The Equipment of the Charnean Army is a mix of weapon systems, vehicles and pieces of military kit of Mutulese, Elatian, Onekawan and indigenous Charnean providence.

Small Arms

Name Image Origin Type Notes
Ekelhoc 941 Jericho 941F.jpg  Charnea Semi-automatic pistol Service pistol of the Charnean Army, chambered in .45 automatic.
KZ Ouzih 1952 General von Horn IMI Uzi 001 (cropped).jpg  Onekawa-Nukanoa
 Charnea
Submachine gun Kaokazuka copy of the Onekawan SMG.7, itself a licensed copy of the Yisraeli Uzi. Produced in large numbers in both wooden stock and folding metal stock variants between 1965 and 1985, spare parts are still produced at the Kaokazuka plant, although production has officially been halted with the submachine gun combat role due to be fully replaced by modern assault rifles. KZ Ouzih is still in service with vehicle crews, border guard units and reservists. Unlike the Onekawan and Yisraeli variants, the KZ Ouzih is chambered in .45 automatic.
AP-42 Elatian Sten 2.png  Elatia Submachine gun Purchased in large quantities from Elatia during the Ninvite War. Many were lost or destroyed in the conflict, while those that remained in Army stocks continued to be used by vehicle crews until being moved to storage in 2004. Many AP-42s in Charnean Army inventories have been re-issued to police units, exiting the military stockpiles.
K-48 Elatia K-48 SKS equivalent 6.png  Elatia Battle rifle Former standard issue service rifle of the Charnean Army between 1948 and 1963, retained in large numbers in storage and re-issued during the Ninvite War when additional units were purchased from Elatia. Modified K-48s remains in service as marksman rifles, and are commonly found in unmodified form with the border guards and reserve units. Chambered in 7.62×39mm.
AK-54 Elatia AK-83 version 5.png  Elatia Assault rifle AK-54F is the primary service rifle of the Charnean Army, produced under license by the Kaokazuka corporation. Large stockpiles of the AK-54B and C variants are held in storage and issued to reserve units. AK-54M is purchased from Elatia and issued in small numbers to elite units of the Army. Similarly, small batches of the AK-54S variant are used by Charnean special forces. All AK-54 pattern rifles use steel-cased 7.62×39mm rounds.
Albarodan-63 Rifle Type 63 noBG.png  Charnea Assault rifle Former service rifle of the Charnean Army from 1963-1981, now in primarily in storage. Design based on the Elatian K-48 semi-automatic rifle.
M76 Zastava M76 Full noBG.jpg  Charnea Marksman rifle Originally based on a variant of the AK-54 chambered in 7.92x57mm, eventually developed into a designated marksman rifle. Utilizes different caliber ammunition from the AK-54, K-48 and Albarodan-63 rifles in order to avoid being pressed into service with the low accuracy steel-cased 7.62x39mm ammunition most commonly used for those systems.
PR.9 MRAD black-barrel-profile.jpg  Onekawa-Nukanoa Sniper rifle Primary sniper rifle of the Charnean Army, using mainly by special forces units. Chambered in 8.58×70mm.
KZ Zabik File:RPK Machine Gun 7.62 x 39.jpg  Charnea Light machine gun

 Charnea
Attack helicopter Primary attack helicopter of the Charnean Army, armed with a 20mm canon and hardpoints capable of fitting unguided rocket pods as well as anti-tank and air-to-air missiles. Initially designed for the Royal Onekawa-Nukanoa Air Force, design was later rejected by the Onekawan government leading to an arrangement between the manufacturer Ahuriri Aerospace and the Charnean Army to set up production of the helicopter in Charnea.

Fixed Wing Aircraft

Name Image Origin Type Notes
Whaitiri Kāhu Panavia Tornado F3, UK - Air Force AN1253319.jpg  Onekawa-Nukanoa Multirole fighter
SEAD aircraft
Whaitiri Kāhu FSR.7 is the most modern fighter in the Army Air Service, used by the high readiness squadrons. The ER.4 variant is the ICA's only specialized SEAD aircraft. Both variants are purchased directly from the Onekawan Ahuriri Aerospace corporation.
K'akmul 20 F-20 flying.jpg  Mutul Multirole fighter Modernized K'akmul model, upgraded to launch modern cruise missiles and smart bombs. Capable of interceptor operations but primarily used as a strike craft by the ICA to avoid loosing aircraft in dogfights to more modern opposing fighters.
K'akmul 5 F-5E Brazil (16746676315).jpg  Mutul Multirole fighter Purchased in large numbers during the Ninvite War. Now largely phased out of active service, held in storage and equipped by reserve units of the Air Service.
Nākahi II TF.1 Yakovlev Yak- 130 (modify).jpg  Onekawa-Nukanoa Jet trainer Primary trainer aircraft for the formation of jet fighter pilots, also doubling as a reconnaissance and strike craft.
Pī TB.3 Afghan Air Force aircraft YA-1513 in 2018 (cropped).jpg  Onekawa-Nukanoa Turboprop trainer
LAAR aircraft
Multifunctional turboprop aircraft used as a trainer aircraft for the formation of novice Air Service pilots and as a combat and air patrol aircraft by squadrons assigned to border patrol and counter-insurgent actions. Equipped in large numbers due to its versatility, favored by many the Air Service due to its lower cost of operations and better loiter time compared to the equivalent Nākahi II TF.1 jet aircraft.
Kererū C.2 A400M Beach Landings MOD 45162698 (cropped).jpg  Onekawa-Nukanoa Transport aircraft Primary airlifter vehicle for the Charnean Army, used for rapid strategic relocation and deployment of units across Charnea's expansive territory as well as for logistical support missions.

Drones

Name Image Origin Type Notes
Kōkōpākau RS.3 Armed RAF Reaper Aircraft Approaches Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan MOD 45152091.jpg  Onekawa-Nukanoa Strike UAV Primary ground attack UAV used by the ICA air force in counter-insurgency operations.
U-96 UAV Lipán M3.JPG  Mutul Reconnaissance UAV Platoon level reconnaissance UAV used by ground units.
U-06 AladinDrohne.jpg  Mutul Handheld Reconnaissance UAV Used in a similar role to the larger U-96, used at the section and even the squad level due to being easily portable by infantry.
Tiqeyyin-131 131Launcher.png  Charnea Loitering munition Pusher-prop loitering munition used by the Charnean Army in a similar role to cruise missiles for long range strike missions. Deployed from truck-based launchers capable of launching 5 units. Relatively rudimentary drone using many civilian components to save on cost, it has no optical guidance system and cannot autonomously hunt for targets of opportunity but can adjust course mid-flight to evade known threats.
Tiqeyyin-136 Tiqeyyin-136.png  Charnea Loitering munition Improved version of the 131 munition, with larger wingspan, greatly increased range and more than double the warhead weight capacity.
