Due to the Failure to find a company willing to manufacture an armed convoy escort, Kedoshim's Department of Defence has researched and developed the Razorback. The six by six armorplated vehicle will deter ambushes on Kedoshim convoys in occupied zones. Chairman of Kedoshim's Department of Defence, Joseph Lancengrad, stated in an interview with the Peoples Report that it will prevent loses to supplies and lower the casualties suffered in an ambush on a convoy. Specifications will be announced nationally on Tuesday.

OOC: Nice drawing. And if it hasn't already been done so, welcome to NationStates. Now about your design. Here on NS, assuming you don't already know this, it's wise to include statistics with a picture or design, as a visual representation can only go so far in explain the specifications of a vehicle.

OOC: Could include some statistics like Falkasia said, but overall
its a good design for escorts.

Are you planning on marketing this vehicle?

OOC: I am still doing the vehicle specs. I am still on the fence as to market it or not.

Kedoshim releases vehicle specifications to the public. The Kedoshim Department of Defence refuses to release any information on it's composite armor. More to come from the Kedoshim Department of Defence can be assured due to the thriving economy.

(NS Design standards, according to the NSD (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?act=idx), say that all specifications should be given in metric)

OOC: Metric and US units are now on the specifications

OOC: For the record, it's 'imperial' units, not US units, because the US did not invent them. They're called imperial units.

OOC: I use Imperial all the time with my designs, and they aren't shunned in any way. I say use whatever measurements you like.
