Not to advertise but I could sell you missiles that would help you (if you want TG me and I will start a negotiations thread in economics).
My recommendation would be to set up a lot of anti-air/anti-ship missiles and buy fighters capable of both intercepts/naval strike (I happen to have some). Your best option is range when it comes to Island defense.

To say that they're "not fond" of either the U.S. or UK is an understatement. Why would your NS be any different? Pagans are heathens like Wahhabists/Salafists/Radical Islamists and would have a similar worldview, and perhaps, a similar relationship with the West.

I'm trying to give the Mongol army a gimmick that involves effective use of archery using 100-something pound compound bows and also blitzkrieg tactics with armoured vehicles similar to the Mongols' old horseback charges and making them as effective and terrifying as possible without making the order of battle an absolutely impractical meat grinder. Right now, I'm stuck with infantry using artillery, air support and arrow volleys, followed by a crawling-pace advance while firing, and finally good ole' WWII Poland-style horseback archery (provided there's also cavalry units armed with anti-tank weaponry and high-calibre firearms.) As you can see, this is quite possibly the worst way to fight, as we learnt from the aforementioned Polish cavalry 69 years ago.
Any advice on proper MT battle tactics that'd involve effective archery and blitzkrieg? (That is, assuming this number of at least <1 million archers have been adequately trained and can fire a bow that has a drawstring of about 100 - 150lb.)

My head hurts.
There's no point in the bows. It's such a huge disadvantage in pretty much way. They will not have the range, armor-piercing capability, nor accuracy as a rifle.
Secondly, why would they firing while advancing to begin with. This isn't some Star Wars Hollywood bullshit. That's not how war works. That whole bit is incredibly fucked to the point that I recommend throwing it all out the window and into an incinerator.
Third, there are many myths about the Polish cavalry in WWII. Not even any of those, which are already incorrect, have Poles using A R C H E R Y off horseback in WWII. Where the fuck did you learn history because they failed the fuck out of you. That's all I'm gonna say about that.
Fourthly, YOU CAN'T USE GIANT, LOUD WEAPONS OFF HORSEBACK. Horses hate loud noises. Horses are also incredibly skittish as a general rule. When you have armored vehicles, there's literally no reason to stick anti-tank or high caliber anything on some dude on horseback, unless you want to make him incredibly combat ineffective (implying he isn't already, I know).
Basically, just throw out the entire idea from the get-go. You'd be fucked venturing into Somalia let alone anywhere with even half a functioning military.

I've read his post they're well-written and he seems to be genuinely asking for advice, And he's not rude unlike German Kaiserreich, I really want to advertise this thread because this thread contains some of the smartest players from the NS rping community (you guys), But I can't advertise this thread to new players if they're going to be abused or be told to get "fuck" the moment they ask (not even one liner) questions here, Atm lots of players respect the opinion of regular posters in this thread because you guys are some of the smartest people on NationStates. I understand that some questions can sound dumb but remember they are new players and even many old players out there don't have a clue about realism things, That's what this thread is for our job is to showcase the best of what realism has got to offer and I (and many other like me) need your help to make this work

Grand Unity of the Righteous Nation Cele wrote:Here's the idea on how military defence works in my nation:
You decide to attack us. We are a remote island nation far from anywhere relevant, which means that you have to start your assault with your navy. We do not have nearly strong enough naval or air forces (we have as much as 20 planes ) to impede you, but we do have enough hidden artillery cannons on the coast to annoy your landing efforts for a short time. You most likely want to capture the only large airfield on the nation as fast as possible. This is where our strenghts come in.
We have a population of over 200 million. Over half of this can and will be conscripted (passive reserve). In our nation, everyone is required to own a gun, which thanks to goverment subsiditation will most likely be the same rifle used by our armed forces. There aren't enough fatigues for the majority of the conscripts, which means that they have to use their civilian clothing, which allows them to pose as civilians or steal your uniforms and pose as your soldiers. Everyone in the nation is required to go through a two-year service period, meaning that the population is already familiar how the military operates.
The nation is filled with old bunkers and caves left from the Revolution, most of which are used to store and hide artillery and mortars. They have predetermined fire zones and trained soldiers in active service camping nearby.
Point of these defences is to make the lives of the enemy soldiers as miserable as possible to lower their combat effectiveness and their willingess to be here.
I want to know if any of this is actually effective.
