“In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them. Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.”-Sun Tzu

1.1. You are involved in a war/conflict roleplay thread with other nations in the NationStates and/or International Incidents forums. If that is the case, then your order will only arrive in your nation after you have finished the war/conflict. Why is that? So that it is fair for the other participants involved
2. This storefront is a mix of OOC [out of character] and IC [in-character]. I am not as strict as I was once, and am nowadays very relaxed. So, if you want to talk OOC or order IC it's up to you really. You can also ask about RPing stuff related to this storefront, like for example if you want me to roleplay VMK participating in one of your NationStates or International Incidents roleplaying threads.
1.2. You order a ridiculous number of stuff, for example things like buying 100 million tanks or 1 million ships in one go. Sorry, I am flexible and all... but even I won't accept something like that ae
1.3. You are in a state of war with one of my (very few) close allies. In this situation, I will have to ask my allies to see if they will mind that I supply you with VMK war machines.
How do I buy from this storefront/how do I make a purchase?
Method number one: For storytellers and writers who don't usually use the NationStates official forums (and hear about this small fictional concept of a thread from your region friends): you can simply participate in this storyline in terms of its connection with your nation by simply declaring that your government has opened its borders to VMK commercial/industrial operations and export.

Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1L 'Panthera Leo' Main Battle Tank[Price: 18 million][DPR: 250 billion]
From the NationStates regions of Gholgoth to Greater Dienstad, and Atlas to Hemithea, as of 2011 over two million armoured fighting vehicles based upon that of the AY2 family has been exported and manufactured around the world. Over one hundred and fifty nations as of the present operate the AY2 series of armoured vehicles; tanks, self-propelled artilleries and other role-designated variants, establishing the Yohannesian Panzerkampfwagen (Pz.Kpf.W) AY2 as one of the world's foremost exported family of armoured fighting vehicle series, alongside that of the established Anemonian HT9A7 Yvernyr of ASAEA, Lyran LY7 and LY4 Wolfhound of Lyran Arms as well as the Lamonian M2 Valkyrie of LAIX Arms.
The L variant came into existence as an incentive by the VMK Research & Development Division to further push the AY2 series' boundary, and maximise the potential lethality and mobility of the said family of armoured fighting vehicles. Ever since its entrance in 2000, the previous E variant was known worldwide for its tactical and engineering qualitative parity with that of the already acknowledged and established state-of-the-art main battle tanks found overseas. It is therefore the wish of the Yohannesian Federal Ministry of Defence, Wehrmacht and that of the VMK R&D Division, to conceptualise Yohannes' next generation of main battle tank, based closely from that of the successful E variant.

Strengths: Powerful armament, excellent armour design, decent mobility for its weight, above average modularity, benchmark electronics & networking capabilities
Weaknesses: problematic suspension & transmission maintenance, shot turret trap vulnerability and various other fatal weak points, below average signature reductions
Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1E 'Panthera Tigris' Main Battle Tank[Price: 15 million][DPR: 105 billion]
The Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1E Panthera Tigris is the E variant of the AY2 series, and is a state-of-the-art main battle tank, utilising cutting edge electronics, engineering systems and technologies. The Yohannesian AY2 series of armoured fighting vehicle model was conceptualised to provide a mobile power projectile platform, with operational ease of logistics and technical modularity in mind. During the development and initial project phase of the AY1 series' L variant, debates were on-going within the VMK Board of Committee's inner council chamber, in regard to the persistent operational problems and logistical issue which can be found upon the design's prototype, and initial first assembly line of production. It was during the design's inception that a major error was made, in regard to the incorporation of a six cylinder engine as the AY1-1L's system of propulsion. Following mobile field testing operation conducted at the Valedonia experiment and proving range, the prototype could not withstand the internal pressure and technical problems resulting from the weight of its base chassis design, in conjunction with the incorporation of the AY4M 140/L50 gun and its intended electronics as well as networking systems.
The base of the AY1-L's chassis itself was inflexible, and was not designed with a continually-updated mobile platform capability in mind. While the incorporation of a new Forza FB-12TSD as its primary propulsion system did reduce the rate of the AY1's operational testing problems substantially, a persistent nature was still there to observe and look disconcertingly upon, by the VMK Board of Committee and in finality, that of the Yohannesian Federal acquisition and development board. These reasons were included as the primary explanation behind the eventual development of the AY2 model; as a way to fill the ever-intensive and crucially required easing of logistical operational requirement, and a more flexible main battle tank emphasising both the factor of mobility as well as tactical operational breakthrough potential within its attached formation.

