We wish to say again that the F/A-15D is the finest fighter plane that the Air Force has flown, and that it served it's purpose, to fill the gap, until the homegrown Calizorinstani company ARDC F-9/A/B/C/D/F/G/T "Barracuda" could enter service, our 250 F/A-15D's, have been transferred to the Calizorinstani Army and Marine Corps after having a good service life. It has served us well in 4 of our civil wars, in 2 wars against our northern enemies the Khilistani, the Dominion Commonwealth vs Questers standoff, and it sank 6 Lerasian destroyers in the Lerasian detainment crisis, thus totaling 8 conflict's we have used it in.

You may feel free to use this as a customer testimony, since we were the first export customer of this fine aircraft.

History

The FA 15 Project began early in the new century, to phase out earlier Candrian fighters of varying quality and establish a strong, adaptable air wing. Because of the limited number of seats in the Candrian Airforce, with most personell and funding tied up in advanced projects or in bureaucratic purgatory, the decision to go with a pure air superiority fighter was scratched and instead the program outlines dictated the creation of a strike fighter, filling many of the vacuums in Candrian air power; notably the lack of any dedicated attack platforms, as well as capable fighters. The aircraft was to take a slant towards being a fighter, and having close air support take a secondary role, akin to the old American F14 Tomcat. A myriad of design considerations were scrapped, until finally, in 2011, the FA 15 Cardinal program was begun in earnest.

Rumors and rumblings of the Cardinal bearing a ground attack capability caught the attention of several other defense forces in the Empire, including the NAVINF and the independent spec-ops outfit SPARTA. Navy brass inquired as well, but upon hearing the expected dimensions of the aircraft, pulled back, opting instead to retain the FA 11 Deacon fighter and order development for it's own successor fighter. NAVINF and SPARTA have submitted orders for the aircraft, already spreading it's wings over many branches of the Candrian Militiary.

Leaked schematics of the design also generated interest well before design plans were completed, prompting GEM Aerospace to prod the Military Consulate for permission to sell the aircraft to foreign governments. The Consulate obliged, as it was really a win-win situation - GEM gets its name out in the global defense market, while the world gets to see Candrian military design prowess.

Mission & Role

The FA 15 Cardinal is not so much a strike fighter as much an air superiority fighter with effective ground attack capability. Much of it's gear is tuned for high speed & long ranged dog fights. To facilitate close air support, the aircraft uses it's high lift to deliver munitions from a more stable platform; slowing down to retain accuracy. The aircraft's lifeblood is air to air combat.

Airframe

The Cardinal uses a compound delta wing configuration with leading edge root extensions; essentially a triple-delta. With the addition of canards and 'ruddervators', the Cardinal achieves extremely high lift at low speeds, ideal for short runway operation - a requirement for domestic service. The canards can be swept inwards at speed and the ruddervators dropped downwards to reduce drag at speed, allowing the brutish engines to push the FA 15 close to Mach 3. The aircraft utilizes full-axis thrust vectoring, which, beyond the traditional scope of thrust vectoring systems, allows for thrust reversing. Small fins above and infront of the control surfaces of the wings create vortices, making the air "stick" to them better, improving lower-speed control; these are specially designed, and do not interfere with the boundry layer at speed, minimizing their effect on drag. The engines are widely spaced, and combined with the general airframe, generate additional lift. The aircraft thus has superb manuverability and handling at a wide range of speed.

The core of the aircraft is built using mostly low-weight, (relatively) low cost alloys like AlLi (also composing the skin), giving the aircraft a strong frame. SOCADI was selected for the wingbox and wing skeleton, allowing the wings to support a large amount of weight. The skin is AlLi, using a small amount of CFRP, mostly for panels towards the rear of the aircraft. High stress parts like the engine bays and landing gear were also fashioned out of SOCADI, due to the material's high strength characteristics. The high-stress airframe can take loads up to 15g's; to take advantage of this, a Libelle-style g suit is recommended, such as that in service in the CAF.

With the various methods to defeating stealth already in existence, it was seen that trying to defeat radar in design was, well, self-defeating - the design would only be able to beat certain types of air defense radars, and compromise for stealth would cut into manuverability. As such, stealth was ruled out, and the focus of the design was on manuverability.

