Completion of the Seven Nation Army has seen the largest force buildup of Bri’rish Fennoscandian Federation land forces since the Downfall War. With the accession of the Kingdom of Siberica as a full STOICS member, STOICS Allied Land Command has deemed it prudent to begin issuing UNSC-wide upgrades to BFF, RUC, and KOS ground forces over the next four years.

• In order to further enhance survivability, a mass-produced, low-cost variant of the 2nd-generation conformal radar-transparent and Mignolecule® Ink-coated AZRAEL Maille-derived ERA plating used by the Sarcophagus-Dullahan powered armor solution has been developed. While retaining similar characteristics to the Dullahan’s infantry-portable system, this variant of Maille ERA paneling is intended purely for vehicular use, and therefore can mount thicker panels with lower machining tolerances and larger matrices filled with more nanospring-ignited explosive filler. While the system is much heavier and larger as a result, the vehicle Maille derivative can be easily applied in the field as an advanced Explosive reactive armour solution to existing armored fighting vehicles and transports without compromising the vehicle’s profile and visibility.
  
• The now-dated Saab conformal MIMO AESA array aboard many STOICS ground vehicles will be replaced with an improved derivative of the conformal GEMMA system optimized for vehicle installation above the vehicular armor layer and below the modular ERA solution. These GEMMA panels will be coated in a Mignolecule® Ink negative-index metamaterial coating to offer dynamic camouflage, supplanting other legacy optical Active Camouflage systems. The quantum radar antennae of the modified GEMMA system will see the integration of pilot wave detection technologies enhancing their use against radiating quantum radar systems. Pilot wave GEMMA paneling will also see coatings of transparent reactive armor and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene laminate in order to protect these systems from small arms and lower caliber weapons. All vehicles that did not previously have conformal MIMO arrays will also receive pilot wave GEMMA paneling as a standard upgrade, enhancing STOICS information supremacy doctrine by enabling the use of any in-theatre ground vehicle as a software-defined radar and communications node.
  
• All optical systems aboard ground vehicles will receive upgrades via the installation of 32K UHD resolution EO/UV/IVL and quantum LiDAR multi-modal optical sensors and cameras, further improving the quality of data-fused intelligence.
  
• Dagr, an entirely-new modular plug-and-play directed energy APS, will be developed. Unlike existing lower-powered laser APS (such as the PL-22’s Miecz świetlny) which rely on power draw from onboard batteries gradually recharged by each vehicle’s engines, the Dagr system is a 8.5kg module that leverages an self-excited explosive-driven magnetohydrodynamic generator as its primary power source, facilitating the use of directed energy weapons that were traditionally installed aboard airborne or naval platforms. By using ETC to ignite a small, 48g cartridge of highly-insensitive C8(NO2)8 explosive filler, 500kJ of energy can be generated from the resulting explosion. Highly-energetic gas generated from the explosion is funneled through a 1.5kg non-superconducting-BNNT-reinforced MHD hall-effect generator, which captures 450kJ (at approximately 80% efficiency). Any excess gas is then vented into the atmosphere via a baffle system oriented specifically to offset the recoil from the explosion, and an autoloader with a capacity for 20 cartridges offers sustained use prior to the system requiring reload. This mechanism fully supplants the role of large supercapacitors and therefore enables sufficient energy delivery to power high-powered directed energy weapons; the Dagr system is therefore able to route power generated by the explosive and collected by the MHD generator into a compact, lightweight 54kW XLaser ultraviolet FEL, which is then able to emit a 5ms pulse of 270kJ of energy against targets 4 kilometers downrange, with enough force to punch through dust and smoke. Alternatively, the same mechanism can be used to power a Counter Hardware Amplified Microwave Burst Electromagnetic Reverberation (CHAMBER) array in lieu of a digital quantum battery supercapacitor, enabling further miniaturization of the CHAMBER system without compromising the power output. Autonomous intercept by the Dagr system is enabled by an onboard AI suite fed theatre-level information and targeting based on each vehicle’s own onboard sensor suite, and HITL can be used to to take manual control of the system as an RCWS or reduce the lethality for non-lethal applications. The compact form factor of the Dagr system and ease of installation will see the new directed-energy APS installed aboard all STOICS Allied Land Command vehicles, providing new capabilities to vehicles that previously did not operate them.
  
• Existing MISS-based vehicle-mounted VLS APS will see upgrades to incorporate the same systems found aboard the MINI, SLIM and FIRM, enabling multi-packed arrangements of large volumes of interceptors alongside more capable rapid long-range intercepts on the same footprint.
  
• All existing units of the Stridsvagn 130 MBT, BAE Charger MBT, Pansarfordon 100 AFV, Pansarfordon 200 AFV, and other MBTs (such as those in Siberican service) will see the replacement of their existing main gun architecture. In addition to bringing the Charger’s main armament in line with the 125mm STANAG utilized by Nordic armored fighting vehicles, total replacement of breech, barrel, and firing mechanisms of each main gun with a self-lubricating graphene-gilded BNNT-CNT composite rated to survive 300+ kips of chamber pressure will offer much-needed range and accuracy improvements to existing vehicles. Derived from the same technologies found aboard modernized STOICS conventional artillery platforms, the new 125mm ETC-ignited tank cannon will include installation of supporting BLLP architecture. A new solenoid-driven regenerative injection system that depends on an EM-assisted piston to continuously inject a highly-insensitive C8(NO2)8-based bulk loaded liquid propellant into the chamber during the firing sequence will ensure that chamber pressure closely and consistently matches the maximum theoretical pressure ceiling of the BNNT-CNT gun while the projectile is traveling down the barrel. Due to the highly-insensitive nature of the Octanitrocubane-based monopropellant (which can only be ignited by a specific ETC charge), self-healing conformal plumbed tanks and piping have been installed on the periphery of the vehicle, underneath the armor and structural layers. Because BLLP guns do not require the propellant to be mated to each individual round, this configuration enables a much larger volume of 125mm ammunition (the Strv 130’s fully-domesticated 125mm APFSDS and Advanced Multi-Purpose rounds) to be carried in the same vehicle. Each AM-P round has also been upgraded to utilize a similarly-insensitive ETC-ignited Octanitrocubane explosive filler, eliminating the risk of ammo cookoff from external sources.
  
