The Wikipedian Armed Forces has recently built up a surplus of military hardware and designated it for export. While mainly a random assortment of surplus items, most of these are the latest designs to enter Wikipedian service. Orders will be made to the Wikipedian Pentagon, and proceeds will be forwarded to respective companies, so there is no need to worry about knowing what companies produced the products. It should be known that we reserve the right to refuse offers to anyone for any reason, and that you do NOT have to add up the bill. We will do the math for you. (OOC:

M12A1 Isaacs Light Tank~4.1 million USD
Named for Robert Riley Isaacs, a decorated Brigadier General from Epicnopolis (close Wikipedian ally) who initially commanded MDISC coalition forces in Southern United Africa before dying a suspicious death while on duty, this tank was designed to meet a requirement for a light tank for Wikipedian forces and for export. The design started as a scaled-down M1A1 with characteristics taken from foreign designs. Its turret armor and reactive armor defeats almost all common tank rounds. It is shock-resistant and defeats HESH rounds and softens hits from rounds that are deflected. It can resist many RPGs, including the RPG-29. Its top armor, though thinner than most armor on the tank, is reinforced. The ring connecting the turret to the chassis is also reinforced to resist RPG hits and fragmentation grenades. The ammunition is protected from overheating to avoid cooking off. It is highly mobile and can fire while moving. The M12A1 can also have an accurate range of up to 2 miles. The camouflage pattern was designed using MERDC forest colors and an original digital and outlined pattern.

LAV-36 Bachman AFV/IFV~2,800,000 USD
Named for Major General Alex Bachman, who commanded a squad of abandoned tanks in the aftermath of the collapse of Britannica and went on to help develop armored warfare strategy and tactics for the Wikipedian Marines. The LAV-36 was the result of a requirement of a new AFV/IFV to complement the Stryker and LAV-25. It was to have a high on-road and off-road speed as well as a 30mm gun as its primary armament. Camouflage patterns shown in the image are (clockwise from upper left): Woodland, Winter, Urban, and Desert.

Aircraft
A-21B Morningstar~54.7 million USD
Developed from a requirement for a light attack aircraft with secondary air-to-air engagement capability. It was designed to have a short takeoff for a STOBAR role, to be able to be launched from the Vesicaria-class aircraft-carrying assault cruiser. It was developed from a foreign design, the Praetonian Shrike. It was altered by featuring Wikipedian engines and avionics, slightly changing the shape of the tail and cockpit/canopy, and giving it variable-geometry wings. Despite external similarities, they are essentially different aircraft.

Link to info
During the 1990's, the former nation of Britannica ordered 50 C-141s to meet a cargo capability requirement. Once Britannica collapsed in 1999, Wikipedia and Universe inherited them and then repainted them in an experimental desert livery. It was retired in 2006, and 49 of them have been maintained for export. You can deck them out however you will.
Small Arms
The SpecOps Package~120,000 USD
This was developed as an export package for special operations (or conventional forces). Each weapon is described and listed in a clockwise order.
M-4 SOPMOD with M26 underslung semiautomatic shotgun.
Includes attachments and both a flash suppressor and sound suppressor.
M27A1 "Vincenzo" Submachine Rifle With M203 Grenade Launcher
Basically a submachine gun with an extended barrel, handguard, and rails. Compact and suitable for close-quarters. Includes 850 milliwatt green laser sight.
M346 Grenade Launcher
Fires a tandem-arranged string of four fragmentation and/or blast grenades, which can be airbursted. It is possible to have 4 different types on one string, as long as you can fit the each charge type into the same type of round (see picture for string of grenades pictured slightly above the weapon. Includes rails, a tactical falshlight, and an 850 milliwatt green laser sight.
M2010 .45 ACP Pistol
Includes green laser sight and small light.
Parkerized Titanium Combat Knife
Handheld Minigun
A lightweight minigun designed to fire a hail of 5.56mm rounds for suppressive cover. It essentially operates like a regular minigun, though the components are enclosed and the barrels are covered by a handguard. The electric firing mechanism is wired to a simulated conventional trigger that actually is a button for firing the weapon. That and the stock and grip were designed for familiarity. "Handheld" implies that it is light and can by carried by hands, with another team member to carry the ammo box and folding tripod. It is BY NO MEANS intended to be fired "Rambo-style". It can be fired from the shoulder laying down or from a support such as a wall or parapet. Includes a scope and laser sight. It is designed for mobility for insertion forces as well as ground forces needing a lot of lightweight suppressive firepower on hand urgently.
