The Republic of West Auralia

Linkers sha wrote:Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces release new long and short term plans going forward :

While a new major contender is upon Linkers Sha military procurement being Auralia [West Auralia] which the Linkers Shan have offered to procure more than over 240+ K9A1 self propelled tracked howitzer alongside the needed K10 Armored Ammunition Resupply Vehicle plus a single ship being a Cheon Wang Bong class LST for Linkers Sha marine operation which is well known to almost be non-existent up until now outside of hastily repurposed civilian amphibious transport in war time while the Linkers Shan in exchange will supply the Auralian Armed Forces with Eitan / Heron-TP UCAVs, a refit program of existing EL/M-2084 in Auralian service to the new Multi Sensor - Multi Mission Radar [MS-MMR] standards, Litening 5 and Reccelite XR targeting and reconnaissance pods, Spike NLOS 6th gen ATGMs as well as the purchase of EL/M-2080S Super Green Pine Radars and construction of EL/M-2090 very long range early-warning radar.

For the K9A1 itself the Linkers Shan wish for a specialized K9A1 Garuda MLI [Mid Life improvement] a special Linkers Shanized variant with it incorporating ergonomic and safety features from the K9A2 such as an Automatic Fire Suppress System (AFSS), Remote controlled weapon station (RCWS), Air conditioning, Composite rubber track, and enhanced armor [spall liner, and enhanced mine protection] alongside ABC (Automatic Bore Cleaner) devices, digital manuals for the K9, K10 and K11 and off course the K315 rounds alongside possibly the POM (PARA – Observation Munition)

The Auralian Government has confirmed that an order for a Cheon Wang Bong Class LST and K9A1s have been placed by the LS military, and that the Auralian defence manufacturers would begin fulfilling such orders as part of a greater deal and increasing military partnership between the two countries. The Auralian Government has also confirmed that additional radar acquisitions would occur as well as other infantry weapons systems for the Auralian Army. The K9A1s to be produced will be producing an interim LS-variant that would incorporate a number of safety and ergonomic features. Additional weapons systems and UCAVs would also be acquired by the Auralian Armed Forces to "further strengthen the Auralian military against foreign threats".

The Auralian Government is also willing to sell and produce K9A2s for the LS military in return for additional sales of David's Sling OR Arrow 2 & 3 SAM systems as a stopgap and complement to the development of the indigenous L-SAM, with a final decision to be made on the type of SAM required at a later date. Additionally, further systems of interest such as the Sparrow and other missile systems are under review for potential acquisition by the Auralian Defence Forces. In such an instance, the K9A1-LS would be produced in a certain specified quantity while manufacturing lines, supply chains and designs were finalised for the K9A2. The production of the K9A2 would then begin with a series of batch deliveries to deliver the remaining K9 SPGs on order.
