june 29th finland builds it first wery own "golden eagle" able of travelling at maximum speed of 300 km/h when floating becouse of its high tech <insert type here > motor (but for short times only)
and virtually vanish from all radars and and eyes and heatcameras etc. for times as long as 10 minutes.
able to use its three strong and wery sharp edged tentacles to push through sheetmetal and other such. also allowing it to walk on the surface.
armed with threee inferno guns able to produce such heat that it turns humans to slag in matter of milliseconds and is able to put anything flammable into fires in just seconds.
armed also with mk4 "gatling" lasers by energia and 2 two regular high velocity gatling guns. and a precison laser (much like a sniper rifle). gives the machine even more destructive power.
and armed with an electric overload shield and a <argentine?> forcefield gives it alot of armour.
althou this could easily outmatch many of the russian 7th generation warwalkers it has its flaws. mostly wich is cost and with all the weaponry and forcefields make the motor unstable.
so finns start building a lighter version of the machine armed only with 1 inferno gun 1 gatling laser 1 precison laser and 2 light machine guns.
and only a electric overload shield. they belive they will get it into producing by end of the fall.
August 10, 2030: At a test range in the Urals testing is started on the 8th generation of warwalkers. The 8th generation features the best in Russian tech and some reversed engineered technologies from other blocs
* Flight mode, capable of flying/gliding 300 km range.
* 360 degree Defensive barriers.
* Using an intercepted SPECTER 4 module and LUCIFER Module Level 3 (A couple generations behind Ghost)
* Nano-weave composite armor.
* a small scale nuclear fission reactor, will power the remote controlled ones.
* A new weapon, the nanite deconstructor sprayer. A short to medium range weapon that sprays opponents or buildings with Russian deconstructor nanites, eventually crippling the craft.
<8ths, right now they are prototypes, not expected to see service until 2040. however in a possible Russo-finnish War these could be rapidly produced to mitigate the advantage of golden eagles>
Shkrebneva orders the scientists to make the 8th generation cheaper, streamline it so that when they start production it doesn't break the bank
August 12, 2030: Shkrebneva orders the Okhrana to begin heavy infiltration in preparation for invasion in the following cities: Tartu, Kouvola, and Rovaniemi.
August 14, 2030: Shkrebneva also visits Professor Minovsky, to check up on his Mobile Command Center. A huge pyramid like structure that has an area wide shield generator, and nuclear reactor power source, along with the ability to repair and house 500 warwalkers, or 1000 Gyrodynes. Shkrebneva orders 5 by 2035, two of which will be floating fortresses.
<Russia has a much much larger defense budget then Finland, and once they hear about the Eagle's expect more 8s to be produced>
Oh and June 5, 2034: Vaino III has a meeting with EDC Chairman Melissa Theuriau discusses the EDC and Russia, "There is no easy way to say this Vaino. Russia has approached us with a deal. They will allow Poland and Slovakia to enter the EDC, but in exchange they want one of your scientific projects. Specifically the one that allows someone to download their brain into an android."
