A railgun? Doesn't really fit if you ask me. Would it be possible to make it something that would fit, but more along to lines of the 50's-60's?
Laos finishes much of their space programs goals. The LSP, or Laos Space Program, has launched several satelllites, including those with the ability to predict the weather, interface with global communitcations, and survey landscape. Laos has announced the launch of a man into orbit around the Earth. Laos invites any nations with diplomatic ties to Laos to come to the ISS Summit, to discuss plans to build a neutral, international space station. Laos finishes its secret war projects. Laos begins to upgrade aircraft to incoperate their new satellites, and other new technology, as well as tanks. Laos gives blueprints to their basic satellites to their main allies, the United States and Canada. Laos reaches a milestone mark in becoming a developed nation, by reaching its GDP into the trillions. Large population increases has lead to higher numbers of recruits, putting Laos' defense forces at around thiry-thousand. With the large immigrantion boom coming to an end, Laos tightens outlandish buisness laws, to support the economy. Laos wishes for several tariffs and taxes involving Laos/Progressian transctions be lowered. I am assuming the year is in the 1960s now. If you disagree with the power of my space technology, I will remove it, though I do not see why one would. Also, I realized I only have two allies, lol.
Canada's new SPG is done. It has a 87MM main gun and two Bren machine guns, but only has 25MM armour all around, as its not a front line vehicle. It is called the M5 Hunter.
Germany fears that your communication scrambling technology will be used to cripple Progressia's communication letting you and your allies destroy us.
South Korea remakes a better version of the Japanese knee mortar, so that it could launch further and be faster at reload speeds.
New plane is done. Its a drop plane, meaning its meant to drop things into battle. It can also be used as a cargo plane. It is powered by four propellers, two on each wing. It is called the High altitude drop ship. The landing pads are also done. They strap onto the bottom of the tanks, so they can be dropped into battle without them being damaged. They also have a large parachute on them. The pads and parachute are easily cut, so they can get straight into battle.
South Korea wishes to have two of them to study, and possibly add newer features to them. EDIT: Two of the HADS.
Canada begins tests with the HADs and the landing pads on the tanks. The Laurent110 and the M5 Hunter both land perfectly, but the Ram2 is to heavy, and still takes damage when dropped. The pads are made softer and stronger so the Ram2 can be dropped.
South Korea begins work on secret projects. South Korea also outfits the HADs with places for gunners.
That means it can do stuff like radio. One could potentially tap into radio feeds, but since the amount of non-Laos satellites is fairly low, since we don't have the tech to acquire a signal more then about seven miles away. Now that Germany has mentioned it, Laos begins research into communication scrambling. Laos is disappointed nobody cares about them. To boost their self-esteem, Laos gives Progressia the blue prints to a basic radio satellite, and gives them a little info on plans for a space station.
