Established Nation
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:
Raimer und Rathenau Flugzeugwerke (RRF)
This company produces fighter planes, tanker planes, reconnaissance and transporter planes, and helicopters.
The
The Fallwind has 14 hardpoints (13 in the naval version), and can carry up to 9500 kg of external fuel tanks, bombs or missiles. It has a top speed of 2223 km/h / 1381 mph / 1200 kn / Mach 1.8 at high altitude, 1390 km/h / 860 mph / 750 kn / Mach 1.1 at low altitude. Its combat range is up to 1850 km / 1150 mi / 1000 nmi, its ferry range is up to 3700 km / 2300 mi / 2000 nmi, its service ceiling is 15,835 m / 51,952 ft, its g limits are +9 −3.6 (+11 in emergencies), and its rate of climb is 304.8 m/s / 60,000 ft/min

OOC: One remark with the ships: Of course all the radar systems in use on them are systems from Rathenau Militärausrüstung. Should the Wikipedia page indicate that a ship contains something else than what I RP as a Rathenau techniques, please presume that the IC ship only contains the Rathenau Militärausrüstung technologies.
Currently, the weapons industry in Eiffelland consists of the following companies:
