Zardugal, Beiteynu
YIG sets its sights on the potentials of the (defunct) Zardic defence industry
January 5367

Belegejo, Zardugal - Executives from Yishel Investment Group, the Beiteynuese conglomerate that has accompanied the Equifund as one of its premier investors alongside Kundrati institutions such as Tomasadyn Nation since almost the conception of the consortium back in 5227, met with officials from the Zardic Government in Belegejo to discuss the potentials of the "hidden" opportunities lying in wait in regards to the high quality military equipment of Zardic origin. Half a decade ago, the KPZ-V Coalition decided to put an end to the long history of the Zardic defence industry in a large-scale disarmament, even going as far as gifting some its own military equipment to Vascania a year later, as a gesture of "good faith" in enacting long-due reparations with the former colony. The establishment of what was dubbed by Zardic media as "Gunboat Diplomacy" last year further solidified Zardugal's intents at leveraging its militarised history to turn a new leaf.

YIG has "eyed" the recent Kalistani entry to the consortium and its policy of "military equipment democratisation" as one of the biggest opportunities in the Equifund's history; an opportunity in unlocking a massive momentum in research and development partnerships, co-production deals and the increase of sales in military equipment; all 3 offering excellent opportunities for numerous entities in the consortium, including YIG itself, to increase their capital twofold, or even threefold over the next few decades and finally establish the Equifund as the global leader in military equipment.

However, the YIG has recognised that the expertise from Zardic manufacturers - now defunct and looking for jobs - in developing naval and aerospace equipment of Zardic design is one that cannot be easily replaced save but quite a few in the consortium (referencing Canrille Defense Enterprise, Biraero and AUDISS). What the financial institution seeks to achieve, as such, is to connect Zardic developers to the consortium's manufacturers by helping broker deals on co-production with various entities. Starting by bringing Zardic designers and developers aboard and offering a place amongst the Equifund's other products.

The problem? Money; with Zardic factories closed and the knowhow swept under reforms, Zardic equipment is now at the risk of perishing.

Beir Leshet and KDC seek to produce the Dabur-class patrol boat
July 5367



Himmelshtern, Beiteynu - Beir Leshet is a Beiteynuese manufacturer that has essentially dominated the domestic market on "light" naval equipment. Together with Kundrati Defense Contrators, they have undertaken the co-production of numerous vessels spanning more than 100 years of expertise. As a result of the close partnership, Kundrati has also become a world leader in shipbuilding, having assembled most of Beiteynu's military and trade fleets.

Although the recent fiascos and turmoils in Beiteynuese - Cildanian relations seem thus far to be leading to the cessation of most channels, save but base diplomacy, the Equifund has long picked up on the Cildanian Government's interest in increasing both its domestic production as well as its naval capability as a military force. With Beiteynu's legislature and policy essentially not particularly bound to strict defence interests, and since Cildania and Jelbe have been widely considered as "battlegrounds" in the rising Beiteynuese - Vanukean "competition", both conglomerates are looking to introduce the Dabur-class patrol boat into their pipelines, hopefully, with both states. The boat is equipped with high-tech reconnaissance and surveillance hardware.

Not surprisingly, Dankukian Northstar Heavy Industry will also receive licenses for co-production.

Albeit Beir Leshet leading the development of the vessel, KDC and investors from Kundrati will pour in their technical and financial expertise into expanding the shipbuilding capabilities effectively taking over production operations, including offering a "slight boost" to the logistics of shipbuilding facilities in Dankuk. With the introduction of the Dabur-class patrol boat, Gongmangdo is officially marking its entry to the manufacture of navy equipment.

Equifund executives will meet with officials in Qart Qildar and Baofluz soon, to determine whether there is Cildanian and/or Jelbic interest in the project.

The new "face" of the Equifund sees Beiteynuese leadership diminish
April 5368



Himmelshtern, Beiteynu - What started more than a decade ago on the consortium's "fast track" of detaching itself from Beiteynuese leadership - and any leadership for that matter - seems has been expedited by the "entry" of the Kalistani defence industry and the unprecedented growth in Kundrati's very own rapidly evolving sector. While Beiteynuese companies like Tikkun Haganah and Beimar Industries remain at the forefront of army equipment such as battle tanks and artillery, the scene is so different from 5227 that the Equifund is now hardly recognisable solely as "Beiteynu's arm". This "transition" has all been assisted by promotional vehicles such as Kundrati's recently announced VIDST and the Lourennais expos in Valois, which now sit alongside Beiteynu's Olami Kleneshek Expo in representing the consortium's global presence in the showcase of both equipment and partnerships.

Executives from the investment scene remain hopeful that this "upwards momentum" will continue to include more and more states in the network.

The Equifund's digital portal continues to include more and more products, each year.

Hanzen, Beiteynu, Kundrati, Dankuk
Keshet Systems wins defence contract for the supply of small arms
May 5374

Haifbourg, Beiteynu - Keshet Systems became the leading name in weapons manufacturing of small arms in 5297, when Tikkun Haganah brokered a pioneering joint research and development program between Beiteynu, Istalia and Kundrati. The company, leveraging the financial momentum from that particular deal, reinvigorated the production of Beiteynuese small arms to the point where it started outbidding every other contractor for the Beiteynuese Magafaim (Armed Forces). The company's success since then has allowed it to pivot as a broker of its own international agreements and supply deals.

Recognising Hanzen's call for armament earlier this year, Keshet Systems banded a consortium of executives from Kundrati Defense Contractors and Northstar Heavy Industry [Dankuk] to bid for newly issued defence contracts; having won the deals, the project will thus be directly financed by Lirnakican Technological Investment Bank [Kundrati] with a plan to establish an assembly facility in Dankuk with NHI. Kundrati's investment banking has taken bold steps in attaining leadership in the global arms industry since 5368, when the country's defence sector organised and launched the flagship VIDST Expo.

Officials from the government of Hanzen have been meeting with KS, KDC and NHI officials in discussing the details of the newly attained defence contracts to pinpoint the exact quantity of the selected equipment to be assembled. Although Keshet Systems will focus on presenting its various lines of small arms, including but not limited to the 941 officer pistol, the Asaf submachine gun, the Tavor assault rifle and its accompanying M203 grenade launcher, the Baum heavy assault rifle, the Negev light machine gun, the notorious M89SR sniper rifle used by the commando units of the Beiteynuese Naval Command and the B-300 anti-tank weapons system (originally designated for the southern divisions of the Beiteynuese Magafaim but never came into mass circulation), the company did suggest that Hanzen took a look at the equipment that's currently being researched and developed by KDC [Kundrati], in equal measure.

In being unable to sustain the supply without local production, Keshet Systems will join forces with Northstar Heavy Industry towards the co-production of small arms in the region, considering how Beiteynuese - Dankukian relations have been going exceptionally strong for more than a century. The new operating facilities from NHI in Dankuk will be bankrolled by Kundrati investors and KDC, which will also receive appropriate licenses from the Beiteynuese manufacturer.