Strengths: Powerful armament, very good armour design, good mobility for its weight, benchmark electronics & networking capabilities
Weaknesses: weak rear armour & certain fatal points, below average urban operation & support capabilities, problematic suspension & propulsion on extreme terrains
San-Silvacian T2009A3 Main Battle Tank[Price: 9.75 million][DPR: 50 billion]
The T2009A2 was supposed to be an anti-tank gun, capable of following infantry and mechanized forces and providing ‘deadly’ anti-tank support. However, the program had too many issues with the unmanned turret's electrical system and autoloader. It was later phased out a year after entering service, opting to simply give out full-size battle tanks to units when needed. When plans for the T2012 surfaced, design teams across the nation began submitting their blueprints; even Vickers have had different teams designing different tanks, one of which was the T2009A3, an improvement on the San-Silvacian benchmark T2009A1. Both tanks were selected with emphasis on the T2012 in production and funding. The T2009A3 was merely an upgrade program for the T2009A1, however specially modified sub-variants of the T2009A3s were also built.
After the fall of the Reich, the T2009A3 program was selected to fully replace the T2012 to become the standard main battle tank of the nation, and brought back into service, now to replace the T2012 that failed horribly. The upgrades to the T2009A1 that the A3 brought with it was the use of a newer automated loading system not dissimilar in characteristic to that found in the T2012. They also shared electrical systems, however the T2009A3/4s were considered as the more reliable and robust option. In August of 2012, the T2009A4 was released for both export and home usage. The T2009A4 was specially reserved for nations that could not or did not want to use the 140mm main gun seen on every T2009 since its inception. Using the German 120mm main gun, the T2009A4 appeals to many members of ISAF and other nations abroad; with more ammunition, more crew space, a fast automated loading system, and the possible use of gun-launched anti-tank guided missiles or GLATGMs.

Weaknesses: weak secondary armaments, below average urban operation & support capabilities
Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1B 'Panthera Uncia' Main Battle Tank[Price: 8 million][DPR: 40 billion]
The AY2 was conceptualised as a result of practicality and ease of logistics requirement. During the developmental phase of the AY1 Serenity, debates were on-going within the VMK Board of Committee regarding the initial negative outcome of the AY1 prototype. Initially equipped with a six cyclinder engine as its propulsion system, the prototype of the AY1 model could not withstand the various internal pressure and weight resulting from its networking sensory systems, electronics, and most importantly, its 140mm/L48 AY1M smoothbore gun, until the adoption of the twelve cylinders Forza FB-12TSD as its primary propulsion system.
Lessons learnt from the utilisation of the AY1 series in combat has provided the technological knowledge essentially needed by the VMK Bureau of Development and Technological Research, and as a result the AY2 came into existence. Weighting much less and with emphasis being put within its electronics and mobility, designated in full as the Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1B Tiger, the AY2 was thus conceptualised with 1B designated to symbolise its first variant type to enter production, and service. The development of the AY2 was initiated with chassis flexibility and the possibility of future variants' ease of modification being put in mind within its design, unlike that of its counterpart, the heavier AY1 Serenity.

King Leopard Main Battle Tank[Price: 5.9 million][DPR: 25 billion]
The Snow Leopard is a Imperial Main Battle Tank mainly in service with the armies of the Imperial Federation of Fallenrun and the Nerodian Empire. It was originally designed and built by the Bashford Imperial Armaments Company. It has seen service in the War of the Two Empresses and the Firmadorean Crisis. King Leopard II is the export version of the Snow Leopard, using torsion bar suspension instead of hydropneumatic for reduced cost, as well as mounting a 120mm L44 gun instead of the L50.

