Defence industry in Eiffelland


The weapons industry in Eiffelland has quite an interesting history. About 90 years ago, several Eiffellandian companies decided to bundle their efforts in producing military planes and military vehicles upon initiative of the government, which decided to take a share in the Eiffellandian defence industries as well. Meanwhile, the Eiffellandian defence industry developed into a conglomerate of companies producing everything from tanks and APCs via various kinds of artillery to planes and missiles.

Currently, the weapons industry in Eiffelland consists of the following companies:

  • Military planes (Raimer und Rathenau Flugzeugwerke (RRF)): This is a joint venture between the Eiffellandian car manufacturer Raimer and Rathenau Militärausrüstung; also the Eiffellandian government and the Royal Family are involved.
  • Artillery, tanks and armoured vehicles (Magirus-Deutz; the Eiffellandian government and the Eiffellandian Royal Family are involved).
  • All-terrain vehicles: Raimer.
  • Missiles and rocketry: Factories owned by the Eiffellandian government and Rathenau Militärausrüstung.
  • Radio and radar equipment: Rathenau Militärausrüstung.
  • Optical equipment (e.g. binoculars, telescopes, periscopes, cameras): Karl Seiff GmbH and Agfas.
  • Hand weaponry: Beck & Böhm GmbH.


Any foreign purchase from the Eiffellandian defence industries has to be approved by the government of Eiffelland.


Raimer und Rathenau Flugzeugwerke (RRF)

This company produces fighter planes, tanker planes, reconnaissance and transporter planes, and helicopters.

The will become RRF’s newest fighter plane, capable of starting from the smaller type of aircraft carriers currently in Eiffellandian service.

The Luftgeist and Wassergeist were originally planes that were developed in the 1950s. They were succeeded by one plane in the 1970s. This plane was called in the air force version and in the navy version. Both planes are still for sale. The Wassergeist 2 can start from and land on Eiffelland’s larger aircraft carrier.

The is a multirole plane that was developed in the 1970s, like the Luftgeist 2 and Wassergeist 2. It is available as a fighter-bomber, a version to attack enemy air defence systems (also electronic combat), a reconnaissance version and an interceptor.

Furthermore, because the engine is in the front, the tank has an extra protection against frontal attacks, extra storage space and a rear entrance (making it possible to enter the tank while being under fire). The Gepard is also sold as a MEDEVAC vehicle. The newest version of this tank is the Gepard 4, which is currently only available for the armed forces of Eiffelland and its allies. The Gepard 3 is a good alternative though.

The design of the Gepard was also used as a basis for the howitzer.

As a Close neighbour and historic companion nation, we would like to continue to invest in our National Defence Forces, and renew ongoing contracts with Eiffeland's defence industries to outfit our land and air forces with the best equipment money can buy.

In particular, we would like if possible to license production of the SG2 from Beck & Böhm for use by our land forces as well.

We thank the Government of Bergenheim for its interest in our weapon systems. However, we are sad to have to communicate that the SG2 is only delivered the armed forces of Eiffelland and its allies. Please accept our apologies.

We thank Beck and Bohm for the offer but we already have weaponry of the SG-1s caliber, and are looking to upgrade to something more modern.

We humbly request the presence of a new Fallwind plane for the Spring 2018 Air Force Trials in Bergenheim, even if only for demonstration purposes. We believe it would be an opportunity for Eiffelland to demonstrate the capabilities of this new fighter in a competitive international environment.

We are certainly willing to demonstrate the Fallwind plane on the Spring 2018 Air Force Trials in Bergenheim. We will come to the show with both the Wirbelsturm and the Luftgeist 2 and the Fallwind.
Would it be an option to extend the Air Force Trials with demonstations for helicopters?

Regrettably, We are not currently looking to purchase new helicopters, and we will be unable to support a demonstration of helicopters at the trials. We are however very grateful for the demonstration of not just the Fallwind but the Wirbelsturm and Luftgeist 2. We thank Raimer und Rathenau Flugzeugwerker for their co-operation.

Combined statement of RRF Flugzeugwerke, Magirus-Deutz, Rathenau Militärausrüstung, Karl Seiff, Agfas and Beck & Böhm

After a hacking attack this weekend, all our systems are back up. We are investigating the damage, but first estimations indicate that we are talking about on average 5% revenue loss due to this attack.

Department of Air Safety

Official Statement

The CAA has reviewed the aircraft recently launched by the RRF Flugzeugwerke. The said aircraft has failed to incorporate the standards of safety which all planes in Serenierre must comply with. Given Serenien commitment to safety in the air, we are at present not willing to grant the said plane permission to be flown in Serenien aerial territory. Furthermore, we advise all Serenien airlines against purchasing the said plane due to its overambitious specifications.

The CAA further believes that the company in question has not satisfied us that it tested the aircraft as robustly as needed, on account of the setbacks faced by Eiffellander industries during the Seven Day War, wherein all industries were put on war footing to make military equipment. We believe that the change from civilian to military and then back to civilian production lines would have severely compromised the integrity of the said aircraft as well as shown a confusion in protocols, which renders this aircraft to be highly suspect in terms of meeting international standards of safety.

Eiffellander Manufacturing has always been regarded as the standard to meet. The Commission has a long history of certificating such products on historic grounds as well as confidence in the country's capabilities. However, in observance of the recent recession, the Seven Days War, and recent concerns issued by the Serenien Civil Aviation Authority, the RAC is temporarily suspending clearance for the RRF Flugzeugwerke Ibis and will not permit it to fly into Aurarian Airspace. Additionally, all sales of the Ibis are temproarily suspended and any Ibis currently in Aurarian Airspace must land at its destination and will not be permitted to take off.

The RAC must conduct further investigations to ensure that RRF Flugzeugwerke, in light of a mobilization on behalf of the Eiffellander Government, did not compromise any safety standards in order to continue the plane's production on schedule. Upon completion of this investigation, the RAC Will release its own findings and issue a new ruling on the status of the Ibis in Auraria.

National Agency for Civil Aviation following the suspension of the operation of the "Ibis" vehicle in the countries of Republic of Serenierre and the Republic of Auraria has launched an investigation into the operational history of the vehicle at the international level coming to the conclusion that there are not sufficient reasons for the suspension of the activities of the aircraft in question.

There are no significant "reported" incidents in the operational life of the current aircraft and the measures taken by both countries are disproportionate if not political.
Furthermore, the invitation by the SRN government to avoid the purchase and the total suspension of the sale and use of the aircraft in the Republic of Auraria are currently lacking any logic other than as an undeclared measure of economic sanction for reasons not clear. If on the one hand the unclear division of government powers allows similar actions, we fail to understand how the Auraria authorities acted in the same way.

The current conclusions are reached based on the international information available on the aircraft's operational life. If the governments of Auraria and Serenierre deliberately remained silent about serious incidents during the use of the aircraft, this would be an unacceptable behavior for civil aviation.
