Hotdogs2 believes Revavlostok is making an excellent effort in strengthening their nations defence capabilities, however we are concerned that you are damaging your economy with 3% of your population in the military.

We also fear your logistics may not be as capable as you would be necessary if you ever needed to wage a war other than within your own nation. We believe this because it seems to us that your airforce and Navy seem badly prepared logistically.

We would definatly suggest you increase logistical supplies to both your airforce and Navy.

Another issue is that we see a major problem in both paying your personell and keeping them well trained as your budget/personell is below $6000 USD, hardly enough to pay them the average wage and equip them.

OOC: If i were you i'd cut your military down say in half and try to get your economy and defence budget higher. Also your logistics:troops is slightly messed up, as for 500 aircrew of that type you would need around 10,000 personell working on a 1:19 ratio (thats about the RL ratio) and your navy will also need a lot of logistics(not so sure about RL ratios here).

Also having both US and UK equipment is a bad move as they use different electronics etc(aircraft im looking at mainly) and make it more expensive to repair etc.

Good effort, excellent from a 6mil nation :)

[OOC: If you aren't training your military to maintain 3 different kidns of aircraft, you may as well not have one. The UK/US mix is fine.]

OOC: I'd personally disagree, its not the issue of being able to keep them going, its just IMO its a better idea if your using the Tornado to use the GR1's and F3's as they have a higher system compatability because if your budget is low producing things for 200 of the same aircraft is cheaper than 100 for each seperate type.

But yes, then again a normal airforce would have a lot of different designs to run :P
