Deltarian Armed Forces

Army
The Deltarian Army is well-funded, but relies on numbers over modern military equipment.

Infantry
"The man with the rifle runs. The man with the ammunition follows. When the man with the rifle falls, the man with the ammunition takes the rifle and shoots." - Basic Infantry Training Manual

The Deltarian Army boasts a massive standing infantry that can be reinforced by the draft in times of war. Levels of training and disciplene are low, although morale and loyalty is high. The Deltarian Infantry has not been standardised, and weapons that range from the modern Valaska assault rifle and Ivanka missile launcher can be seen in use alongside Republican rifles and revolvers.

The better equipped and semi-trained Stormtroopers make up an increasing percentage of the Deltarian Infantry. Although training is still minimal, candidates are selected at a very young age for showing excemplary loyalty to the Czár. They are used mainly in occupation of foreign land and quelling internal conflicts. The pride and joy of the stormtrooper legions are the elite Smrtonosiči, (the bringers of Death). The other divisions are named the Chladnokrvní (the coldblooded), the KŕmičiVrán (the feeders of the crows), the ZnásilňovačiDuší (the rapists of the soul), and the JedáciSŕdc (the eaters of hearts). Despite disciplinary problems, the Stormtroopers are thought of as loyal, efficient and ruthless.

Armoured Divisions
"It takes five of your tanks to destroy one of ours, but you bastards always bring six." - Michael Robson, Lodamese partisan commander.

The massive tank divisions of Deltaria are of poor to average quality, largely made up of the Hussar heavy tanks and Cossack light tanks. They lack modernised guiding equipment and long-range sabot armanents, and are expected to encourage losses of 5 to 1 when engaging with any modern tank group, but commanders make up for this with brute force tactics and overwhelming numbers of reserve battallions.

Navy
The Deltarian Navy is somewhat modern, but underfunded and small in comparison to other branches. The surface fleet is small, but growing, now consisting of two battleships, ten destroyers and several dozen small gunboats. A project to design and build the first Deltarian Aircraft Carrier was abandoned in the late 2200's. The Deltarians also have 36 very modern and sophisticated attack submarines.

Air Force
The Deltarian Air Force is well funded, but unstandardised and extremely varied in efficiency. The Deltarians have a large number of modern missile bombers and escort planes, some built locally with equipment and technology purchased from allied nations, others purchased built from foreign nations. The Deltarian Air Force is extremely overrepresented by helicopters when compared to other nations, both gunships and sub-hunters, of which the former are often utilised in cases of domestic strife.