VAT M-2 'Stalker' Main Battle Tank[Price: 5 million][DPR: refer here]
The M-2 Stalker is a third-generation main battle tank developed within the Unified States of Daemyrs. The M-2 is a highly mobile tank, designed for modern armoured ground warfare, balancing the trinity of armour, firepower, and manoeuvrability. Notable features include the use of a powerful multi-fuel turbine, the adoption of sophisticated composite armour, and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety. Weighing just over 61 short tons, it is one of the heaviest combat vehicles ever fielded by the Unified States.
The M-2 entered U.S.D. service in 1986, replacing the ageing M-61 tank. It served for over a decade alongside the improved M-61D, which had entered service in 1983. The M-2 remains the principal main battle tank of the Unified States Army and Marine Corps, as well as experiencing increased use with the Daemyrs Home Guard.
Four main versions of the M-2 have been deployed, the M-2, M-2A, M-2B, and M-2C incorporating improved armament, protection and electronics. These improvements, as well as periodic upgrades to older tanks, have allowed this long-serving vehicle to remain in front-line service. The M-2D was under early development as of 2009.

Pz.Kpf.W AY1-1A 'Arctos' Medium Tank[Price: 3.5 million][DPR: 20 billion]
The AY1 was developed in the early 1960s following Yohannes' introduction into the armoured vehicle technological race worldwide. Named the "Arctos", and understandably more commonly known internationally as simply the "Yohannesian AY1", the AY1-series of tanks was the initial experimental project behind the further development and marked improvement of the AY2-series of tanks. Known for its modularity, mobility and mass-production capacity, the AY1-series of tanks has served within the Yohannesian Wehrmacht for over 50 years as of the present, with numerous variants found throughout varied armoured and infantry support formations within the Wehrmacht's order of strategic engagement. It is also the logical reserved and inventory model chosen by that of the Bundesversammlung (Yohannesian parliament). The AY1-series of tanks, as of the present, can still be found in various countries internationally, a symbol of its longetivity and quality ever since it was first engineered upon.
The AY1 is currently being used mainly to bolster and reinforce Yohannesian overseas detachments, mainly used in reserve role and/or second line assault role. Over 15,000 is currently registered within the Wehrmacht's storage. Since its introduction in 1961, over 300,000 AY1 tanks has been manufactured and produced, both within the Kingdom of Yohannes and countries internationally with the legal and technical capacity to manufacture the aforementioned series of tanks.

San-Silvacian T2009A1 Medium Tank[Price: 6.75 million][DPR: 40 billion]
In 1987, the People's Republic of San-Silvacian began to slowly disassemble its vast arms manufacturing industry following the aftermath of the Usean Military Stand Off which lasted from 1957 to 1985. Billions of NSD/USD were cut from defence spending and the large, mainly conscript San-Silvacian army was scaled down to a comparatively smaller personnel size of six million. One of the issues that was brought up during this time was the need for a domestically-designed new battle tank to replace the M55 series, which, as much to the dismay of the San-Silvacian General Staff, was effectively an obsolete option if compared to other 4th generation main battle tanks, such as the Abrams, Leopard and Challenger. In 1989, the M55A5 EBMS was unveiled and production began. It was a stop gap tank inspired by the American M60A3 TTS, however, it was only supposed to enter service for 4 to 5 years before being replaced by a new 4th generation tank.
A single tank design stood out from the crowd, which was the X2009. It meet or exceeded every set requirement with a VMK 140mm smoothbore gun, a weight of 62 tons and so on. It was, seemingly overnight, set into production with the T2009A1.

