ERMERGERD! They use Laka Strolislandiler nukes but they actually set them to be used on SOMETHING OTHER THAN THEMSELVES.

Apart from the massive leap they seemingly make between PMT and FT (from garish and overdeveloped high MT concepts to literal magic and time-bending, personal causality breaking devices, etc.), the PMT exosuits. In the environment the Caleshans operate in, with extremely mobile warfare, it can be assumed that there isn't time to load soldiers up onto a much smaller vehicle that resembles an APC to transport them to the battlefield, and in the wide battlespace (caused by the mobile warfare) it would be more reckless to simply march up across the expected Caleshan eternal plains all exposed. So, what can you do? Put the armored personnel from APC onto your soldiers. An obvious example being the Shield exosuit, meant to act as a bulldozer.

Definitely the Rostov MBT. While contemporary NATO and NATO-standard tanks use the 120 mm gun, and Chinese/Russian ones use 125 mm, the Rostov uses a 130 mm gun. This means they can cram more propellant into a shell, and that means they can fire rounds such as APFSDS faster than any contemporary tank if they design it properly. Additionally, its engine is powerful enough to support a heavier gun system, which affords it a maximum speed similar to the M1A2 Abrams

Their type 5 MBT. The all round chobham armor speaks for itself already. What makes it scary is the engine. It performs better than the Abrams, and can act like an armor on the back unlike other tanks which can be disabled by a shot on the back.

Long live the Janpian Union of Revolutionary States!

The fact that their biggest tank doubles as a nuclear bomb shelter whether the crew likes it or not. They're just really keen on using the bombs, to the point that it informs their vehicle design.

Why wouldn’t you want your tank to protect you against nuclear weapons and radiation/biological weapons? It kicks ass!

For AN: orbital rail gun. If they’ve somehow managed to make this thing work than all other states are in a world of trouble

Their military cannot be found, but each of their nukes functions like an apocalypse event.

Nevermind that anything more than 75 Megatons actually loses effectiveness as they just end up blasting away the atmosphere instead of causing surface damage.

Something that caught my eye, is that they are using a .50-caliber anti material rifle as their nation's sniper rifle. I guess their sniper corps takes the phrase "one shot, one kill' quite literally.

Either their M2 Wells "Tripod" or the M1 Volantor "Flying Disk". Both have strange and unusual weaponry that could make most modern weapons useless against them. I can't tell which is scarier though, as both have qualities that the other doesn't.

The comically large complex of forces present, though when combined, offer a large and flexible force capable of taking on any threat known to man in the modern era. Indeed, the crown gem would have to be their Perun-class, which is similar to the Gonswanzan Gangut but is solely dedicated to carrying as many nuclear warheads as possible for rapid delivery to any target anywhere in the world in under 20 minutes or less.