Powerplant

Powering the aircraft are two GEM a919 VBT engines, delivering up to 31,220 kgf each, without afterburner. The engines are huge; weighing a good 3,520 kg a piece; and they like to drink, curtailing the aircraft's range without external fuel tanks. With this in mind, the aircraft was designed with space for 3 external tanks.

With the force that these engines generate, maintence to the airframe is especially important; left unchecked, the frame will warp signifigantly and can negatively effect flight characteristics.

Avionics

Information and mission objectives are fed into the primary flight computers, multiprocessor interlinked computers located behind and underneath the crew. These computers process the myriad of information the internal and external systems aquire, onboard mission data, battlenet information, and any other relevant data, and displays the information on a forward laser HUD, through the all-glass cockpit display, and into the helmet-based transparent PLED HIMUD display. The fly-by-light system implemented in the aircraft's controls allows for a programmable & emergency autopilot, ensuring the saftey and fighting readiness of the crew. Navigation features automatic GPS correcting, keeping the inertial navigation system accurate while under satellite coverage. All this is covered by a two-layered laminated plastic canopy.

Defensive countermeasures intergrated in the design of the Cardinal include the C95 system - combining an radar early warning system,jamming, and blinding featured in the forward and rear radars, a chaff dispensing system situated between the engines, and IR blinding systems. All systems based on early warning, jamming, or blinding use the aircraft's own detecting systems, similar to an even more intergrated SPECTRA.

Detecton

Mounted within the nosecone is the GFXXaero Phased Dome Array Radar, a band-hopping (IEEE X, V, W, NATO M) AESA system with the ability to individually detect 36 objects and target 14 bomber-sized objects up to 310 km away from the aircraft in the X-band. The dome shape allows targeting in every direction except directly behind the aircraft, leaving a small conic blindspot. This is covered by the GFXi radar array housed in the rear spike, a scaled down version of the forward array. This radar can independently detect 32 objects and target 8 bomber sized objects 230 km around it. Combined, these radar arrays, covering essentially the entire area around the aircraft out to over 200 km, can maintain a lock on an target without interfering with further mission objectives; meaning a radar-guided munition can stay on course without further crew intervention, a sort of pseudo 'fire and forget.' This, along with the multi-band nature of the radar, allows the aircraft to see through most stealth designs, countering their advantage of surprise and tilting the battle firmly in the Cardinal's favor. Utilizing the HIMUD's targeting capability, the crew of the Cardinal can attain a targeting solution for anything surrounding the aircraft using it's two spherical-section AESA radars. Targets can be filtered by threat level or mission objective.

Tucked under the right root extension is a dome containing IR, TV, & NV equipment for ground targeting, the MOTS system. Using this system, the Carinal can paint a target either for its own laser-targeted munitions or for other friendly forces, giving it an all-weather precision ground attack capability. The rotating dome can maintain a lock on a target anywhere under the aircraft, and with the uplink to the SaBOCAD Battlenet, can recieve data from other targeting systems and friendly forces.

Armament

The Cardinal has a total of 17(!) hardpoints; 3 under each wing, one on each wingtip, one slung under each engine bay, two recessed into each engine bay, one on the centerline, and two forward of the centerline hardpoint. There are no internal bays. The large number of hardpoints allows the Cardinal to carry over 15,000 kg of munitions. Every hardpoint is capable of carrying guided muinitions, including smart bombs, as well as iron bombs.

The primary cannon of the aircraft is the Mettel DBG30/190 30 mm cannon, a double-barreled Gast-mechanism cannon, capable of laying out rounds at 3,700 RPM. Using this in combination with the MOTS dome allows for correction, improving accuracy on strafing runs.

The Confederacy of Liberal Men and Women is interested in acquiring eight (8) FA-15 Cardinals for our para-military defense/law enforcement branch. We also wonder if camo-painting is still available, and if so would like to request a simple matte black paint job with no roundal. The required 1,783,416,000 credit chits (equivalent to the necessary $938,640,000) will be wired upon receipt of order confirmation.

