Sirikwan sign arms deal with Dinos

The Sirikwanese have completed their big arms deal following "part 1" with the DDS, when a 2.1 billion zark deal for aircraft, tanks and other arms last week. "Part 2" is a 1.9 billion zark deal with the Dinos and includes :
  • 6 Dinomark XTs of XT/118-ii standard (a slightly cut-down version of the current Dino XT model with a few differences to sensors)
  • 60 refurbished K-16M attack aircraft, this is the standard Dino close support aircraft and is similar to the old Terran A-10 Thunderbolt II
  • 15,000 SM-26L machine guns and 3,000 TSM-26Y training guns
  • Missile loads and spares, as yet unspecified
The Sirikwanese have been neglecting their armed forces for a few years and been building a cash stockpile so financing both deals should prove no problem.