• All autocannon-equipped variants of the Stridsfordon 100, Stridsfordon 200 Blóðughóf, and Patgb 480 Léttfeti vehicle lines and other IFVs will receive major upgrades to their main armaments. Similar to the changes affecting the main battle tanks, these vehicles will be transitioned towards high-pressure self-lubricating graphene-gilded BNNT-CNT composite barrels and breaches of equivalent caliber, with supporting infrastructure for EM-assisted ETC-ignited highly-insensitive C8(NO2)8-based BLLP architecture installed. By using a liquid propellant modular gun configuration, each single-barrel 30mm or 40mm autocannon will be able to achieve adjustable rates of fire comparable to legacy Bofors weapons while carrying a much larger projectile magazine internally. Capitalizing on the highly-insensitive nature of the Octanitrocubane-based propellant, new self-healing and conformal monopropellant plumbed tanks have been added to each IFV as a rear module or aboard sponsons, offering additional lightweight protection similar to that of the BMP-1’s doors.
  
• Because the single-barrel configuration of the liquid propellant modular gun offers excellent adjustable firing rates comparable to existing machine guns, the same architecture used to upgrade IFV autocannons to a BLLP standard will be further miniaturized into a .50 BMG chain gun. This 50-cal BLLP Heavy Machine Gun equivalent is constructed out of BNNT-CNT composite parts with self-lubricating graphene gilding, and will offer similar capabilities to the Profense PF 50 while benefiting from the same logistical advantages as the larger-caliber BLLP auto/cannons. The .50 BMG BLLP Chain Gun will see widespread roll-out as a universal replacement for existing manned, coaxial, and RCWS-mounted machine guns used by STOICS Allied Land Command, standardizing the direct fire support capabilities and increasing lethality (particularly when replacing legacy 7.62mm NATO weapons). A new ultralight remote control weapons station module (consisting of the BLLP weapon, monopropellant lines, motorized RCWS, Li/Mg-Air battery architecture, and other supporting systems) similar to CROWS and based on the SWARM system has been designed specifically for installation aboard vehicles with manned machine gun turrets and mounts (such as the Bearcat G4 and Bearcat MRAP). Where necessary, monopropellant tankage modules will also be installed aboard each vehicle, and logistical gains are further enhanced when the BLLP Chain Gun is mounted aboard vehicles with a primary armament reliant on the same technology. For example, the Strv 130 MBT’s main gun, coaxial gun, and RCWS-mounted secondary gun will all share the same monopropellant tankage, freeing up greater volumes inside the vehicle for other applications (such as increased projectile magazines).
  
• The ARMER system will see a tankage module specifically adapted for the replenishment of liquid monopropellant, enabling the UGV to reuse the infrastructure that enables in-field refueling to ensure a sufficient supply of C8(NO2)8 is available for use by any ground vehicle (instead of just artillery). This same upgrade will also be used to enable autonomous refueling of other armored fighting vehicles and transports, enabling the ARMER to service more vehicles.
  
• All existing Bv 206 vehicles will receive upgrades bringing them in line with the Escalada Ramiro, effectively streamlining maintenance of both vehicles. Likewise, these all-terrain armored personnel carriers will be transformed into optionally-manned transports via the installation of UGV conversion kits.
  

Even following the conclusion of the Last Crusade, Cyprus remains heavily-garrisoned, initially in response to persistent tensions between Greece and Turkey which delayed draw-down of localized STOICS forces. Likewise, the continuing hostilities between former ACTOR members have effectively foiled any short-term aerial redeployment to other European bases by air or sea. For better or worse, STOICS (and by extension, GIGAS) maintains a significant force presence in the eastern Mediterranean.
GIGAS exercises conducted alongside incoming Japanese forces and Cypriot military and civil defence units will also include localized Big Irish and Nordic forces that continue to maintain garrisons within the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia and the former UN Buffer Zone. Tri-service/Civilian/Reserve joint drills will focus on ensuring interoperability of all local forces during a mock invasion of the island.
The Citadel will stand.

STOICS Allied Air Command (SVALINN)

Due to the reasons mentioned above, a significant number of SVALINN assets from the Republican Air Force and Royal Commonwealth Air Army continue to call Cyprus home, greatly supplementing the United Cypriot Republican Air Force. Force dispersal of UKOBI/CNK aerial forces headquartered on the island applies to the following locations:

• RAF Akrotiri
• Dhekelia Airfield
• RAF Nicosia
• Andreas Papandreou AFB
• Paphos International Airport
• Lakatamia AFB, Nicosia
• Nicosia International Airport
• Satellite Krigsflygbaser

RAF/RCAA contributions to the airborne force strength on the island consist of the following squadrons:

• 168 x RAF BAE Systems Winter Tempest A
  
• 72 x RCAA JAS 40 Vinteroväder A
  
• 96 x RAF F-35A Lightning II OUR
  
• 98 x RCAA F-35B Lightning II OUR

STOICS Allied Maritime Command

In contrast to aerial forces, a large number of fleet assets from both the Republican Navy and Royal Commonwealth Naval Army have been cycled out to support expeditionary deployments in various international theatres. In spite of this, the INC retains a significant naval presence, with Irish and Nordic vessels expected to act in concert with RUC Coast Guard assets for littoral defence of the island. These naval assets are currently homeported in the following locations:

• The Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia
  
• Evangelos Florakis Naval Base
  
• Port of Limassol
  

The flagship of the STOICS Allied Maritime Command Cyprus naval garrison is the RCNA Landsdelar (Izumo)-class HMS Svealand, which features the following composition for its carrier air wing:

• 20 x RCNA F-35B Lightning II OUR
  
• 8 x RCNA Veðrfölnir-M
  
• 4 x RCNA Skuadern-M
  
• 7 x RCNA V-2 Minira with assorted TRUMP pallets
  

The vessel’s escorts and surface action group include the following vessels:

• 1 x RCNA Hotaka-class
  
• 15 x RN Type 72 Damascene-class
  
• 2 x RCNA Gustavus Adolphus Magnus-class
  

Each of the eighteen surface combatants listed above organically features the following onboard assets:

• 1-3 × LAMPS helicopter equivalent depending on tonnage, likely V-2 Minira with TRUMP MPA/ASW pallets
  
• 2 x Skeldar rotary-wing unmanned UAV
  
• 12 x Torped 64 Brugds
  
• 24 x ST Marine Mercury AUVs
  
• 48 x CHASMs
  
• 1 x MarDet consisting of 55 x Kustjägarna or Republican Marines
  

In addition to smaller UUVs, subsurface support is conducted by 12 x Silent Diana N-class ultra-deep diving XLUUVs. Refueling and rearmament of localized assets is handled by 1 x RN Tide-class tanker, which remains on-station.
These naval forces (and Cypriot coast guard units) will soon be supplemented by the "Ghost Fleet", which is already inbound.

STOICS Allied Land Command

UKOBI and CNK land forces are currently dispersed throughout the following facilities, sometimes alongside fellow Cypriot units:

• Famagusta Joint Services Port Utility (repaired, reactivated)
• Famagusta Family Shop and NAAFI HQ (repaired, reactivated)
• Famagusta NAAFI Transport Yard (repaired, reactivated)
• Episkopi Cantonment
• Paramali North and South Quarters
• Alexander Barracks
• Ayios Nikolaos Station
• Dhekelia Cantonment
• Nightingale Barracks
• Former Greek bases
• Former Cypriot National Guard locations
• Former Cyprus Turkish Peace Force Command locations

The Based Forces Cyprus Garrison represents the military core for tri-services coordination, and consists of the following:

• 1,990 x Army soldiers
• 1,158 x RAF ground and air crew
• 38 x RN staff

The UKOBI also retains a permanent garrison of 100 x Special Boat Service Republican Marine Commandos and a company of 150 x Republican Gurkha Rifles, who have remained on site since the Last Crusade. The Gurkhas stage primary out of small mountain bases throughout the island, whereas the SBS are located in Allied Maritime Command homeports.

FROM THE DESK OF RONALDO

November 13, 2044:

THE LONG CLIMB

As relentless technological progression headily closes in on the halfway point of the century, unmanned technologies have established themselves as the penultimate metagame for the world's leading global entities; the Kingdom of Siberica intends to merge its unparalleled military niche in realm of electronic warfare with alpine combat.

The Escalada Ramiro

Siberica has long sought for a Andorran-oriented variant to our limited number of the Nordic Bandvagn 206S and the slightly more modern BvS 10, a series of tracked articulated all-terrain armoured vehicles produced by BAE systems. Though successors began to transition their performance capacity from high-altitude environments to amphibious and all-roader terrain, the concept still stands as a personalised and highly suitable model that we intend to turn into an AFV for the mountains.
The single greatest limiting factor to vehicular transport in alpine combat is verticality; all terrain vehicles can only go as far as there is road, and thus airmobility needs to evolve from wishful thinking into a practical necessity. The first, easiest change modifies the Ramiro's articulations into composite rubber tracks, a snowmobile-oriented variant with specifications that deny any amphibious viability in favour of shaving off further weight.
What's harder is the plating. Taking inspiration from the Chinese, the Ramiro will utilise Electromagnetic Reactive Armour - as a much more expensive but much lighter alternative to conventional Explosive Reactive Armour. Made up of three Magnesium HiK conductive plates separated by an insulating Ti3C2Tx MXene/starch derived carbon foam composite, the material creates a high-power capacitor that it closes its circuit when an incoming body attempts to penetrates its plates, discharging a great deal of energy into the penetrating munition, diffusing it into a plasma. The setup is complemented with superior electromagnetic interference shielding, but it's reliant on a high-voltage power source for combative operation.
To resolve this, Siberica looks to its Li-Air battery upgrade for the VANIR; in a slightly more miniaturised variant than what is utilised for our navy, the Ramiro contains a nanoporous gold positive electrode in conjunction with a cerium-aluminium compound oxide support, held in a dimethyl sulfoxide electrolyte. Capable of performing at a substantially greater pace than carbon-based electrodes at the cost of instability, the unit is steadied by the implementation of a binder built from a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer that prevents risk of damage or energy fluctuation.
These redesigns accommodate the Ramiro's air-portability to a total mass of 5 tonnes, allowing the armoured vehicle to be carried by two NHI NH90 HT-29 Caimán helicopters in separate halves or one PZL W-3L Sokół Long rotary wing.
Utilising a Cummins 6.5 litre in-line six-cylinder turbocharged diesel 250 kW engine and the chassis, drivetrain and suspension of the BvS 10, the Ramiro boasts a top speed of 70km on roads and will be the first vehicle to utilise spintronic technology for pseudospin camouflage panelling, a next-generation successor to the Adaptive IR and E-Ink model currently utilised by the INC. Sensors and targeting modules utilise the same technologies implemented in the Stridsvagn 130.
The Ramiro operates two upgraded HITROLE Light CROWS in the front car (Which can be fitted with 12.7mm machine guns or 60mm automatic grenade launchers), and two AT-21 Gusar ATGM launchers in the rear car; a cargo variant is available that can seat 12 people and 3.25 tonnes over the standard 10 people and 2 tonnes. In replacement to conventional grenades, a miniature derivative of the Daño por Salpicadura High Power Microwave will be utilised as the primary munition instead. The projectile suppresses electronics by inducing electric currents into cables and circuitry, interfering with and overheating target electronics; upon specifying target identification, the HPM can instantaneously discharge and disable large quantities of military technology simultaneously. Each Daño por Salpicadura munition has a radius of 350m.
The Kingdom of Siberica desires to begin production by late 2046 with a development cost of $950 million, and secure 250 units by 2049 at a cost of $11.5 million per unit.