DAT-A55 'Predator' Medium Tank[Price: 7 million][DPR: 30 billion]
Development of a new main battle tank came during year 1995, where advances in military technology saw the obsolescence of the country's ageing fleet of Leopard 2 tanks. As the country grew richer, so too did the desire for increased indigenous military equipment and Drackonisa High Command soon laid plans for the future development of the armed forces. Chief of which, was the development of an indigenous main battle tank produced and designed entirely within the country. As the years passed and new military innovations and technological advancements in the field of electronics, armour and armament came into existence, the project was delayed due to continuous corrections and improvements to the original design to include these new developments. Work on a final prototype was finally completed on December 2006, where a technological demonstrator was produced to showcase its capabilities. The project was not without setbacks however, and there were accuracy problems with the tank's 128mm l55 main gun which were rectified in a second trial.
Following a complete redesign of the tank, it was decided to utilize an interleaved wheel design to improve weight distribution and a brand new drivetrain was designed to address the previous issues. It took several trial runs to work out all the kinks in its design, due to it being Drackonisa's first indigenous designed tank. Despite a program plagued by numerous difficulties, the team pressed on and eventually finished the production model for its first production run in June 2008. The predator tank's largely modular design simplifies maintenance and further upgrade and modernization packages are easily installed on the vehicle itself.

Panzerhaubitze 2E Self Propelled Artillery[Price: 6.5 million][DPR: 32 billion]
The Panzerhaubitze 2E (English: Armoured Howitzer 2E) is a self propelled artillery system developed by VMK, and was designated as the new replacement of the Panzerhaubitze 1H (PzH 1H) series of mobile artillery within the Yohannesian Wehrmacht (Defence Forces). The Panzerhaubitze 2E utilises a modified chassis and is based of the state-of-the-art Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1E Panthera Tigris.
The Panzerhaubitze 2E incorporate an enlarged auto-frettaged and fully-automatic ammunition handling and firing Halstenmetall AY3H 170/L50 cannon, modified from that of the AY-1E Panthera Tigris' AY7M 140/L50 gun to resemble its indirect power projectile role. It is also equipped with an extra ammunition information management sub-system alongside its modified AYTRACK fire control system, borrowed heavily from that of the Panthera Tigris. Simultaneously pre-programmed together is the PzH 2E modified AY3H 170 mm compatible XA1Y-E2 automatic loading system of the original Panthera Tigris, with the ability to initiate MRSI (multiple round simultaneus impact) firing capability, which enable the PzH 2E to fire up to six rounds simultaneously within one targeted spot.

DAT-B91 'Hamster' Self Propelled Artillery[Price: 3 million][DPR: 20 billion]
The development of the Hamster began in 1991, to fulfil a requirement to provide better mobile fire support to the combined arms divisions of the Drackonisian Armed Forces. Due to the local environment requiring it to cross small bridges as well as operate in confined spaces such as rainforests in the largely tropical environment, the decision to purchase foreign howitzers was deemed unfeasible as the average weight range was around 70 tons and the vehicles were either too heavy or too wide. The new artillery has to fulfil a stringent requirement of a highly mobile unit capable of being air-transportable, capable of keeping up with the high tempo of armoured operations and being less fuel demanding, all the while still being able to provide the firepower, range and accuracy artillery units are capable of.

Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer 2E Anti Air Tank[Price: 6 million][DPR: 30 billion]
The Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer 2E (English: Anti-Aircraft Cannon Tank 2E) or more commonly known as the Flakpanzer 2E, is the primary mobile anti-aircraft aerial defence system of the Yohannesian Wehrmacht. Exceedingly well-armoured and extremely mobile, the Flakpanzer 2E easily fill its role as an air and ground defence self-propelled artillery system simultaneously. It utilises a modified AY2 chassis and is based of the state-of-the-art Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1E Panthera Tigris. The turret system of the E variant has been replaced and modified to accommodate for the automatic arms elevation attachment system of the Flakpanzer's two externally mounted Halstenmetall AY1A TCL automatic cannons. The basic concept of the vehicle's design is to provide the Yohannesian Wehrmacht with an well-rounded mobile, lethal and efficient modular anti-aircraft aerial defence platform. Based from the chassis of the AY2 series of tanks' E variant, the Flakpanzer 2E maintained the E variant's Adversus and Hauberk hull structure layout, thus maintaining the excellent all-around protection trait and well-armoured characteristic of the Panthera Tigris.
The E variant's integrated AYHK10 ADS was kept, although electronics and sensory unrelated to that of the Flakpanzer 2E's intended role was removed. The Forza FB-12TSD propulsion and 8GDCT automated double clutch transmission systems of the Panthera Tigris was also kept alongside its VLT HPVS-MBT hydropneumatic active suspension system, thus allowing the Flakpanzer 2E to maintain the excellent mobility of the Panthera Tigris.

