I have not discerned any of that information. What is your source(s)? Who is thought to be making significant upgrades?

A new arms race you say? Sounds like it's time to give the credit card some exercise!

The ROD has their best spies....wait....diplomatic research ** CENSORED ** looking into the military spending habits of other imagi-nations. The ROD Navy is praying that a "nashorn special" stealth carrier doesn't show up off the coast!

New Canada is largely just modernizing it’s fleet with new ships currently trying to get the Invincible class Carrier HMCS Maple Leaf finished. And plans are underway to acquire 3 cruisers of the Albany class and more Belknap Class

T.O.N.Y. Arms has reported certain nations have expressed interest in tank upgrades. It had been reported that a numbers of upgrade kits have been delivered already.

From specific information that has been evaluated, the GatorState has made significant increase in military arms. When ‘sweet n sultry’ Shelia, WSXY, Action News, inquired the reply was, “to have peace, you need to prepare for war”. Shelia then asked about the preparations for war that the GS has made. A spokesman off the record, responded, “GS defense group has acquired, tanks, APCs, and attack helicopters. All on older frames upgraded with outstanding features so that they are the most capable systems on the planet.”

The Gator State is landlocked and possesses neither sea nor air transport. Just how is it, therefore, any threat at all to anyone? Its equipment enhancements are intended solely to improve its ability to defend itself against the likes of the aggrandizing CofC, which gobbles up territory like a boar at a truffle buffet. What's more, GS forces are miniscule by comparison with other nations, PARTICULARLY CofC, so it must rely on constant, effective training and ingenuity in constructing its defenses, not mere numbers. GS has very little in tier one equipment, so it must find ways to get the most out of what it has, which means having a robust arms industry that contiuously develops improvements to existing equipment. GS must ensure that when CofC and its cronies come calling, any bite taken out of GS will be too spicy to retain and induce a fierce degree of strategic dysentery such as to discourage further expedition. Should you come to GS, your shattered, glowing remains will be piled in warheads and returned to your country via ICBM.

The Commonwealth of Chrisdom is not attacking GS, never even thought of what you are spewing out. We did have an Envoy fly to the GS by a commercial US airline. He was handled in a very rude … extremely rude, grotesque manner. Barbaric is an understatement.
Another phrase used in the GS National government is “PREPARE FOR WAR, TO WIN A WAR AND TERRITORY.”
The CoC has arrested three people in Monaco City, Monacodom, with listening devices and recordings of corporate C-level conversations having posed as an Tech Communication ** CENSORED **. Then two in Casablanca that had trade secrets on a weapon system. All three have their Passport from the GS along with other IDs.
We are surprised to have this violation by GS agents. The CoC would like to be on a foundation of trust.

As rumors, reports of an arms race or build up.
I.e. the GS, KARMANASKIS, ROD, NC, the EE, etc.
The CoC contracted for 28 AH-64 and 7 UH-60. Many need refurbishment and upgrades. C-141 and C-130 aircraft are part of the military contract along with parts. These will be the initial batch of AH-64 for the Commonwealth as AH-1 are the most common attack helicopter in the inventory.
The was discussion of the acquisition of Hokum attack helicopters and/or Mi-24 Hinds.
Another RoRo amphibious ship is being acquired, hope to have it early in the next year available.
A Warlord has acquired some used T-55 and BMPs, rumors are it is a thug in Yer Bouti, But that has been denied. SADF has been alerted.

What BS. NOT unusual. CofC fixing up its citizens with fake GS passports, arresting them, and hustling them off to a firing squad. One ruse they use to rid themselves of dissidents and political opponents.

Interesting comments. The GS is abandoning their government employees and contractors.

GS HAS no government employees or contractors working outside its borders, although we sometimes pay YOUR government employees and contractors for information. They work cheap, too, an indication of CofC's standing with them.

The glorious Kingdom of Ba’hai denies any participation in aforementioned ‘race of arms’.

Current hardware upgrade platforms are however underway to ensure that our equipment is fit-for-purpose in a modern, data-focused digital battlefield. In addition to existing upgrade programs, tenders are open to address possible deficiencies in our military capabilities, with current priorities involving updating our air-wing, and investigating long-range missile based platforms. The Kingdom reinforces that while we are seeking to address perceived shortfalls in existing capabilities, our forces remain capable of engaging and responding to threats to our national interests, both at home and abroad.

The Republic of Dalmatia is currently not looking to increase the size of its military, but rather the ROD is adding capability and acquiring or upgrading some key systems to increase lethality. The main focus for 2022 is expeditionary warfare and amphibious operations. The CAWC will be very active next year, to include a large-scale amphibious operation to test new technologies and validate operational concepts.
