Sirikwan buy Clone weapons

Sirikwan are quickly getting a reputation as being willing to buy defence equipment from anyone. They have already bought DDS and Dino weapons and have bought Bolitic and Tarbotian warships in the past. And now they have bought a large quantity of second-hand HCS aircraft.

120 A-85 COIN aircraft, 105 A/CH-26 helicopters and 20 CH-36 heavy lift helicopters will be delivered in the deal along with a quantity of ordinance and spares, plus some help for pilot training. The cost of the purchase has not been revealed by the Clones but it is thought it will offset some of the money the Clones owe the Sirikwanese for their help in setting up the Clone submarine industry and the pre-fabricated parts that will make up the first new submarines being built for the HCS Navy.