General Timo Kivinen was not a happy man. The old soldier had been deployed to Syddanmark as part of the largest Nordic show of force since the end of the Cold War, and had been personally tasked to coordinate defence on the ground. Even after eight years of joukkotuotanto, Kivinen considered the Danes a sorry substitute for the Finnish veterans he was used to commanding, heightening his unusually sour mood. “I’m telling you, Your Royal Highness,” the General barked into a secured telephone carried by a terrified Danish orderly, “we have more pressing issues on the ground than your little ‘pet project’. We definitely have the soldiers, and we have the guns, but we don’t have the proper support vehicles to really flesh out the organization you originally wanted. This was clearly a major oversight.”
There was a pregnant pause on the other line, before an effeminate voice replied meekly, “So what’s the current plan to alleviate the shortcomings?”
“For the time being, I can integrate the Kuninkaallinen Tykistö structure into the Armored Mechanized forces who do have the correct requisite systems,” the Finn barked. “But that’s a stopgap measure at best, and prevents independent maneuver of the Artillery Brigades, somewhat limiting our flexibility.” He paused, deep in thought. “I should point out this will be sufficient in the short run,” the General continued, this time more gently. “At the very least, the Coastal Defence Batteries have everything they need to operate on their lonesome. But for the rest of the Royal Artillery, I really do need the additional materiel,” he stressed.
There was a moment of silence on the secured channel, before Princess Estelle finally replied. “General Kivinen,” the Duchess of Östergötland said, “I’ll see what I can do.”

For your eyes only

While the Commonwealth remains at a heightened state of wartime readiness, an unspecified private analyst has brought the need for an emergency acquisition to my immediate attention. As such, I am immediately putting forward a series of single-source procurement requests for the following batch of vehicles for each of the extant twenty-four Kuninkaallinen Tykistö:

• 40 x Stridsledningspansarbandvagn 100 Forward Command Vehicle
  
• 50 x Eldledningspansarbandvagn 100 Reconnaissance Vehicle
  
• 10 x Ingenjörbandvagn 100 Combat Engineering Vehicle
  
• 10 x Bärgningsbandvagn 100 Armored Recovery Vehicle
  
• 10 x Drönarsvärmarfordon 100 Drone Barrage Vehicle
  
• 20 x Luftvärnskanonvagn 100 Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun
  
• 10 x UAV 03 Örnen
  
• 5 x Bv 206 ARTHUR Counterbattery Radar Vehicle
  
• 5 x Bv 206 Giraffe Mk4 Ground Surveillance Radar Vehicle, equipping the Giraffe 4A AESA.
  
• 100 x Bv 410 LCV Armoured tracked all-terrain Logistics Carrier Vehicle with Flatbed Rear Module
  
• 100 x Scania PRT-range Logistics Trucks
  

These vehicles will be integrated into the Kuninkaallinen Tykistö command structure as they become available (split equally between each of their five battalions), gradually allowing Royal Artillery Brigades the benefit of independent maneuver without localized support from the Pansarmekaniseradbrigader without disrupting current operations. Strf100-based vehicles and their attached systems are expected to be delivered to operating theatres at a rate of 160-per-month, with the Bandvagn 410s and PRT-range trucks delivered in batches of 56-per-month from Bofors-Hägglunds and Scania, respectively. Excess and available production capacity will be leveraged where possible, and if any assembly lines are unable to meet these timelines, net-new lines will be opened in order to avoid disruption of existing production.
Finally, the Armies of the Royal Commonwealth will approach Leonardo with a single-source contract to equip the Royal Artillery Brigades with the HALO mark 2 as a quick-deployable Artillery sound ranging solution.

