Hello,

I am contacting you at this time we are currently are looking to outfit and build a division of Airborne and Naval Infantry as well as fully outfit our Border Defence Forces. As First Choice has proven to be a good timely supplier we believe that First Choice would be a good choice for supplying some of our equipment. We are unaware of what exactly your company owns the rights to and would like to work with you to build a list of possible equipment. Our divisions typically consist of 3 x Infantry Regiments, 1 x Artillery Regiment, 1 X Mortar Battalion, 1 x Anti-Air Battalion, 1 x Assault Gun Battalion, 1 x Combat Engineer Battalion, 1 x Signal Battalion, 1 x Medical Battalion, 1 x Transport Battalion , and 1 x Reconnaissance Battalion. One thing to note is we would like to outfit both of these with the same equipment so it must be amphibious and air drop-able, or at least be able to ford deeper waters.

However there are a few pieces of equipment we are interested in, specifically transports for these two divisions and a few other bits. The C-5M Super Galaxy, A400M-180 Atlas, C-130J Super Hercules, AS532 Cougar, and Tiger HAP. We were working on a deal with the Russians that involved purchasing for each division 16 x BMD-4 125-mm Tank Destroyers, 924 x BTR-MD Rakushka APC, 250 x BMD-4M ACV, 50 x Bumerang BTR-16 8x8 APC, 500 x GAZ-33097 4x4 Logistics Trucks, 10 x 2S1 Gvozdika 122-mm Self-Propelled Howitzers, 6 x Vena 120-mm Self-Propelled Mortar Carriers, 16 x Credo-1E Unified Moving Target Locating Radar, 16 x Fara-VR Ground Surveillance Radar, 36 x Kornet-D 4x4 ATGM Platforms, 4 x Gibka-S, and 168 x GAZ Tigr 4x4 Infantry Mobility Vehicle. Then for major transports combined we were looking at 36 x Ilyushin Il-76MD-90A Strategic Transport Aircraft, 36 x Mil Mi-26T2 Heavy-Lift Helicopters, 108 x Mil Mi-38 Medium-Lift Helicopters, 14 x Ivan Gren-class landing ships, 8 x Ropucha-class landing ships, and 28 x Alligator-class landing ships.

Would first choice be able to supply equivalents of some of this equipment? As well as the equipment we have expressed interest in?
