Armor Division

INFO:
STAB: Outfitted with a two plane gun stabilizer
IRCM: Outfitted with Infrared Anti-Missile countermeasures
NVD: Outfitted with general Night Vision Devices (IR - Infrared Thermals, XR[SW] - Short-Wave X-Ray Internal Survey and Advanced Recon Systems)
ALCS: Outfitted with an Autoloading Cannon System
*OD:PSU: "Outdated: Produced Still In Use"
RAD(LD): Outfitted with RADAR tracking and search systems (Look Down Pulse-Doppler available)

    > GM-154 Main Battle Tank:
      Medium Tank
      STAB - IRCM - NVD(IR-XRSW) - ALCS
      130mm 3KD57 Rifled Gun
      UBR-92D 130mm APCBC (Armor Piercing Capped-Ballistic Capped) Shell (Filler: 2.7kg COMP-6)
      MNF-3-2 mod. 3KD57 130mm APFSDS (Armor-Piercing-Fin-Stabilized-Discarding-Sabot Round)
      UBRT-81M-2 130mm TaAPCBC (Tungsten-alloy-Armor-Piercing-Capped-Ballistic-Capped Shell)
      Hull Armor:
      1550MoS 60° Sloped Titanium-Alloy Ceramic-Polymer Composite (TAC2) Frontal Armor Plate
      785MoS Titanium-Alloy Side Armor Plates
      510MoS 45° Sloped Titanium-Alloy Rear Armor Plate

      TITAN-K Reactive Armor Plates
      IK-8 mod. 154 Turret:
      2500MoS TAC2 Full-Round Turret Armor
      8x T-K-6M Electric Drivetrain Motors (eq. 3600hp)
      Shemetova Hydraulic Spring Suspension
      Note: An engineering marvel with newly produced TITAN-4 Reactive Armor Plates on the turret and the front, both upper and lower glacis. The TITAN-4 Plates explode outwards when hit by a projectile, effectively creating "new armor" that needs penetrating. A spall liner was not included in this tank, due to an included 10mm air gap in the composite armor near the inside of the tank. The autoloader eliminates the need for a 3-person crew, however a contingency loader/gunner is included in the crew in the unlikely event that the tank still functions after a very improbable hit to the ammo rack/autoloader. The IRCM protects the crew and components from ATGMs by disrupting guidance and preemptively detonating the charge.
      Variants:
      A: The GM-154A is the "stock" described above
      B: The GM-154B is equipped with the 17GZh5 "Kogi" hardkill system that destroys incoming ATGM, SCWH, and KEP with an explosive charge and shrapnel in the case that an ATGM cannot be softkilled with the IRCM. In addition, it has a new turret and gun elevator drive that increases slew traverse by 6.22 degrees/second from 25.1 degrees/second, and elevation traverse by 8.1 degrees/second from 24.2 degrees/second
      B-Y6: The GM-154B-Y6 is equipped with everything the GM-154B is, except with a thicker front plate and turret armor and an autoloaded missile pod that holds the 8K443 REX missile for cases in which it cannot penetrate an enemy.

    > GM-133A "Lynx 3a" Main Battle Tank [*OD:PSU]:

      Medium Tank
      STAB - ALCS - NVD(IR)
      130mm L-60M Rifled Gun
      UBR-92K 130mm APHECR (Armor-Piercing-High-Explosive-Composite-Rigid Shell)
      MNF-3-2 mod. L-60M 130mm APFSDS (Armor-Piercing-Fin-Stabilized-Discarding-Sabot Round)
      UBRT-81M 130mm TaAPCBC (Tungsten-alloy-Armor-Piercing-Capped-Ballistic-Capped Shell)
      Hull Armor:
      See dispatch "GM-133a 'Lynx 3a'"
      GF-S Chashmod 5mm Spall Liner
      GM-133A Vlasvod Turret:
      4x Tschovak Heavy Electric Drivetrain Motors (eq. 2500hp)
      Shemetova Hydraulic-Torsion Bar Hybrid Suspension with Rotary Shock Absorbers
      Note: The first tank to ever be completely run on electric power

    > LTR-T:

      Light Tank
      STAB - NVD(IR-XRSW) - ALCS - RAD
      90mm M-72 Rifled Gun
      UBR-32J 90mm APHEBC
      MNF-1B 90mm APFSDS
      776C 152mm ATGM (Anti-Tank Guided Missile)
      Hull Armor:
      315MoS 60° Roundsloped Frontal Homogeneous Titanium-Alloy Plate Armor
      275MoS 60° Roundsloped Side-Rear Homogeneous Titanium-Alloy Plate Armor
      GF-S Chashmod 5mm Spall Liner
      Chashmod Reactive Armor Plating
      LTR-T KS-4 Turret:
      265MoS Rounded F-S-R Cast Homogeneous Titanium-Alloy Armor
      VK-12 Engine (1500hp)
      Shemetova Hydraulic Compression Suspension
      Note: Outpaces most highway vehicles due to low weight and high horsepower. The LTR-T series is by far one of the most versatile combat vehicles the USSBSU has developed, with several different models. The most notable two secondary variants outside of the stock LTR-T are the LTR-T2C, with a single 45mm ChKL cannon found on some USSBSU planes, and the LTR-T(REX), which uses the REX anti-aircraft anti-tank supersonic ballistic-seeking guided missile (AAATSBSGM) in a number of ways.

    > IK-4 (YK-4 or JK-4):

      Heavy Tank
      STAB - NVD(IR)
      130mm B-23Y Rifled Gun
      U-32A 130mm Anti-Concrete Shell
      UBR-75U 130mm APHEBC
      MNF-5 130mm APATDS (Armor-Piercing-Anti-Tank-Discarding-Sabot Round)
      UBRT-301F 130mm TaAPF
      Hull Armor:
      945MoS 45° Sloped Frontal Homogeneous Titanium-Alloy Plate Armor
      830Mos Side-Rear Rolled Homogeneous Titanium-Alloy Armor
      GF-S9 Chashmod 20mm Spall Liner
      KL-47 2B Turret:
      1000MoS Rounded F-S-R Cast Homogeneous Titanium-Alloy Armor
      VK-37 Engine (1700hp)
      Shemetova Torsion Bar Suspension with Rotary Shock Absorbers
      Note: The IK-4 or Iuliya-Koroneva-4 was named after the leader of the leader of the USSBSU, and is incredibly durable

    > BU-67-Y:

      Tank Destroyer
      STAB(mod. 2122) - IRCM - NVD(IR)
      212mm G-8 Smoothbore Gun
      UBS-37 212mm APCBC (Armor-Piercing-Capped-Ballistic-Capped Shell)
      UBJ-37 212mm HESH (High-Explosive-Squash-Head Round)
      Hull Armor:
      1230MoS 45° Sloped Full Body Cast Homogeneous Titanium-Alloy Armor
      60MoS Full Body Spaced Steel Armor
      Turretless
      VK-10 Engine (1200hp)
      Shemetova Hydraulic Stabilized Suspension
      Note: The gun is a hybrid between magnetically accelerated and traditionally fired. Still, the sound produced by the gun is notorious for shattering windows

    > UA-776

      Anti-Aircraft Armament
      STAB - IRCM - NVD(IR) - RAD(LD)
      4x FTAS 35mm Autocannon
      FT-12 35mm APDS
      FT-33 35mm APHE
      FT-33M 35mm HESDF (High-Explosive Self-Destroying Fragmentation Round)
      8K443 REX AAATSBSGM
      Hull Armor:
      45MoS 75° Sloped Frontal Rolled Homogeneous Steel Armor with ERA integrated
      30MoS Rolled Homogeneous Steel Armor
      Turret Armor:
      60MoS Full-Round Cast Tungsten Ball Turret
      VK-27U Engine (975hp)
      Shemetova Pneumatic Stabilized Suspension
      Note: With high engine power and low weight, the UA-776 can reach a top speed of over 150km/h. The 35mm cannons allow for a versatile selection of ammunition for air and ground targets. This is the same for the 8K443 REX missile system, and a stabilizer allows for the missiles and cannons to be accurately fired on the move.
      Variants:
      A: The UA-776A is the "stock" described above
      B: The UA-776B is equipped with a thermal imaging modernization package and an improved search and tracking RADAR. This new RADAR system, the Groza-Bilchekovsky GzB-4r7H BANTRAS (Band-Narrowing Tracking System) acquires target lock from a normal method, then locks the IR signature of the target to its onboard memory with a margin of ±2.3μm, causing it to be nearly impervious to pyrotechnic countermeasures and chaff. The search radar is a miniaturized Dual-Polarity Pulse-Doppler system that oscillates such that perpendicular travel is just barely recognizable as a small signature.
      B-Surt: The UA-776B-Surt has everything the UA-776B has, but replaces the 8K443 REX missile system with an exclusively used SAM, the Groza-Bilchekovsky GzB-6SRT "Surt" All-Aspect Surface to Air Missile