The Unified Defense Force of the Confederacy of Liberal Men and Women Air Defense Force is interested in purchasing another 16 FA-15s to give us two full squadron of these wonderful aircrafts. The required 3.4 million credit chits, equivalent to $1,877,280,000, will be wired on confirmation of the order

We would also like to take this time to remark on the performance of these wonderful aircraft. In training, they have a wonderful record against our wing of 72 CF-10e (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Cairhienen_Corporation/CF-10) fighters (export version of a backwards-engineered F-4 Phantom II made by our trading partner). In exercises, they have a kill:loss ratio of over 10:1, and even less experienced pilots of them fare well. As a purely defensive organization of a relatively small, peaceful nation, we have had both unfortunately and fortunately little chance to test these planes in action, but are sure they will fare wonderfully.

As we grow, we are certain to need to expand, and will certainly consider further use of these magnificent planes, for our trading partner is only just restarting military production and unfortunately inexperienced in design and construction of jet fighter aircraft.

Upgrade Package Model D (Block XXI)

FA 15D - Desert Breaker camoflauge (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v251/Gizeh/FA-15D.png)

The D Model upgrade package of the FA 15 is a primarily electronics and structural upgrade, designed to boost the aircraft's capability and flexibility. The aircraft is now more formidable than ever, capable of engagements that most other modern fighters would be too short on manuverability, detection, and firepower to deliver.

Airframe, Powerplant, & Aerodynamics

The upgraded airframe swaps out the alloy skin with SOCADI steel, and utilizes 5 mm thicker skeletal components in the construction, still fashioned out of SOCADI steel. The stronger skin allows it to be a stressed component of the airframe in a limited capacity, allowing higher payloads, increased practical agility, and higher top speeds, passing the mach 3.

The air intakes are modified - the rear intake slots of the B and C models are adapted on the D model to allow the aircraft a reverse flight ability.

To improve overwing airflow, a boundry fence is added at the point where the wing changes sweep, preventing cross-boundry flow and allowing the compound delta design to operate more efficiently. The fence blends into the wing, rising minimally over the chord, being considerably more pronounce at the leading edge. This and the overnose MOTS sensor are the two most noticable modifications to the aircraft, usefull in distinguishing it from it's predecessors.

The efficiency of the engines is increase with a few tricks. Before being burned, the fuel lines pass close to the turbine stages of the engines, allowing them to heat up and thus improve fuel efficiency. The last few discs of the III stage compressors are replaced with a counterrotating centrifugal compressor, increasing the amount of air pumped into the combustion chamber while adding in controlled turbulent flow, resulting in a better fuel-air mixture, a cleaner burn, and higher efficiency.

Avionics

The cockpit bubble now includes a layer of OLEDS sandwiched between the laminated bubbles, allowing a fully active canopy without the need of lasers while maintaining clear visibility. This fully active display can clearly mark out an opposing aircraft detected on radar, useful in low visibility. In addition, flight instruments can be shown in the canopy, greatly increasing pilot awarness and improving saftey in instrument flight rules conditions.

The existing aerodynamic and electrical components of the wings are rewired to be utilize as an aerolastic wing, allowing increased manuverability and higher effective wing loading. The aircraft can now even more so effectively utilize it's high stress rating to pull off incredible feats of acrobatics, giving it the edge in a dogfight.

The current aerodynamic features of the aircraft, combined with the upgrade, allows the aircraft to perform some rather interesting feats, such as 'knuckleballing' - the pilot takes erratic, seemingly random motions while still moving forward at a constant airspeed, all the while the aircraft changes altitude and lateral displacement considerably in what can be best described as a horizontal controlled stall. Such manuvers would wreak havoc on manned weaponary and anti-aircraft artillery and missles, increasing the pilot's chances for victory.

Detection

The individual dies that compose the GFxx and GFxi radars are half-dollar sized dies, quite large considering conventional AESA dies are roughly the size of a quarter. These dies, however, contained 4 different frequency arrays, and were capable of working simultaniously, considerably increasing effectiveness over standard AESA radars. However, their large size meant that the arrays were farther apart, causing distortion at long ranges. This effectively limited the GFxx radar to a maximum range out to 310 km forward for objects with large radar cross sections in the range of bomber-sized objects, however the radar is foolproof within range.

