Brother nations,

Now that our great nation has emerged from decades of confused civil war, our government has found itself with a great surplus of weapons we have no use for, even with our compulsory conscription policy. Our wise leader has decided it would be best to sell some of these in order to raise necessary funds for other projects, and to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. If any nation or corporation is interested in purchasing some of our equipment, the basic list is as follows:

126,000 Small Arms, ranging from handguns to sniper rifles, Kalashnikovs to M14s (SOLD)
Over 6,000,000 rounds for a variety of Small Arms (SOLD)
19 Tonnes of Explosives (SOLD)
60 Obsolete Armoured Vehicles (NEARLY SOLD OUT)
8 Artillery Guns (SOLD)
2 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 Fighter Aircraft (SOLD)
1 UAV (damaged)

What kind of vehicles?

25 Jeeps, 12 Armoured Cars and 23 T-70 tanks.

The nation of Orbath would like to inquire as to the price of the T-70 tanks and their condition.

All the T-70 tanks are used but fully functioning, being of exceptionally sturdy design. They have seen extensive action in the civil war, but have not let us down yet.

They are priced at 3.8m dimeons ($750,000USD) each.

We wish to aquire the 2 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 Fighter Aircraft for free, in exchange we can give you two free F-35 Lightings.

Agreed.

The two F-35s are being flown there. Upon reaching your airfield we request that you check the MiG-23 Fighters for any damage.

I will have them checked now.

OOC what the UAV as MT/PMT me would take it if i knew what it was

what are the artillery pieces?

The UTP Government would like to purchase the full tonnage amount of Exsplosives for current asking price.

[OOC: T-70's? you mean these, right? T-70 light tank (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/T70.svg/800px-T70.svg.png) unless you mean T-72, of which I would like to purchase]

No, T-72s are not suitable for combat in a country like ours, the terrain is simply unsuitable. T-70s are used as they are both maneuverable and well armed.

We are happy to sell to the UTP the full complement of explosives for a mere 300,000 dimeons ($53,000USD). They are ready to be shipped immediately.

The artillery pieces are largely American M198 Howitzers which have proven too expensive for us to maintain (parts must be imported), however we also have several American M270 MLRS units which have again proven too expensive to efficiently operate. The 6 Howitzers are priced at 34m dimeons each ($6mUSD) and the two Multiple Rocket Launcher Systems are priced at 25m dimeons each ($4.42mUSD).

UAVs are Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and are chiefly used for reconnaissance. This one in question is of our own design, the GG72-Sc. It is a rotorcraft UAV capable of 150 hours flight time, with a variety of sensors for military scanning. This one malfunctioned in the last 2 hours of its patrol and crashed, suffering moderate (though reparable) damage. It is priced at 9.96m dimeons ($1.76mUSD).

Perhaps we can find a use for them, so we will buy the T-70's for a total cost of 17,250,000

Montana Inc will purchase the 8 artillery pieces for the price of $44.84 million

Acquisition of Firearms

The People's Republic of Roma V will purchase your 126,000 firearms at the current standing price. Simply let us know that our order is confirmed and the money will be wired immediately.

Strength and Honor,
The Senatus de Roma V

The Small Arms are to be sold for a total of 3.5m dimeons ($630,000USD). Since we are on friendly diplomatic terms, the small arms ammunition has been added free of charge.

Everything save the UAV has been sold and is being shipped to the states who purchased them.

The Armed Republic is grateful for your custom.

Payment

We, the Senatus de Roma V, are very grateful for this generous gift. To thank you we have wired five billion USDs to your nation to be used however you wish. We suggest contacting a military storefront such as DMG Military Industries to help you select replacements for these weapons from their vast selections.

Strength and Honor,
The Senatus de Roma V
