Rufous: The Discerning Nation's Anti-Supercapital Missile

Paid advertisement in Janes and many naval and aerospace journals by Devalt Industries


As supercapital battleships displacing upwards of ten million tons become more popular with the navies of the world, there is a need to counter them. This has often taken place through the Khan missile from Megacity Aerospace Systems and also marketed by the Kreigzimmer Export Company. There is no doubt that the Khan missile works, several tons of metal at Mach 11 will slice through any ship, but is it really the best option for a military that wants its money's worth?

Devalt Industries thinks it isn't, and have rolled out their own Rufous anti-ship missile (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=394). With an armor penetrating capability of 2.2 meters, over seven feet, the Rufous is more than capable of penetrating the armored decks of any ship on the sea, and can penetrate even the thickest armor of many supercapitals and superdreadnoughts.

Devalt Industries invites naval and air force leaders to consider the advantages of the Rufous missile over competitors:
The launch of a Rufous cannot be mistaken for a strategic weapons launch, with potentially apocalyptic results, as can the ICBM sized Khan
The Rufous is cheaper and weighs less than does Kreigzimmer's Sledgehammer II, while still capable of dealing lethal blows to enemy vessels
In its extended range version, incorporating conformal fuel tanks, the Sledgehammer is also further ranged than is the Sledgehammer II
The Rufous is appropriate for all ships in an enemy fleet, not just the superdreadnoughts
The Rufous is mobile, and capable of being fired from aircraft or, with the addition of a booster rocket, armored box launchers or sufficiently large VLS cells from surface vessels; no need for an expensive silo or launch pad
Integration of the Rufous is as simple as finding a hardpoint strong enough to hold it. Simply load Devalt's proprietary fire control program onto a PDA or laptop computer, connect to the aircraft's intercom, and the aircraft's UHF radio can send targeting information and launch commands to the missile
The Rufous possesses its own self-defense deception jamming capability, increasing its odds of getting through and increasing the effectiveness of your own electronic warfare aircraft supporting the attack
Two way datalinks permit operator intervention after missile launch or the use of the Rufous as a reconnaissance platform
The Rufous is already in international use and in use with the Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan and the Crown Imperium of Questers
The Rufous is AFFORDABLE, with the export version available for 4.3 million USD, a miniscule fraction of the cost of a Khan missile without any of the expensive support systems required for a Khan

The Imperial Navy/Air Force is heavily interested in the Rufous, and as such would like to place a preliminary order in the number of twelve-thousand (12,000) missiles, amounting to the price of $51,600,000,000 USD. If possible, this price will be paid in installments of $10 billion per month over the next six months until the price is fully covered. Another payment method can be negotiated if necessary. Upon confirmation of our order payments shall commence.

To: Cravan Imperial War Department
From: Devalt Industries

We would like to congratulate the Imperial War Department on its purchase of the Rufous anti-ship missile and look forward to many years of service with the Imperial military. The proposed payment plan is acceptable, however, due to Rosdivani regulations on the lending of of war materiel (War Neutrality Act of 1957), shipments of the weapon will coincide, in timing and number, with the six month payments. Alternatively, you may arrange for a loan with the Rosdivani government or bank which will pay the entirety of the contract at the beginning, repayments of the loan occuring on the the schedule that you brought forth. Typically, such a loan is given at only one-tenth of a percent, adding minimal cost to the original payment.

Sincerely,
James Rice

The loan will not be necessary; we have the proper funding to purchase the order in full. However, at the moment we have other priorities, and although the acqusition of these fine weapons is a high priority it does not require we immediately pay in full. Thus, spreading our payments frees up funding for more important projects as deemed by the Cravanian government.

We thank you for your offer, anyway.

The Rufous is appropriate for all ships in an enemy fleet, not just the superdreadnoughts

Are you sure? Missiles with such penetration are normally made to have a delayed explosion so that they can get through all that armor before detonating.

When it comes to thin-skinned real-life warships like destroyers and frigates, the missile will pass right through before it explodes...

