Armament:

Ability to carry ten AAM's. (Usually ten "Dragon I".)

AGM's- (Internal Pylons)

2-6 AGM's. (Usually two "Jero" LGB, and four "Dragon II")

Note: this Armament set is optional, you can mount the aircraft with your own weapons, as long as he can can carry them.

Electronic Systems:

1. BCASVLS (Breiga Combat Aircraft Secured Voice Link System)- the BCASVLS system is simple, yet efficent, system to maintain a secured voice chat with other connected aircraft. The system also enables communication with various ground installations, and a message while approaching airport identified as friendly (by information entered to the system by the pilot prior to the flight). The system can be ordered to connect to small ground devices (that can be given to military personnel) enabling to create communication with ground soldiers, who can pass reports though their devices to the aircraft. An aircraft with this system can be used as flying communication center, transfering messages between ground soldiers to the HQ, or back.

2. ASDS (Aircraft Status Displaying System)- the ASDS is basically an screen with electronic system that shows the pilot how much fuel is left, for how much time its enough, the status of the engine, technical problems, etc. if connected, the ASDS system can display information about a friendly aircraft (receiving information from the other aircraft system).

3. GFOI (Ground Friendly Object Identification) – the GFOI system is doing one simple thing. It is recognizing ground objects with the ground system (a watch-like device for soldiers, box-size for structures.) and informs the pilot that they are friendly. To prevent the stealing of the ground system, the soldier ground objects are inactivated every hour and need to be reactivated with a password (but they inform the soldier with voice message that he should reactivate the system) also, the GFOI system points that a certain ground device has been deactivated, and will be activated again soon, to prevent the attack on ground soldiers who's device was just inactivated.

Avionics and minor electronic systems:

Cornwall RADAR M55A. (Model 55 Advanced)
Cornwall CPU SM13. (Super Model 13)
Breiga MC Air-to-Ground communication system.
Breiga MC Air-to-Air communication system.
Genius House aircraft navigation system.


Price: $70 million.

Discounts:

%30 FWA/Nova member.

%15 Capitalist nations.

%20 for orders more then 100 units.

%10 for orders more then 50 units.

%10 for nations less then 200 million.


All discounts are stackable.

No DPR's are available to anyone outside Nova.

Novans, please contact me if you are interested in DPR's.

Bumpy.

OOC.

Typically you first let it go through the review...
I think the cost is too low for such fighter, especially considering Mach 3 capability, even if for a short while; and with STOL capability.

I'd say should be no less than 40 million with maximum possible discounts, as that would be around the production cost. Of course, the discounts are excessive IMHO, especially stacking them (what, one can cut over 50%?) but it's your politics.

OOC: Yeah well.. i forgot this time.

My productions costs are quite low, as i produce stuff in countries like Weccanfeld, where workers are cheaper then China, and materials are also very cheap.

Considering that Weccanfeld's economy is rated as "frightening", I don't think so.

I hope you understand it's physically impossible to maintain economy with GDP of $40,000/capita, if each citizen's work is sold abroad for $1,000?

Me, and big part of Nova, including Weccanfeld, do not use calculators, or NS page for that, expect for population.

He RP's his country like China, and he also agreed for me to build aircraft factories.

Well, now you might wonder why, despite labor in India being 15 times cheaper than in Russia, they don't make their Su-27 for $3 million.

Any thoughts on that?


Answer: It's a high-tech industry, and high-tech equipment can't be just replaced by more cheaper workers. In the end, such outsourcing comes to building an almost automated line at own expense and having it manned by local workers; their low skill also slowing it down.

Ok Ok...

Okay Dokey, some Clarification on my part...

Bredford is right in saying that Weccanfelt labour is cheap, but the Weccanfelt GDP is raised (note: I and a good deal of others in our region don't use the calculators) by rich populations who exploit the workers. Since bosses are allowed to cut a lot of corners and pay their workers peanuts.

However, it is more likely the planes would be made in Alfegos, where the workers are more able to produce such things while still being fairly cheap for what they are doing. Weccanfeld would likely provide the metals and other basic things for the aircraft.
