My Nation is currently unprepared for any incoming attack whatsoever. It would be greatly appreciated if some bigger nations would donate or sell some of there "junk" (eg. out-dated tech. [thompsons, bar's] old aircraft, aircraft parts or anything that would help) I would also like to add that we am not an "invader nation. We are focused on defence only

Thank You

Madnestan can offer up to seventeen million Soviet tech AKM's and RPD-light machineguns for five bucks each. Price includes 120 rounds of ammunition for each piece of shAHEM. Weapon. We also have 450 T-64 MBT's if you like such practice targAHEM! Tanks. Their price is around 100,000 USD's each, but can be negotiated.

I'll accept the offer.

Money to be wired upon conformation.

Lucky for you West Corinthia is currently upgrading their army as well as cutting back on weapon diversity. Having many different weapon types gets difficult to keep track of, after all. Therefore, we are willing to offer you weapons at rock-bottom prices. We assure you they are all in like new condition. Most have seen service in the West/East Corinthian war but weapon maintenance is of utmost importance to our troops. Here is what we can offer you: (you can buy it all or just specific things if you'd like, so I'll give everything a price)
25,000 FNP90 Submachine Guns $1,250,000 ($50 per SMG)
140 Stormer 30 Light Tanks $3,500,000 ($25,000 per tank)
200 T-54 Main Battle Tanks $20,000,000 ($100,000 per tank)
20 Yak 141 Fighters $100,000,000 ($5,000,000 per fighter)
If you buy them all together, we will offer you a 15% discount, so instead of paying $124,750,000 for all items you pay a mere $106,037,500. You will not see a lower price for these items. If you aren't able to pay this much we can extend your payments and you will only pay a certain amount every month. We won't even add interest to your payments. All weapons include enough ammunition to sustain a small conflict.
UPDATE: I have seen your defense budget (which is around $15 billion by the way) you should have no trouble affording all I have to offer. What's 100 million when you have 15 billion to spend on weapons?

The commonalitarianism as a gesture of armed friendship is donating 5000 seahawk gas dart pistols usable underwater and on land, and 10000 10 shot dart clips. We congratulate you and wish you the best.

Regards the Commonarch of the Commonalitarianism.

The United Socialist States of Somewhere in South America is willing to give you an Enterprise Class aircraft carrier* out of the prime minister's generosity.

To the Defence Minister of the Armed Republic of Drunken Puffins -
We are prepared to offer 72 F-16 Block 60 and 72 F-16CJ fighters for $14.4 billion ($10 million per unit; we will accept offers for lesser numbers of aircraft).

The DEGE was once in your shoes. However we found our way by converting civilian cars into military vehicles. We got thousands of APC Vans, recon cars, the Pickups you always see with a machine gun mounted on top, semis that pull SAM launchers on flatbeds, of course Hummers that are used as Hummers, and my favorite, the Pickup truck with an artillery piece in the back. We literally have tens of thousands of these heaps of junk! and EVERYTHING MUST GO! That's right, we will sell these to you for the low, no I take that back, we will pratically give you these cheap but fine pieces of crap for the cost of shipping! That's right! All you have to do is just give us 30 bucks per thing or just come get em yourself! Feel free to mix and match as well, don't let this oppurtunity pass you by!

We are mass-producing the LET30 Tank, thus, we are selling half of our M1A1 and M1A2 tank fleet at $9,000 a pop, unless you want to order in bulk

We will also send the Manifesto aircraft carrier for free, but it WILL need some TLC, most noteablly the fact that the vital emergancy catch nets don't work, and RADAR tends to faulter.

Modnoth is willing to donate 2 Decomissioned Peregrine class carriers equiped with a full complement (80 ea.) of PC-8 UCAVs, Additional products may be purchased from our storefront: The Nine Military Storefront (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=385183&page=1&pp=15) where we sell much equipment suitable for developing militaries.

The Soviet Usean Defence Army is Willing to give you several of out outdated MiG-15UDtJ Trainers.These traners are equiped with the best tech from the 1970's and are compadable with newer systems.We can send you up to 32000 of there old fighters.Some need work.

PROHT is willing to donate 500 M-113 APCs, and 10,000 M998 and 10,000 5-ton trucks and 20,000 MC-5 5" (approxamately) towed mortars.

100,000 CM-249 Squad Automatic Weapons (double as sniper rifles sometimes).

PROHT shall also send a Marine Logistics (Horse) division to familiarize your troops with the weapons sysems and their use. Urban, mountain and jungle warfare are their specialties.

This package, is all yours for a flat fee of $10,000 and a 10 year lease on one of your ports\military bases.

From: Avalt Security International
Subject: Internal Security

We are happy to see another nation taking precautions to protect their people from the growing tide of international agressors. However, we feel you are going about it the wrong way. What you do not see is that you are blowing important, early stage defense cash on old, outdated weaponry! Our strategists have determined that, despite the temptation of buying old Soviet designs en masse, it is much more effective and intelligent to invest in smaller numbers of more advanced technologies.

If you would like, we could mobilize a group of security contractors to fly to your nation and help form a commission report on the shortcomings and assets of your military. After that we would remain around to aid you in filling the shortcomings and exploiting the assets. We could aid in construction military infrastructure (the base of any defensive network) and then supply you with a list of places to purchase technology adequate to your needs.

We can sell you, for the scrap metal cost + $12,000 ea. (for the wpns and engines), 37 DD-3055 MK1 Destroyers. These destroyers all look a bit diffrenet and are in different states of repair and have differnt electronics suites, but they all have 12 surface to air missiles, 2 20mm Phalanx guns and a 5 inch gun turret and more than half of them have helipads with a small service hangar for helicopters. So there you have it, buy them quick and we will fill them with fuel and ammo.

West Corinthia agrees to a degree with the Avalt Security International. While we do believe that modernization is the best way in the long run, we believe it is better and more efficient to wait until your country grows economically powerful enough to buy large quantities of modern weapons before you actually invest in them. Obviously, you have a small country and your defense budget is constricted. You could only afford small quantities of modern weapons. Therefore maybe 1/8 at most of your entire army has modern weapons and meanwhile what are the other 7/8 using for weapons because you couldn't afford modern weapons for them? Pitchforks? We say invest in older technologies now because it's what you can afford. Remember you have to equip your enitre army with a limited budget. Arm them with weapons you can afford and later, when you have enough money you can buy modern weapons for everyone. Also, if you bought modern weapons in small amounts on the budget you have now by the time you equipped your entire army the weapons would be completely outdated as well! Except now you've spent all your money and even more defenseless than before! We urge you to consider our offer. We may even be able to offer you more in the future.

OCC: I'm selling you M1s! Probably the most modern offer in this thread

If Drunken Puffins would rather equip their army with better, more advanced weapons, ASI could start a fund by donating 10 billion USD, and eventually build a powerful defensive force.