OOC: Neo-Erusea: If you check out the link to the missile on the Draftroom, which contains the writeup, I took care of that already. A variety of fuzing options, including void sensing and pseudo-delay fuzes, exist to ensure that proper detonation occurs within the ship, and not after the missile has passed through, which would be a likely possibility on thinner skinned ships. Granted, if you're targeting it on a smaller ship, and fail to activate the proper sensors, it may go entirely through, though causing a good deal of damage in the process simply from kinetic energy

Unfortunately, we do not offer a license for foreign production of the Rufous missile. All examples of the Rufous missile are produced at our factories in the Rosdivani home islands or in the colony of Havenite Rosdivan.

Given our nation's past experience in battle against a Superdreadnought using nation, New Nicksyllvania, in which although we won the fight the enemy supercapitals largely escaped, we are most interested in a means of countering such extraordinary threats without need for recourse to strategic weaponry. Or, much less, to weapons which are too easily mistaken for strategic attacks such as ASBMs like Khan. Hence, the Rufous missile is of great interest to us indeed. We would like to order...

50,000 Air-launched, extended-range versions ($215 Billion USD)
30,000 Sub-launched, ER versions ($129 Billion USD)
40,000 VLS-launched, ER versions ($172 Billion USD)

Money stands ready for wiring upon order confirmation, and we thank you for developing such a quality and adaptable weapons system.

Saluations,

An accidental detonation at a weapons storage facility near the Karenko Arsenals has destroyed a number of indigenously designed and produced antishipping missiles with capabilities equivalent to those of the Rufous. Due to a political situation beyond our control, a number of replacement missiles are required faster than the factory can produce them.

It has thus been decided to acquire seven hundred fifty (750) Rufous AShMs to paper over the difficulties caused by the accident at Karenko Arsenals until means to replace those losses are in place. The appropriate funds have been earmarked for transfer upon confirmation of order and should the Rufous perform better than surviving examples of the indigenous AShM, you can expect additional, larger, procurement orders.

Regards,

We have received permission from His Imperial Majesty and the Ministry of Defense to purchase 5000 Rufous Missiles for employment in His Imperial Majesty's Armed Forces, to help bolster naval defense against large vessels. If such developments prove to be useful to us, we may return for additional purchases.

Whomever it may concern in Rosdivan,

It has come to my attention for my nation's requirements for a superior quality anti-shipping missile without the superfluous cost, and I must admit that after being directed to documents concerning the 'Rufous' missile, myself and staff of all branches of the armed forces were impressed.

I apologise for being utterly blunt in my communique, but I, on behalf of the Commonwealth Protectorate of Kriegorgrad, would like to place an order for 25,000 units of the 'Rufous' AShM to be delivered to Warrington shipyards posthaste. You can assume the funds [107.5 billion] will be transferred to your accounts if you are as gracious as to confirm the order.

Devalt Industries reports record quarter, stock jumps 23 pents per share

Devalt Industries, a major world arms manufacturer located in the Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan, reported third quarter revenues of 2.2 trillion USD, leading to a profit of 770 billion USD. Financial analysts attribute this to a spate of orders for the Rufous heavy anti-ship missile, which is expected to see further sales if the current NATO/Questerian Commonwealth tensions should boil over into war.

Announced third quarter sales of the Rufous totalled 56,750 missiles to Allanea, Olmedreca, Oily prata, Kriegorgrad, Daehanjeiguk, Russkya, and Siap. Reported revenues from this total 244.025 billion USD. Continuing undisclosed production for Questers and The Silver Sky has also aided revenue levels at Devalt.

From: Mr. White, foreign affairs officer

The Dominion of Emperor Pudu has long valued it's naval assets as one of it's premier international resources, and any opportunity to improve the capabilities of said forces is welcomed. We have done research into the Khan-class missile in the past and have decided independently not to pursue that avenue.

Your missile, however, is different. Without even looking at the cost, its improved versatility and simplicity interests us. Understanding that it is as affordable as it is, we have made the decision to purchase a large amount of said missiles, to equip both our airborne bomber units and the main battle fleets of the Dominion.

Specifically, we request from you;

Three-hundred and seventy-four thousand and four-hundred and fifty (374,450) Rufous-class anti-shipping missiles, for the marketed price of four-point-three million Universal Standard Dollars per unit.