A recent breakthrough in solid state technology, including the use of carbon-carbon chip wafers, drastically reduces the size of the arrays, their cooling requirements, and power usage. As a result, more dies can be packed into the new radars, they can be packed closer together, and have higher detection integrity. The successor to the GFxx, the GFVx, packs over 7000 arrays, each smaller than a nickle, in the hemispherical shape, as opposed to the GFxx's 4114. With nearly double the amount of arrays, the GFVx can see forward nearly 500 km like an eagle, spotting bomber sized objects even further away. The GFVi housed in the rear can now see over 350 km back, providing an effective early detection system.

Mounted over the nosecone of the aircraft is a second MOTS dome - smaller, and suited to air to air engagements, like the IRST on old Russian aircraft, except more versatile. This system can engage either actively or passively, allowing surprise attacks without having the fore and rear radars active at all. With the use of both systems in concert, a single FA 15D can engage two targets at once without activating its radar; with other MOTS systems and IR designators in play, a single Cardinal can detect and track a total of 20 targets in a 360 degree arc without any active radar at ranges out to 25 km, posing a major threat to enemy aircraft in close engagement without any fully active systems in play. With the radars active, and it's game over.

Subject: Vetakan Purchase of Domestic Production Rights

Due to the overwheleming success of the FA 15 Advanced Strike Fighter Vetaka has decided to enquire as to wether it would be possible to purchase the Domestic Production Rights for the FA 15 so that we may produce it for our own domestic usage. We would not sell them on to any thrid party. Would this be possible? If so we would like a full and total price for everything that is required to produce the FA 15

Thank You and Best Regards

Domestic production rights are calculated on a case by case basis. Currently, for you it stands at $65,000,000,000 for licensing; the current going rate for the component construction machinery reaches $312,465,000,000 and includes all the necessary components to construct the D and E models independently of GEM Aerospace Corporation. DPR licensing is for unlimited construction. Any usage of the materials outside of the base aircraft components and other licensed and permissible usages will result in political, economic, and potentially military intervention.

GEM and MC officials must be present on the factory floor to ensure quality control. If these conditions are accepted, you may establish a factory within your country under your control.

Domestic production rights are determined on a case by case basis. After your nation's assessment, DPR lisencing fees come to $70,000,000,000; again, the machinery fees come to $312,465,000,000. Unfortunately, this is considerably more than your nation can currently spend as per its defense budget. We do have wiggle room, however. As the machinery is a commercial-commercial transaction rather than military industry-military, it can be legally passed as a government commercial venture (and thus paid for); that however leaves the issue of the licensing fee. We are willing to accept a deferred payment plan for the licensing fee.

Remember, the machinery must be used soley for the purposes of the construction of the FA 15D; and can only be used for other purposes if agreed upon. GEM engineers are to be on hand to ensure QC, and Military Consulate officials are to be on hand to prevent espionage. Breach of terms will result in strict economic, political, and possibly military intervention.

Didn't want a roundel (Haven't made one. No idea what I'd do.). It sort of defeats the purpose of the dark black camo, that's supposed to be invisible at night, or as close as possible to it. "Wait I can't see the fighter, but I can see it's bright roundel. I'll aim for that!."

This aircraft is designed to protect a large amount of airspace, so in terms of naval usage it would find itself as part of the air arm of a large naval fleet featuring extremely large carriers well more than capable of taking the weight.

The next two aircraft I'll design will be a small single engine fighter incorporating some of the technology of this aircraft ala F-16, and a VTOL close air support aircraft. Both those aircraft will be carrier friendly - actually, designed and optimised for carrier use. In fact, I might combine the two aircraft, save some space in the carrier fleet. Then, of course, there's also the superbomber... but that won't be done for a while.
OOC: Both sound awesome, and you could go with what IRL they're doing on the F-35 JSF; the light fighter having both CTOL and STOVL versions depending on the variant. I'd certainly order both, as things stand (see below...).

Having seen firsthand the effectiveness of the Cardinal in Vetakan use during the Swan Rebellion, we're convinced that we would be remiss not to take advantage of the formidable capabilities available to the F/A-15. Hence, we'd like to order the following to fully re-equip the Red Banner Marine Corps Aviation Division carrier wings for each of our five Fleets...

15,000 F/A-15E Block XXI
Modifications requested: Provision for Su-33 style retractable probe/drogue refuelling fit, to match our Il-78M Midas refuelling aircraft.
Total: $2,197,950,000,000 USD

We can handle this buy, if not too much more from our budget excepting domestic logistical purchases; and we feel it is our top priority at present given what we may face soon. Delivery time estimates are requested, both for total order completion and especially for when the first 9,000 should arrive. Here is our roundel (http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p7/phnx28/NationStates%20Pictures/wagdog_roundel.jpg) for the wings, and our fin flash (http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p7/phnx28/NationStates%20Pictures/wagdog_flash.jpg) for the vertical strake areas at the rear; our camouflage being generally flat air-superiority grey like the Vetakan Defense Forces use.

Despite a competition between our companies within the borders of the Confederacy (which you are almost certainly unaware of. We are trying to win the contract for the next confederate fighter air craft, which still won't be a match for the F/A-15, but won't be as far behind as our current generation CF-14s and in this, we hope to beat out you FA-16s and the company which designed the CF-14), we would like to offer you the services of our company in sourcing computer components for your air craft. Check our product catalog (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Jeffersonian_Engineering_Corporation), and if you wish to purchase any of our wares, we can offer you pricing since it varies depending on size of order and necessary decoder properties.

OOC: Simply put, a company in my country is offering you the option of purchasing computer components for your... well anything. A quick translation of what our CPUs can do is massively SMP (multiple processors running independent programs) and reverse hyper threading (allowing those multiple processors run one program really quickly). Good for situations requiring near-real time monitoring of many factors, like what is necessary to keep Fly-By-Wire fighters stable, or a UCAV airborne, which is how this company is looking to get an edge into the fighter market. They can also be designed to make use of custom instruction sets allowing them to replace your current hardware without rewriting your code at all. I have large amounts of free time if you couldn't tell...
I don't have large amounts of money (due to a low tax rate), but I can offer this type of support for your great designs. We also manufacture basically everything, so if there is anything you are having trouble sourcing, we might be able to help.

(EDIT: Although we could talk to JEC about EMP protection...)

OOC: EMP protection (for the most part) is actually not hard. Most military hardware is EMP shielded, against certain forms of EMP because different frequencies require different faraday cage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage) designs. However, communication and RADAR equipment is hard to shield(because the shield is not selectively permeable), but we could help you out. The idea with those two is to shield against common EMP frequencies, and use more exotic communication frequencies. It would help. However, the best way to avoid EMPs screwing with your hardware is to be far away...

Thank you for selecting the Cardinal - and my, what an order! Luckily, it has been approved by the Military Consulate for foreign export; as such, expect production to be considerably ramped up to meet demand. The first 9,000 aircraft can be built and delivered within 4 weeks; the rest will come within 6 weeks. As requested, these aircraft will be fitted with a retractable telescoping probe located to the left of the cockpit for IFR.

(OOC: It'll take some time for me to draw the aircraft w/ roundel & such - check LINC and you'll see why.

I've also decided to go ahead and combine the two aircraft; it'll now be the FA-16 Priest; a bit larger than the F 35 to fit more fuel, higher payload, and a stronger engine - essentially an engine from the a9xxII family, the same monster powering the Cardinal.)
OOC: Don't worry about multiple camo schemes, since my Army and Navy both use basic air-superiority grey like Vetaka (as said before) with just the national and unit markings. Also, I've taken a look at the FA16 Priest and it's pure pwn4ge; so good job!:D Buying that when it's out will allow me to rationalize some of my air force organization, since I can combine Fighter and Attack wings into one type and simply double the number of units without any more cost than buying/maintaining the aircraft and (re)training the personnel involved.

Delivery of our Marine FA-15E Cardinals has been long completed by now and training on our new fighters is well underway, with the reception so far being quite enthusiastic. Especially so for the greater degree of interoperability with the VDF that this purchase confers on us, which is highly appreciated by our pilots in the field.
Since Domestic Production Rights prices are calculated on a national-assessment basis, we would like to inquire as to what would be a fair price for both Block XXI licensing rights and production tooling in our specific case; seeing as we would like to be able to handle our own attrition replacements at least, even if down the road we can assure you of substantial follow-on orders for this and other aircraft all the same.

Speaking of which, to begin the process of modernizing our Army Air Force proper, we'd like to purchase some 5,000 more Cardinals in the FA-15D (Block XXI) model; again with the same refuelling modifications given to our E models already delivered. We believe this would come to $706,670,000,000 USD, onto which if we are approved for DPRs you can simply tack on our individually-assessed price thereof at your discretion. Our thanks to you for providing such excellent aircraft and service, which we can say for sure have piqued our interest in whatever new items you may develop down the road.

OOC: EMP protection (for the most part) is actually not hard. Most military hardware is EMP shielded, against certain forms of EMP because different frequencies require different faraday cage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage) designs. However, communication and RADAR equipment is hard to shield(because the shield is not selectively permeable), but we could help you out. The idea with those two is to shield against common EMP frequencies, and use more exotic communication frequencies. It would help. However, the best way to avoid EMPs screwing with your hardware is to be far away...

OOC: See, that's the thing - detection equipment, the VHF & SHF com antennae, and pretty much anything else exposed to the exterior aren't protected. The rolled electron welded metal skin functions as a faraday cage for most of the internal electrics; but lacking that detection equipment, the Cardinal's blind. Protecting the radar is particularly tough, considering it's a band-hopper - it has the ability to operate 'simultaniously' in multiple frequencies (X, V, W, K-a in domestic models). The MOTS domes are protected by interlaced gold strands ala F117 canopy, but that can't see out to 400km.

Hydrogen fusion based EMP weaponry is used in relatively closed proximity in NS; as a result this thing needs to be protected. If you can find a way to do that, expect collaboration for a Block XXIV & XXV upgrade.

DPR licensing comes in at 62 billion USD; machine costs are $319,472,000,000, with the proper machinery to produce the Block XXII modification (telescoping probe for in-flight refueling). GEM engineers and Military Consulate officials are to be on hand to maintain QC and prevent technology theft. The machinery may only be used in the manufacture of FA 15 A/D/E fighters and components, and any future modifications allowed for public export.

The only way to shield (In MT anyway) is to build a Faraday cage for that frequency and use exotic RADAR and Com frequencies. My best suggestion is two separate RADAR systems, a primary standard RADAR which would be fried, and a less effective secondary exotic RADAR array. That, or apparently if you take a step back, you can use vacuum tube based equipment which is less vulnerable (Which is how the Soviets ran things). The Vacuum tubes are less space efficient, but can be adapted with modern technology to not have too much of a negative impact.

Also, a good thing to note is that if a nuke is detonated less than 10km in the air, the EMP effects outside of the explosive radius is practically nil. In addition, a fusion bomb has ~1/5th the EMP per yield of a pure fission design, and the EMP only increases with the square root of the yield (ergo, with some math I'm to lazy to take out of wikipedia, a 10kt fission bomb could have up to 40% of the EMP of a 1.4 Mt thermonuclear bomb).

As for the weapons side, the Confederacy uses non-nuclear means of generation (we have a nuclear program but a vehemently against nuclear weapons. We can build them, but we don't see the need to since their only purpose is mass death of non-combatants.), and as such can vary the frequency of the EMP by changing the antennae used, which can allow us to overcome shielding (by detonating with those frequencies), but it is moot, since our main use is that of shutting down cities with minimal life loss.

(I may have gotten somewhat off topic...)

An idea just occurred to me. What if one created their own EMP of the proper frequency around the fighter. If an antennae integrated into the hull (directing the EMP away from the fighter) and a large enough capacitor bank (impractical MT, but possible non the less), it is possible the two waves would cancel out, if done correctly. It wold be, in essence, energy shields. It probably wouldn't work, but that's what experimental technologies are: crazy ideas that are worth a shot because what if they do work.

OOC: From what I understand (very limited) something like that would require prediction. It would be along the same lines of active stealth cancellation.

For a large enough missle, however, and enemies known to use certain frequencies, I can see something like active EMP & radar cancellation being possible... or at least far closer to practicality. Unfortunately, there's the whole timing deal.

...

um...

yeah.

FA 16 ready hopefully by Wensday.

Exactly impractical. But then again, installing directed EMP systems can have other uses (such as stopping missiles rather than EMP). The timing isn't that bad (computers are amazingly useful for things like that), but the frequency is again the huge problem. But who knows, it might not work at all. It's just vague memories of half a year of physics from four years ago combined with too much time on wikipedia.

Oh, btw, my point about the conflict between companies was not at all to imply that you're designing a fighter for us, but more that we would consider your fighter against the two native developments. Also, as nice as the FA-16 looks, the Confederacy probably will not purchase any since it fills a segment that other (notably cheaper) planes fulfill in our air force. While the FA-16 might outperform them, the purchases of the FA-15 were for the absolute top end of our air force, and we don't particularly need anything in the middle area, when we're perfectly capable of designing our own fighters in that general performance segment. But perhaps, we will if it proves to be worth it over the X-1 (will be called CF-16) and X-2 (will be called J-2) craft.

We are absolutely delighted to hear that the FA-15 has met your testing requirements! Your followup order has been approved by the Military Consulate for export; the parts and necessary components have been shipped as well as the fabrication tooling to allow you to construct them. The necessary expertise in the form of several GEM officials have also been transfered and are underway - of course, we merely ask they be given accommodation for the period of fabrication. Thank you for selecting GEM aerospace.

We are so pleased with these aircraft, that we are placing an order of 2,500 F/A-15D models, for 353 billion dollars to equip our Air Force, this is by far one of the most popular aircraft among the pilots of the Calizorinstanian Air Force, we have wired you the money promptly for payment,

Signed

... AFAIK you don't have a sovereign government. GEM would not be allowed to sell to a government in exile.

Well, the occupation is officially over. So could you please reinstate our order? We still whish to acquire some of these amazing aircraft; we'll even throw in an extra two billion dollars for the previous issues. So 100 F-15 ASF's at 13.5 billion, is that acceptable?

Sincerley,
George Wilco
Commanding General of the CFEI Air Force

To: GEM Aerospace
From: Vice Admiral Alexandra Tripp, Aequatian Republic Navy and Marine Corps Aviation Command Procurement Committee Chairman

The Aequatian Republic Navy and Marine Corps require a suitable strike fighter to replace the F/A-39 Enforcer aircraft already in service and we feel, after careful consideration, that the FA-15E Cardinal fulfills our operational requirements sufficiently. We wish to request that they are produced in Aequatio with the following modifications made to the aircraft. A total of two thousand (2,000) would be required to fulfill our current needs.

Replacement of Mettel DBG30/190 with Russkyan AAC/SB-DF 01 30mm automatic cannon.
Integration with Illiorian AIM-133A Star Seeker AMRAAM and A.M.I. AIM-196B Starfire AQMAAM. In addition to other A.M.I. weapon systems.
Replacement of GFXXaero Multiband Dome Phased-Array Tracking & Targeting Radar with APG-127 Active Electronically Scanned Array Radar (AESAR).
Removal of rear-mounted GFXiaero Multiband 3D Phased Array Tracking & Targeting Radar
Replacement of AOC Fly-by-light digitalized control and HIMUD Helmet Intergrated HUD with the AAI Advanced Crew Station and Joint Helmet-Mounted Queuing System, respectively.
Replacement of Multiband Optical Targeting System (MOTS) Thermal, TV, Laser Targeting & Designation with VLD Ground Targeting Suite with ASQ-337 Forward-Looking Infrared Targeting Suite (FLIRTS).
Replacement of C95 EADS2 Intergrated Defense Countermeasures System with AN/ALQ-214 RFCM (Radio Frequency Countermeasures) and AN/ALQ-123 IDECM (Integrated Defensive Countermeasures) Suites.

Thank you for selecting GEM aerospace and the FA 15 Cardinal - it's a mark of respect when a country with a strong military-industrial complex such as yours selects a foreign company. As a matter of course, this order has been approved by the Military Consulate for foreign export. All the requested modifications can be easily carried out on-sight during fabrication in Aequatio, provided there are no balance issues. For manufacture in Aequatio, parts and loan machinery are now enroute, as well as GEM and Military Consulate officials to oversee the manufacturing process and maintain quality control. Thank you for selecting GEM aerospace.

(TCM, you're confirmed too...)

Note: If you wonder why we order such seemingly odd numbers of aircraft, those numbers are multiples of 12, our basic squadron size. In this case we are adding 24 squadrons of FA-15d. Cheers.
