Type-070 "Trisun"
You must be registered for see links
The Trisun, named after the weapon of the Goddess Durga, is an aging model first introduced to the SDF in the seventies as a hand-me-down upgrade of a tank developed in the 1940's by Cassiopeia. The Kali has proven it's worth, however, in several engagements with Communist T-62 tanks, and is more than effective enough to cause damage. However, the tank is aging; and the SDF plans to develop a new tank.

Type-89 "Varunastra"
You must be registered for see links
The Type-89 Varunastra is a relatively unremarkable design, similar to many other assault rifles of it's type. It is known as the "Buddy" by it's users, it is almost universally fitted with imported reflex sights to allow quick target acquisition. It serves as the principle combat rifle of the SDF despite the Cobra's improved attributes due to the Cobra's increased cost.

Type-04 "Cobra"
You must be registered for see links
The Cobra was developed as a weapon for particularly close quarters combat, as well as mechanized infantry units which were deployed from the compact compartments of IFV's. The bullpup design has taken time for the SDF soldiers to become accustomed to, while the built-in MARS sight of the gun has increased cost. However, the SDF views these costs as necessary, as the SDF doctrine places high value on soldier life. Also commonly used variants include the marksman variety, and a compact version used for commando's.

Length: 720 mm (28.3 in)
Barrel length: 460 mm (18.1 in)
Cartridge: 5.56x45mm
