Military Equipment Information

[Xentherida]

Throne to post snippets of information about any military information from your country - about weapons, maneuvers, battles, strategies, anything.

Stridsvagn-46

An early model of the Stv-46, fitted with a PSM-43 76.2mm anti-tank gun.

As the Fascist War continued, and Dominion tank designs escalated further and further, Xentherida was desperate to upgrade its old, poorly-designed tanks; the idea for tanks centred strongly around other Xentheridan doctrine, of a simple and effective one-fits-all requirement that could be easily mass produced, for both fast replacement for its older tanks, and for possible lend-lease to any allies that may find itself short on armoured vehicles. The result was the Stv-46 - the first Xentheridan Main Battle Tank, entering service in 1946, as the name implies. It was well armoured with effective sloping, good cross-country performance which would later prove invaluable in the Andrennian campaign, and with a 76.2mm cannon that was later revised to a more powerful 84mm in 1948, creating the Stv-46/2 variant that would be used for the rest of the war.

 

[Kanada]

Kejserlikan-445 (KA-445)

The Kejserlikan-445 is a rifle designed in 2012 and produced by Kejserlikam Industries. Beginning in 2011, Kanada had begun a rapid modernization of its military, and after twelve prototypes, the 445 was finally chosen as the standard rifle to be used by the Kanadian army.

 

[Haor Chall]

Crusader Mk IV MBT

Introduced as the main MBT of the Haor Chall Army in the late 1960s, armed with a 105mm gun, the Crusader is lightly armoured and equipped with a powerful, multi-fuel engine, providing excellent cross-country performance. There have been a number of through-life upgrade programmes, these largely focused on improving the stabiliser, night vision and fire-control systems but have more recently included improvements to the tanks armour. The current version is the Mk IV. The Crusader tank has been replaced by the more modern Conqueror in most armoured units from the early 90s. However, favouring speed over armour, the Crusader remains in service with the Kuat Yeomanry - the heavy armoured reconnaissance units of the HCA. Significantly lighter and more reliable than the Conqueror, the Crusader has most recently been deployed on exercise as an armoured element of the Joint Charrian-Predicean Brigade.


C-200 Strategic Transport Aircraft

The C-200 is the largest military aircraft in service with the Haor Charrian Air Force, and one of the largest aircraft in the world. Designed to provide strategic lift capability, to underpin the expeditionary credibility of the Charrian armed forces, the C-200 had been on the drawing boards for over a decade before the programme began construction in 1989. The first aircraft entered service in 1994 and an initial order of 4 was increased to 12, with the last coming off the production line in 1998. HCAF transport aircraft are numbered according to their size, the C-200 being the largest and the C-70 the smallest cargo aircraft. They have recently been used to deploy the Crusader tank to Predice in support of the first exercise of the two nations Joint Brigade.