This comes to a total of one-trillion, six-hundred and ten billion, one-hundred and thirty-five million Universal Standard Dollars ($1,610,135,000,000 USD). The money can be wired to your account as soon as the order is confirmed.

OOC: Due to lack of efficient IC ways to find this out, let me explain it. Most of this happened IC but are buried in dozens of threads.

The Leafanistani Mafia developed ties to Griffencrest Corporation, and they made a deal to seize some land to develop their own country, the Republic of the Red Islands.

Leafanistan isn't a member of the CA, nor has ever been and has repeatedly battled the Mafia and its terrorist allies. However, the Mafia established their own country on captured land and called themselves the Republic of the Red Islands.

General Resources Inc (before they conglomerated they were a mining company) was found to have been selling explosives through a cover organization selling farm equipment known at Tractor Depot. General Resources claims it had no idea the TNT it was selling wasn't going to Tractor Depot stores but actually to terrorists. The CEO resigns out of humilation and the company is bought out from Sierra Visions Inc. and they change their name to General Resources Conglomerate to reflect their new intention, they make everything.

In light of the time it would be required to take to produce our requested missiles, and the over-worked factories of Devalt Industries, the Dominion is prepared to offer it's own manufacturing capabilities.

Under supervision of Devalt engineers, the Dominion would be able to task a number of our own factories to the production of the remaining missiles.

We are willing to pay for this service, in addition to the primary cost, in favor of our method's greater speed, and ultimately, faster deployment of what will assuredly be an important weapon in times to come.

Thank you,

Good day,
Mr. White.

The Allied States Navy of Green Hawk would like to purchase 5,000 of these missiles. As you would guess this is to counter the threat of large ships that regular means have no affect on. The Navy would like all of the missiles to have extended range and most to be air launched capable with about half of the missiles being capable of launch from surface ship weaponry. The 21,500,000,000 USDs will be wired upon order conformation. Thank you.

To; Whomever it may concern

The Animarnia Defence Ministry would like to purchase the rights to 120,000 Missiles; 50,000 of which will be the Air Launched Variant, 45,000 to be VLS with Booster variant and 25,000 Sub Launched Missiles. If possible we would like to enter a contract to have our stocks replenished annually to keep our stocks at 120,000. We believe your Ant-Super Dread Missile will compliment our own Domestic medium attack Quicksilver anti Shipping Missile quite well. Though we ask is your missile capable of being fired from our Modified AH-64E Sea Apaches? This order should come to around 51.6 Billion USD

Pudu, that's acceptable and I'll arbitrarily say that it'll shave 1.5 years off of production time.

Animarnia, it will not be capable of launch from an AH-64, it weighs almost as much as one for that matter.

The Crystal Mountains, a booster rocket like those on the VLS equipped ones would allow it to fire from a coastal launcher.

Seeing the pure tactical and strategical value the Refous AS Missile gives to a naval fleet, the Nueve Italian Imperial Navy is interested in acquiring 1,000 of these missiles for test trials. If the weapon proves satisfactory, the Holy Imperial Republic would like to come to a trade deal where this weapon will be provided at a steady pace, for profit of course.

The final cost of such a transaction would be 43 Million USD

To the Offices of Devalt Industries

For the people of the Democratic Colonies, the sea is our lifeline. Without safe and secure oceans, our nation would be cut off from food, from oil, from the imports and exports that make life possible in our nation. The Democratic Colonies depends on sea and thus depends on the DC Navy for its very survival, and so today I would like to place an order for Rufous Anti-Ship Missiles in order to ensure that the seas remain free and the Democratic Colonies continues to thrive and grow.

The Federated Union of Democratic Colonies would like to order 500,000 Rufous Anti-Ship Missiles for a total of $2,150,000,000,000.

We would also like a constant replenishment agreement, wherein every month replacements for any Rufous Missiles that may have been expended are immediately purchased and shipped to the Democratic Colonies to restore our stocks.

It is the hope of myself, the DC Navy, and the people of the Democratic Colonies that these missiles will never be fired in anger, but as the world continues to change and technology continues to evolve, so must we if we are to maintain our liberty.

Sincerely yours,
Sir Bruce Davison
