Well, except for Lucylastic, we know she could not be trusted with any of these items....
For sale by European broker:
6 Cold War Era, former soviet navy Whiskey II diesel electric submarines.
De militarized of course but all that means is that the targeting sonar (and computers) has been removed and the air feed to the torpedo tubes has been disconnected.
Easy fix with current commercial grade research sonar and a good ex navy computer tech can build you the computer systems for less than 10k.
Now, it is true that the diesel electric boats are not capable of staying under water for extended periods, however, it is also true that the only time a diesel electric boat is really detectable is when she is snorkling her diesels to charge batteries.
However, recent renewed interest in the Walter Turbine power plant (burns hydrogen peroxide with exhaust products of water and O2) can make that chore unneeded.
Also for sale:
1 Former royal navy aircraft carrier.
12 surplus destroyers
10 former minesweepers
5 fast attack craft (modern version of the pt boats)
2 post world war two era heavy cruisers
In Norway
A former NATO submarine base, built into the side of a fjord (as in the damn thing is UNDER a mountain.)
In the US
Out side of Denver
An eight silo Titan II missile installation upgraded to handle the Reagan era minute man missiles but never used.
Designed to take a direct hit from a 5 megaton thermonuclear device.
Now this would be a good place for a lab to construct your diabolical bio or chemical compounds, the large storage area could be used for photon based weapons testing and design (ie lasers.)
Houston Texas
145 Soviet era T62 and T72 main battle tanks, former Iraqi army. Weapons demilled by the removal and destruction of breach blocks.
These bits of hardware can be made in any decently equipped machine shop, so if you want to equip a tank brigade, here are your tanks.
Also in Houston
22 Mig 25 fighters, crated. very low flying hours on engines
Avionics also uninstalled, so it is very probable that the aiming systems are there.
In Yuma Arizona
Misc. US military aircraft including but not limited to
F4's, F105's, early A1 Intruders, early B52's (ideally supposed to be sold as scrap but it is legal to get these birds in flying condition) along with tankers, cargo planes and other fighters from the 60's through the late 80's.
Now all of these aircraft were retired due to long hours on the air frames (read stress fractures of wing spars) however as demonstrated by collectors of jets, it is possible to pull these aircraft down to frame only and replace the over stressed components.
Wing spars for a B52 can be after market manufactured for a reasonable $250k per spar (each aircraft has two, stretching from mid wing through the fusaluge to the same point in the opposite wing)
Now, all military turbo prop and jet engines use JP4 for fuel, which is to say, very highly refined kerosene. Civilian JP2 and JP3 can be used at a lower fuel efficiency.
