La Danubo Respubliko du Pli Granda Hungario's military is in need of upgrade from the old Cold war tech.
budget:$258,945,905,126.25

Pli Granda Hungario's Armies Airforce:

looking for a multi-role fighter/bomber jet aircraft, capable of verticale takeoff, and easy to mass produce, if possible
also looking for a more manuverable helicopter gunship.
also looking for an anti-tank

Pli Granda Ground Forces:
looking for a more modern light and medium battle tank.

I will post and send a telegram on my decision.

for your airforce:
The Joint Strike Fighter is a VTOL stealth multirole that can be carrier borne
The apache longbow is always a fine, cheap option
The JSF is going to be the new real-life anti-tank, replacing the A-10 warthog

for your groundforce:
The israelis use the merkava 4 tanks as their medium tank, look into that. Abrahms never hurt anyone either.

The Nine Military Storefront (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=385183&page=1&pp=15) has everything you need to bring your military out of the cold war! Choose from Multi-role fighters like the VF-12, SX-24 and SF-37, As well as the AF-39 CAS fighter, Helicopters like the VCH-43, AH-71 and the classic AH-1X. Also take your pick of armored fighting vehicles like the Gorilla AIFV and Kodiak Main Battle Tank.

ICCD can custom fill any design requirements you may have.

Check out our Export office for some basic dian export goods.

Our arms tend to be 'heavier' due to increase in modern armour protection.

We have a standard medium mobile airlift tank feel open to post for specs etc..

Prices are at offer if we can meet your bid we will inform you.

Our attack helicopters are negros, we are currently in phase of designing a new make, we were hoping to purchase a new model however we havn't yet found one that fits our role within budget.

Our aircraft are fairly expensive though to export. you can tender a bid.

If you get us a number of how many of each unit you are looking for we can tell you if it is posible for us to fill your bid. Our medium tank may be a fit for you check out our export office or TG Intracircumcordei for more details

the Tirulian made UA-18 "Tourtis Cracker" is a multi role UAV. for about half the cost of an F-22, you'll get a remotely operated vehicle capable of carying the same payload with comprable range. The UA-18 is capable of carier landings as well as landing on a dirt runway (not VTAL, but all you need is a field with relativly short grass to set one down).

Additionaly the UA-18 is equipped with a state of the art electroniks sweat, and limited stealth capabilities.

because the UA-18 was originaly designed to engage tanks and other ground based targets it should perform exelently as an anti-tank aircraft. Additionaly because it is piloted remothely the UA-18 is capable of executing higher-G manuvers than maned fighters. In live-fire tests it perfomed comprably to most high end fighter-interceptors curently in use.

as for Helecopter gunships you should concider the SX-2 "Sky-fish". Not technicaly a helicopter, this craft uses a second generation enertial dampening system to operate as a lighter than air craft. It is capable of carying up to 3 times it's unlaiden mass (roughly 15 tons) in armarments and crew.

if however you would prefer true helecopters (perhaps for matananice reasons) we can supply you with a numer of used H-15 "Wraith" stealth helicopters.


(OOC: if you wanted real world equipment only, you should ignore this post)

We wish to show you the SuF-8 Phoenix Advanced Fighter Aircraft. It is capable of meeting all your requirements except the VTOL part. The SuF-8G Phoenix is capable of STOVL (Short take-off and vertical landing), though, and sells at the price of $165 million. We are willing to negotiate discounts and such for your nation, or if you wish for a custom version we are willing to mass produce it for you. Thank You.

Signed,
CEO/Chairman Sim Nam

Even though GAFE sells equipment that would help your nation, we are so pleased with this version of the SuF that we recommend it to Pli Granda Hungario. Buy some.

To La Danubo Respubliko du Pli Granda Hungario -
General Dynamics (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10720700&postcount=3) offers multiple tanks, including our M1A3 Abrams medium tank and our M127 Benjamin Grierson light battle tank. Attached are the specifications for both designs, for comparison purposes.
Sincerely,
Lewis Banks, CEO of GD

M1A3 Abrams
Abstract: In the modern world, one cannot afford to be standing still. This is the belief of General Dynamics, and so we have decided to upgrade the venerable M1A2 design to better suit the current market. Given advances in tank design, this incarnation of the Abrams is closer to a light tank than to a main battle tank; nonetheless, it is still effective in whatever role it will be put in.

Armament: The M1A3 carries a 115 millimeter ETC (Electro-Thermal-Chemical) gun, along with twenty-four smoke grenades, an M240G 7.62mm co-axial MG, and an M2HB .50" (12.7mm) roof-mounted machine gun for the commander. The ETC gun operates as follows: an electrical charge is used to control a pre-existing plasma that regulates the propellant; it produces higher muzzle velocities, and thus can penetrate more armor than a conventional weapon. The weapon is powered through a 600-volt battery; we used a smaller (115mm) caliber gun to accomodate the battery.

Turret: The turret of the M1A3 can rotate a full 360 degrees. The gun itself can move from -8 degrees elevation up to +32 degrees elevation.

Ammo: A total of 47 rounds of 115mm (4.53"/59 caliber) ammo can be loaded. These include APFSDS (sabot), HEAT, target practice, target practice - sabot, HE, advanced tungsten KE, and canister rounds.

Propulsion: One significant problem with the M1A2 was its fuel-hungry turbine engine. The M1A3 solves the problem by fitting in a 1,600 hp diesel engine, which cuts down on fuel costs and provides better torque than a turbine. We can also replace the diesel engine with a 1,600 hp biodiesel engine for an additional $600,000 US; the reduced cost on fuel may or may not make up for the increased up-front cost.

Armor: The M1A3 uses an improved version of chobham armor, consisting of four layers of a steel-titanium compound, with each layer sandwiched by PVC (polyvinyl chloride) to ease stresses. Depleted uranium rods have been fitted into the armor at strategic points to make the armor more rigid and improve its resistance.

M127 Benjamin Grierson Armored Gun System
Abstract: Meant to provide heavy fire support to cavalry units, the M127 Benjamin Grierson, named after a Civil War cavalry general, uses the L74 105mm (4.13"/62 caliber) rifled tank cannon previously used on the Stridsvagen 103. The M127 uses a modified M120 chassis and is more heavily armored than the M120. To keep up with the M121 Cavalry Fighting vehicle, the Continental AVDS-1790-9A 1,200 hp V12 diesel engine has been substituted for the original engine found in the M120 series.
