Report 22A

HIGHLY CLASSIFIED

Operation "desert Sun" is going on as planned.
Agent A9S managed to infilrate C1 thanks to FM9, and he gained the trust of the most influental media. They are currently sweepeng trough their top ranks, whcih means that they are vulnerable.

The section in charge of infiltration recommends that we use this chance and maintain controll of the media, also we recommend that the rest of our sleeper agents infiltrate C and C1, which will increase our influence further.

Agent X2.

Serbia has a new top secret heavily armored tank.


Accourding to the information we managed to obtain, the new tank is called 'T-9 Хилеосаурус' and it weights 160 tonnes, making it the heaviest modern tank in the world.
The plates are allegedly made out of combination of Aluminium, Iridium and an unknown metal named Titanium-9. It is also said that it is immune to all modern anti-tank missiles.

It is unknown if and when the prototype was made, or if the new tank is already in production.

Interesting, I wonder what how much each of these things cost.

[Svea Rike]

Interesting, General, will you be making more of these breaking news fics?

Oh and not to burst your bubble, I'm pretty sure the Overlord, Jagdmammut and every tank in the Russian arsenal weighs more than 90 tonnes.

Yep, i'll continue in this same thread.

I'll change it then.

[Svea Rike]

Why would Serbia need a tank that weighs 160 god damn tonnes?! Seems rather illogical to me, a country like Serbia would seem to need a smaller and lighter tank, capable of being produced easily in larger numbers. If anything, Russia or China could need this tank.

The idea of Serbia/BC building tanks that seemingly outweigh and outmatch Sentinels and possibly Manticores (half a decade before the first Manticore was even deployed during WW3 no less) doesn't sit right with me. Nothing against Serbia, but from a narrative standpoint, this is going too far into Alternate History Wank for my liking.

[Kalga]

Well... it is the news, so I guess we'll just have to take it with a grain of salt...

*bet 5 bucks that the project gets canceled due to foreign pressure, thus explaining why it never showed up past the mock up stage in universe*

I am answering to all comments above:

Maybe only a few were made and the production stopped.
Maybe it's still in development.
Maybe it's meant for heavy border defense.
Maybe it's made in cooperation with Russia.
Maybe it's exaggerated.
Maybe it's already made, waiting for ECA somwhere.
Maybe the Russians speeded it up.
Maybe aliens gave it to Serbia.
Maybe it's used as the commanding vehicle.

Serbia has developed a new destroyer.


Serbia has a new destroyer named 'Slicer'. Accourding to our sorces, it has an ability to cloak and somehow remain hidden on the radar.
Reports indicate that it is in the final stage of testing, patrolling the middle sea near the borders of Italy and Spain.

It is known that it's in production, but it is unclear how many were built until now.

Have you made these models yourself? They look fantastic! Maybe if you learned scripting and coding you could make an unofficial add-on faction?

Also, why are secret military projects in the news?

Not unless he also made this.

[Kalga]

Also, why are secret military projects in the news?

Because of the proliferation of cellphone cameras and easily accessible internet, as well as all those nosy people everywhere...

So no, he's not making them himself. Not saying that he ever claimed to be doing that, just clarifying.

Nope, i'm a total noobie when it comes to photoshop.
However, i have a few buddies who are learning to script and know basic moddeling, so maybe we team up and include the Byzantinum.

It's the news. Nosy people who don't care about their life untill they lose it.

Serbian project 530.


A few months ago we managed to get information about a new Serbian destroyer named 'Slicer', and now we have obtained a picture of what seems to be another military unit referred to as "Project 530".

There have been no more information about this vessel whatsoever, yet it seems to follow the pattern of the previously mentioned destroyer.

Balkan United?


It's reported that Serbia, Greece and Bulgaria are working on two very ambitous projects.
Our government managed to obtain information on one military project which is being developed on the Balkans.

The countries which were not so long ago struggling for survival are allegedly working together on two very ambitious projects.



Our source managed to get information on one of them, the 'Tesla' tank.

The tank seems to be based on technology of Nikola Tesla, a Serbian scientist by whom it was named.

It is reported that it is a long distance remote controll vehicle with undisclosed range of operation. It runs on electricity which is produced by a nuclear core.


Our source claims that the rest remains highly classified, and that he only managed to obtain the basic description.

Balkan going heavy.


We have managed to get an information that there's a new project on the Balkan. It is allegedly supported by Russian Federation, however it remains unknown it it's another joint project of the region or in which country it is being developed.

It is a project for a thirty five meter tall command vehicle powered by severial nuclear cores, which can also be used to fire 900mm artilery shells.

You sure want Serbia to be a superpower, huh? I doubt either Russia or Serbia would want to make a vehicle like this. Big, cumbersome and slow, it is a moving bomb target.

If only you knew.... *evil laugh*

Remember that it's reported as a commanding vehicle, which means it isn't mass produced and we can assume that it's armed with heavy AA weapons and good armor.
Also, it's powered by several nuclear cores, so we can assume that it's like a moving nuclear power plant. That should provide enough power for a decent speed.

Then again, this is the news, so it can be exagarated, missinformed or completely false.

Breaking News
The Balkans have invented the latest in photoshop technology.

Seriously though, A Nuclear tank? The damn thing makes the Landkreuzer Ratte seem sane.

I have to go rewrite Juggernaut to top it now.

Lets see, 5 mile wide gatling railgun firing antimatter, check
Exerts it's own gravitational field, check
Can crush aircraft carriers by driving over them, check
Will have a mission involving a pair of Manticore tanks driving into it to destroy it's antimatter-plasma-blackhole fusion generator core.
Interior guarded by nano-factories producing "Dreadnought" Superheavy tanks to patrol it's interior.

Well, the tiny Hopper tank can be mounted with a miniature nuclear battery...