Battalion fire support company has 12 81mm mortars, 8 90mm RCL, and 8 K4 automatic grenade launchers. Company level fire support has 3 60mm mortars. Each infantry squad has 6 K2 rifle with one NVG, 1 K201 and 1 K3. After mobilization, additional K2 and K201 is augmented to squad. GPMG no longer in service. Additional firepower for the squad is either a Panzerfaust with a launcher and three rockets or 2 to 4 M72 LAW. Warrior Platform (9) A new generation of infantry equipments are planned to implement to enhance the basic infantrymen's capabilities. These mean, they will receive equipments normally reserved for special forces suchg as night vision goggle, eye protection, optics for rifes. Each infantryman will also be networked to be aware of situation. Starting from 2014 infantry battalion have dedicated sniper unit (2) who unlike Special Forces who uses foreign made sniper rifles, these units will more likely to use domestic K14 sniper rifle. As part of Defense Reform Plan 2020, Infantry regiments in the Republic of Korea Army Division are now reorganized as brigade with more organic units will be added. (5) & (6) Instead of three battalions, new brigade organization will have five. Regimental Fire Support Company will be upgraded to battalion with 105 mm self propelled gun EVO-105, reconnaissance company will include drone elements, supply company will be upgraded to support battalion, NBC unit will be included. Each infantry battalion will have drone unit for reconnaissance and attack (10) and 81mm mortar will be replaced by new 120mm mortar and company's 60mm mortar with new generation of 81mm mortar. 8 90mm recoilless rifle which is battalion asset will be replaced by Hyungoon antitank missile and 8 K4 automatic grenade launcher will be replaced by new generation of AGL. Squad's antitank asset is either Panzerfaust 3 with three rockets or 2 to 4 M72 LAW. This reorganization gives more independent command for the brigade and other enhancement to give army corp from current 30(width) by 70km (depth) area of operations to 60 by 120. Before December 2020, average squad size was 8 with 4 riflemen, 2 grenadier, 1 saw gunner and 1 assistant gunner and reinforced by two reservists. From December 2020 onward, squad size will be eight.

Bombardier has been issued a single-source contract from the Northern Union Ministry of Defence for delivery of a pair of new tracked vehicles. The company has not seen construction of non-aviation defence systems since its divestiture of land-based defence products, when the Urban Transportation Development Corporation ceased operations in 1991, but the firm is eager to make a comeback and sees this integration project as a key opportunity.

M360 Griffin Air-Mobile Tank

Specifications	Details
Crew	2
Length	8 m
Width	2.5 m
Height	2 m
Main Armament	120 mm W/GLC-1 ETC-Coilgun hybrid cannon
Secondary Armament	RWS-mounted 12.7 mm machine gun and 40 mm automatic grenade launcher
Engine	Detroit Diesel Hybrid Diesel-Electric 1150 hp
Speed	77 km/h
Range	450 km
Unit Cost	$3.1 Million

A key requirement of NUMOD’s contract includes a request for a mobile protected firepower solution, involving a light tank that can be air-dropped from platforms similar to the C-130 Hercules. To keep development costs low, Bombardier has selected the NAC-declassified plans of the pre-dissolution General Dynamics Griffin Demonstrator as the baseline for their new vehicle. Fulfilling all design selection criteria, the M360 Griffin Light Air-Mobile Tank (AMT) is an armored platform optimized for direct air delivery of top-of-the-line firepower to expeditionary forces located in hostile battlefield environments.
Unlike GD’s Griffin demonstrator which mounted the XM360 tank gun, the Bombardier-designed vehicle’s turret integrates a KHI/GA 120mm W/GLC-1, the same weapon used by the M22A3 Juipter Main Battle Tank. Uniquely, the weapon’s General Atomics-designed electromagnetic accelerator system transforms the ETC tank cannon into a high-performance coilgun. For further space savings, the tank employs an advanced autoloader system inside its turret, which is kept separate from the M360’s armored crew compartment for added survivability.
The M360 is armored by a lightweight boron nitride nanotube composite based on ancilia plating, stacked in a dynamic armor configuration for extra protection. This is complemented by the vehicle’s exterior e-ink paint layer, which offers dynamic camouflage options for operators.
Further protection is provided by the Overwatch miniaturized VLS Active Protection System, with the APS’ EHF AESA radar substituted for a photonic graphene MIMO array that also replace’s the tank’s communications suite. Due to weight restrictions, Bombardier has decided to forgo installation of a quantum radar, though Raytheon has promised a follow-up solution for the vehicle at a later date.
Ten miniaturised wide-field EO/IR hybrid cameras set into the tank’s chassis behind reinforced quartz windows stream high-resolution video directly to VirTWO V/AR headsets worn by operators, providing a 360-degree field of view around the vehicle. Thermal imaging night vision, a laser range finder, and computerized fire control are all included as part of the vehicle’s sensor suite.
A further reduction in weight and space is achieved by the M360’s two-man crew. The reduced crew size is only made possible by close cooperation with an onboard Artificial Intelligence which performs gunnery control functions and supplements the activities of the vehicle’s human occupants.
The M360 uses the lightweight electric drivetrain of the Inouye family of fighting vehicles, with major weight savings gained by use of steel-titanium metamaterial tracks.
With the Griffin fully air-mobile on the V-75A Gyrfalcon Tilt-rotor, the Northern Union Special Forces have placed an advanced order for 200 of M360 AMT vehicles, to be equally-distributed between the five special forces battalions.

M1171 Lynx All-Terrain Carrier

Specifications	Details
Capacity	Up to 14 Powered Armor Infantrymen
Maximum Cargo Load	8000 kg
Length	7 m
Width	1.8 m
Height	2.4 m
Armament	Up to 2 x RWS-mounted 12.7 mm machine gun and 40 mm automatic grenade launcher or W/ATG-1 Gatilda ATGM launch system
Engine	Detroit Diesel Hybrid Diesel-Electric 275 hp
Speed	65 km/h
Range	1000 km
Unit Cost	$800,000