The AY2-AVEE, which stand for the AY2 Armoured Vehicle Engineering E-series, was designed to be equipped with a short-barreled Halstenmetall 170mm AY5D demolition gun, specifically developed with the full purpose of demolishing ground obstacles, such as large accumulation of bricks, opposing walls, tactical roadblocks, bunkers, and various other logistical boundaries and/or field barriers within its main gun's range. Included with the main gun is its utilisation of a land mine clearing rake, and if need be, a bulldozer device.
Beside these changes, the AY2-AVEE maintained the E variant's Adversus and Hauberk armour layout, thus maintaining the excellent all-around protection trait and well-armoured characteristic of the Panthera Tigris. The Forza FB-12TSD propulsion and 8GDCT automated double clutch transmission systems of the Panthera Tigris was also kept, alongside its VLT HPVS-MBT hydropneumatic active suspension system, thus allowing the AY2-AVEE to maintain the excellent mobility of the Panthera Tigris.

Panzerschnellbrücke 2E Bridge Tank[Price: 2.9 million][DPR: 10 billion]
The Panzerschnellbrücke 2E (English: Rapid Bridge Tank 2E) is the primary rapid launched, tactical assault bridge tank of the Yohannesian Wehrmacht (Defence Forces). The Panzerschnellbrücke 2E was envisioned with the primary task to establish multiple crucial tactical bridgeheads which will influence the much larger, strategic initiative of its corresponding attached formation(s). In some cases, unfavourable tactical situation on the immediate field of operation will find one’s formation lacking upon the availability of a sizeable or qualitatively secured bridge. It is in such a situation that the Panzerschnellbrücke 2E will be most useful within. Its other usefulness is the fact that the bridge can rapidly be assembled and launched, at no more than five minutes, and can rapidly disengage at no more than nine minutes.

Bergepanzer 2E Armoured Recovery Vehicle[Price: 5.3 million][DPR: 25 billion]
The Bergepanzer 2E (English: Armoured Recovery Vehicle 2E) is a heavy armoured recovery vehicular system developed by VMK, and is designated as the replacement of the Bergepanzer 1L series of armoured recovery vehicle within the Yohannesian Wehrmacht. The Bergepanzer 2E utilises a modified chassis and is based of the state-of-the-art Pz.Kpf.W AY2-1E Panthera Tigris.
The internal crew compartment structure of the original E variant was changed to accomodate and reflect the vehicle's role. Four crew members in total is designated towards the Bergepanzer 2E, that of the commander, driver and an addition of two specialised vehicular engineers. The vehicle's designated driver seat is switched to the front of the compartment, whilst that of the commander placed at the rear of the driver's seat. Four large doors, two on the surrounding left and right side of the compartment, has been integrated into the vehicle to accomodate for the crews' ease of entrance and departure.

Pseudonaja Protected Mobility Vehicle[Price: 250,000][DPR: 1.25 billion]
Designed to meet the needs of defence forces constantly challenged by IED's, mines or small arms ambushes, the Pseudonaja Protected Mobile Vehicle (PMV) is a highly mobile and highly protected light vehicle that provides protection and flexibility in a complex operational environment for up to six soldiers. The vehicle was developed as a next-generation light mobility vehicle for the Southern Cynocephali Defence Force (SCDF), which can be airlifted by standard cargo aircraft. Pseudonaja PMV has a maximum speed of 130 km/h, and is able to travel up to to 1,000 km in range.
The Pseudonaja has been extensively tested against improvised explosive devices (IED) and small arms fire to ensure that its design allows maximum protection. Tests were conducted by SCDF personnel to gather the data and modernise the blast management system equipped in the vehicle. The vehicle is named after a genus of venomous elapid snakes native to Southern Cynocephali. Members of this genus are known commonly as brown snakes and are often extremely well camouflaged in their surroundings. These snakes, even when young, are extremely venomous are widely considered to be the most dangerous snake in the country. With this in mind, lead designer and development manager Jean Dieu de Soult felt the name was fitting for the project.

