Official Announcement

We see the continuing invasions of the Griffencrest Corporation as a negative interference with both world events and our course, by suppressing smaller nations from entering the world, and as such harming the cultural environment.

Since the potential of Griffencrest of eventually evolving into a threat for us is low, we haven't paid attention to their actions for a long time. Their increasing aggression (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=558377), however, has finally led them to being noticed by us.

While we have not yet decided whether they merit a cleanup, now we would like to give some assistance to their targets. Currently we are offering some technological aid to Shofercia, consisting of technology and equipment transfer. It will include 12,000 air superiority fighters, 240,000 air-to-air missiles, and 1,500,000 man-portable air defense systems, transferred on a lend-lease basis. For military reasons, further detail are not disclosed.

We also ask other nations and organizations to join this act of help, and provide Shofercia, as well as other nations being invaded, with whatever assistance they are able to give.


Signed,
Kirill Leonov,

Nonconsensual Delivery Department Coordinator.

Greetings. I expect you'll accept this aid, but of course have to specify some detail and ask you for acceptance, out of courtesy.

We'll be sending you 12,000 of our latest F-5M and F-5MV air superiority fighters (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13693530), which are easy to operate, have very small maintenance requirements, and are some of the most manoeuvrable combat aircraft ever. 10,000 of them will be the MV version, "V" standing for VSTOL - planes capable of vertical takeoff and landing, as we expect you will need to operate them in such a way. With their stealth and excellent dogfight firepower, these planes are sure to spoil any plan if well hidden and used in time.

To provide them with armament, 240,000 air-to-air missiles will be delivered, ranging from lightweight to heavy ones. 120,000 of them are our latest-generation MLAA system missiles. Of course, should the need arise for more missiles, we'll supply them at first request.
And, to help you adapt to using these fighters, 6,000 of our instructors will be flown with them.

That is only a half of our aid, however. Another will be the provision of 1,500,000 - 1.5 million - of MLSA-11 man-portable air defense systems (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=2483). These systems are incredibly easy to operate, lightweight but durable, and provide a better hit probability than Stinger and even Igla, as well as most other systems available today. We believe they'll be of great help, if used properly.
We also suggest you check some other of our products (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showforum=34), and request us if you need any of them; we'll try to fulfill it, within reason.

All of this aid is offered on a lend-lease basis: you'll receive the equipment for no immediate cost, as long as it is used to fight the Griffincrest Corporation or their allies. In the end of the war, you'll have a choice of returning the surviving equipment or keeping it for just 50% of its market price, and that payment that may be delayed with no interest for at least 10 years and possibly more. Most likely, however, should you win, we'll waiver this payment anyway as a part of some contract in peaceful cooperation.


Military aid is not all there is to it. Concerned about the methods used by the Griffincrest, we're sending you 500 million of basic NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) protection kits. They include full body coveralls, gas masks, anti-radiation medicines, antidotes, vaccines and cures, and a variety of sampling equipment, Geiger counters, and warning systems - everything you need to keep the population safe. 80 million of military NBC protection kits, intended not only to protect the user, but do it in combat, and for a longer time, will be shipped as well. Our nation has survived an all-out nuclear and chemical war, and we know how much difference such a kit can make.
This shipment is transferred free of charge, and you can consider it a gift.

The military equipment, except for the aircraft, will be shipped using well armed Mudskipper class hydroplanes (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=988), a deep-stealth, high-speed oceangoing dynamic lift craft. As you might have expected, we'll transfer to you 250 of these vessels, complete with anti-shipping and anti-aircraft missile armament. Please use them wisely, as this boat, too stealthy and fast for anti-ship missiles, but too durable and close to water for anti-aircraft ones, can change the tide of the battle. At every step, we wish to provide you with efficient means to defend.

If you need any advice on the use of equipment, or anything else, don't hesitate to ask. We are not sure if we'll intervene directly, but this is the least we can do.

With best wishes,
Kirill Leonov.

OOC: BC is already working on blockading him. How are those gonna get in?

OOC: Oh damn, I'm a bit late... Prepared this post yesterday, but couldn't post in time.
BTW, could you give a full set of links so I don't miss anything?

Also, is the main strike intended to be in Shofercia or elsewhere (so I might need to redirect the effort)?


Maybe I'll have to do some other things. Or maybe I'll just go through, if sinking his navy is what it takes, so be it. No war declaration, of course, we're just shipping.

OOC: Simple poke, provoke and revoke (his right to float).

From: The Military Government of Shofercia
To: Kirill Leonov

We accept your aid. We inform you that there is no aerial blockade, so if you can deliver any of these goods via air, they will arrive before the battle begins, and it will be greatly appreciated. The remainder can be shipped through the ICU to the north. I doubt Griffencrest has resources to block all of ICU. So please respond and tell us what you can deliver via air, and what we will have to wait to get by sea. We are sending you 1,000 cargo planes to have the goods loaded and sent. We thank you for your efforts in our noble cause -

The Military Governmnet of Shofercia

Most of the equipment is on landing ships, positioned about 600 to 1000 nautical miles from your coast - we have sent our fleets without waiting for confirmation. Please send only aircraft within C-130 size limits, and spread this in time somewhat. We can only safely handle 120 planes an hour.
We'll load them up with the missiles and some of the military NBC protection kits, and use JATO to allow for takeoff and send them back.

The fighters, of course, will all be arriving by air, together with their missiles. All of the standard ones are placed on carriers and landing ships, the VTOL variants are spread among the fleet.

In case of attack, these fighters will be escorting the cargo airplanes. Of course, they won't all be flying at once.


With best wishes,
Kirill Leonov.