Designed as a long-overdue replacement for the Bv 206S Armored Personnel Carrier, the M1171 Lynx All-Terrain Carrier (ATC) is a tracked articulated, all-terrain armored personnel carrier consisting of two units and four powered tracks. The dual-body vehicle is designed to provide operational support in any conditions and in any terrain. This makes it especially suited for offroad use in Arctic Warfare and High-altitude Mountain Warfare scenarios. Because the M1171 is also fully-amphibious without prior preparation, the Lynx is also an attractive offering for Northern Union Marines.
The vehicle is designed for a maximum payload capacity of 8,800 kg or up to fourteen Lorica Helios Exosuit-equipped personnel, with inductive charging built into each seat allowing powered armor operators to recharge from the vehicle’s electrical system. Either cabin of the vehicle can be fitted with an optional remote weapons station module, providing M1171 crews firepower at the expense of internal storage. The RWS can mount either a hybrid 12.7 mm machine gun and 40 mm automatic grenade launcher or a W/ATG-1 Gatilda ATGM launch system.
The M1171 Lynx ATC borrows other key elements from the M360 Griffin AMT, including its upgraded Overwatch APS, all-electric drivetrain, steel-titanium metamaterial tracks, BNN composite armor plate, and e-ink dynamic camouflage. Exterior-facing windows on the vehicle’s early design prototypes have been removed, and the Griffin’s wide-field EO/IR hybrid camera setup has been installed to offer occupants an additional layer of protection.
The NU Model Army, Northern Union Special Forces, and Northern Union Marine Corps have all expressed interest in the vehicle, and have submitted a pre-order as follows:

Branch	Lynxes on Order
Northern Union Special Forces	200
Northern Union Marine Corps	300
NU Model Army	1000

Given research and development, the expected delivery date for both classes of vehicle to Northern Union armed forces operators falls to December of 2050, with the Borden Gigafactory Complex responsible for manufacture of the AMT and ATC.

NOTE: Do not ask me how long this took, you don't want to know.
European Federation federal government:
We have decided to publish a complete military inventory to show the world our capabilities.

European Army

Main Battle Tank From 2031, onward, the European Federation has mass produced the KB 32/FL 32 tank, this state of the art hydrogen tank has replaced most of France’s, Spain’s and Italy’s outdated tanks.
France and Germany also developed the Leopard 3, which was released a few years earlier. The European Federation has inherited quite a few of them from Germany, Austria and Frace. Recently, we announced the development of the Leopard 4. With this combined technology, the Leopard 3 will be upgraded to the Leopard 3A2 and the KB-32 to the KB-40.

• 1598(950 active) Leopard 3A2 (upgraded from Leopard 3A1)
  
• 1280(1280 active) KB-40 (upgraded from KB-32)
  
• 320(320 active)+480 new Leopard 4 MBT (3 years left)
  

Infantry Fighting Vehicle
The Puma is the newest model, and with help from Italian Iveco Fiat Oto Melara, US General Dynamics (owns the former Spanish/Austrian ASCOD designers), German Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Rheinmetall Landsysteme and French Nexter Systems, it will be upgraded to a modernized 3+6 tracked Puma 2. The Puma 2 differentiates itself from the multi-role Jaguar (see next) through its higher firepower and tracked wheels, almost like a light tank.

• 200(200 active) Dardo IFV (3+6; tracked)
  
• 630(630 active) Centauro Freccia IFV (3+8; 8x8)
  
• 486(486 active) ASCOD (Pizarro/Ulan) IFV (3+8; tracked)
  
• 749 Puma IFV (3+6; tracked)
  
• 240(240 active)+360 Puma 2 IFV (3 years left)
  

Armoured Personnel Carrier
The Griffon VBMR (or Scorpion EMBR) is the newest vehicle together with the GFF4.

• 580(580 active) Puma APC (400x 1+6; 6x6 & 180x 1+3; 4x4)
  
• 316(316 active) Pandur II APC (2+12 non-turret, 3+6 turret; 8x8)
  
• 2,568(1000 active) Griffon VBMR APC (also multi-role capability; 3+8; 6x6)
  
• 400(400 active) GFF4 medium APC (1+10; 6x6)
  
• 218(200 active) Dingo 2 light APC (3+5; 4x4)
  

Multirole Armored Vehicle
In the late 1990s, Germany, Britain and France started a joint program to produce a mechanized AFV capable of both recce, anti-tank, IFV and APC roles. However, France and Britain quit and all went into their own directions with the project, resulting in the French VBCI and German Boxer. Both of these have already had upgrades. Together they have designed a revolutionary new multi-role vehicles that when equipped with different modules can perform different roles, like the Boxer and VBCI, called the Lion. The Lion will replace many of the outdated Spanish and Italian APCs.

• 1,797 GTK Boxer b MRAV (3+8 APC variant; 8x8)
  
• 920(920 active) VBCI 2 MRAV (3+10 APC variant; 8x8)

SAWL inventory coming soon (if ever)

After the invasion of Eastern Europe, Finland remained silent, fearing a similar incursion over their own border. But by attacking Norwegian air bases and oil fields, Russia brought the war into the Nordic region. Following this, Finland contacted their close EU and NATO partners and the development of an elaborate operation began, planning to make Russia pay for their crimes.
The [TOP SECRET] operation plan is as follows: (Map -- All times are estimates.)

Preparation

• T-6 days to T-2 days: Some Finnish citizens and the government are secretly temporarily evacuated from Helsinki and other coastal towns at the Gulf of Finland, brought to rural areas in Finland's east and north. Finnish and other allied troops fortify the Russian border with heavy road blocks and air defences. Allied troops. The allied fleets are joined by reinforcements from various other nations. Precaution will be cited as the reason if uncovered.
  
• T-48 Hours: The allied fleets in the North Sea begin moving northwards.
  

Stage I

• T=0 Finland officially declares war on Russia. Allied aircraft attack Russian military bases and the Russian Northern Fleet. The allied fleets attack the Northern Fleet. Allied artillery fires at military bases near the Norwegian border. Allied land forces cross the Russian borders of Finland and Norway.
  