Navy

    > Flagship: B.S.U.S. Polonochik

      Note: Known to fight at near sonic speeds due to high maneuverability

    > DG-7P Bomber:

      NVD - PCM - CCIP - CCRP
      4x ChKL 45mm Cannons
      8x GD-R5S 200kg Smart Bomb Load
      4x BL-32K Hypersonic Turbojet Stealth Engines - Top Recorded Speed: Mach 2.3 (2588.25 f/s or 788.9 m/s)
      Note: Known to fly at high speeds on approach to target with little sound before dropping payload with a neutralization rate of 97%

    > SOV-1 "Odyessy 1" Multirole Fighter:

      NVD - SRT(PD, IRST, LD) - CCIP - PCM - IRCM
      4x ShM K-4 30mm Cannons
      2x ShM 45 15mm Machine Guns
      4x ChKL J-2 All-Aspect Infrared Guided Air-to-Air/Air-to-Space Missiles (25G overload, top speed Mach 5.2 @ 35,000m)
      2x BLX-2 Ramjet-LFO Toggleable Engines - Top Recorded Speed: Mach 4.6 (5176.51 f/s or 1577.8 m/s)
      Note: With a cruising speed of around Mach 1, and the capability to reach a low orbit, the SOV-1 can take out enemy satellites in low or high orbits. The SOV-1 also makes use of variable geometry wings, with a lower angle of attack for higher speeds well within Mach speeds, and a higher angle of attack for more maneuverability.

    > BR-U6 Superheavy "Flamingo" Frontline Jet Bomber:

      NVD - SRT(SRC) - CCIP - CCRP - PCM
      8x ChKL 45mm Cannons
      5x ShM 45 15mm Machine Guns
      12x GD-R12 "Catfish" 4 ton Smart Bombs - Explosive Type - RDX-Catalyzed PETN
      4x BLX-5 Hyperjet-MethylOx Toggleable Engines - Top Recorded Air Speed: Mach 7.6 (8552.49 f/s or 2606.8 m/s)
      Top Recorded Orbital Speed: Mach 13.5 (15191.93 f/s or 4630.5 m/s)

      Note: The Flamingo is less than frightening in flight unless you know it's carrying its twelve 4 ton smart bombs and you are currently at war with the USSBSU, its protectorates, or allied nations. Capable of wiping small towns off of the map in one run (about 4 bombs dropped), the thunderous roar of the BLX-5 engines strike fear in the hearts of enemies and patriotism in the hearts of allies. Orbital Speed was a required statistic, as the BR-U6 has been in Low Earth Orbit before for a bomb accuracy and magnitude test, which overperformed in both. The 4-ton bomb is far less than nuclear, but can cause major destruction and flip up to 100-ton enemy armored vehicles completely upside down, provided they haven't ripped apart or been melted by heat.

    > S-92 "Arken" Multirole Attack Helicopter

      NVD(IR-XRSW) - IRCM - SRT(IRST, PD) - PCM - CCIP
      1x ChKL-T 45mm Mechanized Autocannon Turret
      2x BLR-92 Jet Turbine Engines - Top Recorded Air Speed: 627 km/h*
      Weapon Selections:
        2x ShM 45-II 15mm Gatling Gun Pods
        12x 8K443 REX ATGMs
        8x ZRT582 "Argonavt" ATGM-TC
        128x AKT-32 "Meercat" Unguided Rockets

      Note: The S-92 Arken was commissioned by BSUAF after several other nations started employing the use of helicopters. Its main goal was to be expandable for future technologies and versatile enough to apply to several situations, and succeeded, as several hundred variants are available. It has two counter-rotational blades, making it incredibly maneuverable and responsive to controls. With as versatile as it is, the Arken is very likely to stay in use for several decades.

    *Crashed shortly after
