air force isn't what it should be...

Fighter Craft

4 F/A 22 Raptors
12 Tornados (All of the GR Tornado craft types)

Bomber Force

5 Vulcan Bombers
1 B-52 Fortress
2 B-2 Stealth Bombers

There are logistics like re-fueling air craft but they will not be listed, this is not a military fact book.

The USTIO MoD calls out to the great nations of the world to possibly seel us some Long-Range Tactical Bombers. We are looking to purchase a maximum of 10 bombers and we will choose which bombers we will purchase from which nation. So this isn't a first come first serve basis.

Thank you for your Attention.

USTIO MoD Department

BUMP

We would be willing to sell a model that would be appropriate for you requests. Should you be interested we shall provide the statistics of the bomber.

Communist Louisiana will pick up the entire cost of all military purchases that USTIO will make. Please bill everything to us.

We are interested.

Please send us the specs and we'll be on the way to a better USTIO air force.

We thank CL for claiming to pay for construction costs.

I can sell you 10 TU-22M medium range bombers and 5 TU-160 Intercontinental bombers for 50 million(HUGE DISCOUNT !)



TU-22M (http://homepage.mac.com/kshinohara/Tu-22M.jpg)
Tupolev Tu-22M (NATO 'Backfire') is a supersonic medium bomber which was designed to replace the subsonic Tu-16 and the troublesome Tu-22 missile carriers. Although its designation may suggest that the 'Tu-22M' Backfire is basically a modified Tu-22 'Blinder' it is a completely different and new design with only a few small Tu-22 features maintained. The Tu-22M design features a variable geometry wing which is also found on contemporary tactical fighters and the American B-1B bomber. The two turbofan afterburning engines are unlike almost every other bomber located in its fuselage body, with large shoulder mounted intakes, resembling the configuration of tactical fighters as the Su-24 and Tornado.

The aircraft can be equipped with up to three Kh-22 air-to-surface missiles, with one under each wing and a third under its belly, semi-recessed into the bomb bay. The second ASM option is the Kh-15 (NATO AS-16 'Kickback') on a six-round launcher carried in the bomb bay. Up to four external bomb racks can be equipped, each rack capable of carrying nine conventional 250kg general purpose bombs. Also the 500, 1500 and 3000 kg conventional bombs can be equipped. The Tu-22M is equipped with a Leninets PN-A attack radar in the nose and a OPB-15T television sight for optical bomb aiming located below the fuselage just in front of the nose gear



TU-160 (http://vnexpress.net/Vietnam/The-gioi/Tu-lieu/2003/09/3B9CBA06/Tu1222.jpg)
The Tupolev Tu-160 'Blackjack' is a supersonic intercontinental bomber designed during the Cold War to carry and launch Air Launched Cruise Missiles (ALCM). The Tu-160 is the heaviest and most powerful combat aircraft in the world today. The aircraft is capable of a maximum speed of Mach 2.05 or 2200 km/h (1367 mph) and has a maximum range of 13950 km (7,533 nm).

The aircraft has a slender long blended wing-body design with a variable-geometry wing. The four NK-32 afterburning turbofans are arranged in pairs under the mid-wing each with variable-area intakes. The undercarriage consists of one front double-wheel leg and two six-wheel bogies (three tandem pairs), which are located between the engine pairs. Along the aircraft's centreline between the two gear units there are two weapon bays, which are divided by the wing carry-through structure.

IC: I personally would go for the Tu-160 if you want a long-range bomber.

Thank you for the advise.

Not many offers have come forward so USTIO has decided to purchase the 10 TU-22M's and the 5 TU-160's for 50 million.

Communist Louisiana has kindly stated that they will pay all the expenses that the USTIO MoD would have to pay.

Our thanks go to Communist Louisiana and Willink for helping USTIO with our military affairs. And also to the Warhammer Syndicate for their advise.