• T+1.5 hours: The allied troops of the Northern route reach the Luostari/Pechenga helicopter air base. The base has been attacked by artillery previously and the allied troops capture it.
  
• T+2 hours: The allied troops of the Northern route reach Pechenga. The military installations of the town have been attacked by artillery and the allied forces move to capture it. Pechenga is the final objective of Northern Stage I. The allied troops fortify their positions after capturing the settlement.
  
• T+3.5 hours: Allied troops reach the Loukhi-3 air strip. The unused air strip will be taken and fortified, and will be used to land allied aircraft for supplies and reinforcements if suitable. Securing the air strip is the final objective of Central-Southern Stage I.
  
• T+4 hours: Allied troops reach Kandalaksha and the Vitino oil port. These are the final objectives of Central-Northern Stage I. The town and the port will be captured. The Kirov Railway will be blocked here.
  
• T+5.5 hours: Allied troops reach the small settlement of Kochkoma. The settlement and the nearby E105 road are the final objectives of Southern Stage I. The railway will be blocked.
  

Stage II

• The allied fleets continue their assault on the Northern Fleet. Once successful, they will secure the Barents Sea and provide support for the land forces.
  
• Some of the troops of the Central-Southern route move slightly forward and capture the Loukhi settlement. The railroad will be blocked.
  
• After fortifying their gained position, the allied troops of the Southern route move forward again. They spread out to capture various settlements along the White Sea-Baltic Canal and Lake Segozerskoye. Bridges will be destroyed or blocked and guarded. Southern Stage II concludes with the borders closed and the front secured.
  
• Reinforcement troops start advancing from the Finnish border. They move towards Murmansk to meet the allied Northern troops.
  
• After securing Kandalaksha and the oil port, part of the Central-Northern troops will spread out to capture settlements along E105 to the North and at the White Sea coast to the east.
  
• The Northern allied troops move out after sufficiently securing Pechenga. After a few hours, the small naval base at Linhammar will be reached and attacked. Then, the naval base Zapadnaya Litsa will be reached and attacked.
  
• The Northern troops and their reinforcements arrive at Murmansk and siege the city.
  

Stage III

The troops from the central commands spread out. They attack/take several other strategically important settlements and air bases. The southern front is reinforced. The siege on Murmansk is reinforced, with the help of the allied fleets. A naval blockade is created blocking the passage between White Sea and Barents Sea. Naval mines will be planted and the area will be permanently patrolled.

Troops

The naval fleets will act together and coordinate their moves.
The land equipment will be partially shared and distributed across the different invasion zones. The troops will have extensive air support. Allied air forces will establish
Ratio of land forces per zone (roughly): Northern: 50%; Central-Northern: 15%; Central-Southern: 10%; Southern: 25%

Operācija Lāčplēsis May 6th, 2032 Riga, Latvia 

Operācija Lāčplēsis

In the face of total war with the Russian Federation, with the intent of conquering and subjugating the Republic of Latvia, the Aizsardzības Ministrija has initiated an emergency protocol for total defence of the state, entitled Operācija Lāčplēsis. Operācija Lāčplēsis has two main focuses attributed to it, covering the realms of military and civilian activity:
Military
Effective immediately, the National Guard has been placed under the command of the Latvian Land Forces, and the Latvian National Armed Forces have been immediately mobilized to their rapid readiness stance of of 24,150 ([M] All of these are soldiers already in the ranks, there is no new recruitment yet). Additionally, emergency conscription and volunteer acceptance has begun in order to form the Latvian Defence League as ordered by the President, which will be primarily composed of ex-servicemen and civilian volunteers. Latvia's military police will also be called upon to help resist. The LDF will be armed with the 30,000 surplus Heckler & Koch G3 rifles that have been maintained in storage across the country since 2018. Additionally, all old or surplus equipment that can be mustered will be re-issued, including old camouflage patterns and protective gear. The LDF will reach a maximum size of 30,000 unless additional equipment can be sourced. All together, the following personnel and equipment can be called upon immediately to defend Latvia:

• Latvian Defence League
  
• Latvian Military Police

The obvious target of any Russian attack is likely the capital of Riga, with secondary points of importance likely being the cities of Liepāja and Ventspils as important ports and military air facilities. Latvia has no naturally defensible borders, and almost no geographic features such as valleys, rivers, or mountains that would lend itself to the traditional doctrine of establishing a solid defensive line; the only exception is the Venta River in the far west. The nature of a Russian attack is likely to be one of brute and overwhelming armoured/mechanized force and a strong emphasis on airborne troops. The Latvian National Armed Forces do not posses the tools to repel such an invading force in the position of a traditional static defence doctrine, and attempting to adopt such a doctrine would only play to our weaknesses and also play to the strengths of the Russians, whose forces are designed to rip apart such defences. Therefore, a strategy of "Flexible Total Defence" will be adopted which will make the best use of our material, manpower, and the terrain given to us. The first phase of defending the country will be focused on delaying the Russian armies with the Latvian National Guard as the bulk of the Latvian Land Forces assemble and mobilize near Riga. As they approach Riga, a much more solid front of resistance will be established west of Riga, Jelgava, and Bauska. The outskirts of Riga will be heavily contested through urban fighting, but if the capture of the city seems imminent it will be declared an open city and will surrender to the Russians to avoid catastrophic civilian casualties. [S] However, the international airport and the docks will be destroyed before such terms are offered. As soon as possible in the wake of this invasion, all government officials non-essential to the war effort will be evacuated to Stockholm so that a government in exile may be formed [/S]. The final phase of defence will consist of a fighting retreat west in another strategic delay zone to establish a second front of resistance along the general contours of the Venta River near Liepāja and Ventspils. If this front of resistance is overwhelmed, a final fighting retreat through a tertiary delay zone will bring the military to it's last stand at Liepāja and Ventspils ([M] Map here). The key to the Flexible Total Defence doctrine is delay, disruption, and maximum infliction of damage and casualties.
The details of the doctrine and the missions that are needed to be performed in carrying it out are as follows:

• The LNAF and the LDF will operate overall in a form of fluid and flexible defence, making heavy use of their large fleet of trucks and utility vehicles to rapidly transport men and material in attack, defence and retreat.
  
