Official Message from the Papal State of Inderressa
21st October, 2011
Dear willing participant,
The Inderressan government has today issued a request to all design bureaus and corporations around the world to deliver a proof-of-concept new anti-tank guided missile to counter threats in the modern world not covered by Inderressa's current arsenal. We wish to replace our aging M72 LAWs with a new, innovative design that is cheap, relatively light, and powerful enough to penetrate the armour of a Leopard 2A4 or AMX Leclerc tank (600/700RHAe).
The official requirements are as follows:
- Weight less than (or equal to) 12kg
- Ability to penetrate armour of 700RHAe
- A cost of less than or equal to: £3,040 per unit ($4,000 USD)
- A simple design, easy to mass produce with little advanced industry and quickly able to replace current weaponry
After proof-of-concept is delivered, the Ministry of Defence will deliberate and if accepted tests will begin at the expense of the Inderressan government.
Signed,
Alessandro Bongiovi, Minister of Defence
(( Basically, this is a request for a new MANPATS anti-tank missile for the Inderressan military. I wanted to invent a new one but my line art skills are seriously lacking, something I want to change in the future, and I don't really know any ways to innovate in the field of anti-tank missiles without either just packing a load more explosives in or using top-down attacks. ))