Forza Corio E Military Truck[Price: 72,000][DPR: refer here]
The Forza Corio E Military Truck - marketed under the Panzer package deal in partnership with Forza Automotive - is a truck designed by Forza Automotive of United Coronado to fulfill both military and civillian roles. United Coronado is a nation of contrasts, from the vast and arid interior deserts to the urban sprawl around major city centres. For a truck to perform admirably in any situation that the harsh and unforgiving environment could throw at it, it needed to be both reliable and easy to maintain. But for a truck to survive in a nation of strict emissions laws and minimum highway speeds, it needed to be clever enough to face adversity. The Forza Corio blends both brawn with brains and can capably fulfill any role which a medium or heavyweight truck might be faced with.

VLT M5 Military Truck[Price: 295,000][DPR: refer here]
This design is marketed under the Panzer package deal in partnership with VLT Automotive. The first deliveries of the VLT M5 took place at the Findelkasern in Luxembourg. They were destined for the first regiment of the Groussherzogliche Arméi, the regiment being otherwise known as the Gourssherzogliche Wuecht. The vehicle was at that point the pinnacle of Van Luxemburger experience in the development of military trucks, and perhaps one of the most advanced of its kind. Nevertheless, vehicle reliability remained a major issue for the Arméi that had ordered these vehicles, and thus two different versions had been designed, one primarily for logistical services with the auxiliary troops of the Arméi, and one version that would only have the most basic of necessities on board.
With the former being equipped with more luxuries and an improved suspension system that allowed for more comfort, but also was extremely capable in various types of terrain, the M5a was clearly the most popular version among the soldiers and drivers that had to operate these vehicles. On the other hand, mechanics and financial experts preferred the simpler M5b, as it was far easier to repair due to a lack of complicated parts, and had a lower replacement cost, while the less complicated parts were also cheaper and universally available. With these differences in preference regarding various versions of the M5, the Ministry of Defence evaluated the design together with VLT’s defence vehicles department in early 2009, in order to come to a better design that was beneficial for all parties.

Darius Crossver SUV[Price: 295,000][DPR: apply here]
What some foreigners knew and commonly acknowledged today as the 'Darius' was in fact the fourth incarnation of its kind. The first concept of the car commonly associated with Automobil Yohannes' introductory approach into the market of crossover SUV was established in January 1996. AY research & design team at the time was preliminarily conducting its first experimentation with a new concept in Yohannes;Read more about the Darius Crossover SUV [ here ]
- A four-wheel drive emphasising a casual persona and flexibility to attract the younger generation in Yohannes.
- The idea to approach the above mentioned goal was to allow a passenger-comfort driving experience, whilst simultaneously combining overall good motorway speed with four permanent wheel drive and acceptable ground clearance.
- In turn, the above experience will attract client-contacts who are not interested in mud plugging off road cars, with emphasis made in the possibility of maximising their various leisure schedules; such as moutain biking, tramping or weekends sailing.
- New features which will attract potential buyers; retractable and storable twin sunroofs, fully-reclined passenger seats for sleeping and comfortable back space.

Emperor Tomas Eldoran now reigns in our lands.
We would like to thank you for your continued support with military arms during our campaign to restore order.
As order has been restored we would like to continue shipments at larger quantities to insure that the military is kept as highly armed as it was before the chaos.

Order: At the moment we don’t have the money to buy your fancy tools of war. We have a different type of offer to make.
Additional comments: The Empire of Carosi neither has labor nor environmental laws. We also have no taxes but high unemployment. We would like to ask Yohannes if they are interested to open some production and R&D facilities in our nation. Your compounds would be located near a deep water port and have rail road connections. A new city is being constructed next to your premises. We have no regulations regarding scientific experiments other than that you do that in your compounds. While the area we can offer you is very small it would be extra territorial like an embassy so you can do there whatever you please.