• They will operate as a well structure and well organized pseudo-guerrilla army, making heavy use of hit-and-run and Motti tactics. The Winter War will serve as a major source of inspiration in the defence of Latvia.
  
• Rather than presenting a single static frontline that makes a vulnerable target for Russian tanks and overwhelming firepower, dense and static concentrations of troops will be avoided within the delay zones, and instead looser concentrations of troops will make use of constant movement and flanking maneuvers against the cumbersome Russian columns.
  
• Latvia's heavily forested terrain and abundance of choke-points formed by large quantities of lakes, marshes, and limited all-year road access will greatly aid in the employment of these tactics, and will both restrict and impede the movement of mechanized columns or at the very least, draw them and their supporting infantry into highly unfavourable environments off the main roads.
  
• In combination with these tactics intended to play to the weaknesses of a largely mechanized forces, Latvian soldiers will be armed with anti-tank missiles and rockets to the fullest extent possible to turn the labyrinth of forests, lakes, and dirt roads into nightmarish death traps for Russian tanks and vehicles, and to make main roads kill zones as well.
  
• Heavy use will be made of well camouflage and well placed MANPADS and anti-aircraft guns to wreak havoc on low-flying airmobile and VDV troops should they deploy in large numbers using helicopters or older aircraft with weaker IR countermeasures.
  
• Major roads leading to Riga will be heavily sighted for ambushes, and we will be roadblocking these roads behind our retreating forces to delay Russian columns and buy as much time as possible. As our road transport is primarily light and nimble, we will have much less problems using the country roads compared to the Russians.
  
• The four Defensive Fronts/Points that will be established will employ identical tactics but will receive the benefit of our limited air support and significantly large concentrations of soldiers that will be able to make use of urban environments and rivers to aide in their defense. Once again however, large static defensive lines will be avoided as these will risk us having the main portions of our forces destroyed in a foolish attempts to fight on equal terms with the Russians.
  
• Troops operating in these zones will also be given the overwhelming majority of artillery support, armoured vehicles, and heavy anti-tank weapons to present a significant increase in the defensibilty of these narrower zones.
  
• Overall, the Defensive Fronts are intended as higher density and better armed defensive locales that will function as ultimate kill zones and provided the strongest points of resistance, intended to inflict maximum casualties and delays upon Russian forces.
  
• Civilian vehicles, food, and fuel will be appropriated to the maximum extent without harming rationing and evacuation efforts. Additionally, due to the fluid nature and large scope of our defence, the distribution and storage of military supplies will be much more decentralized. This will reduce our relibaility and need for more centralized and vulnerable supply network.
  
• The Latvian Naval Forces will be almost completely irrelevant in the context of this operation, and instead will immediately depart to join Royal Navy and Deutsche Marine fleets in the Baltic.
  
• The supreme ultimate goal of Operācija Lāčplēsis is to buy as much time as possible, and inflict as much damage as possible on Russian military forces.
  

According to this operation, the expected affects of Russian operations are expected to be the following:

• A significantly increased time frame in which it will take to completely overrun Latvia
  
• A significantly increased expenditure of resources becoming necessary for victory in Latvia
  
• A much higher degree of casualties and destruction inflicted upon personnel and hardware than expected
  
• A significant decrease in the strengths of their mechanized strategy, overwhelming numbers, and overwhelming firepower; particularly in reference to their airforce, as there will be no large, obvious, and static formations of troops to target with airpower, and strategic targets such as concentrations of fuel and supplies will be much more difficult to destroy effectively.
  
• A significant decrease in their ability to inflict massive damage on the LNAF and the LDF in a shorter time frame.
  

Civilian

Asides from being called up to serve in the LDF, any civilians who are capable and willing to take up arms by their own means are encouraged to in order to help defend the country, but do so at their own risk and free will. All the government will say at this time is that what the fatherland needs more than anything else is heroes. The primary focus of Operācija Lāčplēsis in terms of civilians is concerning their safety and conduct in the war zone. Civil authorities and emergency services will be the primary executors of this aspect of the operation, as general evacuations will begin immediately for civilians wherever possible, preferably by obviously marked trains as air travel will be too dangerous, but due to the limited resources at the government's disposal, civilians are being urged to evacuate to the east by road [S] This order and the mass panic that would follow an invasion is intended to serve as a massive obstruction to the Russians, who will find roads clogged with civilians [/S]. Any civilians who choose to remain in or cannot leave a combat zone are advised to stay indoors or seek any immediate shelter that is appropriate. All civilians will receive the full support and protection of the LNAF and the LDF whenever possible, as it is their sworn duty to protect the lives of the nation's citizens. Asides from this, civilians are encouraged not to collaborate with or support the Russian military to any degree, and only to concede to any requests or demands if their lives are threatened. As is the case in many other countries, Latvia will move to a full wartime emergency footing, with rationing and military seizure of industry, food, fuel, and supplies.
[M] I'm expecting my civilians to participate in mass acts of civil disobedience and passive resistance, because the Latvian populace would probably go apeshit over a Russian invasion.
In the words of President Raimonds Vējonis:
