Due to the need to replace losses in the recent fighting in Xeraph we would like to purchase 100 MBT-30s. We would also like to purchase 50 of the the A-7A light tanks in the amphibian version. We would normally purchase domestic built armor but due to Tarlags military having to replace its own losses in the fighting we are having to look to outside sources.
We would only need two small changes made to the MBT-30 The first would be replacing the PKMT and mounting with a HK 21E and mounting. The other change is replacing the Kord 12.7 HMG with a 5.56 mm XM214/ six-pak Mini-Gun.
The money will be wired on acceptence of this order.

We would like to purchase 500 for a total of $4,500,000,000, funds will be wired upon confrimation.

To: Czechalrus; Manufacturers of the MBT-30 Tank
From: Asgarnian Army Land Warfare Committee
Subject: Purchase

Greetings. Asgarnieu is currently in the market for a lighter tank than what we currently use as an MBT.

We see great opportunity for the MBT-30 in our armed forces as a light reconniassance tank.

With that said, we place an order of ten thousand (10,000) MBT-30 tanks; which will recieve a the new designation LRT-30.

The total cost of our order, should it be confirmed, is $90,000,000,000.00 USD.

With that said, we have a few requests. We would like you to (if possible) modify the tank to meet our specifications for it.

If possible, we request to have a 105mm non-ETC smoothbore cannon be mounted instead of the overly-powerful 135mm ETC. As opponents of the ETC system, we are not capable of utilizing it, only defending ourselves from it.

We would also like to have the 12.7mm HMG replaced with a 14.5mm HMG.

If these modifications are possible, we would be greatly pleased. If not, we request permission to perform the modifications ourselves.

Thank you for considering our order and for your time.

Respectfully,

Kim S. Anxos
Commander of the Asgarnian Army
